比薩斜塔慢跑記
Jogging around Torre di Pisa
國中物理課學自由落體運動的時候，老師會舉出伽利略在比薩斜塔以鐡球做自由落體實驗，以證明不同質量的物體受到的地心引力加速度（重力加速度）是一樣的。從那個十三、四歲的孩子開始，就看著物理課本的圖片憑空想像比薩斜塔的模樣，雖然常從照片上和影片上看到，雖然伽利略可能也並沒有在這裡做這個實驗，但仍無損比薩斜塔在我們心中的印象。所謂百聞不如一見，能夠和家人一起親眼看見它斜斜地杵在教堂後面的綠茵地上，心中的感動彷彿召回了國中上課時拄著臉憑空想像的那個三分小平頭的學生。今天當然是緣分殊勝，結足了十方因緣才能和這斜塔相遇在這樣的時空中。
一行人在八點多到了比薩塔觀光點，我突然想：人生能有什麼機會在這兒好好慢跑一回呢？於是就在教堂、受洗堂和斜塔區內開始慢跑繞行，也替自己做個不一樣的慢跑紀錄。
比薩買的義太利帽子。
殺價買來，告訴小販我是中國人，這時候是很認同中國人的。
風景區當然小販雲集，來到義大利已經三天了，我束之高閣、久已不用的義大利文也漸漸回來了不少，已經可以和小販用義大利文溝通和殺價了。七塊歐元的帽子，可以用八塊錢買二頂，同團的人也要我幫忙一塊殺價，除了慢跑之外還有這樂趣。後來在皮革店，一件小牛皮皮包打七五折是324歐元（1歐元等於43台幣），我和店員商量300塊行不行，店員就叫老闆來，我和老闆說：「會說義大利話應該可以算300塊了，就當請喝咖啡好了。」老闆和女店員講了二句話，就說，「您會說義大利話，好吧！就三百。」我們旅行團的導 遊 小姐看的讚嘆不已，因為七五折後已是不二價了。後來回台灣兒子還笑說，老闆說請喝了很多杯咖啡了！
早晨太陽很大，不過不是很熱，加上遊客還不多，所以在教堂區慢跑真的是很愜意，同時又為自己添一筆世界慢跑遊的記錄。繞了幾圈後，時間也到了，就幫家人拍拍照，準備去下一個景點了。
推斜了比薩塔，遊人都在玩這遊戲。
人生的緣分大多如此，就像天際流星的交會，瞬間而來、剎時消逝，總讓人覺得來去匆匆，有些不捨又有些情何以堪的感慨，或許以揮揮衣袖不帶走一片雲彩的灑脫，才能在緣盡分離時不會因依依不捨而心中難過，可是人世間又有誰能做到這樣的瀟灑呢？所以當我回眸望向斜塔時，心中充滿依依，心裡想著：「下回來，一定要在塔旁草地上睡上一覺，喝足二杯咖啡再走。」
前一個晚上是老婆的生日，我好幾天前就偷偷地訂好了生日蛋糕，在吃飯時來個Surprise，餐廳人員用手推車推到餐桌前，演唱台上同時唱起了生日快樂歌，這樣也算是過了一個浪漫的義大利式的生日了。

I sing the Birthday Song in English always
Although I'm in Hong Kong at the Cantonese community, I like to sing such song in English.
How about you Tian Tian Brother, did you sing it in Mandarin？ Or in English？
[版主回覆07/13/2011 12:44:36]Hi Hong Kong brother..
I like to sing in English, Mandarin and also in Korean..because Korean pronouced as :生日 祝賀Habnida and ending with "我最心愛的你, 生日祝賀hab ni da...." I like that meaning...
Dear Brother Tian Tian,
Once I have some schoolmates who came from Korea,
I learned a few words in Korea from those schoolmates.
Following is another Korean words :
" Com-Sar-Hum-Meda" It means "Thank you".
[版主回覆07/14/2011 09:07:47]" Com-Sar-Hum-Meda"
you are the best!!!
人家一頂帽子賣7歐元，您用8歐元就可買兩頂。真的不簡單，
「躺在塔旁的草地上睡一覺，喝足二杯咖啡」
很難嗎？為什麼當下不做？還是總要留個下回再去的理由？
[版主回覆07/14/2011 05:02:28]小魚兒：
旅遊團每個點都停留很少的時間，所以只夠拍照而已。
想要在一個點停留久一點，只有自助旅行才辦的到。
所以等下次了。。。
When I was going to Milan Italy,
I saw there were too many Chinese young men and young women,
I think that they have come to Italy by illegal way, and stayed behind,
most of them were the people for Fujian Province of China Mainland.
They were selling some Chinese artcraft and sythetice silk made muffle.
Tian Tian Brother, did you have seen such people in Italy? Or else where in Europe?
[版主回覆07/14/2011 09:10:15]Dear Brother :
Seems like they are everywhere all of the world, so certainly , I met those people in every city...
Those people are struggle for better life only , I think!!
早安
對外 精明能幹
對內 溫柔貼心
大喝一聲: 好~~~

回喝一聲，Good Morning!!
精明不如糊塗，貼心不如放心，山東人的我，二樣都將將夠分及格而已。
Review to the history of China for the past 100 years,
there were so many revolutions occurred,they were serious impacted the economic and political.
After the year 1949, China Mainland has had occupied by the Communist Party,
hence China becomes worse.
Although, the economic has a big leap improvement.
People still not to believe the Communist Party.
They would rather gone to the foreign countries illegally
to struggle for the better living, both political and economic reasons.
Recently, China Mainland occurred to the "Trust Crisis".
People do not trust in Communism any more, they would rather believe in God.
Therefore, the Christian have bulky increased both for Catholic and Protestant.
Because, they do believe that God can save China, but the Communist Party can not.

Today because of Marx, tens of millions human were killed , tortured, and many of them lived in pathetic way all their lifetime.
If we said Marx is evil should not too over...
下回我們一起在天涯海角某個點約好了一起度假去？ [版主回覆07/14/2011 15:29:52]
You got it!!
For sure...
不愧是發起文藝復興的義大利，
白蛋糕綴以白洋結梗，
巧克力瀟灑的勾勒幾筆，
煞是浪漫唯美，
希望味道不會太甜膩，
嚐過幾次朋友帶回的歐洲糕點，
甜到讓人頭暈！
春城何處不飛花，
[版主回覆07/15/2011 00:04:04]天天大哥是，
天涯何處不慢跑，
加油啊！
雪泥鴻爪、人生到處‧‧‧
羊皮卷晚安：
讓妳說中了，真的甜的讓人發暈。
天涯何處不慢跑，就像Gam Forest一樣，天涯海角的跑，心中總想著什麼。
人生何所似？雪泥鴻爪而已！
走遍世界各處，不如泡一壼碧螺春，回甘茶香時，觀荷聽風賽神仙。
