1朋友产期将至,父母来美探亲,我们也得福吃了顿好饭~
今天意大利哥们还极力邀请我们一起去吃pizza,但还是拒绝了,结果他还给我们做了一个带来,最近的口服真是不小~
下午出门的时候还是蓝天上白云飘飘(在这里也就这个季节才能稍微见到白云了……)漂亮得像windows的桌布



晚上回家的路上就下了雨,乌云密布,远处城市的灯光印射在乌云上更衬出乌云叠浪般的起伏波涛....

your signature city is Seattle
说得我都想去了……

Sleepless in Seattle? We don't think so. You may be laidback but that doesn't mean you're lacking in energy. Someone as adventurous and active as you is the perfect pairing with a city that's filled with fresh air, beautiful waterfront, snow-capped mountains, and plenty to do.

Whether you're hiking, skiing, or biking, you lead the way to new heights and lots of fun. And what better place to reach new heights of fun than in your signature city? How about from the top of the Space Needle or Mt. Rainier? You can quench your need for speed in the Great Outdoors, check out a jazz club or a museum, and wash it all down with a fresh cup of java at one of the city's countless cafés — all in one day. Now that's something we can all toast to!

you're a Gourmet Traveler


Sure the sights are important. The people? Fascinating. But when you head off to exotic lands, it's the delicacies you're usually most excited to encounter. You know that one of the best ways to get to know a new locale is to live — and eat — like the locals.

Food, after all, can be a history lesson in itself — what the land offers and what the people have done with it. That's why your travels often follow your taste buds. Whether it's served in a five-star restaurant or from a street vendor, your adventure begins when you taste a local specialty. Take a big bite!



What's Your Comfort Cocktail?

you're a Comfort Colada


Being with you is like taking a vacation. When it comes right down to it, you're good-hearted, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. Chances are you're the first call people make when they need someone to cheer them up or when they want someone to celebrate with. You're supportive, encouraging, and know how to have a good time.

Since you're a laid-back and sensitive person, you really take the time to fully enjoy all of life's little gifts. You probably thrive when you're surrounded by the things you love most — whether it's friends and family or a cause you are passionate about. There's a richness about you that people just can't ignore. And what better way to complement your compassionate, relaxed spirit than with a cocktail that has the same deep and smooth take on life?

your puppy's a Comedian

Your puppy's a people-pleaser whether he means to slide across the linoleum floor into his water dish or not. His animated antics might have been accidental at first, but it wouldn't surprise us if he does things on purpose now, just to hear you laugh. He just loves to keep you happy, and if playing the funny man works, then he'll do what he can to lighten the mood around your home.

He may not be the quickest to pick up on commands — but he's so full of personality, you might not be able to tell if that's just part of his shtick. It's the way he goes after things whole-heartedly that's so endearing — especially when he leaps before he looks. Some may call him clumsy, others may call him eager. But at the heart of it all is a truly funny friend with a good heart, and an even better sense of humor. They say that laughter makes the world go around. And with your furry friend, you're headed for an especially special trip.

What's Your Flavor?
Mmm ... mocha! Strong and rich — but not too sweet — you're the flavor of late nights and early mornings. A coffeehouse regular, you've cornered the market on deep thoughts and probably have a little more than your fair share of brains. In fact, those who know you may even consider you an intellectual, a label that suits you just fine. Deep and thoughtful, you love the academic life — or at least the structured pursuit of knowledge. And, since hitting the books often means all-nighters, what better flavor than mocha to keep you company? Chocolaty and intense, you're a truly tasty treat.

the right design for you shows off your Worldly Views
继续汗,看起来像杂烩摊……
It looks like you think globally even if you live locally. Whether you're a world wanderer collecting passport stamps or an armchair traveler flipping through travel guides, you've got an eye on the world beyond your zip code. But while you're on your own turf, you can still feel like you're in a far-off land through your decor.

To have your habitat embody your international interests, look to imported items and other touches with foreign flair. Try accents like a carved elephant statue, sushi set, gypsy folding table, or paisley mirror. With your worldview leading the way, your room will look out of this world!

your family's odyssey should take you to the Beach

Odyssey LX with
convenience package
shown.
算是明白了,米国人除了beach没别的想法……不过odyssey真是好车……
You and your brood are easy-going, free spirits. What better place to celebrate that than the beach? There's something for everyone when you set out for some shoreline fun — whether basking in the sun, or bundling up for a fall trip to the strand. Who says you can only build sandcastles in the summer? The point is, between games of Frisbee, swimming, or playing tag with the waves, there's plenty to keep you occupied. Skipping rocks, tide pools, picnics, and boardwalks — what great ways to build strong memories with your family.

Get ready to leave your every day stresses behind. Outdoorsy, beachcombers like you can let the good times roll as soon as you set bare feet on the shore. So grab your sun block, your picnic basket, and a big old beach blanket. The fresh air awaits!

your fantasy island is New Zealand
嗯嗯,目标之一~~
Rugged. Adventurous. Both! When you head on vacation, your fantasy island is the wild and diverse country of New Zealand. A curious and courageous spirit, you don't need — or necessarily want — a lot of pampering when traveling. Not one to lounge on a beach chair most days, you seek out challenges (on holiday and off), especially when there's a chance to hone a new skill or test your mettle.

You tend to relax by doing — be it bungee jumping, hiking the backcountry, or hitting every museum a city has to offer. Like New Zealand's varied terrain — glaciers, beaches, cities, and mountains — you can entertain even the most rambunctious friends. For you, there's nothing better than letting go of convention and heading off toward a new, undiscovered sunset. Ramble on!

your Hawaiian Island match is Kauai
唔唔~记录下来以后去
Your curiosity and sense of adventure make you a natural explorer! That's not to say you can't enjoy a little downtime. It's just that you might prefer to enjoy that time on a secret beach, or in a little known cove, or at a quaint and cozy hideaway. You like discovering new experiences and sharing them with others — and you're not afraid to make friends along the way.

You know there's lots to learn wherever you go. So whether you're hiking a breathtaking trail along the Na Pali coast, strolling the quaint shops of Hanalei, or viewing the spectacular expanse of the Waimea Canyon, you'll never be at a loss for fun. And you'll always be on the path to a good time.

your lucky number is number Seven!
呃?
Hello, you enthusiastic thing. Well, Number 7, whether dining at the latest five-star restaurant, browsing a bazaar, or hitting the opening night of the latest hot spot, your lust for life is contagious. Like the lucky number itself, friends and strangers alike count themselves fortunate to have met you because you're a walking carnival. Whether it's a four-alarm dance party or a night out with friends, the fun cup runneth over and getteth all over everyone. Your ache for excitement can take you from the slopes of Switzerland to the coral of Cozumel (though you might pass up a free trip to either of these spots to throw darts at a map and do your own exploring). It's tough to keep up with the Enthusiast. Especially since words like "commitment" and "intimacy" are like garlic to your vampire-style of partying. You're all about diversion. Just be sure your high-test lifestyle isn't producing a smoke screen to cover deeper issues in your life. If you can keep your appetites in check and learn to contemplate life instead of consume it, your journey will be much more fulfilling. Developing discipline may be hardest for Number 7s, but the reward will be some of the best songs, plays, performances, books, and comedy routines ever produced. Want proof, you have to look no further than fellow lucky 7 stars, Madonna, Liz Taylor, and Robin Williams.

you're a Muse!
喔~~~?真的假的= =bb
Known for your creative powers, you Muses are the poets and musicians of life, the patrons of the fine arts. It's funny, though — even with your inspirational prowess, you're probably not the type to boast about your guitar-strumming skills, or your latest published book of verse.

While it's great when people flock to you for ideas, there probably is a part of you that prefers to blend in sometimes — whether dressing in muted shades or staking out a one-on-one conversation at parties and social events. But try as you might not to hog the spotlight, others can't help but notice you. Must be hard to be such a goddess!

Despite any lingering modesty, you might be surprised at how much your mere presence can help improve the lives of those around you by infusing them with ideas and good thoughts. With that kind of healing energy, your inspirational ways have the potential to change the world, Muse. Whether you're scribbling sonnets, boogying with your friends, or drawing your own constellations — you're tapped in. So keep your eyes wide open to the possibilities and let that inspiration flow!

You are a Hopeless romantic--自己汗一下

Do you swoon when a guy recites poetry to you? Go ga-ga over a bouquet of hand-picked wildflowers? Then there's no doubt about it — you're a textbook Hopeless Romantic. Chances are you love soft music, candlelight, and long walks on the beach at sunset. Crying at sappy movies (your favorite kind) is a given — a box of tissues is a must — and you've have had your wedding planned since grade school. You're looking for a deep relationship — a soulmate. Traditional and sympathetic, guys love that they can open up to you and talk to you about their feelings, their past, and their hopes for the future. How can a suitor win your heart? By romancing you. Sending you flowers, surprising you with a picnic lunch, or going for a horse-drawn carriage ride. Before you know it, you'll be creating a life-long love story.

The Relationship Satisfaction Test

Good news — it looks like you're pretty darn happy with your relationship. Sure, you might want to change a couple of things — why can't he remember your anniversary for once?! — but overall, your answers tell us you're one satisfied customer. Surprised? It's normal to have doubts about how you and your guy are doing, but it's the big picture that counts. And we can see that, overall, you two are on the road to happiness. Of course, even the best relationships need work to stay in peak condition. It takes constant effort to maintain a good level of communication, keep your goals and hopes in sync (not the boy band ...), and make sure you settle conflicts before they get out of hand. And all that labor can't be one-sided — both you and your partner need to be committed to putting serious time and energy into making your union work. That said, your odds of making it are better than most, so give yourself a big pat on the back and go give your honey a hug.

The Astrology Matchmaker
这个实在太准了,不过农药好像不是典型的水平座人涅?

Your tars are sending you straight into the arms of an AQUARIUS. As an air sign, your man is a great communicator and an independent thinker. On top of that, he's incredibly popular. You won't be able to resist his inviting personality and altruistic nature. Also ambitious and creative, he tends to be inflexible when it comes to his views. He might shy away from romantic relationships at first, but once you break through that barrier, he's yours! His sign is the water bearer, which means that he gives off a special energy that is received as a gift by others. Your ideal man is a people person, and he genuinely wants everyone to be happy. He's also a progressive intellectual with an analytical edge. So, not only will he provide interesting conversation, he'll make sure you're always smiling! In addition to possessing all of these redeeming qualities, your Aquarius is most commonly known for being the friendliest sign in the zodiac.

How to catch him:

Your Aquarian man places the intellect above physical stimulation. He needs to feel that the two of you have made a deep, meaningful connection before he'll enter a relationship. Passionate and exciting, he'll put you on a pedestal once you have had a meeting of the minds. Aquarius stands for truth, and your man will be honest to a fault. So be careful not to ask questions such as "How do I look?" and "Do these pants make me look fat?" when you're just looking for reassurance, because this man just might give you an answer you don't want to hear. But he's trustworthy and devoted (as long as you give him his space).

your beauty secret is Keeping a Positive Attitude

Do people tend to call you for pick-me-ups? Ask you for advice on everything from careers to relationships? You can bet that people rely on and trust your opinions because you can see the bright side in any situation. For you, life is all about trying to enjoy your work, play, family, and friends — and keeping a positive attitude helps you do that.

Sure, you may hit a bump in the road now and then — everyone does. But you don't invest a lot of time and energy on things that you can't control. And you make a concerted effort to learn from life's ups and downs. Now that's what health is all about. So keep it up!

your celebrity look is the Casual Look!

Forget fussy routines and beauty salons, you're all about the Casual Look. For you, a freewheeling, low-maintenance lifestyle is a simple virtue. Your sporty look comes complete with natural, feminine charm and a cute, sun-kissed glow that speaks volumes about your healthy approach to life. For you, looking good is never a chore, it just comes naturally. Your spontaneous side is always open to new adventures, so your look is always good to go. Something fun, like worn jeans and a sexy cotton tank top, is just your speed. For makeup, it's nothing too fancy—maybe some sheer gloss and light mascara to give you that last-minute pulled-together look. And like all those famously casual girls next door, Meg Ryan, Renee Zellweger, and Sandra Bullock, your relaxed look is sure to turn a few heads wherever you go.

you're a Convertible!
这不准,我可不喜欢敞篷
Ooo wee! You've got the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and anyone with two eyes wishing they could nestle into your passenger seat. You're all about top-down, Convertible fun. We're thinking '69 Mustang, '64 Corvette, or Mazda Miata, in cherry red, of course. The car for you embodies youth, freedom, and summertime excitement. You've got a wild outlook on life and are always game for a good time. Since you're comfortable being the center of attention, you zip around town looking sleek and fresh, stealing flirty glances from your rearview mirror. Being so sexy and open, you attract friends, love interests, and joy riders wherever you go. It's no surprise if some hot number pulls alongside to challenge you to a little drag down Lovers Lane. You're the classic party mobile so crank up the music and hit the open road.

your signature candle is Cyprus Rose
嗯嗯^^
A romantic like you isn't afraid to take risks, especially in the name of love. You've got a great imagination and you like putting it to good use. Lucky for your friends and family, that often means that they're on the receiving end of a sweet note or surprise gift.

Whimsical and fun like Cyprus rose, you brighten up any situation. And while your serious side won't let you believe in fairy tales, your sweet side knows there's no harm in working toward a happy ending. That's charming!

you're a Relaxed Rum Runner
唔哼~~Bacardi's rum偶还是很喜欢的^^~~~
Taking it easy — that's how you prefer to handle whatever comes your way. Like a cool, blended rum runner, you like to keep a delicate balance between the sweet and sour things in life. Calm and collected, you're up for anything your friends throw your way, from joining a book club or taking an art class to trying every cocktail in your cookbook.

Bottom line — you're a laid-back soul who likes to stay connected with her friends and have a good time. Whenever the girls join forces — whether you're gabbing over pedicures or painting the town red — people count on you to hold the group together with your carefree and irresistible sense of fun. Stay cool!

Start filling the ice cube trays - it's party time! Enter Bacardi's Instant Party Sweepstakes and you could win a Labor Day bash hosted by celebrity party planner David Tutera.

you're likely to find fame and fortune in the Creative World

Talk about ideas! You're the type of person who's always coming up with a new way to look at things — wherever you are. And more than most, you're probably able to better express them in a multitude of ways — through writing, acting, sketching, jamming, painting, dancing, sculpting, filming, arranging...you get the picture.

Because you've got so much going on upstairs, your brain is never really turned in the "off" position. Heck, your dreams are probably even more creative than others. Here's the thing: You're the type who rises to the challenge of making something out of nothing — it's a skill not everyone has. So how about it? What's your next creative contribution to the world?

Maybe you'll pen the first rap opera. Maybe you'll join a rock-climbing, performance dance troop. Or maybe you'll discover a link between Balinese Batik painters and Picasso. However you find fame and fortune, we sense you'll be getting there by tapping into that uniquely-psychedelic-inventive-original-interpretive-expressive mass of creative gray matter.

So get out there and start designing your own clothing line, or theme restaurant, or housing complex, or website, or...

your secret to success is your Balancing Skills

From your home or job to your family and social life, an active and busy person like you has a lot on your plate. But that doesn't mean that you let it get you down or get the better of you. Quite the opposite — having a packed calendar and too much to do is probably just the way you like it.

Whether you've got a million items on your to-do list or just a few big ones, you've got a knack for keeping track of things and staying on top of them. Where some might sink under an avalanche of duties, projects, and appointments, it's your time to rise to the top and show off your true talents. Way to shine!

Are You Millionaire Material?

Ever thought about buying an SUV and joining a tennis club? You should, because you were made for the elite. We can tell that you enjoy many of the finer things in life, but for some reason you just can't make the leap to "millionaire material." Sure, that's a step down from the top of the money pile, but it's probably all for the best. Why? Perhaps because, when it comes down to it, you enjoy fun more than money. Cash is all well and good, and we can tell that you're pretty good at saving your dough when you put your mind to it, but you'd rather spend time outdoors, hang out with friends, or plan your next big trip than drool over your bank balance. After all, what's money for if you can't enjoy it?

Are You a Natural Leader?

Total
Congratulations, you're a real leader! Your leadership skills are quite strong, so don't be afraid to step up to the plate when problems need solving — you'll do great. You've got a solid combination of positive leadership traits — from organizational skills to communication ability. These talents make you a great resource in the workplace, someone people can look to for guidance and direction. Still, there are a few things you might need to work on. To brush up on the different components of leadership, check out your scores below:

Organization
Order! Order! Your strong organizational skills make you an excellent candidate for success as a leader. Your talent for keeping everything in the right place means that you can concentrate on more important tasks. And once you've organized your workplace, your overall productivity increases by leaps and bounds.

Efficiency
Stop spinning your wheels and get in gear! Your efficiency could use a little help. Take some time to really analyze the work process, and learn how to get things done. Basically, you need to work on spending your time wisely — just talking about something doesn't always make it happen. You've got to persevere and focus your effort in the right places. Being more efficient is a tried-and-true way to move forward at work.


Teamwork
Not so good at playing well with others, eh? Yes, it's a dog-eat-dog world, but teamwork matters! Try to spend some time working on your team-building skills — the ability to communicate and work closely with others is essential to good leadership. In fact, it's the foundation for all your interactions with your co-workers and can set the tone at work. If you really work on improving in this area, you'll find that leadership follows naturally.

Confidence
You could use a confidence boost! To move forward at work, it's essential that you be able to take on new roles and responsibilities. When you feel sure of yourself, you can concentrate on the task at hand instead of just worrying about potential failures. Keep all your strengths in mind, and use them to your advantage.

http://web.tickle.com
很多测试,需要注册,大堆的广告可以无视
和农药玩了1个晚上做career的那部分,满有意思的~~

my superpower:

Stop the clock! Your inner superpower is TIMETRAVEL! Your answers show a keen sense of insight for all the mysteries of time. Whether you enjoy reminiscing about thepast or find yourself lost in thoughts of the future, your energies definitely point away from the present. Maybe you're mere seconds ahead or behind the rest of us, but you could also be days or even years out of sync. Your unique position in time and space gives you a wider perspective on daily events and makes you an especially wise person. You're probably a great planner. And since time is yours to play with, it's almost a given that you manage it well. If you haven't yet taken a trip through the fourth dimension, you're in for the ride of your life. Don't delay! Visit the future. Fix the past. And when you come across a very special moment, make it last as long as you like.

农药的superpower,被无视阿被无视,笑死我了:

Don't look now! Your inner superpower is INVISIBILITY! Your answers show a remarkable talent for secrecy and hidden observation slumbering someplace beneath your quiet exterior. Awaken those dormant powers, and soon you'll find yourself completely hidden from the eyes of all. Okay, it's true that invisibility can sometimes be annoying. People tend to ignore you. At restaurants it might take a while for you to be served. But don't take it personally. They don't do it out of spite. It's just that you are, after all, sometimes a little difficult to see. Don't let it get you down. In this hectic world where it seems like everybody wants a piece of your time, invisibility is your ticket to freedom. When you think about it, being invisible has all sorts of bonuses. Take, for instance, the ability to find privacy and solitude in any circumstance. Then there's the special perk of being able to sneak unnoticed through crowded rooms, easily avoiding all the annoying people you'd rather not talk to. And that's just a start — imagine strolling naked through a crowded street for laughs! You've probably wished many times that you could just disappear. Well, now you can. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, think of transparent things and prepare to be invisible.



career makeover:

you're a Cruise Director!

If it weren't for guiding lights like you, the world would be a bunch of lost souls and automatons, carrying on the daily grind without any cheer or direction. Thank goodness you're around. Your stellar interpersonal skills and compassionate ear for the troubles and life experiences of others makes you a godsend when the going gets tough. And since you're especially smooth at working with groups, your listening skills and wisdom are best when called in to sort out a conflict or lead an open discussion. Consider yourself the soul doctor to the world—it's your true work personality.

Who's like you:
Robin Williams

Likely careers:
Talk show host, HR director, news anchor, teacher, spiritual leader, socialite

农药做出来的居然是侦探,简直无法想象阿~~~

my power hour, 比较对的样子,不过这个测试好几个题无法回答,乱选的,比如什么电视演员电影明星之类的,几乎都不认识= =#
you're Sharp at Sunset

That's right, when the sun goes down, your energy and creativity go way up. This is your on time, when you're most inspired thoughts come pouring in and when you're most motivated to venture out. Are you into sports, dinner parties, or just hanging out with friends as the sun sinks out of sight? We thought so. Because that's the time of day that really empowers you and makes you feel alert.

You're especially dynamic at dinner, cocktail parties, and early evening functions, when your persistent wit and wisdom are at their finest. And after dinner, when everyone else is putting on their jackets and preparing to head home, you're the kind of person who stays alert, inquisitive, and ready for more world-changing conversation.

Being such a superstar at sunset has its drawbacks too. Right when you're coming up with your most fantastic ideas, most of the world is too tired to listen. Sure, this might leave you with a limited audience from time to time, but when you're on, you're on, and those lucky enough to be around value your enthusiasm. But even superstars hit a slump at some point in the day. That's when you need to remind yourself that there are tricks to get you through. Like grabbing an extra cup of coffee, getting some fresh air, or taking a power shower to rejuvenate you. And when that happens, there's no stopping you. Every hour can be your power hour!

农药的居然是午饭时间,无法想象呢

Sushi & Spaghetti

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
前几天下了将太的寿司来看,看的两个人口水连连,大半夜的憋不住做饭做寿司吃,我们做的寿司是最简单的那种卷寿司,蛋,黄瓜,腌萝卜,可惜冰箱没有蟹肉棒和avocado~周末住在隔壁的意大利哥们就说情我们吃寿司,还真是巧阿~
去的那家寿司店一看就是美化的,和上次卢本和我们去的一家中餐馆很类似,非常的喧闹,灯光昏暗,服务员也都是美国人(上次那家中餐馆都是辣妹啊,穿的都很凉快地说~~)。
意大利哥们吃得很欢,他把所有的米饭都丢掉了,只吃生鱼片,还说比较喜欢这家是因为鱼比较新鲜,他是常客,和老板也很熟悉的样子~不过我和农药是不打算再去了,吃的口感很一般,鱼切的太大片,太厚,一口吃不完,而且米饭也捏的太硬而且松散,价格也满贵的,一个晚上吃掉了100刀(和在日本价格差不多吧,但是味道就差多了) 在网上看到一个人的blog写的去筑地鱼市吃的一套11样的寿司,3500日元,味道绝妙,看得我们也是口水哗哗,什么时候回国一定要取道东京,玩上3天,也去吃吃看~

接下来的周日,还是意大利哥们请客,不过这次换在家里做意面。原来以为就是意面而已,可是这哥们还是挺讲究的,桌上摆好餐布,酒杯,先上了面包做的pizza给我们。样子非常简单的pizza,就是面包片上放上新鲜的番茄,红椒,cheese,parsley烤出来的,pizza还有这样子做的阿,还真让我大开眼界~~酒是意大利红酒,01年的,牌子没仔细看,对我来说味道过于浓郁。重头戏spaghetti则是用cheese和番茄做的sauce,和我们家常吃的肉末sauce完全不一样,以前出去吃我也爱点肉的(没办法,无肉不欢阿)这完全没有肉的意面还是第一次吃,不过sauce的味道非常好,番茄又稠又烂恰到好处,就是面身非常的硬,老外果然还是喜欢吃硬硬的面啊,但是好像又过于硬了,以前在外面吃好像也没有这么硬的阿,我都觉得硬,农药一定是嚼得非常费劲的了{{什么?}}洒在spaghetti上面的Parmesan--铛铛铛铛--就是传说中的Parmigiano Reggiano啊啊啊啊啊~~~~~~~~~~~~~果然是非常非常的香,那种香是浓郁的奶香还带着一种说不出来的香醇~不愧是需要发酵24个月以上的极品cheese阿~
快吃完的时候,意大利哥们又拿出一块Parmigiano Reggiano(真是夸张,一顿饭居然消灭2块cheese)切片,让我们细细咀嚼,Parmigiano Reggiano嚼起来感觉很碎,还带着细细的沙粒感,据说是盐,那种浓浓的奶味和我喜欢的mascarpone是截然不同的,还带了些焦糖般的苦和甜,慢慢的嚼,让浓香充满唇齿之间,这时喝下一口红酒,酒香和cheese香混合,并同时扩散开来,原先觉得过于浓郁的酒也不浓了,感觉更甜更香了些{{幸福}} 只是农药此时已经喝成了红虾,我也没敢多喝~

最幸福的还是当当,意大利哥们把最外面那层干干的硬皮都切给了他,他刚开始还不知道是什么,没吃过啊,农药拿了一块软的逗他吃,他才明白过来,意大利哥们还以为他也会挑嫌硬呢~这小子吃掉了所有的硬皮还把盘子添了一遍又一遍,真受不了阿~也不知道他一下子吃这么多cheese能不能消化阿~

昨日傍晚锻炼,照例带着相机朝着夕阳走去,农药跑在前面,折头,让我回头看

猛回头,看上去,就像天上下红雨了
一定是远处那片云在下雨,雨点映着夕阳的余晖,反射出红红的色彩


太阳光渐渐暗淡


太阳余晖彻底消失,阴沉的天空


回家后不久,那片云大概也移动到了我们头顶上,开始风雨大作,monsoon季节奇妙的景色果然多阿~

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
猫狗似乎一向不合,起因大概是各自的性格和身体语言罢,溜狗的时候常常看到猫弓起背充满警惕的看着我们,当当也狂叫不已。
不过也有友好的,比如以前我在伯明翰认识的那个老太太,2狗7母猫n公猫n鹅(后两者没有进屋的权利,只在屋外喂食),平时还好,猫儿们各玩各的,晚上升起壁炉就在前面排排做看火光,狗狗总是蹲在人脚边要么睡得一塌糊涂,要么就是等吃的,只有吃fish&chips的时候家里9个动物排成一排,各各馋像毕露。
前两天帮patricia送走她的猫的时候她也说,她家的狗狗来的时候小,家里已经有猫,所以就习惯了猫的存在。其实想想也是,虽然个性和身体语言不一样,可是人和他们差得更多,他们不也是依赖着人活得好好的?


前两天运动的时候看到的猫儿,才4个月大,被当当吓到了树上





还在树下得意的样子(他以为自己是狼啊??= =##)

山林风火

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
那日[电光]过后的半夜,我们又看到了[火石],电光火石在一天内看到感觉还真奇妙。

从高速回家的路上,远远就看到了红色的烟,渐渐近了,才发现是大火,看起来在不太远的地方,感觉在一座山的背后,开过去了,才发现其实不是,再接下来,感觉是在我们原先看房子的fulton小区,第一次看到如此大火就在身边,好奇心和不放心让我们决定,虽然此时已经半夜12点多,但还是去看看到底是哪儿起火了

过了fulton才发现我们都猜错了,那火虽然看起来近了,但还有段距离,只是大概是因为火太大,烟太浓,所以才看起来比较近。开了几迈,几乎到了火灾跟前,看到有警车停在那里,警察边和人聊天边看火,看起来满悠闲的样子,远远的拍了几张照片,感觉火势好大,看得出来是树木在燃烧,多半是那天的闪电引起的,风把它们刮向东边(就是我们来的那边),整个看起来是一片红…………

这一带正好是印第安保护区,印第安人也真倒霉,所谓的保护区也就是些鸟不拉屎的荒地,还成天有问题。天天见az的火情危险警报,但这样看到火灾也是第一次,难怪成天在山上看到黑乎乎的树木…………这几天的空气质量一定会很差,漫天的粉尘…………












模糊一片


远观


lomo 2张,不小心拍的,但是觉得这曲线很好看~~





过了一会儿,警察好像接到了报告,走过来对我们说要我们离开,因为有可能会烧到附近的高压线,那样就麻烦了,于是走人~

人民币升值了

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
rmb到底还是升值了,今天涨了2%,还真是快,要是在3年前,我一定拍手叫好,然后开开心心的看着汇率掉下来,可现在却还在美帝国的水深火热中,不管怎么说也在吃着美国饭花着美国钱,一点都不是什么好事。想当初在uk的时候天天看着胖子上涨,到了最后倒也开开心心的看着美元跌,以为跌到了头统统换成了米金,结果却一直还在跌。看到牛奶的msn名字也改了,他一定很郁闷……

现在感觉只要不太影响房市就好,要影响也在短期内体现出来,别等真的入手才崩溃:( 对美汇率变了,不知道买美国国债这件事会不会变,如果中国放弃买美国国债,再加上汇率变了,这边就要很不好过了呢。。。不知道从中国进口的东西会不会涨价呢?

对经济学不太了解,在aya的blog上看到:[中国政府的外汇储备看来没地方消费,凭空蒸发1184亿。] 真是这么夸张啊?? 有预计还要涨25%,那那些外汇储备就这样继续消失?大寒………………不知道局面会变得如何…………

面部分析

还是晖子处拿来的测试:http://www.faceanalyzer.com/default.aspx

哈~100%chinese呢,我还真是中国脸,不像农药50%korean/japanese,50%chinese


Intelligence 7.2 Very Intelligent
Risk 4.8 Low Risk
Ambition 6.7 High Ambition
Gay Factor 1.3 Very Low Gay Factor
Honor 6.5 Average Honor
Politeness 5.4 Average Politeness
Income 7.2 $50,000 - $100,000
Sociability 5.9 Average Sociability
Promiscuity 3.5 Low Promiscuity

YOUR ARCHETYPE:
beta academic

Personality Profile:

You are a long-term planner, diligent worker and avoid risk as much as possible. You are of above average intelligence and have the ability to focus on tasks that seem unimportant at present, but can lead to greater things in the foreseeable future. You are not keen to interact with others or make social connections. You would rather gain material wealth before putting yourself in a position to be judged. You are not confrontational unless someone directly opposes your intellectual beliefs. You are highly concerned with your social status. You are keen to avoid risks that could jeopardize your long-term plans. You take a calculated approach to life, working hard to control all aspects of it in order to not leave anything important to chance.

You tend to be a perfectionist and quite self-conscious. You sometimes wish you were less reserved and more like some others you see who are more bold and outspoken in social situations. But as much as you try to be like them, you cannot, because you care too much about the future to ever be comfortable taking risks in social situations.

Your view of other types
Academic types can end up rich but it will take longer than with Boss types. You see Boss types as potential business clients and as great resources to expand your contacts. Therefore you treat them with respect. For the most part you do not respect Artist types, however there are some Alpha Artists that you give some credit to. You look down upon Blue collar types as you consider them ignorant. You see White collar types as unsuccessful versions of yourself, but because of work situations you may have to interact with them often. You have very little in common with Charmers, therefore you avoid them. You consider Gambler types to make foolish decisions, and for the most part you do not interact with them. At times you feel sorry for Drifters.

Other types' view of you
Boss types consider you to be a valuable resource of advice. They constantly interact with you to make better decisions and they often respect your opinion. For the most part Artist types do not interact with you for they rather take it easy. They however may like you because of your knowledge of subjects that they find interesting. Blue collar types find you boring and uptight, they have very little in common with you. White collar types may respect your accomplishments and ambition. Charmer types regard you as mostly withdrawn from life and too uppity to hang around with. Gambler types think that because you play so safe you miss out on great opportunities. Drifter types have no regard for you, because your repetitive routines seem boring to them.




Beta academic: Not as intelligent or ambitious as Alpha Academics, but still focused on being materially successful.

Expected Occupations: Lawyer, Doctor, Investment Analyst, Accountant, Architect, Engineer, Professor, Researcher, Psychologist

记录一下,最近倾向于做一些职业向测试

失踪人口

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
好像自从伦敦爆炸事件之后,寻人的消息一下子就多了起来,qq群里的,还有msn上的,前些天理智君还问我有没有见过suu,说她好几天没上线了,害我吓一跳,还以为她暑假又从巴黎去了uk,后来想想她就算去了uk也是在luton机场直接转火车去sheffield,想必不会在伦敦停留,所以应该没有事的说~~后来知道她不过是断网而不是去了uk还是松了口气~ 似乎是这个爆炸事件一下子让大家想起关心一下久违的朋友,这样想来倒是个好事呢~
最近断网消失的朋友还有花花,虽然从小美那里看到她的消息,今天才看到新的blog,原来受洗了。
我也好几天不能上网,感觉自己也要失踪了(田村正和式的讪笑两声),周5先是断电,然后服务器无法重起,本想去湖边camping,结果湖边都满了,也难怪,这么热的夏天,大家都知道往舒服的地方跑……于是,整个周末就在日剧和睡觉中度过了~ 极度bt的服务器居然还周6,日2天每天分别工作了半小时,蜗牛速度,连查信都不够{{无敌}}接下来的这2天,虽然服务器恢复工作了,但还是蜗牛速度,感觉和没恢复也差不多,正好也有事要回tucson,于是周1跑回去一趟还顺便和朋友吃了顿饭,碰巧拍到了还算满意的照片,虽然只有几张,因为电池没点了…………回来也遇到了少见的火灾,第二天也还是一样,夕阳美到让人震惊的合不上嘴的地步,可惜没拍下来,残念阿…………
网络不好的这几天倒是让人感觉美景不断呢~那样的话,我倒是希望这样的时候多点了,不过……最好隔天一次美景/断网,比较好吧?不至于会让人太过郁闷^^~

超强的google earth

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
粉强的google earth:
http://earth.google.com/

google总是能让人刮目相看阿,时不时给人些惊喜
虽然google maps也有卫星图片,但是现在这个软件好的地方就是让人感觉飞越地球表面,然后停留在高空中找寻自己的目标,找了好几个认识的地方,连后院的游泳池都清清楚楚,不过只有美国的街道可以搜索,其他地方的还不可以,寻找池袋西口公园就没有具体的标记,不过根据我朝强的目测还是轻松找到,非常的清楚呢,公园中大家跳舞的地方的那些圈圈地面都看得到~
另一个好处就是可以测量无数小段距离的总和,比如我们这里黄线段正好0.5mi,往返是1mi,这样子每天的锻炼是多少就很清楚了,另外一条会走的路线是0.69mi,非常精确的说~~

那两个紫红色点是我通常拍日落的地方,向西望去的2个白色房子是我拍日落中唯一会出现的建筑物了,好清楚呢,在我照片上感觉还更小呢~~

去签了最后的字(应该是),pulte mortgage那边似乎也没有问题
拿了上次没拿的lot的图纸,这才弄明白确切大小,遗憾的是前院实在占地太多,后院小了点,好在后面就是公园,只有通透的矮墙相隔,从视野上也不至于压抑,而且有不需护理就可以享用的草坪

农药作了图纸,把lot和floorplan按比例合成了,绿色处为地板,米色为地毯(並非原地板/地毯顔色,顔色在上篇)

乱花迷人眼之室内装修

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
预约的是上周5下午去挑室内装修的材料,下午1点准时到达。


果然,一进门右手边,地毯的花色材质就有上千种,感觉这么挑一定会比较晕…………

各种地板砖

还有拼接的各种图形砖



到了接待处,等负责我们的那个人,还有cookie吃~


左右张望




各式各样的木质百叶窗


壁橱设计


我们开始挑了


主要是厨房的颜色搭配比较困难,地面,案板,橱柜,还有电器的颜色
因为不是给自己住的房子,基本原则是除非必要统统用standard的配置,比如地毯,不过地毯下面的pad为了舒服期间也还是upgrade了,踩上去的脚感还是比看起来实惠,而且不管选什么样子的颜色搭配总是有人喜欢和不喜欢的,反正将来能更换的东西就没有必要考虑太多了~
确定了这几个,厨房的地板,其余的用灰色地毯,橱柜是左边那块木头色,中间的黑色小块名叫拉布拉多,是案板

至于电器,全部upgrade到最好的那档,这部分感觉还是比较值得,即平面电磁炉(清洁方便),双开门大冰箱,以上+微波炉和洗碗机全部是黑色,洗衣机和烘干机是乳白色,水池也upgrade到不锈钢
看起来颜色搭配应该是类似这样的

平面电磁炉怎么看怎么喜欢


其他的厨房的样板




离开,总共耗时1个半小时,比想象中的简单很多,因为pulte很多都是标准的,没有选择的余地,但也加了2k多的装修

london大事件-还在uk的朋友们都还好吧?

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
bbc news:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4661059.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/london_blasts/html/default.stm

今天起来农药就和我说了早上在伦敦发生的连续爆炸事件,感觉真恐怖,尤其是king's cross那段,那是我在伦敦走得最多的一个地铁站……
以前每次去伦敦都在king's cross下车,然后在附近找一家旅馆,就连和农药刚结婚的时候在伦敦也是住哪儿的。
小g还在群里说:去过king's cross好多次啊,农药说:我们还在哪儿住呢……
还好原先熟悉的朋友们大多都离开了伦敦,磊磊,牛蛙都回国了,刚回uk的银行也确认离开了伦敦到达曼城。粗略的想想,似乎朋友里面也就只有aya还在伦敦而已,去了他的msn space也看到了这个新闻,看起来也是平安无事, 希望其他的朋友们不会凑巧在伦敦就好~

看了看爆炸的几个地点感觉真气愤,russell square那附近可是大英博物馆阿啊啊啊…………每次去我都是走从king's cross到russell square的那段……那帮疯子也不怕伤到了大英博物馆?那样的话不光英国人民,全世界人民估计都要愤怒了~还好那几个landmark都没有事,不然再回去的时候就没有纪念可以故地重游了,和农药约好了10年结婚纪念日要回伦敦桥和格林威治的说~~


我问农药,要是你那时候在伦敦你会如何?
这个笨蛋居然说会在电视机前面看新闻
我说,我的话就租车什么的跑回nottingham之类的小城市去了……反正离开伦敦应该就比较安全了

希望还在uk的朋友们都平安无事!!

p.s.
在找伦敦和巴黎地铁地图来看的时候找到这个网站,非常好的,各国各地的地铁地图都有,北京的居然连地铁票都出现了,好强~~
德国人做的东西就是细致阿~~

辩证

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
买房子是件麻烦事,卖房子更加不用说了,奇怪的是签下合同以后反而开始犹豫起来,签之前想的只是能买下来就好了……
主要担心的还是将来能不能卖出去的问题。
这房子连地一起25万,假设明年4月建好,按照合同住上一年,那么卖房子的时候就应该是07年4月,那个时候这一小区的房子应该都已经完全建好,虽然整个大区估计还有3-4年才全部完成。
关键就在于这25万有多少泡沫的成分呢?2年内还能张多少?
把问题都列出来就是:
反:
1。去年的房子平均只有15万左右,1年内长了10万,其中最近的2个月涨了2万5k,已经到了头
2。这地区有小半投资者,那个时候很可能大批人马在卖房
3。目前是美国贷房利率最低点,能保持多久不知,因此从长远角度来说,导致大量人买房,未来2年如何不定
4。去掉税,去掉房产经济的佣金,去掉1年的投资,这25万买下的房子必须卖到30万才合算--这点是最关键的…………
正:
1。phoenix城里已经没有可发展的区域,这是最后的土地了,而且不断增加的人口,会把人们都赶到这里
2。phoenix今年就业率创新高,intel,motorola之类的大公司总部都在这里,intel今年招人狂多可能是原因之一,由于这些大公司的存在可以认为此地的就业率有保证
3。这一区还在发展,去年只有15万是因为整个社区什么都没有,今年有了超市,有了学校,明年还有别的商业入驻,政府也计划建公园和改善交通
4。现在的builder都严重控制了投资者买房,虽然还是有不少投资者,但是比原来少很多了,泡沫并不大
5。比起城里面70,80万的房子来说,这里20-30万的独门独院的房子还是不错的选择
6。我们的builder为全美最大也是最好的之一,房子质量有保证
7。我们选的地好,将来比同小区的房子有竞争力

其他想到再补充

基本上来说就是,就是,就算房子本身只值12,3万,加上社区价值,现在大概能值20万,加上发展增值,2年后本身价值应该也大约是25万,现在我们买的25万,其中3-5万为泡沫?2年后如果泡沫破裂,由于本地区特殊于其他居住区的几点,不可能像加州那样彻底崩溃,有可能会缓慢回落3-5万,但不会掉到20w之下,基本上这已经是最坏的打算,所以破产的问题大概不会发生。但是,同时这1个月涨1万的速度目前并没有停止下来,这个速度至少还要保持几个月吧?就算是泡沫1年内也破灭不了,加州那边已经涨到了头,但还没开始回落,大概加州那边开始回落了,我们这边才开始停住增长,1年后如我们预期的涨到30w我感觉问题不大,但是2年后呢,有可能保持住30w,也有可能跌到23,5w,也有可能涨到3x,让我们小发一把……至于几率,没什么把握啊…………

遗憾的独立日

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
因为预约了周日去pulte签买房的合同,所以基本上来说,独立日这个假期就泡汤了。。。打算是签完合同就出发去附近的某个湖,露营+钓鱼的说~7月4日晚上回来还可以去山上看焰火~~
结果,合同从1点半一直签到3点50,n多页,n多表格,无数的签名,签到差点不会签名……之后还会有很多表格,关于贷款,还不知道能不能做下来,还有选择内部装修和外部景观,据说在内部装修那里会被成千上万种颜色和各色材料弄花眼……还好外部景观可以上网选择…………
签完合同回家,感觉就是2个字:无力…………
累得半死,露营还是免了吧,在家看日剧得了~
于是,整个7月4日就在家里看日剧了,因为听说我们这里也能看到烟火所以也不着急出门,一直看到9点20慢慢拿好角架和相机出门,等到9点半,果然看到了焰火,可是………………可是…………只有虫子一样的大小…………拿望远镜看也不过是指甲大,实在郁闷得不得了,一年一度的焰火就这样错过了。。。。本来还想拍的说:~~

另一个遗憾就是非同一般的太空焰火的错过,虽然这个即使不错过也不一定能看到,就是……就是nasa在准备了6年后的今天,用深度撞击号撞击彗星的太空独立日焰火,深度撞击号将会带着照相机不断拍摄并传回图像直到撞毁,假设撞击激烈的话,在我们这块光污染很少的沙漠中一定很容易观测到的,但是呢....7月4号的夜空并不是只是7月4号的晚上,而是凌晨…………
残念阿………………

剧院舞台上的the phantom of the opera

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
虽然去了2次电影院看poto,下了n个版本的ost,等了半年总算等到了全美巡演,还差2天的时候我就一直叨叨着要看phantom了,28号的时候,农药说明天要做什么什么的,我就说明天要看戏!农药很受不了的说,看戏晚上才开始阿!
嘿嘿,29号晚上7点半开始的,按照之前得到的信息,要想有停车位必须提前1小时到达,我们更夸张,4点多就出门了,顺便去了趟pulte(当时正好接到他们的电话留言,这该死的地方总是收不到手机信号:(,结果他们那儿还没人上班!),于5点半到达戏院门口,天色还早,太阳还明晃晃的挂在天上热人,绕了剧院转了大半圈,拍了几张pp,决定还是先找地方吃饭是正经,看看附近只看到了一家ihop,于是去吃pancake的说~~

6点半离开ihop,回到戏院,发现老美还是很注重看戏的阿,大半的人(基本都是女性)穿着非常正式的晚装,裸露的肩膀,收紧的腰身,蓬蓬的裙摆,闪烁的首饰,各种香水味道混杂,女洗手间更是充满了补妆的人群。。。

表演前看了看小册子,才发现这次来的巡演居然有3个c,主要是rebecca pitcher,负责前半段的巡演,marie danvers负责后半段的,还有elizabeth southard唱周末,phantom和raoul都只有一个演员,这让人很奇怪……有点后悔没有事前做好research就随便选了一天来看,不然也该看看各个c的reviews如何,挑个好的……

迫不及待的等到开演,虽然也不是第一次看舞台音乐剧,之前在uk也看过,但是来了美国以后一直都是看电影,特别是因为poto的电影让我印象太过深刻的关系刚开始看感觉真不习惯,感觉舞台还是局限了太多细节的表现,比如一开始吊灯拉起那幕,相比电影特效的华丽,这个感觉太一般了,而且剧院太大,没有什么特别的感觉(再一次的后悔到伦敦这么多次都没有在女王剧院看poto!!!!)
小c出现的时候拿望远镜仔细的看了看,比起小美女emmy的姿色来说差很多了,而且人也显得老,最初发声唱think of me的时候并没有很出色的表现,最后的颤音也感觉不自然,而且此时的换装变化场景也比电影中差太多,电影中的emmy那一个镜头真真是惊艳阿!!不过后面她一直唱的很不错,虽然音响效果和配乐也不如电影的。。。

帅哥小r出场,这绝对是3人中最佳的表演,每个动作表情都很到位,怨不得人家小c会选择他啊,泪…………

比较好奇舞台的设计是如何做的,phantom在镜中的出现和c的倒影竟如此协调,到了地下湖烛灯从地面升起那幕也很吸引眼球,真的营造出了地宫的气氛,难怪有人写电影影评说那部分没有创新呢~
至于phanton的唱法,让我很不习惯,不知道是不是因为听了太多遍的86年伦敦版的mc唱的和听了太多遍电影的ost,我原觉得电影里的phantom唱的soso,表现力不足,可是这位似乎表现又太过了……the music of the night很多断音处都不太一样,感觉情感过于激烈,反而没有表现出这首歌的精髓,后面也有好些地方有些恶狠狠的,按我的理解,phantom不会对c太过于恶狠狠的,他绝望的愤怒,他绝望的情欲,但是正如他最后的3重唱里对r说的:Did you think that I would harm her? 他深爱c,所以即使愤怒和绝望也不会太过恶狠狠的……
不过,他的悲痛和绝望真的表演的很好,看他伏地痛哭,直觉得揪心……最后那幕,c回来还戒指,他抬起头来,这时我居然感觉我也一样抱着希望看到c回心转意,可是还戒指……真打击人……...那句:christine,I love you.......真是催人泪下.....5…………

最后演员出来谢幕,得到最多掌声的还是phantom,主角阿(想起某朋友说他是坏人,巨寒。。。)

总的感觉呢,就是r唱的区别都不大,毕竟这个角色蛮好理解的,也不困难,c唱的就比较有区别,sb的唱功还是我听的这几个(加拿大版的没有找到。。。)里面最强的,感情一般,而且怎么看她怎么不象c....emmy的表演最好(看起来赏心悦目更不用说了……),唱的感情也最到位,高音薄弱了点也是没有办法的……这次看的这位呢,都是居中水平吧~
phantom的演唱区别太太太大了,每个人唱的都不一样,感情抒发的感觉也完全不同,我听的这几个还是mc的最好
这次的gary mauer好像以前是唱r角的,为什么现在让他唱phantom了呢?真是奇怪阿~
最后激烈的3重唱感觉很乱,听不明白的说,回来仔细研究了下olc,其实c几乎和没唱一样,r和phantom的还是几乎错开了的,母语是英语的话应该还是能听明白,郁闷阿,如果听得更明白些,感觉会更不一样吧…………

其他几个角色,意大利的女高音居然丧失了意大利口音,让人感觉不爽,giry表现很不错

这次看的总体感觉就是一般,还是电影好看~化妆舞会也不如电影来的华丽,不过这么个小小舞台尽能这样的展现场景,也让我大开眼界了,地宫,屋顶,剧场,真有身临其境的感觉
演员们的表现也预期应该还会更好一些,可能是巡演的关系吧……这个月底的时候会去纽约,虽然时间安排上不太自由,希望能有时间去百老汇看一场{{发火}}
另一个决定就是,去买非常华丽华丽华丽的电影dvd.....

终于就这样决定了?

Large Font(180%)Bigger Font(130%)Original Font(100%)
上个星期被hacienda告知排队排到了我们,差点就要决定是不是定在那边了的,但是那边要远2。5迈,而且会经过一条火车线,很让人犹豫,虽然价格方便和带一个游泳池在后院这点很是诱人……

没想到还没决定,pulte也通知说我们现在是top of the list了,虽然上次email list排队晚了1个小时,也就这样等了一个月,价格似乎也又涨了1万,不过想了想觉得还是pulte的最合心意,首先builder是最好的,其次,关键是看中了一块背靠公园的lot,可以从后院矮栅栏往外望,视野很好。本来今天下午只是去pulte看看具体情况的,结果因为这块地就这样定了下来,担心晚了就没了。。。。交了定金以后感觉是不是决定的有点快,不过这样折腾了2个月,并没有特别的买到房子的欣喜,只感觉接下来的问题还不少,选option,签合同,贷款,等等……不过感觉折腾2个月眼看要暂时有结果了,有种终于可以告一段落的满足感^^
决定的是598那块地


不过就option上最大的矛盾就是到底要几间卧室?3间还是4间呢?传统的美式家庭都是2个孩子,一人一间,主卧+客房/书房,应该是至少4间的,不在乎房间的大小,关键是每个人都有自己的隐私。但是假设是老人家住呢?或者是新婚夫妇买第一套房子,那4间就太多了。考虑将来resale的问题实在很头疼,因为不知道什么样的买主会比较多…………
但就我自己感觉,我比较喜欢这套房子的大主卧,wic也是,被割成小小的,连壁橱都小小的,让人很不爽阿啊啊……
3间还是4间呢……

不可理解的壁橱们都喜欢装上镜子,中国人还是很忌讳这样的
