波士頓青年疑犯及少年Pi
自從知道波士頓爆炸䅁19歳疑犯躱在小船內,我腦海不停出現少年Pi電影影像。我在想船內的他想著甚麼。現他受傷還未能接受問話,就算他真能說話,他所說的是一個怎麼樣的'故事'?人們又是否相信那些原因。如果是他做的?他為何如此不仁?
在美國我遇過生活不如意的巴勒斯坦穆斯林青年,讀了大學酒店學位,在中東做過酒店行業,然後被炒,在美國只能在敘利亞人公司當司機,祖家耶路撒冷回不了去,在美國又可以怎樣?在世界各角落,有太多未如理想生活情況。有些人一出生,遇著的都不是憑己力能解決的問題?我生在那些地方,我又會如何?

Citi bike must be good?
For whatever reasons city bicycling is viewed as good. Environmental protection and healthy exercise are obvious reasons that I can understand and support. NYC has recently introduced the bike sharing initiative but I was a bit worried. The other night I was almost hit by a bicycle on the road in the street of NYC whiling following traffic light. I had similar experience in Berlin. The cyclists do not follow traffic rules. while western countries advocate this healthy cycling practice, they have to learn from Asian countries, good things can turn bad if we do not prepare for all possibilities. Cyclists have to remember that they have a vehicle that may pose danger to themselves and others. If cities have to change for better. New rules may have to follow to protect all parties. Rules should not be viewed as restrictions only. It sets predictable pattern that everyone feels protected. No one would want more accidents and simple rules can do the good.
P.s air pollution is too serious in major cities. It is not as healthy as people think. With more exercise, you breathe in more carbon dioxide than oxygen. Would lung cancer incidence rate be increased?
