Cuối Tuần Đi Carolina Beach (1)

Chắc tôi phải viết những gì tôi thèm nhiều nhiều chút, vì hai tuần trước tôi có viết đang thèm đi Hawaii và biển.  Hawaii thì không đi được, nhưng biển thì vừa mới đi về.  Đi thứ Sáu, và mới về lại khoảng 2 tiếng đồng hồ.  Tôi cũng tính đi biển cuối tháng năm hay đầu tháng sáu gì đó, nhưng trong chuyện bắt ngờ, bạn tôi gọi muốn đi cuối tuần không?  Trong vòng tiếng đồng hồ, tôi gọi người bạn thứ ba, và thế là xong – hẹn nhau ngoài biển.  Bạn tôi mướn cái condo ở Carolina Beach.  Tóm tắt một cái vèo là được đi biển!

Thong Thả Trên Phố Coimbra, Portugal

Tôi ghé thăm thành phố Coimbra, Portugal vào một buổi chiều.  Gió chiều nhẹ nhẹ.  Thành phố dường như đang trong giấc mơ chiều.  Người vẫn thong thả đi đi, về về. Không tấp nập.  Không chen lấn.  Vẫn một nhịp.  Vẫn một bước.

100 Places to Visit Before I Die 6

Giza Pyramids, Egypt (google image)

This is a series of 100 places to visit before I die.  My next place is The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.  Whenever I am thinking of Egypt, it reminds me of my professor and advisor in college.  He’s from Egypt and has wanted to take my friend and I back to his homeland to see all the wonderful things that Egypt has to offer.  But life is so unpredictable, and he left this earth to early, only in his 30’s.  That’s life, and life ain’t fair!

One of these days, I will visit his homeland and reminisce the time when he talked about Egypt and its wonderful place.

New York City, Autumn 2011 2

I love NYC for everything it has to offer and for the the unique experiences that I was able to see, but I don’t know if I can live in this city.  Sometimes it’s just too much, from the people to the traffic, from the noise to the urban life, and everyone seems busy and hectic.  There is no slow down or lay back in this city.  Everyone is on the move and on the run to be somewhere or to do something.  It’s one of the quality of this city yet also a down point.  I don’t mind visiting NYC every year to see and to experience what the city has to offer but I don’t think I can live here.

New York City, Autumn 2011

I’ve been to NYC many times but never during the autumn season, where the weather is much cooler and the leaves start to turn colors.  I love NYC, and there is something about the city that makes me come back again and again.  There are things in NYC that only happen in NYC, and they are the typical everyday life in this city.  NYC is urban, street-life, and people are everywhere.  The city is 24/7, anytime there are people and there are things to do.  The city never goes sleep.  The people live here and the people visit here can be hectic and crazy yet everyone is civilized; it’s the normal for this city.  Not everyone loves NYC, but I think everyone should at least visit NYC one time in their life, to experience what the city has to offer, to see trash everywhere, and to encounter things and people that only in NYC has.
