Business in USA / 美國夢

Ambiru went for the world tea expo in Atlanta. She stayed in the hotel in the postcard. This building is the CNN center, world headquarters of the Cable News Network. Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and a city in the south. I have not been there. But from Ambiru's description and some readings like Gone with the Wind, I think it must be a very traditional city.

安蒜君又去美國啦!這次是以商人身分去喬治亞州亞特蘭大參加世界茶博。這張明信片不是一般方形的造型,而是延著建築的邊緣剪出造型的。圖片是有線電視新聞網的世界總部,沒想到掌控媒體發聲的地方是在美國的南方都市。從安蒜君的明信片和從前閱讀《飄》這部小說,我想亞特蘭大這個辦過1996年奧運的都市,應該是個很傳統的地方才是。

No Sunshine in Tibet / 無福消受的景緻

There is only one sentence in the left postcard. 'Hello. I am at Qinghai Lake, feeling cold, and it is raining.' What a good expression. Short but strong.
The second one of the Potala Palace is a complaining postcard. All postcards before from Tibet are sharing their joy, but this one is telling me the pain of plateau life. Well, the cliché is 'no pain, no gain!'

又有人去西藏玩(完?)了。這次這團走北路進去。結果在青海就先慘遭滑鐵盧,這整趟行程,天氣差到大概都沒有明信片上的秀麗風光可瞧。第一張明信片簡短有力「哈囉!我在青海湖,好冷喔!還下雨。」第二張則告訴我再遭遇強烈的文化衝擊。看來酥油是h的天敵,把他整的七暈八素。雖然h在最後為這趟行程作出了「h的歷史人文之旅...」的注解。不過看到這樣點點點的抱怨,反而有點幸災樂禍的趣味。只好再來一句老話:「不經一番寒徹骨,焉得梅花撲鼻香。」
