巴黎沙灘 - Paris Plages 2008

在塞納河畔的人造沙灘昨天又再開始服務市民一個月。今天陽光普照，引來大量曬太陽和玩沙的人，場面非常熱鬧！
The man-made beach by the side of the Seine river was opened yesterday for one month for the enjoyment of the people. The sun is beautiful today, and it attracted a lot of people to there for sunbathing and playing with the sand. What a lively scene!

休閒星期天 – A leisure Sunday

快樂原是分享！Happiness only real when shared!

一段大家都懂的話，但也不妨重溫一下！
We all know the message, but it is good to look at it again!

The Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined our car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.....

'Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.'

無頂汽車 – Topless car

無頂兼半門，不知是新款還是小偷手下留情！
Topless with half the door – not sure if this is a new style, or a victim of the thief.
