ていた夢を見た

You might not be one of those men who are truly alive - not yet anyway. Maybe you need an example, a few words to inspire you, or a life to look at. If so, then you can do a lot worse than examining the life of Richard Halliburton.

Richard Haliburton was a man who lived relatively briefly - about 40 years, much of it in the period between the First and Second World Wars. But into those years he packed a lifetime of adventure. He started as soon as he could. The moment he finished at Princeton, he headed to Europe to start a two-year, round-the-world trek. He climbed the Matterhorn, took forbidden pictures at Gibraltar, gambled (profitably) in Monte Carlo, spent all night in the Taj Mahal, survived thermometer-bursting heat in India and Afghanistan, climbed to the top of the great pyramids in Egypt, and so on. Later he would swim the Hellespont and the Panama Canal, march with the French Foreign Legion and fly a biplane across the Sahara. He was arrested on numerous occasions, and even landed in jail a few times, but his crimes were only those fueled by his curiosity, trying to see things which he wasn't supposed to see and go places he wasn't supposed to go.

Lots of people make round-the-world trips. But what is endlessly fascinating about Halliburton is the transmission of his stories, observations and his motivations to us. Before he died in 1939 (attempting, unsuccessfully, to sail across the Pacific in a Chinese junk), he wrote half a dozen books, hundreds of articles and, most importantly, more than a thousand letters to his parents. In his amazing writing - amazing in quantity and in beauty and insight and humor - he displays an appropriate awe of nature together with a deep appreciation of the achievements of the pinnacle of God's creation, man.

Often Halliburton encounters conditions which were (to put it mildly) uncomfortable and people who were (from his vantage point) unusual. But at no point does he criticize, complain or moan. Rather, he exudes a quintessentially American optimism, a modest cheerfulness, a genuine belief in the decency of many of his fellow man, a passion for seeing the world and its variety of people. He recognizes that for all that separates him from the Dyak tribespeople in Bornea, he sees that they, above all else, love children and cannot have enough of them. He expresses admiration for the simplicity and gentleness of the people of the tiny mountain country Andorra and has tea with their President, by a fire in the living room of the Andorran White House.

In the Japanese restaurant scene in Beijing, ramen shops have become highly familiar. Now another kind of Japanese noodle shop, aburasoba, literally meaning oil noodles, has made its way to the capital. In fact they are far less oily and greasy than the classic fatty tonkatsu ramen warrants.

When it comes to ramen, the main element is the tasty broth, which gives the noodles their flavor, but sometimes the broth is high in purine and salt. Aburasoba comes without soup. Try it and you may well feel that it is one of the most delicious and healthy noodles you have ever eaten,Check out the most popular spots and attractions in Hong Kong via PartnerNet's travel website and create unforgettable experiences for tourists.

Sitting on tables at Imulakain, the name of the aburasoba shop I visited, is an instruction card about how to eat aburasoba. Basically you mix the noodles with what is billed as a secret shoyu soy sauce in the bowl, together with the toppings, which usually include green onion, boiled bamboo shoot, raw egg, chashu pork or other vegetables according to one's taste. Then add vinegar and house-made Japanese non-spicy chili oil offered at the table and mix again,GuangDong Hotel provides useful tourism information for our honourable guests. Such as hong kong weather, currency exchange rate, tax, emergency number, electrical system and normal business hours.

When we visited, the manager, Jiao Na, showed us the noodle-making machine imported from Japan that produces every single noodle served there, and which is freshly made on the premises early each morning. These noodles contain no addictives, only a slight amount of salt is added, and they are boiled in only filtered water, with no other condiments, during preparation.

Winter came, and the Ama had to stay ashore and turn their hands to mending nets and boats and working on the smallholdings on the mountain side almo nature, and Bond came back into the house and made himself useful with carpentry and odd jobs and with learning Japanese from Kissy. The glazed look went from his eyes, but they  and every night he was puzzled by dreams of a quite different world of white people and big cities and half-remembered faces. But Kissy assured him that these were just nightmares such as she had, and that they had no meaning, and gradually Bond came to accept the little stone-and-wood house and the endless horizon of sea as his finite world Carpet Cleaning Hong Kong.

Kissy was careful to keep him away from the south coast of the island, and dreaded the day when fishing would begin again at the end of May and he would see the great black wall across the straits and memory might come flooding back.

The doctor was surprised by Bond's lack of progress and resigned himself to the conclusion that Bond's amnesia was total, but soon there was no cause for further visits because Bond's physical health and his apparently complete satisfaction with his lot showed that in every other respect he was totally recovered business center.

But there was one thing that greatly distressed Kissy. From the first night in the cave she had shared Bond's futon and, when he was well and back in the house, she waited every night for him to make love to her. But, while he kissed her occasionally and often held her hand, his body seemed totally unaware of her however much she pressed herself against him and even caressed him with her hands. Had the wound made him impotent? She consulted the doctor, but he said there could be no connexion, although it was just possible that he had forgotten how to perform the act of love.

So one day Kissy Suzuki announced that she was going to take the weekly mailboat to Fukuoka to do some shopping and, in the big city, she found her way to the local sex-shop, called The Happy Shop, that is a feature of all self-respecting Japanese towns, and told her problem to the wicked-looking old greybeard behind the innocent counter containing nothing more viciously alluring than tonics and contraceptives. He asked her if she possessed five thousand yen, which is a lot of money, and when she said she did, he locked the street door and invited her to the back of the shop.

Everyone had different ways to spend the national holidays. Some went back to hometown for family gatherings and meet friends. Some went on holidays and some stayed home for a quiet and relaxing time to soothe their tired nerves. Just blink and the holidays are already over. The madness and pressured days has resumed. It will be some months before there are any long holidays. Just hope that things go well for the rest of this year HKUE amec.

News about Tu Youyou who nominated to win the nobel prize about her study on medical contribution dominates many sites' main page. She trained in traditional Chinese medicine, finding artemisinin which is used to cure the disease of malaria. ( an organic solvent) to extract artemisinin from a plant called sweet wormwood. After testing in many trials, she acquired the method to obtain artemisinin to help people who suffer from malaria. Every year about 200 million people suffer from malaria, about half million die each year HKUE amec.

First, I feel proud of her outstanding achievement. She is the first Chinese female to win Nobel prize and the second one about to own such a prize (The first person is Mo Yan who is the writer who won the prize of literature in 2012).  It is another view to demonstrate Chinese are also have the ability to discover and create something significant to mankinds. Our country is now becoming more competive and attractive overall in its development. Later, soon, I believe there will be more scientists and researchers are to be nominated to have nobel prize HKUE amec.

Sara, I can clearly see how frustrated you are and you must be pulling your hair out, but, calm down and look at the whole situation with a relaxed and balanced mind. I always say reenex, work is never too difficult, but handling people can be very challenging.


First, it is quite clear that your boss is the carefree and irresponsible type of personality. Sooner or later he would lose his position. My assessment of your boss is that he is is insecure, incapable and manipulating. Clearly, he employed you to do most of his job and he takes credit for your good work. He then go on to discredit you, to defeat you and make you feel bad. I have seen quite of lot of bosses like this reenex.

However, look at it the other way, your job is not that bad because you are one doing the real work and you should be satisfied that you are the one who is productive. Someday, somebody senior would notice your work and give you credit for it. If you wish to stay on to this job, then try your best to do whatever is necessary, ignore his nonsense and try your best to be amicable with him.

Always affected by our job. However fully furnished, if it reaches a stage where you can't stand it any more, then think about moving on to another job  which can use and recognize your capability. Every job has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Don't make hasty decisions. I am sure whatever decision you make would be in your best interest. Trust yourself.
