Globalization makes London no difference from any other world metropolitans. Of course, there are still the Big Ben, the Hyde Park and many other landmarks which are unique to London and England.
The car rental area in the London Hawthorn Airport are dominated by the US big names, the National, Hertz and Avis. The roadside eateries service are dominated by Burger King, KFC, Starbucks (that is right, two Starbucks). Where are the fish and chips, I wondered?
As we drove north to Scotland, we stopped by Oxford. Here, going up and down the learned corridors and halls of fame, my mind, somehow was wondering in Cambridge and North Western.
第一天晚上,我們入住 Airth Castle Hotel. 這是一間半附屬一座老堡壘的三星半旅館,環境算是很幽美,有很多安靜的叢林小徑。
餐廳在一金字塔型玻璃屋下, 晚上九時了,天還是亮,蔚藍的天空襯著中古時代油畫般的白雲, 天空美麗極了, 在這樣的環境氣氛下用餐, 真是一種享受。
這麼偏僻的地方也來了一大堆中國遊客,身為中國人,心中滋味難以形容。 既為中國人大國堀起而驕傲, 但那種小國國民的行為亦有點狄狄於懷。
今天早餐,同樣在玻璃屋簷下, 看到一位年青侍者勤快地勞動, 打掃、安排杯碟,流露著一片平和安祥, 好像一生人的願望就是把今天的工作做好。也像說一生人在這環境優美的小填過一生,多好, 何須汲汲營營的打算張羅? 香港人從來不是這樣的。
