我所记得的日内瓦

在日内瓦的最后几天一直没有好好吃饭,总是胡乱找些东西搪塞了自己的肚子了事。最后一天我的胃实在无法忍受西餐了,强烈地渴望吃一点儿让自己觉得舒服的东西。于是我去到火车站旁边一家叫做“波计”的中餐馆,点了一份牛腩煲和一盘虾饺。即使在我的胃如此渴望中餐的时候,我也只能说那儿的中餐味道了了。结账前请waiter给添些茶水,打算在那里闲坐片刻。waiter来了句“成!”我好像已经多年没有听到“成!”了,觉得无比亲切。我问他是不是北京人,他说在那里呆过小十年。一个多月以后当我再回想日内瓦时,别的事情都很模糊了,只有这一句“成!”还清晰地印在脑海中。

另一段仍然记得的对话:也是在日内瓦的某一天,我去一家cafeteria吃晚饭,结账的时候cashier说:“%$□*#^%”法语啦,我自然是听不懂的。只好耸耸肩,告诉他说:“Sorry, I don't speak French.”于是cashier在一张小纸条上写下了价钱。这时候排在我后面的一位老先生说,“oh dear, you got to learn French. It is such a wonderful language!”“I know, but I think I am too old to pick up another language.”老先生和蔼地说:“oh no sweet heart, it won't be a problem to you. Even as old as I am, I can speak two languages ------ English and American.”:)

日内瓦这样一座名城在我的头脑中过了一个月以后就只剩了这三句半。

Very interesting!

Totally agree. Even though people typically make complicated travel plans to cover most historical sites in trips, it is not necessary to end up with a great trip. It seems to be true that the impression for the cities in trips will be cut down essentially to very few personal but interesting moments, regardless how many sites that you visited.
