Last day in April

Dumpling party again with Taiwanese girls! Yes, everybody like dumpling, if you are interested in food. Happy thing was we made together, ate together! Oh, made coke cola chicken as well. As you girls said all were awesome! Talked a lot about Love, spent 8 hours at party! I could not believe that as if just a moment. How fun the day!

Yesterday, with other friends went out for Thailand food, Famous restaurant in Manchester "TRY TAI". I like spicy food so much, I was happy to find my favorite restaurant in Manchester, can not wait to visit again. After lunch went to department store"House of Fraser", lots of spring & summer items were displayed, really want a piece. Pretty cute tableware and cups let me don't want to leave. Break time was good too in the fruits shop.
Today, outside is another nice day, what should I do now?

As a traveler

Do you know where is here (in photos)?

Look like very beautiful place... 

Yes! Here is Manchester where I have been living for 8 months. 

Now is wonderful spring, all the trees are coming bloom, 

Manchester as if changed to another city which is my ideal one. 

Most of my friends know that I do not like Manchester. 

I am not denying this, When I came here, it was just turning into autumn, 

became colder and colder, almost raining everyday, not clean as I thought... 

all the things made me miss Japan more.

Then after I have traveled to other cities of UK and Italy, 

I felt more and more dislike Manchester, I can say lots of bad things about here, 

nothing impress me, really, nothing!

BUT! When I brought the air ticket to leave Manchester, 

When I knew I only have nearly two months remaining, 

I realized I should enjoy this city more than before, 

try to find happy thing is more important than anything else. 

I don't know whether to be sad or happy, 

but one thing I realized is a traveler is different with a liver. 

Traveler is good at find happy thing to see in new place, 

but liver tends to find bad thing to see in the same place.

All the photos of Manchester were taken by me as a traveler in pretty spring ! 

I guess I will like Manchester soon.

Wednesday

Every thing made me like Manchester more than before, even at home today. Mood can change life...

Nice day

Another busy day.
Went to embassy then took a rest in cafe, then went shopping and visited gallery, then had dim sum for lunch. Back home read novel and did some drawing, then made zajianmian for dinner and played badminton.
Now? Will watch film with husband.

John Rylands Library

This building is a library, belongs to University of Manchester.

So it called John Rylands University Library of Manchester.

This library was my first visit in Manchester, about 8 months ago. 

Today I was studying in this library whole day.

Fantastic feeling which made me calm and relax.

The front face of the library, pretty and grand outside, seems like a church.

Spring came

In a raining day, took a walk with husband to All Saints Garden. Saw beautiful trees, only they blossom in the whole garden. I couldn't recognize whether they were Sakura or not. I am sorry to say that I did not carefully examine shape of Sakura when I was in Japan. They look like fading Sakura, make me missing Japan more...

When I saw the trees I thought I was enjoying Hanami in Japan, but the England style building behind the trees tell me I am in England now, already here for 8 months.

Another little thing, bought fresh apple at TESCO,

Juicy and crispy very delicious!!! haha----

 

After two months in Manchester

Cherish every day, every moment.  : )

My latest tea time with dear friends

ITALY

Some friends asked me why didn't you update blog for long time? Are you sick again?...I am so sorry for this, because of my laziness to clean up the thousands of photos after back from trip. I am going to update blog everyday from tomorrow. Yes! even a little thing, like drawing or food or party.

Came back from Italy 20days ago. It was my first time went to other Europe country except UK. I thought Italy may similar with England, but actually quite different, history is longer, weather is better, FOOD is more delicious than... Traveled around Rome--Vaticano--Pisa--Firenze--Venezia with perfect weather, wonderful places and food. I think you can find some reason to visit Italy through these photos.
I am sure Italy is worth traveling.

想一想

2003年4月1日。

一个人第一次离开中国留学到日本的东京，离沈阳的家3个小时的机程。深深地记得到了日语学校后天空下着细雨，还夹着清香的樱花味道。。。

时隔整十年。

2013年4月1日。

和老公渡春假来到了意大利的罗马，离曼城的家3个小时的机程。飞机降落后的罗马一片晴朗，舒适的暖风让你享受到无话可说。。。

如果把2003年4月1日作为起点，2013年4月1日作为暂时的终点来做个人生十年纪录的话。我真的很幸运在这十年里可以体验到不同国家的风情和生活，每个景点每个家都像是精美的影片剪接，自己在体会着影片的意义，然后编织着更精彩的片断。。。简直就是“自导自演”的完美诠释。

结束几天前的意大利之旅后更是感慨万千，最期待的是十年后的2023年4月1日，我会在哪里做什么，又会带着怎样的心情去记录之后的人生十年。也许这就是人生的乐趣所在，时针纪录的只是重复的数字，光阴纪录的是永远追不回的你想念的一切。。。

所以，就随性的由着命运牵引吧。

幸好，开了花，结了果，风风火火，世界是用来生活的。
