coffee and alcohol “没”酒咖啡

Posted on March 26, 2012 by admin

（English Text below Chinese) 回来后，除了想念地球另一边的朋友们，还想念不昂贵却美好的酒和咖啡。倒不是在中国没有好酒好咖啡，而是他们基本成了新贵炫耀身份的小奢侈品，我一小文人消费不起。月初在纽约，进地铁站时看见一只咖啡杯立在铁门上，出地铁站时看见艳蓝的黄昏天色里一酒店（liquor store，名副其实的卖酒的店，不是hotel）的招牌。似乎很讽刺啊。 Kind of funny （or ironic)  that I saw a coffee cup when I entered the metro in New york, then a liquor store as I got out, because affordable good coffee and good wine … Continue reading →

(English text below Chinese) 今日从纽约回到华盛顿。在华盛顿“中国城”的星巴克和地铁站看到不少藏族佛教喇嘛。这几天他们在向一个伟人学习和平。他们面目友善，有几个还和我聊天。我告诉他们我是汉族人，喜欢、尊敬西藏和西藏文化，曾四次进藏。他们冲我笑。那笑，和我记忆中藏族人的笑是一样的……图二是在地铁里往外拍的。 I came across a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks at DC Chinatown’s Starbuck, then at the Metro station.
