20 October If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some flower's in your hair, you gonna meet some gentle people there...People in motion.... 对这首四十年前席卷欧美所优排行榜榜首的著名单曲,我们中国人也不陌生,应该是拜《阿甘正传》所赐。据说这首歌让数以百万的的向往民主自由的欧洲青年,不远万里来到三番,顶礼膜拜。其实对于我们来说,这座城市远比这首单曲历史悠久,我们的祖先早在百年前,就把这里当作血泪美国梦的起点,还亲切地给它一个与众不同的名字——旧金山。 作为一个炎黄子孙,我对于祖先足迹似乎不够虔诚,以至于直到来到美国三年后的一个周日,才在不经意间来到这座承载着无数旅美华人辛酸往事的城市。 而召唤我们的,确是和华人毫无干系的蓝色精灵 (Pics Courtesy of Peng Jin) 和大多数美丽的海港城市一样,这里有湛蓝的海港,碧蓝的天空,温润的空气,和悠闲的游客。可是,这里还有嘴原汁原味的港市海鲜,粤式早茶,以及随处可闻的乡音。也许还真的可以买到一张旧船漂,回到故乡,其中穿过夕阳下的金门大桥,仰望巨幅的标语,写自我们的同胞“One world one dream: Free Tibet” 每次实习都会和有线新闻结下不解之缘,上次是因为它是除bbc外唯一的英文频道,这次是因为健生房里的电视居然被锁定频道。比起在德国听到的没完没了的火炬传递,Bear Stern, 索马里海盗,津巴布韦独裁和儿童自闭症,现在的新闻更加单调,除了华尔街的Melt Down, 就是美国版的政治超女在炒作08年的白宫候选人。好在美国人的民主在我们看来还有些新鲜,而那些所谓的最Political的新闻也不时插科打诨,转载一些Saturday Night Live 的恶搞节目。 其中最有趣的莫过于这两位女士惊人的相似。 差点忘了正事,这篇Blog的目的是为了发文Endorse 奥巴马, 虽然由于技术原因没办法亲自投票,但是美国需要这样的总统,因为世界还需要美国。 中国不需要奥巴马也不需要麦肯恩,中国需要这个Serious Funny man 01 October CC from Marrk' spaceYou Might Be An Engineer If...
