a few funny things recently

I have been at home for a couple of days, except going out to shoot pics. All thanks to dammit papers :-( , and life would keep down until November.
Firstly I just present a few pics, which are all street snap without any topics.


 Place apples on stairs, can you get what it means?

 I love the oven, pretty warm and romantic. If having a house, I wanna get it. 


 I shoot the fruits in market, while I shopping.





 Sit around the tree with friends,Chatting and Laughing without restriction.










================================================================================================================================================














I have to mention a pretty warm and romantic film "flipped". flipped is about a boy named Bryce (Callan McAuliffe) and Juli (Madeline Carroll), who grow up together. Juli as a little girl was attracted hopelessly to Bryce, when he moved to opposite of her house. In the next years, relations between them was going up and down.The boy seemed dislike her and do a couple of things, hurting  Juli's heart. Finally when the boy realized that he fell in love her so much, he must  overcome himself to win her back. 





Storytelling of flipped is special format,  it alternates between Juli and Bryce all the time. Therefore we can realize the same event from different view. Further more the casting is perfect, it makes you come back real 60's in American




I think flipped is not limited to love between men and women, besides that it express other types of love, the love between Juli and her father touches me so deep. I love girl with Juli's personality, she is brave and lively with a strong heart, and knows how to love others and herself. In my world, If you did not know how to love and respect yourself, nobody would appreciate you, and love is not begging. Juli is like a great tree, which enables to grow up independently, even if there is no boy's care.

Chinese political reform plan??

Just share a opening plenary with Premier Wen Jiabao in Dalian, he talked much about the plan for Chinese politic and government. It's hardly to see that Chinese officers present political reform in public, I hope it is not only a plan, but also executed in the future. If government could face up to fault and issue itself, I believe reform was one the way.
Btw majority Chinese regard Wen as actor, who just walks through the public with bullshit. However I don't agree with it completely, everyone has their own difficulties.

Frederikshavn, Denmrk

Frederikshavn is a Danish town on the northeast coast of the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. Its name translates to "Frederik's harbour". It was originally named Fladstrand. I went there from gothenburg in sweden by stenaline cruise, and before October one-day return cruise is free for student. From my experience one day is enough to have a glance of most attractions in Frederikshavn, the finest attractions locate in Bangsbo area, which is 3 or 4 km away from port, but there is no need to worry about transportation, the local hotels provide free bicycles for visitor. So you will get a city map in cruise or tourism office near central, and follow the suggested bicycle route, it's such a  sweet service lol. 
Another suggestion is that you'd better visit there in weekday  instead of weekend, because most of shops and museums would be closed in weekend.


During weekend, there is few people in the central, and most shops, even restaurant are closed. Hut you can enjoy empty streets with friends
We got the bicycles from Scandic hotel near port, the receptor only required me to write down mobile number and personal number.so it's totally free for all. Btw it is a little bit tried to ride it, because in Bangsbo area, there is a long mountain road :( , it took us 4 hours for return. 


If there was no sea, it was not harbor.  


 When you ride to Bangsbo, you would went along the sea coast.






Møllehuset
Half timbered building from 1885. Paintings and verses on the walls in one of the rooms. Now a restaurant. It's best time to get there at noon.



Bangsbo is pearl of Frederikshavn, forest and mountain surround the old buildings and relics. It's perfect place for hiking, if your time is available.


Bangsbo manor and musem,the Museum is situated on the Bangsbo Manor, in the beautiful Bangsbo area, surrounded by moat, Botanical Garden, Animal Park, natural playground and Boolsen's Stonegarden. It's free to visit manor except museum.


 Stone wall outside of manor


 Main hall in the manor,river rounds whole manor, it's natural protection


 a few old anchor outside of manor


 The square in manor


 Autumn already came


  Pikkerbakken is a great place to overlook the whole town


I prefer to introduce the most interesting place in Frederikshavn. Bangsbo Fort which was built by the Germans  during the Second World War, lies just south of Pikkerbakken. The area is about 80 meters above sea level, and the canons themselves are around 70 meters above sea level. There is a fantastic view over Frederikshavn and the Kattegat from the Fort.

Who are real freaks

Freaks
Directed,written and produced by: Tod Browning
Release date: 1932
Running time: 62 mins
DVD Released by: Wanner Brothers



















Freaks was banned for 30 years after it firstly released, by now it is still banned in Sweden, Finland and Ireland. I think this is reason why most people wanna watch such classical movie in the 21 century. At first, I'd like to talk about some stories about actors behind it. " Freaks " in film are all original people from our real world, they are unfortunate people to be born with different conditions or deformities. Majority of these special people had acting experience before, therefore they did play well in it. I think this movie just showed what are their lives in real world.


The central story is of a self-serving trapeze artist named Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova), who seduces and eventually marries a sideshow midget, Hans (Harry Earles), after learning of his large inheritance. At their wedding reception, the other "freaks" resolve that they will accept Cleopatra in spite of her being a "normal" outsider, and hold an initiation ceremony, where in they pass a massive goblet of wine around the 
table while chanting, "We accept her! We accept her! One of us! One of us! Gooble-goble, gooble-goble!" The ceremony frightens the drunken Cleopatra, who accidentally reveals that she has been having an affair with Hercules (Henry Victor), the strong man; she mocks the freaks, tosses the wine in their faces, and drives them away. Despite being humiliated, Hans remains with Cleopatra.


Shortly thereafter, Hans is taken ill. Cleopatra has poisoned his wine at the wedding, and continues slipping poison into Hans' medicine so that she can inherit his money and run away with Hercules. Venus (Leila Hyams), another circus performer, overhears Cleopatra and Hercules discussing the murder plot and tells Hans and the other freaks. In the film's climax, the freaks attack Cleopatra and Hercules with guns, knives, and various sharp-edged weapons, hideously mutilating them during a bad storm. Though Hercules is never seen again, the original ending of the film had the freaks castrating him; the audience sees him later singing in falsetto. The film concludes with a revelation of Cleopatra's fate; she has become a grotesque, squawking "human duck". The flesh of her hands has been melted and deformed to look like duck feet and her lower half has been permanently tarred and feathered.(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks)





The shooting and editing is out of date,  but the story is cruel enough to make you remember it. Who are real freaks?  I believe that everyone had some times when we felt like freaks. Think back to you school time, and I am pretty sure that we have done some worst thing like killing cute animal, eat strange food and so on, but we never think about we are real freaks, that is why?


 It is because of good appearance and condition. It's because of we are the same. It's because of thousands of excuses that we came up with, like someone pissed me off, breaking up with gf or bf, and suffering too much pressure. Furthermore, in most of religion original human nature is relativity to greedy, violence and hypocrisy. I think human nature sucks forever, no matter how long we try to keep good, so the only thing we have to keep is rationally thinking, and remind us of not sinking low.


Don't be afraid of freaks, who they just had dinner with you, worked with you, and kissed you.

Love in Cold Moutain

明天早上8点的船去丹麦 Frederikshavn, 一个不大的海边城市。 只有短短一天的旅行时间,要去的地方很多,大概查了一下有6,7个。如果一切顺利,tourism office能给我提供自行车,行程就完美了,呵呵,希望吧。
The day before yesterday I watched film Cold Mountain, it makes me sad. Yesterday I saw the sentence "I love you, but I don't like you anymore". I am totally confused about it, what exactly does it mean?? I asked my friends, one of the answers made me laugh to die. He said that it means I still care you, but I don't wanna fuck you anymore. lol I think the answer is pretty realistic and understandable. Love is feeling for somebody, and like is attitude towards what somebody does.
Let's go back my life. In fact, I have been missing her continuously for two days, and slept at 6 am tonight, I feel that I lost my mind because of her. it's time to stop it,I can't cant't can't ......... That's why I decided to hang around somewhere, the destination is unimportant, I just have to do something else instead of missing her. Hopefully it works, the trip gets me out of her world.
She's the only one I like.
A song for myself :)
