CJ has forwarded me this e-mail called "You Know You're a Vancouverite When".  Out of the 80 items I have selected some of the best ones~

You Know You're a Vancouverite When:

1. You know the mountains are located north. In fact, you use them to get your bearing when lost.

12. However, you consider 20 degrees and above ‘roasting’.

17. Deciding where to eat is a matter of deciding what type of food you’re in the mood for: Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, etc.

24. It snows your trash isn’t picked up and your garbage trucks turn into salt trucks.

31. The concept of skiing, golfing, and sailing in the same day does not seem impossible to you.

32. You feel guilty about throwing aluminum cans in the garbage.

48. You’ve been lost in Richmond because you thought making two right turns would get you back on to the main road.

49. You know that Vancouver Island is not in Vancouver.

50. You plan to go skiing or snowboarding after work / school.

54. You have an unbendable faith that cars will always stop when you cross the street. (This one is classic!!)

60. Cars that don’t turn right on red lights make you upset.

78. Lululemon is not just a clothing brand but a way of life. (for girls and, probably should be less, guys)

81. You can read a decent size novel before being admitted into the hospital.

I love traveling

I love visiting new cities and finding my ways out of the unknown streets

I love trying out recommanded foods and talking to different people

I love taking hundreds of photos of the small corners and locals' daily activities...

Well, I can't wait to visit the next new city...

Michael最近在嚷嚷著要去印度做兩個星期的義工
因為一句最近很紅的話:"有些事情現在不做, 將來就再也不會做了!"

其實我很認同這句話想要表達的意思

當我們年輕時可能有很偉大或是很刺激的計畫
譬如說爬聖母峰或是自助旅遊從中亞玩到歐洲
或是學開直昇機或是到原住民區教英文
something that cannot be simply and easily achieved by money

因為種種的原因和藉口
我們總是想想就算了
也許是沒有時間
也許是存不夠錢
也許只是單純地膽小沒勇氣...

然後
人活得越老繫絆就越多
工作不一定能請長假
家裡有老婆要陪有小孩要照顧
假日還要陪客戶打小白球或參加同事的婚禮

於是一天又過了一天
於是一年又過了一年

直到我們病了老了
才發現自己最初的Great Plans一個也沒去做......

Michael似乎真的下定決心要去印度做義工了
雖然兩個星期實在不怎麼像是真正的Great Plan
但那是一個開始
起碼他會走出這第一步

我也常在想
如果當初我是選擇去日本教兩年英文
或是如果我當初去了泰國的工廠工作
那麼今天我的生活又會是怎麼樣

若我有那個機會去做個"壯遊"之類的大冒險
那麼應該也會是在我的匯豐約滿之後

那個時候
我該做什麼樣的壯遊才好呢......?
