They titled this part as " Sea world". The lanterns are all types of fishes. Among them, lots of riddles were hanged over.

1, Cowboy Style (Reading, USA)

"Nothing conjures up the rough-and-tumble history and fierce independence of the American West like the image of a cowboy on his horse. The exhibit celebrates steer wrestling, a wilder event that tests a cowboy's strength, speed and timing. Reading salutes the legacy of the cowboy with a popular annual rodeo drawing competitors from America and Canada." -----commentary

2, Montreal on Stage (Montreal Quebec , Canada)

"The exhibit represents the urban landscape of Montreal silhouetted against Mount Royal with a huge maple tree on top. The crowds celebrating the traditional Jazz Festival, the Francofolies, the Circus of the sun, the Film Festival and the Laughter Festival, is an impressive dsiplay of the hospitality of the Montreal people to friends from home and abroad. "------commentary

3, The Lanterna (Genoa, Italy)

"The symbol of Genoa, the Lanterna was built in 1543. Being a 77-metre-high tower, it is made of two blocks roughly of the same height, and both with a projecting terrace. The Lanterna, standing firmly at the harbor, has served as an unfailing guardian and has welcomed vessels and boats for centuries."------commentary

4, Palace of the Arts ( Valencia, Spain)

"The Palace of Arts, (or Palau de les Arts in Spanish), the Spanish architectural landmark has become a major center of performing arts. The opening of the Palace has fulfilled one of its most ambitious commitments in its efforts to recognize, to support and to promote the musical heritage of Valencia, of Spain and of the world. "------commentary

5, Streets of Flowers and Greenery---Hamamatsu

( Hamamatsu Shizuoka-pref, Japan)
"The crane represents the wills and wishes on the part of the Japanese people to communicate with the outside world while the traditional Japanese wave patterns on the ground features the sea of Enshu. The whole screen is a vivid showecase of the picturesque landscape of Hamamatsu and the Fuji Mountain. "------commentary

6, Strive for the Best (Hong Kong, China)

"The exhibit of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region features a flock of the Chinese White Dolphins leaping towards the centre together from all sides, which shows tremendous vigor and vitality. It symbolizes that all the Hong Kong people are working together in concerted effort to strive for the best after the reunification with the motherland."------commentary

7, Macao -- A City Rich in Cultural Heritage (Macao , China)

The main scene of this design is the Ruin of St. Paul's Church with different kinds of plants exemplify the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in Macao. "------commentary

8, The Morning of Shanghai (Shanghai, China)

"The exhibit is a colourful display of the morning in Shanghai. By the Huangpu River, the pleasant sunshine, the twittering birds, the fragrant flowers, the flowing traffic, the jogging elders and the close-knit families make up a picture that can be appreciated and a melody that can be heard."------commentary

每次想要写东西的时候，总是发现脑子一片空白。这不知道是不是只有我才有的反应。

九月很快就要溜走了。回首看过走过的这个九月，好像忙碌了些。今天忽然发现自己头发里几根白头发出现，除了惊讶以外，我心里更多的是一种难过，一种无法名状的难过。时间已经流逝这么多，我已经出现了白发。而自己，一无所成。没有属于自己朝阳一般的工作，没有属于自己温馨甜蜜的小家，只是自己一个人为生活而发愁、为家人的琐碎事情烦恼、为许多不知是无畏还是无所谓的事情烦恼、操心、担忧。

我一直觉得自己需要一个家，属于自己的家。记忆里，小时候每次呆在家里，心里就踏实。一种安全、一种安定让自己可以游刃有余的面对生活中的一切。可我总也找不到那个属于自己的家。命运是一种什么样的东西，对我而言，太神秘！我已经不知道该将自己调整到什么样的心态，去面对什么样的社会了。

其实，我的要求并不多，只是一个爱我的人，即可。

九月的中间

2006-09-15T21:05:00.000+08:00

很久不写中文的东西了，只是为了让自己不断的熟练英语，为了考试，也为了以另外一种方式尝试表达自己。

其实，我不是个擅长写东西的人。常常会在深更半夜的时候思绪万千，一旦坐下来，似乎一切都停止在了我躺在床上的那个瞬间。所以写作一直是让我望而却步的神圣的事业。可是，自己目前将要走上的就是这样一个将以文字为生的生活。想起来直冒冷汗。

所以，想在这里开个博克，抒发奇想，给自己留个空间。

我的思绪，向往开始在九月的中间。
