Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas every one ... ...
from Top of the Rock, Rockefeller building in New York!
Empire State building, green and red lights -- it's the spirit of Christmas in New York... ...

很久没有动笔啦,越忙越多想写的越没有时间写。。。大家圣诞快乐!是在纽约的洛克菲勒大厦顶上,随着落日的余晖帝国大厦的顶灯亮起绿色和红色的光芒,正是纽约圣诞的节灯。


Top of the Rock was recommended to us as to have the best view all over Manhattan and it lived up to its reputation. We didn't have a very clear view of central park but that's just because it was a hazy day. Can't beat the dusk time, purple clouds fading, lights of the city emerging here and there. You can watch people in those clear glass boxes still working and they might be watching you too. The only problem is that they don't have a bag check or cloakroom so don't go there with bags of shopping you just did in the fifth ave because you are going to have to carry it around with you all the time! It took about 15 minutes or so of queuing to get to the top so give yourself plenty of time to catch the sunset.

天边海边的落日,欲说还休的落霞
若隐若现的女神,渐起渐灭的晚灯
你在楼上看风景,看楼上风景的人在看你。

You have seen a thousand sunset by the sea
a thousand times the purple fading clounds
The green lady beckons but you couldn't see
a thousand warm orange lights emerge and they know it's dusky
You watch the people in the small boxes, busy
they are not watching you watching the city
