从煎蛋上看到一个视频,两个无聊但应该还有点小钱以及时间的法国人,花了三周时间绕了地球一圈,从伦敦出发,经过开罗、孟买、香港、东京、旧金山、纽约,然后回到伦敦,他们拍了很多照片,然后做成了定格动画《Le tour du monde en 80 secondes》,土豆连接在这里.

这个视频告诉我们看下全世界那些街道只需要80秒?其实转下地球仪只需1秒,或者更少。
当地人用几乎全部的生命来创造周围的环境,经过,拍摄,连唏嘘都没有发出。我相信所有人都有环球旅游的愿望,可惜有时间的时候没钱,有钱的时候没时间,倒是不如走马观花,我自远处来,多么清高的姿态,多么逼人的空闲。
多少年后终于感慨,原来曾经向往的地方也不过如此,是时间以及经验的累计让我们彻底迷失了希望,还是真以为遥远的家乡有一跟无形的线在时刻紧系?
旅行的意义是逃避吧,那些个又爱又恨的地方以及人,不是么。

很久没有让我写东西的冲动了,但是看到煎蛋上的这篇文章,我真的是囧了。
没错,现在是金融危机,我们有很多篇幅去报道那些让全世界都头痛的重大问题,而不是某只猫又跑到树上去了,当满脑子都是重大问题的时候,这段小小的音频,不火不行啊。
一个才4岁的小孩居然知道有问题找警察,虽然他最后问的问题是16-8及5-5的数学问题,911的接线员,一个比较老气的男子木有挂电话,木有直接回答,而来了个反问,当然最后以扫兴的妈妈介入而告终,全文如下,收听点此:
Operator: 911 emergencies.
Boy: Yeah I need some help.
Operator: What’s the matter?
Boy: With my math.
Operator: With your mouth?
Boy: No with my math. I have to do it. Will you help me?
Operator: Sure. Where do you live?
Boy: No with my math.
Operator: Yeah I know. Where do you live though?
Boy: No, I want you to talk to me on the phone.
Operator: No I can’t do that. I can send someone else to help you.
Boy: Okay.
Operator: What kind of math do you have that you need help with?
Boy: I have take aways.
Operator: Oh you have to do the take aways.
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: Alright, what’s the problem?
Boy: Um, you have to help me with my math.
Operator: Okay. Tell me what the math is.
Boy: Okay. 16 take away 8 is what?
Operator: You tell me. How much do you think it is?
Boy: I don’t know, 1.
Operator: No. How old are you?
Boy: I’m only 4.
Operator: 4!
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: What’s another problem, that was a tough one.
Boy: Um, oh here’s one. 5 take away 5.
Operator: 5 take away 5 and how much do you think that is?
Boy: 5.
Woman: Johnny what do you think you’re doing?!
Boy: The policeman is helping me with my math.
Woman: What did I tell you about going on the phone?
Operator: It’s the mother…
Boy: You said if I need help to call somebody.
Woman: I didn’t mean the police.
