Hong Kong trip
这次去香港visit，看到几句令人发省的话，比较赤裸裸，但是很有道理，代表了完全不同的理念，分享给大家。
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to buy.
Budget can only tell you which you can't afford, but can't keep you from buying it.
这两句话是写在新建的IFC(International Convention Center)的墙壁上的，直接刺激人们的购买欲，并且挑战传统的勤俭持家理论。回来的飞机上和Eric改了一句话：
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to enjoy the life.
我相信在同等条件下，有钱会比没钱过的幸福。古来皆然，因为：贫贱夫妻百事哀。
在香港的DYMock书店和WH Smith里兜了一圈，发现香港好的书真的很多。有很多在上海都看不到，尤其是外文书。印象里上海外文书店的书都很老的样子。有一系列谈到relationship的书，名字都不错：'Men from Mars; Women are from Venus', 'hard questions';'why men love bitches', 'If I am so wonderful, why I am still single?'. 这些书都回来思考男人和女人之间的difference，来试图build long term solid relationship.粗粗翻了一下，觉得很有道理。尤其是和周围对结婚具有恐惧症的朋友对对座，觉得满有道理的。印象中有一句话把男女之间的difference概括得特别好：
Women is hard-wired with sympathy, while man is hard-wired with building and understanding.
这句话精妙的解释了为什么我时时会觉得老公像一个包工头，天天拉着我看这个，研究那个。甚至连香港的地铁都不愿意放过，非要研究各个出口为什么那样设计。而男人在一起的话题，也总是那个挺有趣，怎么做的。
等晚上有空的时候，再好好回忆一下这几天的行程，写篇游记。

I really enjoying reading your blog. Unlike your husband's, you present a female's perspective of life in Shanghai, e.g. shopping, decorating, etc. I am wondering if you can share some pictures of the hot fashion shopping destinations in Shanghai or shoes or ear rings you bought, etc. As we all know, girls are crazy about things like that.

You probably are too young to imagine life at age 30. I bet when you reach 30, you will feel nothing different from today.

Wendy,真的开始相信缘分了，无意间在linkin
上看到wang jian shuo，接下来通过他的blog看到了你，看到了你们甜美生活，也找到了你们这两个校友。离开学校已两年了，虽然当时在学校从不觉得那里有什么好，而且还对于闵行的偏僻颇有意见，可如今只要一听到是那个学校出来的就感觉特别亲切，还真有点老乡见老乡两眼泪汪汪的冲动！看了你blog里的几篇文章，感觉很舒服，我想我会继续看下去的。对于blog我实在了解的不多，不知道怎样才能自己见一个blog呢？能否给我一些建议和帮助呢？

I'm 30 with a little girl who is about to walk soon. all I what is that my husband come home early and spend the evening with us. I think when you are 30 you wish you were 26, still young, go shopping, go to the cinema or just chatting with freinds just like what you are doing now.

有过30岁的体验，所以，可以告诉你的，是你的30憧憬，很难。
