四川之旅-熊貓/金頂/人情（Si Chuan - Panda/Oi mei Shan/People)

昨天，我終于完成了西班牙文考試！ 我終于可以寫下我喜愛的動物- 熊貓！第一張是我和媽媽在成都熊貓基地見到的bb 熊貓,2nd就係剛出生的樣子！估o吾到可以由手掌o禁大長成平日見到的size!

Yesterday, I have finished my spanish exam and now I can write more about my favourite animal - Panda!  The first photo is of those panda cubs I saw in the Panda research center while the 2nd one is of the new born baby!  How can I imagine the baby panda with the size of palm to grow up as that huge?

一隻熊貓兩個look- play hard和孤獨的遠望。

The same panda gave us 2 very different look - playing hard and looking lonely afterwards.

峨眉山山頂-金頂上一個個的鎖代表祈福者的心願，卻使我這基督徒想起以色列的哭牆！

At top of Oi Mei Shan, we saw some locks put there to send the blessings of the budda worshipper.  I believe in Jesus but these locks made me remember the Wailing wall at Israel where the Jews put in their prayers as scrolls in the wall !

四處都是雪！

The snows covered all over on the top of Oi Mei Shan.

這是什麽？新的鞋飾？不，是為了預防雪地太滑滑倒而穿上。

What is this?  A new design of shoe decoration?  No, it is for precaution of the slipping caused by slippery snow on the ground.

此行爲了不被媽媽找到把柄埋怨，我join了旅行團（一樣平日好少做的事），anyway，都幾開心。我們因爲之前都去過西藏人家家訪,quite comercial，所以不去；又不去聽他們推介的歌舞表演，但個local  guide都無口黑面黑對住我地，仲成日好主動同我和媽媽拍照！尤其是地震後生意不景，收入遞減下，可以如此專業，我欣賞！

我在團友們去曬家訪時，陪媽媽作足浴，價格為￥135/60分鍾，酒店當然貴d，但ok 啊！個服務員好似好忙，原來她要身兼reception/按摩員/大打習！同她閒談，我說香港不好住，污染好多，如果退休就要來九寨。她提議我用專才身分去四川，我就覺得中國人才多的是。她給我的回答卻是她覺得中國人很笨，尤其是四川人！我有點意外，看見她不快的表情(可能工作得好辛苦），我就打完場道：其實好多中國人很醒，不過也在乎機會。我想，人生有時就是我看你好，你看我好，最重要的是能知足常樂。你話係吾係？

I have done something extraordinary this time - join the tour organised by travel agencies- to avoid being complained by mum for any arrangements!!!! Anyway, we are quite happy during the trip.  We have not participated any additional arrangements like visiting the Tibetan families and singing performance because we think these are quite comercial from our previous experience.  This surely will impact the income of the local guide but she never gave us a cold shoulder.  She always offered to help us taking photos with friendliness .  I really appreciated her professional attitude with the sharp decrease of income after the severe earthquake last year. 

During the night when most of the other tour mates have gone visiting the tibetan families, I accompanied mum to do the foot massage, which costs $135/hour.  The receptionist is actually also providing the massage service and arranging all administration work.  I told her that HK is very polluted and is not a good place to live after retiring, thus, I should come to Jiu Zhai Gou then.  She suggested me to come as the professional while I think there are already quite a lot of professionals in China.  But her answer is that many Chinese are stupid, especially the Si Chuan people.  I am surprised!!!! Aware of her sadness which may be caused by the heavy work there, I tried to comfort her by saying that most chinese are very clever, but depends on their chances to develop.  I think, sometimes we are just like this, always regret at what we dont have and admire others' living.  But most important is that we should be contented with what we already have.   Agree?
