10/24 天府之國

今天到了天府之國 - 四川成都. 第一站是杜甫草堂, 優靜, 簡普, 一片片的竹海, 有別於之前江南的小橋流水人家. 在杜甫草堂, 大小米不自覺的想到 Chien Chien, 如果大哥在這裡, 想必是詩興大發.

After that, we had a heavenly dinner at 龍炒手, 10 different kinds of 成都小吃 for less then $2 USD. The food is great, very "ma", not so "la. The way "Ma La" dish is supposed to be.

After dinner we went to see Sichuan opera "Changing face". Performance is great, audience sucks. Mostly tourist group from HK and TW, no one claps for some strange reason. Ricaman and Leigo clap like crazy for the rest of the audience.

The "Ma La Tang" here smells good, we did not get to eat any, too full. It's about 1 US Cent per stick!

Going to Jiou Zhai tomorrow.

BTW, a note to Chien Chien, the girls in Si Chuan are super pretty. You got to come here!

Really that pretty? Is Riceman allow to take some photos of these Super pretty ladies? 江南四大才子 would love to have some closeup exam of these photos.

杜甫在成都住了有四年之久。當時是因為安史之亂,漂泊如萍,對自己身世的感慨,成為他在四川時主要的創作靈感。聽說杜甫草堂現在是重點旅遊點,想必人一定很多吧!我覺得,詩,看不懂,倒沒什麼關係。只要能對詩人的身平及精神有所認識,就不虛此行了,對吧!

Many thanks to Leigo and Riceman for still looking out for me even though we are more than 7000 miles apart. But let's look at this logically: I presume, and all should agree, that any healthy relationship must rest upon, among other things, a common set of palatable food. Spicy food is a part of any beautiful chengdu 姑娘's healthy diet, and besides having a natural unfondness toward vegetables, I also can't eat spicy food, and there, ipso facto, spell the doom of any possible Chengdu Romance.

One last thing: So I guess Si Chuan Hot pot was finally taken off the agenda, 唉!可惜啊,可惜!恭喜啊,恭喜!
