Denmark Now
October 31

!!!

It started with Pablo Neruda...then P started reading another Chilean poetry in BEAUTIFUL Spainsh..with cozy candle and music, we began to read poems in respective languages...
G  got something unforgetable..(Portuguese)
 
Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver,
É ferida que dói, e não se sente;
É um contentamento descontente,
É dor que desatina sem doer.
É um não querer mais que bem querer;
É um andar solitário entre a gente;
É nunca contentar-se de contente;
É um cuidar que ganha em se perder.
 
  • Love is a fire that burns unseen,
    A wound that aches yet isn't felt,
    An always discontent contentment,
    A pain that rages without hurting,
    A longing for nothing but to long,
    A loneliness in the midst of people,
    A never feeling pleased when pleased,
    A passion that gains when lost in thought.  

-----Luís de Camões(c. 15241580 )

I should

I think I should get up earlier
to see the sunshine
if there is any
 
Daylight Saving time ends
and the sunset approaches earlier and earlier...and earlier
heard it can come even before4pm, if not 3pm
in these case
it is very possible that
I fall in sleep because of  dark
and wake
in the dark too

CPH,probably the best city ever

We went to Copenhagen for a three day weekend trip. Here is some conclusions:
1CPH is a real city. Skin colors,music types,food choices etc are all mixed.
2CPH is not safe. Vicky got her wallet stolen on the shopping street and begger appears everywhere!
3CPH is sooo beautiful in SUNSHINE. I gave up plans to museum and opera,just because of the unbelievable amazing sunshine.
4CPH is fashionable as well as erotic...find this by yourself!

Why can't human breath as fishes do?

Because my endless curiosity, we(our house) decide to make every Tuesday as a Question Day. You can challenge any question to anybody, and any question should be answered.

 

It started from my question ” Why were you shaking head when the professor was explaining sovereignty using Kosovo as an example?" He came from Serbia. God, I never could imagine I would have someone come from Belgrade as classmate as well as roomate. We have to see each other 16hours a day.. No reason not to seize the precious chance, isn't it?! He hesitated for a second and began to explain his views, which led to a passionate discussion especially after the American girl's joining.

 

Last evening, with beers, again, we tried to dig the conversation between our the Serbian guy and our classmate, a Albanian girl from Kosovo held earlier that day. It inevitably leads to topics like freedom, democracy, globalization and identity. Finally, we decided not talking about these "never existed ideal concept" and some one suggested "Let's talk about LOVE". Just like the disputes we had in the previous debates, we again divided into realistic perspective as” Love hurts"romantic perspective as"Love is sweet",and skeptical "Love does not exist". Topic soon move on the sex evoked by a girl claiming that she would not mind if her boyfriend cheated her on another guy.” Because he has what i do not have." This liberal saying seems offended the guys and after servel round of questioning and clarifying, the guy suggested us talking about love shouted, pls, let's go back to talk about globalization!

 

Just now, while easting lunch while at the same time reading for writing the assignment, I read the definition of democracy out. The Serbian

who is eating in front of me imposed his great doubt that no modern country has ever reach the democracy ,which again led our conversation towards a diplomatic debate. Trying to creat anther atmosphere, I raised another question, can you tell me how to breath when you are swimming. However, his detailed demonstration just stimulated my another question:” Then, why can't human just breath in the water, like fishes do?"

 

His answer seems useful: Because, fishes can not breath outside the water.

See, that is freedom.

Real Livingstone

"What's going on?" Igor asked me when I went out from the bathroom combing my hair.
"Nothing but I am ust thinking to go to the library.""What for?""Well, maybe I really should try to start my paper now." I was serious.
But after ONE hour sitting in the bright and quite reading room in front of an amazing blondy girl, I have not even opend a word file yet...As you can understand my anxiety seeing fellow students not far away are kniting theirs in a remarkable speed with a confident simle on their young faces(though I can only see their backs).
Anyway, I, as being a cencer, totally forget about the paper when I dropped into this site(http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/). Here are more than 6000 polariod pictures taken by a guy called Jamie Livingstone who passed away on Oct.25th,1997. His friend put his images taken in nearly 20years online after his leaving. Though the index, we can see a real man's life going on with a beautiful Polariod tune. Most of them are as ordinary as you are going through in everyday life,but it is just because of the vivid realness contrast to the cold death brought me such moving emotion. Tone once told me on the bus from Chengdu to Mianyang in a sunny Autumn afternoon:"I felt depressed by the nature of films, they can never be the same as the moment I captured them. " He was as sceptical as usual,"However, I was also scared techniques such as Polariod, the photo came out was just the momet you pressed the shutter, and moreover, it is the only one in the world,like the time passed by. "I have no idea if it is the same reason Jamie took the Polariod camera to document his life.  But seeing a once real life  shinning though pictures really touched me. And only thing I can do as a memorial to him is to pick pictures taken on my birthdays and array them in order here. Though seeking for the overlaps we had experienced together on the planet, I feel great joy and peacefulness.

well,yes, I am still alive

I am using the contax t2-film one-thus I was not abloe to upload daily life as frequently as I did.  Thanks to dear Ms. Chile, I was tagged in many nice pictures taken in the world party the last Friday. Undoubtfully, it was a great fun to have a party with food all around the world made my fellow classmates and  to see people's joyful face after taking enough alcohol. Indian music was of course prevailed during the party and so did the indian girls. But look at the Lartin Americans, they dominated the stage! Anyhow, I really liked the time when everybody was required to sing  their own songs, however, I forgot my lyrics,damn!
n653894015_984111_7165This is literally how it goes at the beginning, most of us, including those never-full growing boys were not able to eat sweets after having so many food!

no more photos recently

Well I admit that I was sort of drunk on the satdurday night. The only thing I remember was we drank a lot beer and danced together crazily,Igor iwas shouting, Gab was leading me to turn all the time,Emma was so pretty..and everybody looked happy with alcohol. But when I woke up the Sunday morning,found that my dear digital camera got too much beer too...!!! I tried to save her with my hair dryer,but it seemed that she would prefer sleeping for a while,nn,maybe forever.
Ok,this is the story. Though I have the contax one,but guess still I will get a new digital one as soon as possible. How about the crazy photos took that night?God bless them!

Back here

The main reason that I am here again is that I want to have my friends(especially those english speakers)updated upon my life here in Europe thus I will mainly use English here as well as many pictures. But I really recommend you Chinese guys to turn to the other blog of mine on Babyin.blogbus.com which you will certainly find more profound words about danish daily life from an international student's perspective and hopefully some of my academic experience here.
Concerning me, basically, I settled down now in a little house north to the University of Aarhus in Denmark after a nearly24 hours flight from Shanghai on the 17th. Today is the last day of the tight-scheduled orientation week. Everybody seems to be quite enjoying the damn cheap friday bar at school and some of them are hanging out to see the biggest yearly event here in the city center,however I came back home early without any alcohol after a failed shoes hunting with Saum, an indian guy in my programme. But my flat mates who are super nice people are all home when I was back really turned me on. Now we have four in our house,two other who took the summer course just moved out last week. All of us,the previous two included are from different countries, but we do get along very well. Not surprisingly, I am the only asian in the house,if not in the neighborhood!
Just before I let me pictures talk,pls allow me to say, I do miss you guys!

CD

朋友从日本带了无印良品的壁挂式CD机给我,开启了我的CD2.0时代。
我是说,在ipod横行、连老爸都在选择手机彩铃、星海的音乐会可以免费去的时段,我又开始使用CD机这种载体来听音乐,有点复古的新潮意味。
这台CD没有玻璃外罩,如果把手贴在转动得CD上阻止它转动,音乐依旧会滴落下来。我不能在租来的房子里任意钻孔,所以,目前我把它扔在枕边,全当是不用耳机听的CD机好了。
我非常能够理解kid同学买了打印机之后连email都要打印出来看的心情。因为我也为我的新伙伴做出了妥协-----我把我电脑里的音乐进行整理和编号,然后,一一刻录到cd盘上,放到CD机上去听。也许,我还会把它打包带去出差,连同笨重的电源和更为笨重的电源转换器!

无题

 
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

                     -----Mary Elizabeth Frye(1905-2004)

 

4月底出发前,把这首诗抄写在一张漂亮的蓝色纸上想给店长张一个小惊喜,却终未实践;日行千里,却在淮海路上跟静安寺的阿君说抱歉;去fayGPRS定位下的pub里没有fay;对身处广州容容说你等等我,却看到“你到时我刚刚离开”

是什么让我和我想念的人们变得疏远?还好翻看相机还有akko,老妈和亮亮. 回到家处处干净到shinning因为有丽榕.

o,把上个月好不容易见到的掉头鸟给忘记了,就像那份许留山!

那么告诉我,How far would you go for HAPPINESS?
我的答案是,双手拎满购物战利品、肩膀就要垂到地上、双脚注了铅的时候,还是会折回头绕200米,买一个热烘烘的红豆包。
