i suggested in one of my linkedin updates that, for all the troubles we've gone through, each every shanghai resident should get a free pass to expo 2010. the wish comes true, sort of. shanghai city government is sending out free expo gift pack to each shanghai household. we receive it this weekend. it includes one expo pass (cny160), one public transport ic card (with cny200 value), and a haibao pin. it's smart move, qualified household is family based on hukou card or shanghai residence permit, and single is not included.

in one of gladwell's bestselling books " tipping point ", the author mentioned some very interesting observations, and he concluded by "we like to use words like contagiousness and infectiousness just to apply to the medical realm. but i assure you that after you read about what happened in micronesia you'll be convinced that behavior can be transmitted from one person to another as easily as the flu or the measles can." look no further, it is happening in china recently on a series of primary school and kindergarten killing cases. one and another anti-social middle-aged male physco was awaken by the news, and took the similar path to the hell.

阅江楼 建于2001年，号称位列江南四大名楼，当然单凭楼阁的始建年代，是有点勉强。整个楼阁可登六层，宏伟雄壮，顶层可以凭阑远眺，南京长江大桥，长江尽收眼底。因为年代新，还有从山下直达楼阁的电梯。本来是个很好的建筑，可惜可惜，里面被一巨幅公厕水平的郑和下西洋瓷画给彻底废了。搞得老同志也不知道说什么好，只好写下到此一游做为纪念。 2001年的时候，大概已经是人心浮躁的时期，景区周围有一通碑廊，竟然不是刻的，而是黑底白粉画的! 不仅是画的，而且画得很差！急功近利的下场，只有快速的被淘汰。

Gate of Xuanwu ( Black Tortoise) Tower of Medicine Buddha Jiming Temple Ancient City Wall of Nanjing, and Xuanwu Lake lost words to describe, simple astonishing and amazing.

什么是历史，这就是历史，一个总统府，几朝荣与衰。有意思的是，有些古老的词语会不期然的焕发它的生命力，天朝现在在网络上也是常用词了。

照片里的人和我没关系，只是个对葬字有很大兴趣的游人甲。 中山陵是国父孙中山安葬的地方，天下为公，四个大字，到今天依然震耳发聩。说的容易做起来难，孙中山一手创建的中华民国区区不到五十年就改朝换代。 话说五一那天，一位退而不休的老同志，尤其喜欢在各种场合露面的大人物，临幸中山陵。你说你天天都是星期天，偏偏要选在五一，跑到中山陵消暑。这可苦了烈日炎炎下的小民，到处交通管制，憋在路上不得动弹。相信有不少人心里已经恶毒的诅咒过了。

五一本来只是另一个普通的long weekend, 今年借世博的福，上海市民享受了五天的假期。大家也都普遍相应了政府的号召，纷纷出游，把上海和世博的头几天留给全世界人民。我也匆匆忙忙得买了去南京的动车车票。 酷暑也随着五一假期一起到来了。放假前还是早春寒的天气，五一假期全国温度陡升十几度。南京的旅游，在30几度的高温下开始了。 南京不愧是古都，不经意路边就冒出一幢民国时期的老楼。有些道路应该也是民国时期就形成的，蜿蜒曲折，两边梧桐树像大伞一样给大家遮住烈日。整个城市和无锡的悠闲恬静不同，倒是更像上海，喧嚣而忙碌。破旧不堪的出租车，密布的红绿灯，让大家的生活在走走停停中躁动了起来。
