落日 Sunset Hiking

Sunday, 6. July 2008, 07:24:56

夏天了，落日很晚，傍晚有足够的时间去爬山锻炼，8公里, 不算长，当然不是大山，不过还是有一定高度的，小坡160 米高，山顶900米。爬到高处能看见城市和落日，就像这样，傻瓜作品。这样的落日算不上美丽，但在城市里能每天看到也很知足了，到秋天时会更好看, 因为有云彩...

Sunset in evening hike

The Sun sets quite late in summer time, so I could take an 8 km (160 m high) hike easily in a nearby park in the evening time. The park has many trails, total about 40 km length, the highest point is about 900 m from which one can see a big portion of the city.

I have hiked every trails of the park, met different animals and trees, got to the highest point a number of times. I love to hike in a rainy day because the grass and trees would be greener and there would be fewer people around. I have to say it's a very nice park although I got a bit bored of it by now because it gets too familiar. So I am dreaming, dreaming to go to a national park hiking and camping in a real mountain or forest or go to see an ocean... it's summer time!

Thank you Attila for your NICE comment.

It's great you are back, I am going to read your trip to Sicily soon.

By Aprilsnow, # 10. July 2008, 07:58:07

8公里并不长，不到两小时就能走完，不信你试试看。我走过比这长很多的...

By Aprilsnow, # 10. July 2008, 07:58:55

Slava, you forgot I don't understand Russian language, you have to speak Chinese!

By Aprilsnow, # 10. July 2008, 08:01:19

Thank you, Aprilsnow. It's so good to be back, and there will be so much to tell about Sicily!

By attilasoul, # 10. July 2008, 08:11:39

By delfin_blog, # 15. July 2008, 14:38:29

By Slava54, # 16. July 2008, 19:23:10

我很喜欢这张相片，也喜欢你的小故事，很好看的。

By galanga, # 16. July 2008, 22:24:25

Very nice to see you here Lihn, me too not visiting you for a while, in fact I am not blogging as much as before, but I always remember you，just keep in touch... Thanks for liking the little picture, I did enjoy every minute outdoors, wish you a beautiful summer too.

By Aprilsnow, # 22. July 2008, 07:15:08

小海豚, 那"山"没名, it's a hill, 山顶有块大石头, 所以大家就叫它石头山了。注意身体，要好好锻炼哟。

By Aprilsnow, # 22. July 2008, 07:18:01

Slava, you wrote me in Russian (look at the 2nd comment you made above) which I don't know a thing, then why not me ask you to write in Chinese?

Of cousre, I can help you with Chinese...

By Aprilsnow, # 22. July 2008, 07:20:56

谢谢 Galanga, 你的中文越来越好了，加油！

question: 你的名字为什么叫Galanga, 是一种姜??

By Aprilsnow, # 22. July 2008, 07:25:02

老了腿骨使不动了…

By bgchan, # 22. July 2008, 14:06:04

In that post I have told only thanks. But your blog after this seems more international.

对！galanga是我的WWW的名字因为。。。我很喜欢吃thaï国用galanga的汤/菜

比如 :这种汤叫Tom Ka Kai or Tom Kha gai.

我二十八岁的时候吃第一次跟Galanga的菜（是鸡的Curry）. This was a revelation. I realized that day that there are things in this world that I would appreciate at a point I can't imagine before, but I even didn't know them yet.
"galanga" is the symbol of my thirst of knowledge of unknown (for me) parts of the world.

P.S. : 你对我是太宽容的，我用中文只会写不太难的句子，我就用英文写这些局子。

By galanga, # 22. July 2008, 23:25:13

Oh I see...what a name. Haha

By delfin_blog, # 2. August 2008, 06:19:12

though lazy reading. but . love sun set

By mastertran, # 2. August 2008, 09:35:29

@小熊：小熊说的像真的一样！腿骨使不动了，我让小海豚来抬你吧...

@Delfin: 你能抬一抬小熊吗？

By Aprilsnow, # 4. August 2008, 05:38:27

Slava, Спасибки!!! = thanks? I guess you meant sometimes I wrote my posts in Chinese. You don't need to understand the Chinese part because those are for my Chinese friends, only English part is for funny Slava...

By Aprilsnow, # 4. August 2008, 05:41:53

Haha, that's a very good reason to become galanga!

it is also a Chinese medicine, good for people who have a "cold stomach" problem. I guess you probably cook Thai food now to compensate "your lost 28 years", please let us know if you have simple good recipe, I like Thai food too. Yummy!

P.S. 我没有客气，你的中文的确不错。如果碰到难的句子，你可以试着用几个简单的句子表达就好了。

Hi mastertran, welcome to our Sunset conversations.

By Aprilsnow, # 4. August 2008, 06:06:40

ys ..... so glad

but .... can u all u English ?

can't read any other languages except VNese and English

By mastertran, # 4. August 2008, 09:44:42

Aprilsnow> I don't have recipies on the web, but here is my favorite website about spice : http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Alpi_gal.html
Please have a look at the small button "View the names of this plant in 49 languages" on the right, I really like to see all those names.
There are a few links to receipes in the page, like the Thom Ka Kai (seems to be a good receipe).

I also really like Korean (Hmmmm : Japche Bap, Kimchi, Bulgogi...

) and Indonesian/Malaysian cooking (再-Hmmm : nasi goreng, rendang...

).

”用几个简单的句子“是很好的忠告，我经常想写的句子太长。也许是因为我用法文的句子常常长 (chang chang chang => 一定是不好的句子，可是我喜欢他的“乐音”。。。)

By galanga, # 4. August 2008, 22:53:23

@mastertran: Sorry I can't nake everyone speak English because some of my friends are not from English speaking countries and I need to practice Chinese too. However, I can promise to speak English with you.

By Aprilsnow, # 23. September 2008, 06:58:32

常常长 would make us Chinese smile or laugh, for sure.

We say 常常比较长， this way it makes the speaking with some variations.

It's funny you got yourself so much into this plant. Why didn't you choose 紅豆蔻 as your Chinese name? That would be fun!

I actually have a Thai cook book it's just that I haven't tried it, lazy. I am not a fan of the stinky Kimchi and Korean stuff in general but I do like Malay food as well as Indian food.

By Aprilsnow, # 23. September 2008, 07:13:21

thank u host

he he .... Olympic ... in china D days

how r u ?

By mastertran, # 25. September 2008, 13:12:29

常常比较长

I write it down. Scritch, scriitch scritch. Done ! 谢谢！

For 紅豆蔻 : it's strange, this one is translated in "red cardamom" by google and yahoo...
If you don't mind, why did you choose this one instead of 高良薑 ? at dict.cn there's also 高良姜...
Are those two ones ridiculous ? and 紅豆蔻, is it "fun" in a positive or negative sense ?
I'm afraid that if I choose one of those names, chinese will laught and find it ridiculous...
