"Do you miss Farnham?"


那天從London回Canterbury時天色早已黑透了,在路上順道去了Sainsbury買了兩瓶可樂,結帳時碰巧遇到Halo,雖然我們一起從Farnham搬到了Canterbury,但他是BA的學生所以通常也不會見到,他用那在Farnham時慣用的熱情跟我打招呼,我們穿過停車場走到緊鄰Great Stour河旁的小路,他往左我往右,我們互道再見後往反方向離開,走了幾步後他叫住我


Halo:"Do you miss Farnham?"

我:"Yes, I do."

[PSEAD]Friday, London, Southbank, raining day

Milliennium Bridge

To London, I always have a  expect image about this city, history, art, culture, Sherlock and Thames River, this is my third time to London and first time so close to Thames.

Walk through Southbank, under London Bridge, there have two different museum located there, Design Museum and Tate Modern, design one and art one.

Design Museum

Design museum display a lot of product, designed stuff, media, technology around our life, you can see the newest invent and idea of this world, something interesting, creatively, and disable helpful.

Tate Modern

The Tate Morden collect more fine art work, a lot of gallery to show different art topic, and the wonderful thing is the amazing interior, clean but atmosphere, the route between these two museum with wonderful river scene, and in my opinion, the most English thing in that day is the lightly rain.

[PSEAD] be a maker


Nowadays people own a lot of knowledge from books, website and everywhere, knowledge become easy to get, but people forget to create to think to invent events from regular life.

The documentary 'maker' told people how interesting and important for make something by yourself, they said maker movement is third industrial revolution, the revolution can change the world again.

The film encourage  people make new things by tools, means you have to create by hands, I think it's can really inspired people to consider how and what methods to solve problems we have.

Because when you try to make some device to improve the world, you will find more opportunity and more idea of the process and methods, this is a sense of create value, to develop material and technique.

[PSEAD]Ai-WeiWei Never say sorry


'We have a lot of cats and dogs, out of the 40 cats, one know how to open doors, if I never meet this cat that can open doors, I would never know cats could open doors.' - Ai-WeiWei
我們養了很多狗和貓,40隻狗裡面,有一隻會開門,如果我從未見過那隻貓開門,我永遠不會知道貓還會開門。 -艾未未

This sentence really inspires me, I think it was talked the situation about civil rights activist in the People's Republic of China, In my opinion, contemporary China civil rights like a door that never be opened, so people do not know the door is can be opened and why they should do it.
這句話讓我印象非常深刻,我認為這句話描繪了人權運動在中國的處境,當代中國人權自由在某種程度上就像一扇不曾開過的門,所以人們不會知道這扇門是可以開的,更不會去想為什麼需要開這扇門。
