June 28 Day 2 Couldn't
believe they were already up. It's merely 6:00 something in the
morning, jet lag. I struggled to get up from the couch, staring at them
and bit myself to prove it's all reality. They are here, with me for 2
months. Hunger finally made them cave in and noodles was automatically
the first choice, as we did in Sichuan. And to the point I was totally
amazed, that 'keep your mind open and soak in the experience', they're
both mentally and physically ready for any adventure lies ahead. They
barely speak any foreign language other than Sichuan dialect if it
counts, and I don't plan to give them any city map or GPS, not in this
case. They will explore all about the city on their own. Somehow I was worried before they left China and transfer in the Netherlands. Mum paniced a couple of times, repeating the cliche of 'lost in an exotic country', which's long been one of her fantasies. But once they appeared at the escalator of Keflavik International Airport, all those anxieties, gone. Their adventure began around 8:30, leaving me alone at the house. I could hardly imagine what they might encounter, and what they would feel about the city. To make it easier, I'd repeated several times that Reykjavik is by all means the least beautiful place of Iceland. Like it or not, will be their rights to judge. Two months' time is never too long, can't afford to waste any second. I rushed back home after a brief lunch, recognizing mum assume the title of 'Commander in Chief' of the house again. Everything was so familiar as it was yesterday that mum taking the apron and dad playing the "game of go" online. They had some stories for me, like they met bunches of nice and hospitable Icelanders, took a tour near the harbour which's 5 minutes' walk from the house and so on. After trying to deal with all the mess with the washing machine, i ran out of time and had to go back to office instead of staying with them for their late lunch. 17:30, home again. They were expecting me around 17:00 however I could not make it so I decided to cook sth Icelandic for dinner, tried to make up. Flawed dinner as I put it on my MSN screen msg: baked salmon with cheese, Italian style spaghetti (with beef tomato sauce). They said they loved it a lot and we did actually finish all the dishes, so, probably they were telling the truth. Day 2 ended up with birds harassing us and intending to kick us out of their territory in a rather offensive manner. That was part of our long walk near the light house, with the birds' island and 9-hole golf course in vicinity. Should we had taken one picture with the bird 'attacking' us, day 2 would be perfect. Nevertheless, does it really matter if it is perfect when being with your loved ones? June 26 欢迎英语爱好者纠错指证Papa and Mum's Day 1 in Reykjavik
23:35 June 24th, FI505 arrived at Keflavik Airport, almost on time. Dad and mum landed, safely but totally exhausted. Dad seemed like 10 years older than last time I saw him, which was December 14, 2007. Can't wait to get them on the Audi, and the road home. Mum had noticed aboard, that the more westerly they flew, the brighter it became. Amazing, they agreed. The rest of the drive was somewhat obscure, with they almost speechless on the rear seats busy appreciating the landscape. Unique. They didn't seem to feel hungry, but thirsted for the milk I've prepared for them. Obviously dad had been expecting a natural hotspring trip for long thus as we passed by Blue Lagoon, he commented 'ahha, that's the one we're going to enjoy'. Yes, we will, but later. I wouldn't have bothered to explain once again about the mottled wall of my apartment if they are not my family. Anyway, they didn't quite notice or care about that. All that matters, is the inside space they are supposed to live in for almost 2 month. They rejected my offer of anything edible, ending with the fully-stuffed refrigerator complaining about the overload. What they would like to do, was merely a shower and then bed. Fine for me. After they both went to sleep, I lay down on the couch, waiting for the fatigue to bring me in. As tired as they were, I were often motionless in seconds' time, but weird enough, I simply couldn't fall asleep. Obviously I have underestimated the over-excitement of seeing my folks here in Iceland. Sooner or later. Then the darkness came up. June 17 Today vs. One year from NowToday, June 17th, National day of Iceland. Pizza dinner with two Icelandic friends. And, one year from now... Sitting with all ambassadors accredited to Iceland, and enjoy the pride of being part of it. Hang around downtown, alone, and ended up in the office. Would have bothered to warn Icelanders of the coming crisis if would have forseen the whole collapse in October. The subtle changes may not be recognizable, but one thing for sure, almost the same hairstyle-that is "no style"! May 18 破冰之旅

March 03 英雄也是寂寞的从Gamli出来,雪花成片成片地飞。戴好耳塞,准备回家。Touch意外地shuffle出吉吉的《就是爱你》,绝佳的配搭。此情此景,怎能让人不感慨。Iceland是寂寞国度的典型,而英雄,也大都是寂寞的。为了响应博友们的号召,也实在不能眼巴巴地望着人一篇又一篇那么更新(尤其是Kevin和树熊树熊),特意花了点功夫把部分照片整理出来,让没到过冰岛的看官们过把瘾。 由于气候变暖冰川融化天然形成的,冰湖,位于冰东南部。冰岛大叔正在搜罗供游客们食用的冰块! 小冰岛竟有欧洲最大的国家公园。位于冰东南部,90%以上的面积为冰川。 冰岛东部,云雾缭绕的山谷。云雾遮盖的山谷底部,藏着一个世外桃源。 夕照,云海,日落,皆完美。 冰岛有无数瀑布,Dettifoss以暴力著称。You jump, I jump? 火焰山?冰岛绝非一片冰天雪地;而二十余里之外,又是另一片青山绿水。 可爱的海鹦(puffin)。很不幸,冰岛人跟广东人一样,什么都吃。 |
