里約熱內盧的copacabana沙灘

終於都張巴西的照片所記憶卡內轉送到電腦去，找到其中這張在里約熱內盧住的第三間酒店窗外怕的夜景。這沙灘是很出名的Copacabana沙灘，出名在那裡就真的不知。不過夜晚還有不少人在沙灘上踢足球，可想而知為何巴西出那麼多足球明星，而就我們所見，在沙灘上踢球的人水準真的不錯。所相的左方可以見到都是密麻麻的高樓大廈，給我的感覺就好像到了香港的灣仔軒尼斯道，跟我心目中的巴西一點都不像。

我們夜晚吃過飯後都會到沙灘旁的小食亭買個青椰子飲，在Copacabana沙灘上是2.5real (約1歐羅或10.5港元), 在Salvandor才是0.8real，旅遊區真是旅遊區。

又是大減價時候

從昨天起法國又開始了夏季的大減價，由於今年天氣比平時的凍，所以很多商舖的減幅都比往年多，眼見很多一減已經是半價，所以昨天跟朋友行grand magasins 那邊的時候已經是人山人海。其實我很怕這麼多人的時候shopping，但還是不會跟錢包過不去，在減價時間買是真的可以省不少。所以今天晚上都跟肥外在春天百貨購物，雖然定下了要買的目標，但經過3個多小時之後，我只是買了一對鞋，其他的一律律通通沒有的的呎碼。才只是遲了一天呀!

一週年紀念

是不是過了一週年紀念之後還可叫新婚，新婚的定議是什麼? 我在填寫表格的時候，婚姻狀況的那一欄我還會很自然地想填單身; 我倆對鞋子應如何擺放還未有一個完全的解決方案; 早上誰先起身弄咖啡都你我推讓未有定案; 我對肥外處理CD的方法還真一點都不可認同，經常在Michael George處找到Bob Marley。所以我們還應該在新婚適應(調整?)期，在協調大家不同之處。再者，這一年也好像過得很快，對我來說更甚，巴黎的每件事和周邊的人都不同，每一天對我來說都有點戰戰兢兢的感覺。這一年我都常覺得肥外這裡，那裡做得不好，一點都不體諒我的處景，理解我所承受的壓力，很多時我都有一種孤獨感，好像好多事都要獨自去應付，或都要自己去爭取，開始有點給壓得透不過氣之感，常問自己這是婚姻生活嗎? 是不是單身生活比較適合我? 其他夫妻又是不是也必需經過這一個階段? 這個階段會維持多久?

就只是這幾天開始用第二角度去看我們，是否過去我要求得太多，太要肥外穿着我的鞋子走路，是否我太鑽牛角尖? 我常認為我為了這段婚姻放棄了一切，放棄了一切我在乎得要命的，所以肥外理應對我如天上明珠的好，常要他每事以我為先。今晚吃過飯後我問他，對著我這個對他永不滿意的太太，難道不會累麼? 他沒有考慮便答:「沒有，可能你會覺得我不愛你，不過我真的很愛你。」聽了後，我開始覺得這一年來我沒有真正及努力的去諒解他，可能跟我希望他站在我這邊還有一段距離，但他己盡了能力去迎合我的無理要求。我忘了肥外也為我放棄了很多，他要忍受這個不斷多多要求的我，3天有一天鬧情緒的我。我也忘了他是一個獨生子又給母親過份的寵壞，要去照顧一個人對他來說並不來得自然，為他人設想的行為並沒有在我出現前發生過，所以其實他跟我一起也很辛苦地適應兩個人的生活，而且他從沒跟我抱怨過。

突然好像想通了，在肥外努力的同時我也要學習諒解，找一個平衡的中間點，我們還有很多路要一起走，我們都有一個共同的目標，我要不停的提醒自己要向前望，不要為小小的不快而鑽牛角尖。說是容易，做還是另一回事，寫在這裡，讓我不可忘記。

有趣的肥外

除了星期五及六下了一些雨外，從巴西回後的天氣真的好極，晚上又十點多才天黑，我沒有帶手錶的習慣，6、7點還太陽猛猛的所以很多時都不知原來很晚。有點感好似太陽不會下山似的。


上個月考文試前收到新加坡皮媽的3本書，一是不看，一看便停不了，因為實在太好笑了所以最後連考試也不顧。她寄給我的是「我的打令是外個人 - 第一、二冊」及「交換日記-第9冊」。在「我的打令是外個人」中，那個日本作者用漫畫方式說出一些她跟她的打令生活上的一些趣事。其實很多都集中於說她打令的好笑事。所以我也開始想想肥外的一些有趣事，目前為止就只想到這幾點(呵...呵...)

1. 肥外看賽車比賽、網球比賽、打機的時候都會整個身體多個部位都會跟著賽車、網球的方向動。我說的不止是頭呀，好像當我們在巴西的機場等候上機的時候都會用肥外的blackberry打撞磚的遊戲來打發時間，肥外有一次由於投入得很，連腳都一起跟撞磚的球一起動，球是撞了磚，而他的腳就撞了坐在他隔鄰的候機乘客去。

2. 跟肥外在街上走其實還挺危險的，因為當跟他一起走路的時候，他會不知不覺的向我那邊推，你可知巴黎的街上的狗便便很多，一不留神可給他推到狗便便上。不過很多時都是給他推出行人路，沒有車來的時候還挺安全的。

3. 這個我可是將我的快樂建築在他的身體殘障上，不過還真的每次我都會跟他取笑一番。就是他的兩腳的尾指都是完全不會動的，而其他四隻都只能有限度的向上下彎曲，要他們撐開是完完全全不可能的事。在香港的時候，有次我跟朋友去做瑜珈，有一段導師要求我們把所有腳指撐開，以我所見每位同學都沒有問題呀，我當下子就想到了肥外的腳指，若他也在同一班上學瑜珈我一定會笑死。可能這個還可申請傷殘泊車證，那麼在巴黎泊車就快便多啦。

其實可笑的還有幾個，等下次再續吧, 呵...呵....

幾個旅遊網站

準備去巴西的時候，我們都是在網上買機票及訂酒店，經過一輪網上格價，發現這幾個網站的價格不錯，打算出外旅遊的不防參考一下:

Voyages-SNCF - http://www.voyages-sncf.fr (法國出法的機票、法國內陸機票、世界各地的酒店都可以裡找到，個人覺得機票是比其他網站平)

AsiaRooms - http://www.asiarooms.com/ (差不多是可以找到最平的網站，若早點訂房價格更低)

Best Western Hotel Chain - http://www.bestwestern.com/ (世界各地都有best western的酒店，於此網站訂房比其他網站訂best western訂的平至少10%)

終於都回來了

雖然巴西之行的行程緊湊，吃和住都不差，不過都是回到家的感覺最好。星期五晚回來後都一直很累，可能是時差再加上在機上一直都睡不到，所以還不有時間整理所拍的照片，所以要等等呀。 因為明天要早起的關係，待我過幾天才報告今次巴西行程。

Another update from Salvador, Brasil

Time flies, 2 weeks of holiday almost come to an end, today is the 5th day in Salvador since we left Iguassu. We only stayed two days in Iguassu but it was more than enough for us, as Salvador is a relatively small town comparing with Rio de Janeiro or Salvador, in Iguassu, seems like all the activities there are around visitors visiting the Iguassu falls. We picked to visit the falls in Argentina side rather than those in Brazilian side, as majority of the falls are situated in Argentina side.

The falls in Igassu are stunning and really have taken me breathless, not only that I have a very close ENCOUNTER with them, but also I have seen rainbows that were so close that I almost can touch. The biggest fall there named Diablo fall, which Diablo in English is Devil, but I found it contrary divine. We also took a speed boat trip along to get a close look to one of the falls and as expected we were totally wet, I wish I have taken a shampoo so I can wash my hair in the falls, I am sure I would have been the pioneer. Haa..haa...

During the night we went to a local BBQ buffet restaurant for dinner which is amazingly good and amazingly affordable, which is only 4 euro per person, other than the food I also found the place interesting as it packed with local people and its environment is like Hongkongs Tai Pan Tong.

The day we arrived in Salvandor was a nightmare, as our flight was supposed to be a firect flight, but we only know that we need to stop over at Sao Paulo for 30 mins while we checked-in. As predicted, the flight was delayed for 2 hours and while we arrived at Sao Paulo, we wered asked to leave the plane as the crew members no longer served this plane and we need to wait at the departure hall for news, we had no idea when we could get on the plane, adding on the reason that no one could speak english, we totally had no idea what was going on. We finally got on the plane after 1 hour and instead of arriving at 9.50pm we arrvied at Salvandor at 2am.


Salvandor is more like my image of Brazil than Rio de Janeiro,. everywhere is colourful houses and there are not many tall buildings. There are more african influence in here, especially on food, they are more chilly and with a lot of spice. As usual, we have spent a lot of time on the beach, and Fat Or got so tan that I haven never seen before. Of course I always hide under an umbrella and with tons of sun blocks. :)

Got to go now for drinks.....

Before Heading to Igassu

The weather is extremely well in these 2 days despite of a cloudy forcast, thanks to that we have spent most of the time under the sun either on the beach or next to the swimming pool in the hotel.

Since the nice weather, we can see and experience in Rio de Janeiro at its maximum , one thing I have noticed something interesting is, everything I went I can smell BBQ meat. As a BBQ extermist like me, I am totally defeated by the smell and already have a few good BBQ meals. Yummm.....I think we are going to have some more (street BBQ that I just discovered) on the way back to the hotel after this update.

Tomorrow we are heading to Igassu (not sure how exactly it spells as I saw so many different versions) to see the falls, a long flight to get there.

Better go, Fay Org is looking as the watch and reminding me that we need to go before 1 hour time limit for the internet access. Afterall, things are quite experience here. Haa..haa...

Quick Hello From Brazil

Hello, today is the fourth day that we are in Roi de Janeiro, the last 3 days were raining days andfinally is a sunny day today. We are going to stay another 3 more days here before taking the plane to Foz de Igazu, where the biggest water fall in South America situated in.

Beaches are everywhere in Roi de Janeiro, and beach volley ball and football nets are easilyspotted on the beaches, but since the weather was bad, I have seen anyone using them though.

English (not to mention Chinese and French) is definitely not a propular language here beyond hotels, so we have been practising a lot of body language here.

Have to head off, if I can find an internet access again, I may give you a bit more update from Brazil.

出走巴西15天

還有9個小時我們便上機到巴西去，一去便會是15天呀，今次其實是我們的蜜月，幸好還是在週年紀念前渡這個蜜月。點解會選擇巴西，因為南美是我倆都想去而又從未到過的的地方，而且有肥外愛的陽光與海灘。

所以我會消失15天，待我會來後給你們看相吧。跟之前一樣，你們要掛住我呀!!
