it is heard that there are some short courses(7 or 10 days) hold in this small Monastery, so I took a taxi and paid a visit there. Unfortunately, for November, it only will host one month course. Therefore I have to skip the course, just pay attention to this monastery itself.

大佛堂只有一个monk管理, 他也很奇怪, 特别对我优待, 挪了个私人的蒲垫给我. (正好, 那么公共的蒲垫都给用的很旧了, 不奢望他们会每周清洗). 作为在外旅游的中国人, 很多时候都没金发碧眼的老外吃香.所以本小姐有点纳闷, 我咋就有特别待遇呢?! 原来他是寺里唯一的一个中国人,  四十多岁了, 叫Nima(太阳). 出身在四川甘孜, 自小就决定走佛途, 在印度呆过一段时间, 然后就转战到nepal, 一呆就是十八年了. 中文讲得还不错, 但有时侯会想不到词. 他喜欢Nepal的环境和天气(听他意思, 就是嫌印度), 在这里管吃管住, 但没收入. (可我咋见他有手机呢?! 难不成是化缘化来的). 这里一定要学会的语言出了nepal 外就是藏语, 是每年考试的必考科目. 基本上我见到上了年纪并有一定地位的monk都是人手一部手机, 而且都心宽体胖,但绝对是每个都慈眉善目. 本小姐最最关心的问题就是: 如果要进来这寺庙, 门坎有多高. Nima说  : 想来就来呗, 不用考试,不用交钱. 但你搞错一件事, 本寺庙是全男班.    .  但不用灰心, 下面一点那个寺庙就是全女班. (还好有个补充说明). 可问题是横看竖看, 还是觉得这个寺庙环境好. Nima说, 没关系, 你可以来进修或干脆就住它几个月(作为游客就好啦, 反正交钱就行了).

总结: 人人尽说江南好，游人只合江南老。 (现在不适合来这住,老了再说)

Tricks (Sztuczki)

During the long summer holidays, six-year-old Stefek follows his 17-year-old sister Elka as she works by evening in a bar and prepares for her job interview with a large international company. One day, at the railway station, they see a man who Stefek suspects may be the father who abandoned him at birth. Stefek and Elka have developed a life in which they believe that 'tricks' or games can influence the course of events. Stefek embarks on a new sequence of games of chance in which he hopes to win back his lost father, turning up at the station every day and attempting to prolong their encounters.

 ***********************************************************************

there are lots of scene impressed me....

1 Stefek tried to set free the doves, but even he has opened the cage, the doves just ignored him and refussed to fly out of the cage.......

2 Elka ate the watermelon by the street---It is so fun seeing her eating that piece of watermelon.

3 Stefek woke up at the train in the early morning, when he stared out the side door of the train, city scene alternatedly flashed past.

4 close up---there are lots of close up, actor's face sometime almost occupy half the screen.

My big big boss came across and shouted, “we need a model, the filming is just about to start” wow! We do know there is a film production team coming from Beijing and will shoot a short film introducing our routine job and the whole working procedure. But who knows there is a need for a model. Big boss kept yelling and encouraged us “hey, we need a movie star, en.. who need to have beautiful hands to show how XXXX machine work” ….We tried to smother our disappointed expression when we heard the word “hand”, and silence keep hovering over. Still, no one responded to her, before she freak out, my co-worker who said beside me finally voiced her opinion: how about XXXX? Her hands are well-known for its perfect. The rest of us exhaled imperceptibly, and nodded to confirm her recommendation. So, we “betray” another colleague who does not belong to our team.

“Tim had pronounced it to have the greatest atmosphere of any restaurant he’d been to”

“it reminded me that you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me”

This is typical expression foreigner would use, exaggerating every simple ordinary thing. Last time when I wore that red skirt, my boss widened her eye in shock and praised : this is the most gorgeous color I have even met! I have to sniffle a laugh and prevent myself from rolling my eyes, feigned a delighted voice to say. “thank you”

“I know it’s a cliché and it’s probably off the mark, but I keep thinking of you sitting in a tent at a makeshift table, with an oil lamp burning beside you while the wind blows outside. It’s so much more romantic than reading something on the same machine that you use to download music or research a paper………………………” actually in reality, John was sitting in the fluorescent-lit, government-issued desk inside his wooden barracks………..

Ah huh…girlish thing. You can never imagine how silly and stupid girl could become when it come to romantic. How about you have a bad handwriting, does it lessen it’s romantic? Gosh! We are watching the movie “ you’ve got mail” nowadays, how come people still anticipate the written letter enclosed in a traditional envelope, which was carried by old-fashion surface mail. Maybe , Postcard is fine with me, but when it come to the written letter which just go to far. If I did receive it, I have to doubt whether the sender is insane. I do like this plot appearing in the novel or movie, but in the reality, I just don’t buy it a bit. Maybe I have lost the sense of romantic, but let’s say it I am just too scared to meet some weird guy.

Dear John is written by Nicholas Sparks. It is not as good as I expected, not that impressive or touching as the praise and compliments recommended on the book review. Some critic said it had tremendous emotional depth, oh my god, it was going too far. What caught my eye mostly is not the love story between John and Savannah, it is the relationship between John and his father. His father has Asperger, which means developmental disorder. In other words, he was like rain man, remember that movie?! But the difference is his situation is relatively miner, which enable him to have been married once, raise his child on his own and obtain a steady job. But the bad side is his inexistent social life and only can talk about coins. John always want to have normal father like others, who can share idea and thoughts, patting his back to encourage and push him going forward. John also is eager to have some normal conversation with his father apart from coins. Finally, when he discovered the fact that the only way to attach with his dad is through coins which is revealed by Savannah who is majored in special education. Though the fact is harsh and unbearable, John did improve his relationship with his father and move long pretty well. He became more understanding about his father’s love for him. I don’t know what to say about it, this part looks like kind of something stuck in the throat. Life is not always perfect, we have to admit something there we cannot change. Maybe love is on so many level, once you know they have try their best, you should just take it instead of asking for the same as others. I have not finished the whole book yet, but I have a peek over the ending which is not a happy one. However, as we all know, the most touching and memorable thing always contains sorrow and sad.
