Welcome

Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near. The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart...... "Stray Birds" by Rabindranath Tagore is my favorite poem. Here I'll share pictures of life in France and trip in Europe with words from "Stray Bird".

Words......

The song feels the infinite in the air, the picture in the earth, the poem in the air and the earth; For its words have meaning that walks and music that soars.

We're all skull




We shall know some day that death can never rob us of that which our soul has gained, for her gains are one with herself.
- Stray birds, Tagore

First of all, I've to decleared that I am a super fans of skull. For me, it is the sign of the truth - that's what human. No matter how our temporary appearance different, whether it's beautiful or ugly from others' view, we all looks the same under the skin. It reminds me that the temporary appearance cannot represent the beauty of a person but only our heart can. The beauty of a person is judged by our heart and wisdom. And this is the eternal beauty that even death cannot take it away from us.

Kostnice Ossuary Beinhaus is a church made by thousands of human skull. It contains the remains of about 40 000 people. The largest collections of bones are arranged in the form of bells in the four corners of the chapel. There is a chandelier in the centre of the nave, containing all the bones of the human body and two monstrances beside the main altar and the coat-of arms of the Schwarzenberg noble family on the left-hand side of the chapel.

It's located at Kutna Hora , which is about 2hrs train from Prague. After getting off the train, we took bus to go there. During the return ride of bus, the bus was full of junior students who were going back home. They are so curious about us and kept on asking questions. They eyes were shining. And I can saw their soul were dancing. That's their beauty. Wish their beauty would be kept in their heart even after growing up to be an adult.

We are what we are by ourselves. not by others' comment.

Keep the faith


I cannot keep your waves.
Let me keep your footprints in my heart.

Prague is old but beautiful. Altought Bath and it are both old cities, you can feel their difference. Prague is powerful while Bath is silent. Prague just like a woman who has already experienced a lot but still keep the childhood heart. Her eyes are still shining.

Things in Prague are much cheaper, especially when comparing with the western European. Therefore, we ate a lot and brought a lot. We had a very good time in Prague.

Time passed and things gone. Some are forgotten while some are still being kept in people's heart. For Prague, her beautiful and wisdom is already rooted in the soul of her people. No one are take it out, even time can't. That's the shining light of the old Prague.

Perpetual value

That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.

Bath is a city where standing outside of the flow of times. Everything is in the traditional style which we saw in the film. I just felt like I've taken a time shuffle back to the past.

What was the people care about the most? What they dicussed with their neightbour and friends? Of course, "how to live" is the topic for everyone, no matter in the past, now or in the future, and no matter you are human or other animals (as humam is also a kind of animals). But, what should we think about other than how to live? We are human because we don't only care about food, but also other "intangiable" matter, such as love.

I do love the modern way of life as I am also one of the "computer animals". However, it seems like a digtial life is over everything in which we forget some important things, which differentiate us from other animals, gradually. New stuff is the result of improvement. But the old one still have their value. They are our reminders when we forget things.Stonehenge, which is actually some stone standing on a large piece of ground, plays this role.
