Dec 3, 2009 - Days before my trip @ PEK

[4 Nov/09] 我的旅程进入了1个月的倒计时，可对于这次旅行的准备工作却刚刚开始。 周日去图书大厦，想买几本关于印度文化和宗教的书，最后只收获了两本旅行指南类，一本游记类，一本跨文化研究类的书籍。看来要在我出发前恶补目的地的常识，只有求助万能的wiki了。 那天正巧北京百年不遇的下了那么早的一场大雪，穿着秋装的我抱着一摞书走在街上，手已经冻得没有知觉，于是乎跑步取暖。 十几年前，一个雨天，我背着70L的大包结束了一次旅行，手里也是捧着一摞书，是旅途中买的图册。那应该是我刚开始做驴友的年月，满中国的转悠，囊中羞涩的我整天为要不要参观买门票的景点而思想斗争，同样斗争的还有要不要买那种厚的可以当板儿砖防身的风景画册。恰巧那次旅程——也许是我budget control的比较成功，抑或是碰到了什么打折促销——我居然买了3本画册。担心画册在背包里压坏了挤烂了浸湿了晤中暑了，我愣是一路抱着他们回了北京。北京的老天爷似乎也要考验我的虔诚，好死不死的下雨裹乱，我只能一手撑伞，一手配合着胳肢窝抱着三本请来的神仙。一路有惊无险的坚持到家门口，一个踉跄，手里的书们四散飞去，仰面躺在了一滩滩积水中。 同样的地方，盛夏换成了初冬，雨天换成了雪天，白天换成了傍晚。正当我忙着与北京第一股寒潮做斗争的时候，突然脚下地面的摩擦系数清0，我的双脚一起向前方水平面45度方向运动，接着就是收腹挺腰，0.[4 Nov/09] 我的旅程进入了1个月的倒计时，可对于这次旅行的准备工作却刚刚开始。 周日去图书大厦，想买几本关于印度文化和宗教的书，最后只收获了两本旅行指南类，一本游记类，一本跨文化研究类的书籍。看来要在我出发前恶补目的地的常识，只有求助万能的wiki了。 那天正巧北京百年不遇的下了那么早的一场大雪，穿着秋装的我抱着一摞书走在街上，手已经冻得没有知觉，于是乎跑步取暖。 十几年前，一个雨天，我背着70L的大包结束了一次旅行，手里也是捧着一摞书，是旅途中买的图册。那应该是我刚开始做驴友的年月，满中国的转悠，囊中羞涩的我整天为要不要参观买门票的景点而思想斗争，同样斗争的还有要不要买那种厚的可以当板儿砖防身的风景画册。恰巧那次旅程——也许是我budget control的比较成功，抑或是碰到了什么打折促销——我居然买了3本画册。担心画册在背包里压坏了挤烂了浸湿了晤中暑了，我愣是一路抱着他们回了北京。北京的老天爷似乎也要考验我的虔诚，好死不死的下雨裹乱，我只能一手撑伞，一手配合着胳肢窝抱着三本请来的神仙。一路有惊无险的坚持到家门口，一个踉跄，手里的书们四散飞去，仰面躺在了一滩滩积水中。 同样的地方，盛夏换成了初冬，雨天换成了雪天，白天换成了傍晚。正当我忙着与北京第一股寒潮做斗争的时候，突然脚下地面的摩擦系数清0，我的双脚一起向前方水平面45度方向运动，接着就是收腹挺腰，0....
