Starting from Paris, the sky rolled up with thick clouds, the summer haze is as always. Way to Brussels, the clouds did not have the slightest sign of abating, even dripped up a sporadic drizzle. Already arrived in Amsterdam at night, the air is moist and cool, and seemed to remind you of having entered this country in the lowlands below sea level. Looking at the sky, thick clouds floating in the air have long ago disappeared, leaving only the stars shining within the sky.

Early the next morning, we started to go to the windmill village outskirts, the weather is surprisingly good. Travel needs with the cooperation of the weather, but every time my travel journey, seems to have that bit of luck; I do not mean that every trip has blue skies. But in my opinion, a number of different regions or different topics, before I have read a lot of information about it in the book, when imagine its look always accompanied by a kind of weather to form a specific scenery, perhaps this is the generation of the so-called stereotype impression. Came to the windmill village, the sky and white clouds had been wiped into a thin layer, the sun shone through the gap. Such a picture even deepened my long-standing impression of the stereotype of the Dutch windmill. I told myself at heart: “Yes, the Dutch windmill should have the look like this.”

Passed a small wooden bridge, we entered the small village along the lake which is dotted with a dozen windmills from the building, all of which looked the same as those have seen in the pictures before many times. Before the small Netherlands was dotted with tens of thousands of the windmills, but with the advent of industrialization, today there has been very few survived. The windmills in the village, naturally have lost its use as a tool before, but after the repair have been put in this new place to satisfy the curiosity of visitors from various quarters.

By the small street on the other side of Windmill, there is a pasture surrounded by a small wooden fence, dotted with dozens of lovely sheep, as long as the tourists beckons, and a few will come to the fence slowly. The other side of the lake is a gathering place for residents of the village, by the shore there are chic Dutch village houses, even have interpreted the rural life of the Dutch village more than the windmills.

Pamir in ancient Persian means ” flat roof. ” It is the mother of Asia, the real roof of the world. For ” the mountain is tall, with many green onions, ” so it is also called ” onion roof “. Several large mountain ranges: the Hindu Kush, Himalaya, Karakoru , the Kunlun and Tianshan Mountains are having the center here to open the distribution all around the sides.

White Sand Mountain

Along the State Road 314 on the Pamirs to continue to drive forward, there is a beauty needed to be mentioned, that is, ” Sand Mountain reflection “- white sand hill and floating sand river.

White sand hill is only 460 meters high and stretches 1,200 meters length. However, whenever a breeze blows, white sand mountain will beep, and so became known as the ” ringing of sand hill. ” And the white sand hill near the two lakes, having lush water grasses, and water birds gathering together, added some fraction of fresh vitality for this white mountain.

There has the fine wind and quiet water, the river like a mirror, while clouds like snow. Looked from a distance, and against the background of the Castle Peaks afar and green grasses closed by, the world is vast, towering and majestic, the silver white soft sand likes the baby’s skin, making you feel excited. It is said there is ” Journey to the West ” here, millions of years good luck in the world, leaving people endless reverie and imagination.

Muztagata Snow Peak

Muztagata probably is the most longed for peak on the Pamirs by people. The reputation of ” the father of glaciers ” has already firmly embedded in the minds of the world’s backpackers.

Muztagata and Kara Curry Lake are tightly ” bundled ” together, which are located in Kashgar Quwang Taxkorgan the ” Pakistani road ” side. Sky is as washing, while water likes a mirror, reflecting the muztagata, public Eagle Hill andEagle Mountain etc these series of snow-capped mountains, making people sigh:  this spot should only be in the sky.

Thes three mountains are 7,000 meters above sea level that have a more ambitious ” posture “, Muztagata ’s ” physique ” is especially the most perfect. It is a soothing and majestic arch, and Japan’s Mount Fuji, is somewhat similar, no wonder many Japanese tourists especially love this mountain. In the ancient Silk Road, here is the natural barrier going through the westbound, then Master Xuan Zang once bypassed the North-South respectively from Western Muztagata mountain.

Great Wall is winding toward the bottom, and from the other side to come forward, forming another impasse of Great Wall – Underwater Great Wall.

Of March each year the school will organize tours to other European countries, the spring of 2008 the school organized to go to the Irish, and last year was to the fashion capital of Paris. Choice is largely due to Paris has a significant position in Europe, but we also have French courses, so there is a French teacher and our colleagues will be convenient.

This year we were to the UK, but did not go to London, because many students have been to before, while Oxford has one of the world’s best universities – the University of Oxford, the teacher took us to Oxford also to feel the cultural atmosphere.

The teacher asked us at the time in Denmark on March 1st at 4 o’clock in the morning to the school gate when the time is set, and I have to climb out of blanket back in 03:20, and ride on a set taxi then. Only 6 km of road actually spent 100 yuan in RMB ! Really distressed the wallet’s silver.

Never thought I was the first to reach the school, so after a few minutes the students had continued to come one after another, when all students were in attendance at 4:10. Our class had 18 people, counting two teachers a total of 20 people. We planed to drive by the five parents sent us from the school gate than the London Airport (Billund airport), the distance of nearly 100 kilometers, while the parents were off duty for us to spend a lot of valuable time and petrol prices, but did not ask us to take any fees, so we were very grateful for their help.

Da Bilun time to the airport around 5:30 in the morning. After a security check into the airport in the after, we went to the lounge. I and other Chinese students in the boarding time had some small problems. Because we needed a visa to Britain, while we got from our class teacher for a group visa on that all was well. But we were not the same as two other students, because they were EU countries’ when clearance was not so strict, the results were that they received the customs officers “special treatment “, but in the end it was smooth for us to catch a flight to London.

Blueberry is one of the fruits native to the America. To tell the truth, in 2002 before went to the United States,  I really do not know actually what fruits are blue in the world. The first time to eat blueberries was those my sister bought from the supermarket. As I am interested in all kinds of berries, I had fell in love with it. Fresh blueberries, blueberry ice cream, I had a big eat of them.

Later, my sister has been talking about that we can go to their local farm picking strawberries, blueberries, but until June 2009, I really fulfilled my wish. The reason to skip the California part of the United States Travels to mention blueberries picking-up was because they stimulated my sister over the phone. Colder weather this year, after their return to the United States actually have a lot of blueberries, so they went home to do pick up a lot of blueberry jam, dried blueberries, making me really jealous.

Blueberry production season according to different geographical location and varieties, from mid-April to early October, the peak harvest is in July, so July is known for National Blueberry month. However, according to my sister, northern Florida and Maine blueberry is very different from tastes to shapes.

During blueberry mature season, many farms will have open time slots, known as “U-pick”. That is, to go to the farm on your own, freely pick up. The berries are weighed and the money is counted when leaving. The general price is 1.5-3 USD / lb, the division of blueberries is according to whether they are organic, prices are almost the same as supermarket. My sister chose a organic farm online, price of 2.5 dollar / pound, phone call to confirm open and then bring the two children and I to go to pick blueberries.

Walked into the farm, houses are surrounded by trees, having a very Southern feeling. After stopping and greeting the farmer, take with plastic barrels provided by them, we begin to pick up blueberries. The farm is very considerate, and there are kegs specially prepared for the children to hang in the front of themselves, so that children have a sense of participation.

Blueberry is a kind of shrub, plants are not high, so children can easily pick up the fruit. Picking up here, nobody would care, you are happy to select the most ripen and soft blueberries you want the most. You can also pick up while eating, no money costs. At beginning you will think about eating habits, have to eat till your fill up fully. However after picking up you discover that, in fact, you did not eat it all, you are laboring! Ripen ones often falls to the ground on the touch. But the ground is also very clean, picked up into the bucket, the taste is usually the best.

Forget to bring mosquito repellent water, MAX suffer mosquito bites, and then hastily ended picking trip. During the weighing time chat with farmers, I said I have not seen this fruit in China. Man of the house is very positive that there are them in northern China. After came back and I checked, there does have the wild in the Northeast China. At present it also Introduces many cultivated varieties from the United States. Now the blueberries sold in the supermarket, I do not know if they are the ones imported from the U.S.or domestically planted.

In addition to blueberries, we also talked about the BlackBerry. I said I have never seen such berries. Hostess was very enthusiastic to pick up four for us to taste. This is also the native berries, and a bit similar to raspberries, but solid. Sister later said that the farm was bought by a professor at the University of Florida with his retirement money; and so we were talking about all kinds of berry fruit, clearly and logically. In the near Gainesville, a lot of retired professor of Agriculture are all like doing so, buying a piece of land to grow some crops, to keep some things to do, while retire and rest.
