中国的古代建筑服务于帝王，其规模同建筑之速度完全不成比例，其结果就是大量的砖木结构建筑，很难保存长久。很少有如此由石料砌成的，因为牠是皇家档案馆。
不得不说的话：我们有延续2847年多没有间断的历史记录。每个华人都该为此骄傲，先辈的血液也流淌在我们身上。

The ancient Chinese architecture is for the Emperor, that the building speed is amazing fast compared to the size. As a result, wood is mainly used and the buildings are hard to resist the time. This building made by stone, is different because it stores archives.
It must be said, we have a consecutive, systematic record of history for more than 2 847 years. Every Chinese should be proud of this, and, to know that's a part of us.

Custom of Coffee 咖啡的习惯

(Er …not in focus …)

不加糖也不加奶？那已不是享受，是吸毒——不如来针咖啡因。

Without sugar or milk? That's not Coffee, that's drug. Better to give a shoot of caffeine.

Max is good

从菜肴和名字同样后现代的『per il Gelato』回来，惊闻Max勇夺『优秀学生』称号，庆祝下……

Backing from the restaurant per il Gelato with bland foods, we've found that Max has got a Good Student title surprisly …well done!

力量之源泉。

The source of power stands.

人民大会堂东门外广场, 3/2/2007

部落格许久没有更新。原因是遇到各种事情，包括那堵伟大的墙——时至今日，也没有组织宣称对此负责。

Blog's update has been delayed for quite a long time. Reasons are various, including that Great Wall around, the none is claimed to be responsible for.

建筑，城市的元素。
这个……是典型的高档四合院。这个东南开的正门，规格为广亮门，标志着主人的身份地位。

Buildings, elements of the city.
This is …a typical premium Quadrate Yard. The main gate here, which is opened at SE corner of the yard, showed the master's status by its style.

棋盘。世界上也没有多少城市如此规划，自然也没有多少人会在指方向的时候说『东』『南』『西』『北』。这个只为效果不为功能的城市规划，真的很美。

Chess board. Few cities are planned like this. As a result, few people telling the way by NSEW. An urban plan for effects, not functions. A beautiful artwork.

在城市的另一侧，金融街也对称地覆盖掉了熟悉的胡同。

By the other side of the city, the Financial Street, new buildings are taking the position of familiar Hutongs.

东单头条和二条？早已被拔地而起的东方新天地覆盖，成为历史。这也是北京饭店近百年一直在做的。『北京的发展像是摊大饼』……大家都在横向发展。

The Oriental Plaza has erased two streets from the map years ago. Like what Beijing Hotel are doing since nearly hundred years ago till now. Nearly everything is growing fatter…

Daisy asked me whether Beijing has changed a lot or not. What I can do is trying to answer like this, as a birthday present for you.

Duo Yi 朵颐

舍尔灵龟观我朵颐……

吃饭是一件很重要的事。吃得多是件很好的事，廉颇老矣尚善饭。只是不知我们还能善饭多久……

Eating is an important thing. Eating like a horse is a good thing, but how long can we do so…
