8月23日 告别亲人,告别盛夏It's more difficult than I've thought. After all I've experienced dozens of goodbyes throughout the past several years, say the commute between home and Nanjing, once or twice a year, South Korea, where my first time abroad , and Beijing, where I went to win my bread. All the way to the airport, I tried so hard to be cheerful and forget about all the unhappy reality. But finally at the boarding gate, where dad and mum would have their pass checked in a minute or so, I burst out, weeping like a child right in mum's hug. I know, it's time to say goodbye, again. Nothing could stop it from happening, we all know. On my way back to Reykjavik, alone, one very special goodbye popped up, well the 1st one was mum seeing me off at the dock by the side of Minjiang River before I headed to ride the train to Beijing. Mum was very thin but still tried to help me out with the kinda heavy luggage. I persuaded her to go back while the ferry wouldn't be leaving in half an hour. Unexpectedly she didn't argue a single word, and after a brief wave began to head home. I could clearly see the reluctance on her face, it wasn't easy and the moment she turned around, the overwhelming feeling drove me over the edge. I wanted to shout out and ask her back but I know that would just be in vain. I had to go. Family's existence in the past two months made the house I lived something like home, a real home. But after dad and mum gave it a last glimpse, it became what it was before, a shelter, sparing me of harsh weather of the coming winter but won't help with the despair. Or it could be a place for me to move on with my life while best exploiting what my family have left me with, a fully-stuffed refrigerator, pages of Sichuan cuisine recipes, and a bunch of photos. And last but not least, a spirit, something what their visit is all about. Can't stop missing them all the time, however I know the next reunion won't be far. 8月10日 2009雷克雅未克盛夏,异乡人篇远离故土,语言不通,文化迥异,但并不代表就是陌路人。微笑,即是我们共同的语言。 晚饭后的散步快要结束时,撞见一群正在玩轮滑的冰岛美女。她们主动要和我们合影。咔嚓一声之后,最右边的女孩激动地说,“这是我们的荣幸”。 又是一次晚饭后的散步,议会广场。妈妈走上前,拉住女孩的手说,你非常可爱。女孩十分配合地甩了下PP。 欧洲各国童子军齐集雷克雅未克。表姐逮住一帅哥美女赶紧凑上前。 到哪都能撞上脸皮厚的,瞧这大胡子老兄,硬是往姨妈脸上凑。 满大街的街头艺术,这位小朋友的打扮是最有特色的。 业余的一帮家伙混到专业的登山队当中,也显得专业了,不是吗? 妈妈说,冰岛姑娘长得水灵(啥时给我找一个做儿媳妇)… 四川的火锅在冰岛还在很有市场的。看大家迫切地眼神:路易,赶紧拍完我们好动筷子! 8月9日 2009雷克雅未克盛夏,亲人篇6月24日23时35分许,凯夫拉维克国际机场。来自阿姆斯特丹的冰航班机伴着日落的余晖,徐徐降落。来得刚刚好。去年12月Jenny带妈妈的毕业之旅并特意前来冰岛探班、今年5月雪儿只身一人闯欧专程来冰探望的感动还留有不少余温,无时无刻不在提醒我,I’m not alone。即便是,也是幸福地孤独着。没错,爸妈来了,在经历了从成都到阿姆斯特丹再到雷克雅未克的万里飞行之后,安全抵达。感谢荷兰的WUMING大哥,二老转机的事劳你费心,你在机场为他们买的HOTDOG我尝了一口,味道不错。岁月变迁的痕迹和旅途奔波的憔悴,清楚地写在爸妈的脸上。2007年12月14日首都机场分别时的那一瞥,早已模糊急待更新了。“上车,咱们回家”。 7月9日16时35分许,再见凯夫拉维克机场。来自慕尼黑的冰航班机(没错,飞来飞去都是冰航)在狂风中降临,安然无恙。拥抱吧亲人,2年不见了。上次见面是2007年11月,姨妈和表姐踩着那年秋天的尾巴进京。说是深秋,实已进入北风呼啸的冬。姨妈怕冻,后圆的小屋显然不够温暖,最后被冻得头晕,把表姐和我都吓坏了。冰岛的夏准比北京那次要暖和得多,我不止一次向她保证。行李提取处escalator的上端,远远的,她们来了。“上车,我们去蓝湖”。 下飞机奔往蓝湖,成了一种routine。一路上如果非要说有什么好看的,就是长满苔藓的火山岩。来过冰岛的朋友都知道,光秃秃的一片,没有树没有草,除了冬天盖满白雪不太一样,其余季节都是毛茸茸的苔藓,只是颜色不尽相同。出发前爸妈以舟车劳顿为由竭力反对我直接带大伙去蓝湖的提议。当然他们怎么可能知道蓝湖的最大功效即是让疲劳的旅行者红光满面,容光焕发。我们拎着相机和摄像机一顿狂闪,之后静静地享受泡蓝湖的放松和做天然面膜的乐趣,期待着十分钟之后皮肤都美得跟当地人一样样。 接下来的二十天,一路上班一路安排亲人的观光路线,尽可能加大强度充实行程,为的是继续贯彻一贯的接待宗旨,不能让任何人在离开时带着一丁点的遗憾。Goldern Circle,俗称“老三点”,首都地区100公里范围内的黄金路线,是必须去的;轮廓有型气势不错游客不少的几个瀑布,也去;再远就是冰川、冰湖,更不能漏掉。从日行三百里到日行千里,我的小奥迪经受了考验,成长了。话说冰湖一段单日往返900公里路程,我可是鼓足了勇气睡足了觉的。全程往返16个小时,除了姨妈中途试驾5分钟和表姐在我开始犯睏时及时挺身而出代驾1小时之外,i was always on the wheel(掌声)。奇怪的是,拍了上千张的照片,都很漂亮,但却很难选出几张特别能反映当时我们心情的照片来。相机无法记录的,只能靠脑子去记。记不下的部分,删掉。 8月8日 2009年雷克雅未克盛夏,开篇6月28日 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? 6月26日 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. 6月17日 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"! 5月18日 破冰之旅
