** Last Day at Dar es Salaam!! Sending out postcards to all my beloved ones in the world^^**
I never really imagined how beautiful the beaches are in AFRICA?!?!
See the dark clouds!! April and May are rain seasons at Tanzania, so there are random heavy rain showers throughout the day!!
This was a magical moment for me^^!! We just randomly went to a beach and immediately we saw these local atheletes training^^
**I”ll always remember the smiles on their faces**
We were driving around when we spotted a grassfield filled with kids playing soccer, so we stopped by and went to play with them^^It was an unforgettable experience!!
I was like kissed 2 times by the children^^
Playing soccer is like their only entertainment. Compared with the people here, we really should feel fortunate and grateful for what we have already!!
前往Mikumi National Park的車程要6小時多, 看看那條又長又直的車道…
無污染的天空, 一望無際, 置身其中,就像與大自融為一體
根據國家公園的工作人員說, 這就是獅子的腳印
**This boy is so adorable^^**
Sigh!! This is the first time in like more than 10 years I’ve been missing out on the whole NBA season>< and now I don’t even get to watch the playoffs><
But anyways, this is also the first time I get to run with the Olympic torch in Africa, so it’s all worthwhile afterall haha^^
This is where the opening ceremony is held - Tazara Railway Station!
Along the torch relay route, some roads are flooded><
This is me and Raymond after running 1/4 of the torch relay under 30+ degrees temperature. Our clothes were all wet with sweat..>< but still, it felt really satisfying though^^
The ending ceremony was held at the new National Stadium^^
為了這非洲之旅﹐我們事先打了5支防疫針去對抗燈隔熱﹐腦膜炎及肝炎等等疾病﹐而且還要吃一種非常難吃的藥去防禦在非洲很普遍的病-Malaria。
聽起來好像很恐怖﹐可是想深一層﹐如果那裡真的是那麼危險﹐奧運聖火也不會選擇到達吧。而在現實中﹐坦桑尼亞的確是比我想像中好很多﹐它其實是非洲裡面其中一個最繁榮的國家。那當然﹐相比起其它國家﹐這裡還是算窮﹐不過已是一個發展中的地方。
This is the first view of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for me!!
This lady with a baby came up to our car to ask for money><
little stores on the street
a restaurant in our hotel^^
everyone here does that…they’re so good at it too^^
開幕儀式就在中國有資助興建的火車站舉行
其實呢度既小朋友都好可愛, 青少年又年友善, 他們會上前跟我們打招呼, 又很想知有關我們的事情
終於完成呢站既聖火追蹤, 真係好熱架!!!
**Beautiful Eiffel Tower**
I felt like crying again! 1st time was at the Olympia torch relay in Greece.
記得當時我是第一次這麼近距離看見示威的行動。火炬手快跑到的時候﹐突然間一班拿著banners的年青人從群眾裡跑出來﹐坐著地上攔著火炬手前進﹐大聲吶喊口號。我還深深記得他們臉上的憤怒悲傷的表情﹐真的把我嚇呆了。那時候﹐保安人員立刻把示威者抱走﹐雙方掙扎之際﹐我當時心情真的很複雜﹐感覺害怕﹐不是在害怕我的人生安全﹐而是害怕有人會受到傷害﹐感覺很無奈及很無助。我在想﹐當我身在戰禍當中﹐我渺小的能力又可以做到些什麼呢﹖幫到些什麼呢﹖
來到巴黎這一站﹐示威行動更大型。我再次感到那種無奈及驚恐。這次還親眼看見打架及感受過在示威人群中被壓迫的感覺。為什麼人不可以和平相處呢﹖
誰對誰錯﹖誰對多些﹖誰錯多些﹖我現在這一刻不夠知識去評論。可是﹐我覺得的就是大家應該要尊重奧運的精神﹐尊重奧運這個活動﹐讓聖火傳遞順利進行。要示
威可以啊﹐但可否不要影響奧運呢﹖
