Icy Chill #2 – 冰天雪地

I just found out that my dear cousin Alice and her husband James are stuck in the freezing UK and can’t fly away to the sun (they have tickets for the next Ashes cricket test match in Australia)! When I heard that a lot of flights from the UK had been delayed I didn’t think at all that they would affect anyone I knew…the only thing I could think of was snow! Snow! SNOW!

我刚刚发现我亲爱的表妹Alice和她的丈夫James被困在了冰冷的英国，不能飞向阳光（他们已经拿到了下一届Ashes澳大利亚板球赛的门票）！当我听说很多英国航班延误的时候，我根本没想到会影响到我认识的人…我唯一能想到的是下雪！下雪！下雪！

It is the British way to wish for a white Christmas, and then complain when it happens. I would never wish for a cold Christmas, because I know what can happen…you wake up in your cold bed…you can see your own breath in the air…you put on your cold slippers…walk to your cold bathroom…

希望有一个白色圣诞是英国人的传统，然后真的发生的时候又开始抱怨。我可不希望有一个寒冷的圣诞节，因为我知道会发生什么…你在冰冷的床上醒来…看见自己呼吸冒出的热气…穿上冰冷的拖鞋…走进冰冷的浴室…

…give me sun every time!

…我要太阳！

Snow my God! – 雪！

As my lovely girlfriend is often reminding me, my Dad (probably 70 years older than me and 1/4 as wise) is a MUCH better photographer than me.

因为我可爱的女朋友总是提醒我，我的爸爸（可能比我大70岁可是只有我1/4的智慧）拍照比我好。

With that in mind, here’s some photos of the crazy landscape at my old house in England today!

因为这样，有了这些今天在英国的我的老房子的风景照！

I hope they’re wearing their wooly underwear!

我希望他们都穿着羊毛内衣！

Funnies – 小玩意

R U Chinese? – 你是中国人吗？

When I went to Hong Kong this summer, I bought my ticket through Ctrip (Chinese version). I only found out recently that the Chinese and English language versions were not 100% the same – and the ‘local’ version offers some really good deals that you don’t seem to be ablr to buy on the English. FOREIGNER DISCRIMINATION! I’m upset…

今年夏天我去香港的时候，我在携程网（中文版）上买的票。我才发现原来中文和英文版本不是100％一样的 – ‘本地’版提供了一些非常核算的产品，可是你在英语版上是买不到的。西人歧视！我很不高兴…

So anyway I bought a ‘package deal’ on the site, which means flights, hotel, mobile sim card, subway card, airport transfer etc are all included in the price, which in this case was something like 2800rmb (2 nights).

不管怎样后来我在网站上买了一个套餐，包括机票，酒店，移动SIM卡，地铁卡，机场接送等都包含在里面了，这样一套大概在2800元（2晚）这样。

I chose the cheapest hotel from the choices I was given, and I got very lucky, because it was fantastic! (It was called L’Hotel Nina).

我选了套餐里面最便宜的一个酒店，我觉得我非常幸运，因为它太棒了！ （它叫如心海景酒店）。

Huge windows! Great view!

大玻璃窗，视野很好！

The only downside was that they didn’t seem extremely organized in the morning when people were arriving (the rooms weren’t emptied yet, so people had to wait). I didn’t mind too much, because I just went to a coffee shop.

唯一的缺点是，他们早上的运作不是特别好，人们到酒店时（房间都还没有清空，所以人们不得不等待）。我不太介意这个，因为我可以去喝杯咖啡。

I could have gone to a restaurant inside the hotel, but it seemed to be aimed at mainlanders…

我可以去酒店内的餐厅，不过似乎它也是针对国内人士的…

Question: R U CHINESE?

题为：你是中国人吗？

More FOREIGNER DISCRIMINATION!

又是西人歧视！

Amazing New Brand – 惊人的新品牌

This new supermarket chain could become the biggest brand name in China – or even the world!

这个连锁超市的牌子可能成为中国最大的品牌——甚至是全球性的！

I’m not 100% sure whether this is an official endorsement, but it definitely looks like a shop you can trust!

不敢打包票这是不是通过了官方支持，可是这个商店看上去值得信赖！

HK Girls – 香港女孩

As soon as I stepped off the plane in Hong Kong this summer, I realised why everyone always talks about HK girls and their fashion sense…

今年夏天我一到香港下了飞机，就明白了为什么大家总爱谈论香港女孩子和她们的时尚品味了……

…they really are ahead of their time!

……他们非常具有超前意识！
