December 11 Snoopy's nose was goneCouldn't help laughing when I took Snoopy out of the washing match, my god, my Snoopy has no nose?! Stupid me, how can I do it to him just because of his dirty shirt? Poor Snoopy, I am sorry.
But of course, Snoopy is far from enough, as it can't displace green plant. While the problem is I am not Helen, now only withered and yellow branches left in my balcony. It is said to be closer to life, we need to be closer to green, well, I think this is right, but to avoild befooling the green, I shall make myself a gardener first. Mmm, a gardener, sound no bad. So here I strongly recommend those who have set them free with over two months' annual leave due to the economic crisis should try this challenging job, a job good for your body and soul, and good for the earth, see?
I never thought my first stop in Africa would be Sudan, a so poor and terroristic country by hearsay. But to be frank, my three days' stay there hardly reminded me I was so far away from China, and if food could be nicer there, or weather not that dry, I might not long for Dubai that much. Indeed, seeing is believing, Sudan is poor, but people there are friendly, and the old-line Arab country still welcomes the outside world with its reforming courage, although its beauty and quietness has been covered by ceaseless chaos which was caused by historic and ethnic reasons. The following flight from Khartoum to Dubai was OK, but the stay was rnot satisfying as expected--over 7 hours' waiting for GM of Dubai Office, but he never showed up, Jesus, how could this happen?! Then the dinner in BURJ AJ ARAB was rejected as we didn't make reservation 24 hours before, well, fine, we still had Atlantis on Palm Island. The newly opened 7-star hotel was not that different from its appearance, but its huge inner aquarium was really marvellous--the idea, the design, and its shocking halobios was right the peak of the perfection! The beach outside of Atlantis also drew my attention, the breeze, the sunshine and the blue are all my favourite, and I trust the only difference between Khartoum and Dubai is right the point. What makes Dubai the most popular holiday destination? Not its world No.1 Dubai Tower, not its luxurious villas you can see all the way, not its expensive hotels and resorts along the beach, only sunshine and blue, only completely relaxation in sunshine and facing the blue, now, I know.
