临时三刻男 Daniel『Rhapsody in Blue』
7/15/2008 Growing Pain and Painful legs in PRAHAFarewell my dear Cesky Krumlov. The scenery's only appeared in the PC games... or dreams. But it was real and I was there watching the clouds and Vltavar afloat together with harmony. Three-hour bus ride away, I'm now in the Tyn Court of Prague. The hostel I stay is nestled right inside the Court and within walking distance to main attractions. The coal-dark spears of the upright architectures mark the glory of the town that survived the difficult years. The Vltavar twists its way from Cesky Krumlov up to the Praha area. Dvorak was right about his motherland. Czech is a great nation that embraces the essence of nature has to offer and its people are living in the utmost simple joyce. Charles IV is a name recognized by tourists and of course the Czech people. The bridge and numerous other architectures with grandeur are built either under his name or order. The city has undergone so much that not a single museum could cover its stories - the tradition, revolution and innovation... But the visit to the C-ism Museum was definitely a funny one. The Museum situates somewhere near MUSTEK and can be reached via a casino. Easy to miss and hard to forget. My legs are killing me at their maximum. But thanks to my dear, I had leg-relief-patches with me. Ha, sounds weird but they really worked. I'm gonna explore further into the more ordinary Czech life in the next few days - hopefully not in the way of a tourist but an 'observer'. BTW, I've taken hundreds of pics that should be ready for uploading once I'm back. Stay tuned. 7/4/2008 Growing Pain and Painful legs in PRAHA 十分奇怪，用email方式blog的这一篇竟然没有发布成功。 现在补上…… --- June 30, 2008 03:06:22 AM CST Farewell my dear Cesky Krumlov. The scenery's only appeared in the PC games... or dreams. But it was real and I was there watching the clouds and Vltavar afloat together with harmony. Three-hour bus ride away, I'm now in the Tyn Court of Prague. The hostel I stay is nestled right inside the Court and within walking distance to main attractions. The coal-dark spears of the upright architectures mark the glory of the town that survived the difficult years. The Vltavar twists its way from Cesky Krumlov up to the Praha area. Dvorak was right about his motherland. Czech is a great nation that embraces the essence of nature has to offer and its people are living in the utmost simple joyce. Charles IV is a name recognized by tourists and of course the Czech people. The bridge and numerous other architectures with grandeur are built either under his name or order. The city has undergone so much that not a single museum could cover its stories - the tradition, revolution and innovation... But the visit to the C-ism Museum was definitely a funny one. The Museum situates somewhere near MUSTEK and can be reached via a casino. Easy to miss and hard to forget. My legs are killing me at their maximum. But thanks to my dear, I had leg-relief-patches with me. Ha, sounds weird but they really worked. I'm gonna explore further into the more ordinary Czech life in the next few days - hopefully not in the way of a tourist but an 'observer'. BTW, I've taken hundreds of pics that should be ready for uploading once I'm back. Stay tuned. 7/2/2008 HomeI'm taking flight OK 760 to Paris. Airline codes are funny sometimes. Let me check (or Czech?) if this Czech Airline company really does it in the OK way. LH and AF stands for Lufthansa and Air France respectively, which corresponds to the 'initial rule'. But Air China is not that lucky. The AC code was registered by Air Canada and the inverted CA is now used by the leading Chinese airline. Another carrier that bears the C initial is the Chinese Airlines with its hub in Taipei, which has to stay odd with the code CI. Less attention is paid to the code-names of the regional airline companies in China. MU, CZ, FM... absolutely no idea for first time passengers... 6/26/2008 LovelyDvorak is tombed here, Goethe visited 13 times here in Karlovy Vary... It's a lovely place with spring 'feed' everywhere. Salty and even rusty taste water at 50 degree or above, is said to be potent. BTW, the hostel is excellent - more than a dorm/apartment!! Daniel Sent from my iPhone 6/25/2008 MILANOIt's the third time in Milano. The streets were namely empty on the day of arrival. Shops closed, restaurants shut and the only place that was still alive? Guess what, it's the Piazza Duomo. Italians waving national flags and safeguarding police in slim-cut uniforms flocked into the very Centro of this slightly under-developed and highly-materialized capital of the fashion industry. The following days are filled with glamour. I got a peak at the SS09 Gucci men's collection and witnessed the launch of a very interesting new fragrance by the fashion house. Authentic party animals flooded the after-party and rocked the night away with champagnes and mojitos. Yesterday was unspeakable. Basicly it was HARD. Interviews with James Franco, the new face for Gucci's new fragrance, and Frida Giannini, creative director of the house, were all like 20 minutes behind schedule. That's been the pleasant part of the day, however. The painful experience started when I shop. Wrong directions, closed metro line and hiss weather... The shopping paradise kind of failed me. I'm packed and ready for a ride to Malpensa, and then to the very beginning of THE TRIP TO CZECH. Ciao! Daniel Sent from my iPhone 6/22/2008 Bon VoyageAll set. I'm being the least eco-friendly backpacker ever... I printed pages of travel tips and categorized them into envelopes. So I did. Anyway, I'm waiting for the first leg of flight to Paris, to be followed with a short-haul to Milan. 6/21/2008 行前行前的小焦虑终于过去了。在强大的google translation的帮 助下，在捷克语网站上预定了捷克行所有城际大巴票。 而后还打印了旅行攻略几十页，办了online check-in... 心 安啦。 值得一提的是，此行第一站仍将是熟悉又陌生的米兰。 那儿又要重演两年前世界杯法国-意大利大战时的狂热 了吧。彼时的米兰，满街欢腾的球迷，骑着vespa，手举 国旗，用摔酒瓶的方式庆祝意大利的胜利。那这周日 呢？ Daniel Sent from my iPhone 《我博报告》待命 Live-Blog Ready事实证明，强大的意念可以促使愿望的达成。25岁那 天，在意念驱动下，我搭上飞往Barcelona的班机。今年的 捷克行也临时三刻地成真了。 旅居捷克五年之久的友人建议道，何不做个live blog，走 到哪儿博到哪儿。寻思着，这也不啻为让留守人士心安 的好法子。于是，但凡在机场、酒店、青年旅社，只要 有wi-fi，就让我提供博起来吧。 Daniel Sent from my iPhone 7/30/2007 ChemistrySolution is the solution. Chemistry is the ultimate compound to successful interaction. 7/24/2007 推论既然天亮，索性就不睡了。 iPod标准配置的破烂耳机似乎此时发声困难，如同被闹钟或骚扰电话吵醒后的嘶哑嗓音。也许是电压不足就会跑调？那岂不是每个五音不全的人都无法担当合格的发电机？那发不了电的“时尚人士”就只有长痘的份了？ 依次逻辑，长痘的时尚人士都应该以钱柜为悲哀。 苏珊阿姨的话在一个长于思辨的家伙面前提起对于苏珊米勒阿姨的敬仰。突然发觉苏珊阿姨（看过其人照片便不愿称其为姐姐）的预言准确度是建立在对事物发展取向概括的宏观维度之上的。譬如某月，苏珊阿姨说天蝎座人士本月家中必有水患。“水患”这一相对宽广的定义可真包罗万象。于是某天我回到当时的旧宅，发现在北京度过的那第一个冬日将于淋漓不尽的破暖气管道为伍，不得不吸口气，佩服苏珊阿姨关于水患预言的精准。善于思辨的家伙说“你打翻个水杯也是当月水患啊”。于是，我对于苏珊阿姨的执着小小动摇。而她预言的“天蝎座7月初的旅行”转而又被我分析为“顺应了欧美人的夏日度假习性”。唉，果然这信任危机一旦有了端倪就不可阻挡。
但终究看苏珊姐姐的预言还是有小乐趣和小欣慰的。对于easy money或是romantic dates的预言总能令人小小迷幻并产生小小期许。而她说的“职业建设问题”又那么中肯而富于建设性，真是让人心中顿时有了盼头，觉得人生道路不远处尚有明灯数盏。 5/21/2007 Getting Rapturedneed no amp or limelight getting raptured is simply hands-on easy getting raptured within 48 hours getting raptured in the can have to believe in sweet sensation and get obsessed conclusion u r a loser stand behind his drunken amp stand behind his light of love hear him yowl his bloody tongue hear him yell 4 blood and war do you believe in his sweet sensation do you believe in second chance do you believe in rapture babe a terrible hit strikes today a terrible hit for the parade burnin’ eyes seek jesus comin jesus comes to pave the way can you tell me what to feel open up yr tender soul can I drink yr drunken mercy wine burns the devil’s hole 5/14/2007 六旅人在这一刻，对于旅行意义的讨论显得很多余。
带来兴奋、快乐甚至欲望的同旅人是旅行的关键。
踏入广播台那道由武警守卫的大门，进入所谓的喉舌单位。
时间从未如此轻快地走过。
我们谈了菲律宾之行，略去一切不宜公开的细节。
发言男子A
他在话筒前迸发了一如既往的驾驭性。
关于此次旅行的细枝末节，他有绝对的发言权。
然而，之后回放的广播中，此男语音中高频段的锋利被话筒或是后期过滤了。
一位专业、话语速度偏快、讲话落点准确、有着强烈意识流支撑的“导游”。
发言女子A
这位小姐周围氤氲着一种奇异的光芒，时隐时现。
闪亮的时候，她听上去看上去读上去未必善良。
晦暗的时候，她却好似那些独自行走在MV中的角色，纯良得让人无奈。
她对于吃的热情不亚于我认识的另几个“胃”为大观的可爱女子。
她对于奇乐奇文奇旅的热忱也教人喜欢。
只是，她有时太平均。
直播的那一刻，她似乎很欢快。因为她在真实地说她的快乐。
发言男子B
此男以抢镜头为长。
他的豁出去精神在皓月当空的海滩边尤甚。
对于陆上动物，他丝毫没有兴趣。因此，他是个不彻底的素食主义者。
然而，屡次参加马拉松的他在水里的确有脚蹬螺旋桨般的奇迹泳速。
也许是因为他摄入的肉类都来自水系的缘故。
他不仅在毒日炙烤沙地的时候入宅补眠，更因充沛精力无法在购物时全然施展而小怒一番。
幸好，本善的他现在满心欢喜。
旁听女子A
如果每人都保有一册性格档案，那切记，旅行时要把档案留在家中。
十余日的旅途中，她宽广了性格的外立面，开朗明亮了许多。
对于one-piece晚礼裙的情感是她购物情绪的美好亮点。
那真是一件特别美丽的连衣裙，for god's sake.
肤色如健康小麦加若干号、体型愈趋窈窕、性格更见明亮：旅行之大收获也。
失踪女子A
话说五人齐聚电台直播间时，优雅端庄的女子却不见了。
她对于旅行的听觉贡献是伟大的。
她指引着我们进入了每一个有酒精伴随的音乐之夜。
而我，旁听男子B，对于旅行的贡献是：每当有人想拍摄“在路上”的旅人，只需将镜头瞄准我迅速按下快门即可。
解掉手表，关上手机，用自己的脉搏感应时间的流逝。
踩踏在细沙与海水之间的柔软地带，一直向前，心中默念，这路不应有尽头。 5/13/2007 真的不在我的梦境里，从未出现过幽闭空间。
最可怕的噩梦不过是坠落坠落再坠落。
水下，很温暖。
按动那枚释放浮力背囊内气体的按钮。
拼命用嘴吐纳从氧气罐里输出的珍贵气体。
呼吸仍旧均匀。嘴里有跑完1000米之后的淡淡血腥味。
继续吞咽唾沫继续下潜继续把握那根探向海底的绳索。
我此时想找的，在，但是不在视野内。
到达绳索尽头，摆脱依靠摆脱安全感。
教练打出OK手势。
我不划水不拨浪，保持静止，继续呼吸。
任由自己下沉，沉到海底。
进入幽闭空间状态，作享受状。 3/27/2007 在别处在北京工作的日子里通常每天都有这样的瞬间：从倒灌冷风的永安里地铁冗长而蜿蜒的通道抵达临街的出口，和阳光打个照面。这种阴郁之后看见阳光而大悦的心情估计只有生活在多雨地方的人们才能理解。于是，我们的大型客机降落在LA时，没看见加州阳光的我根本打不起精神来。LA的入境处官员具有极高的种族多样性，机场管理人员操三四国语言给肤色各异的人们当向导。一个华裔老者时而用汉语时而用西班牙语招呼着带着长途飞行倦意的人们，指挥他们去入境处按指纹通关。
这之后的LA也并没有什么大惊喜。虽然我们整天在比佛利山出没，但除了Rodeo Drive的名品店，这还是美国。经纬分明的社区和动辄上千上万的门牌号（比如我们住地9500 Wilshire Blvd），这只能让我想起电脑游戏模拟城市里构建的城邦。但凡奢华的体验都是欧陆的舶来品位。而自由之国的影星们都躲藏了起来。直到回国前看了一眼People上的八卦，才发现我们曾与那些名流那么接近。只能说，那些潜伏在比佛利山的帕帕拉齐们真有能耐。
如此的经纬城市布局完全泯灭了我的购物欲望。也不难理解美国发达的电子商务缘何而起了。显然LA只能用来流浪，生活并不在这里。 2/26/2007 再意外再次意外发生在新年伊始。
其实原本新年就是个无聊的把戏。类似的菜式类似的谈话类似的亲戚，无聊透顶。加上因为我离沪而暂停的宽带，更让人“痛不欲生”。但年尾有同样心情的一定不止我一个。果然，就有时尚奢华没意思人士一枚，约去吃了上海滩版本的糖朝。只是觉得这个菜式到了上海就不那么诱人了。不过，也许并不该责怪这些菜。是年尾综合症搞的也不一定。之后又悻悻地去了芭芭露莎。原因有二：懒得挪动到过于遥远到地方；实在是离沪太久，不知何处为新开酷。
我并没有依照惯例点dry martini，而是点了现在都回想不起来的某种酒饮。只记得在临窗的座位快速消灭了杯里的酒精，看着飘雨的窗外，享受室内的暧昧和温暖。当然这暧昧只是芭芭露莎的吧台区域的整体氛围而已。只见得进来欢饮的人越来越多，只是没几张中国面孔了，想必都回家欢度佳节去了吧。
这第一节的故事发生在狗年年尾。
然而神奇的事情发生在年初一。只有同样在年初一下午感到无聊的人才会以极其漫无目的的方式逛街。意外发生地点是去往久光地下超市的入口。时尚奢华没意思人士从背后拍了我一下。我回过头超级镇定地说，你怎么也在这里。就平静地开始意外事件。话说时尚奢华没意思人士年前还不停喝咳嗽药水嚼枇杷糖丸。年前“约会”过后病况喜见好转，于是其惊呼“约会力量大”。那么这意外事件之后又是一阵城市暴走。看来都是练就了行走功夫的人，一下午行走都毫无怨言。我这个背着电脑准备去找个地方wi-fi的可怜人还算是负重练习。也就是这次行走经验，让我也暂时染上了“时尚-奢华-没意思-呓语症”，但凡看到事物的第一句评语必然动用这个短语其中一个语素。
顺理成章地，晚上到家我就关怀了一句，你咳嗽好些了么。那边传来了积极正面的答复。看来真是“约会力量大”，有疗痒咳痨的功效。路遭偶遇而泰然处之显然是意外的亮点。不过话说事不过三，再再意外不知何时？ 1/15/2007 意外总以为地铁上唱歌的男女必然伸手要钱，但今天看见的男孩却仅仅把车厢当作一个试验舞台。清脆的歌声退去之后，身边乘客不禁鼓起掌来。当然也有大声说“他怎么不要钱”的。男孩用清澈的嗓子和车厢里的男女老少道别，说要谢谢朋友们给他这个机会，自己准备下车去后一班的车厢上结识新朋友去了。送他下车的是再一轮自发的掌声。 木质吉他和信使包，清瘦但勇敢的孩子。我从来不是这样也不会这样吧。如果那年夏天真被拽去弹琴，今天的黑色iPod里有个像模像样的demo也不一定呢。但这样的假设只能是假设了。那样的锐气和莽撞已然很稀缺。于是只能每天把耳塞当作一道去往时空隧道的大门，回去那年夏天，甚至更早之前。
