In the last SIS class , the Volkswagen of America case , released , first time to me , that how marketing oriented is for this century-long auto maker highly respected for conscientiousness .

But I believe in one phase of its company history , techonology breakthrough / innovation could be major driver , no wonder beetles could be so popular for its rounded design and air-condition system. When comes the phase that automatic / safty / inner comfort system are standardized to all top tier makers , the marketing-focus which come naturally from consumer products dominated the company.

What is it mean to the Chinese auto maker ? Is BYD F3 success really because of its techonology advantage against domestic maker , Ghery QQ or Geely Free Cruiser or Geely Vision , or because it graspped the mixed market looking for B class car with economical price below 100k RMB ? Why Tian Ji won the hourse race? He first knew his advantages and disadvantages , bearing the lose and finally win overall game competing with his strangest part .

Here comes another question , is China auto market comes to the phase that marketing anchors the turning point ?

Beijing Airport , in a windy afternoon

虽然还是听到不开化的北京男人说‘我特烦上海人’还时不时加上一句，‘尤其是上海男人’；我还是喜欢上那座城市，或许是那座城市也特别偏爱我，每次去都将他最完美的一面展示给我，让我对他的喜爱像是一种神经质。

但是，北京的服务业不是一般的差距，距离香港。上个星期有太多时间待在酒店，所谓北京最高品质的酒店，很多的细节不比长沙的略低一些档次的, 而且这些差距不是硬件上的，比如，强词夺理说吹着冷风的吹风机是好的，害得我顶着一头湿达达的头发在初秋的大风里吹啊；钥匙锁在房间里，竟然没有上门服务而是要到楼下‘签字画押’；入住结帐的时候搞错我的帐号两次，差点要多扣10000的预授... 没有24小时转换插头，体重计上分钟显示47.3公斤，下分钟显示4***公斤，一早起来不死心，一称43公斤，无语。

不过，南锣鼓巷还是依旧的市井和新奇，每天早上看着映在蓝天中的各式各样现代建筑就咬牙切齿的计划第二天要早起看升旗，遗憾，最后也没有成行，每天马不停蹄10个会，1小时1个，再有晚宴的实在不适合第二天5点起床，也好，留下了再次访问的理由，或许也不需要理由。

SiChuan Cuisine Hei San Niang 

All the form of chillies with shrimp , with fish ... yum !

Simply Thai , I forgot to take pictures when the dishes are full ...

Paul Bakery in Dongping Rd., near HengShan Rd , the cheese cake tastes nice , but it is not affordable after Thai's lunch .

PuDong , the place granted a sense from Bei Jing . The sky is simply blue

Exhibition of Music Box , pity that photography is forbidden

It is for sale , but price tag is not there ... we were watching the ball rolling in front of us.

Sketches drew by the automative dolls ... the earliest printing robots

Coming back to Hong Kong , I was surprised to see the streets , starting from the central to the western side , are all filled with flags as well . I did not recognize it in the early morning when I left home , can be that it was too early . However , the flags in Hong Kong are colorful , blue , purple and yellow , as colorful as the skins , and as colorful as people's mind.

所有的颠沛流离，最后都由大江走向大海；

所有的生离死别，都发生在某一个码头。

上了船，就是一生。

All depressed and departure , will run through the river into the sea ;

All seperation and death , will happen in one pier.

On the boat , it means the life .

Have you heard about a male germant brand LiLang ？I bet 99% of those in mainland , including me , never did . But it has the most outstaning advertisement board opposite to SOGO , repo men Chen Daoming and Wu Yanzu . It was in YN's sales distribution that I first heard this brand , being so high profile because they are going for IPO in HK . Not surprise at all , like what Alibaba , Anta , BaWang , Belle ... did advertisement in HK since all fund managers are here . Good luck , hope Warren Buffet could get love into this brand , buying 2 suites out of his 10 . http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article6837925.ece

Who said that Chinese do not spend money but they save ? Post 80s , and 90s , ( who are close to 20 ! ) , they ( we ) know how to spend money , which can be outing for meals , travelling , shopping in HK , some of them regularly come to HK for shopping bags they could use for next 50 years. Most important thing they have a family , parents for a couple , to pay downpayment for them . I would doubt what the economists have predicted for next ten years in China .

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lucky

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved

The Blowers Daughter Closer Damien Rice

I was thinking ' Love in the Fallen City ' midst of the storm , maybe because when I first read the story , it was during a class in middle school , feeling the same nervous .

流苏到了这个地步，反而懊悔她有柳原在身边，一个人仿佛有了两个身体，也就蒙了双重危险。一弹子打不中她，还许打中他，他若是死了，若是残废了，她的处境更是不堪设想。她若是受了伤，为了怕拖累他，也只有横了心求死。就是死了，也没有孤身一个人死得干净爽利。她料着柳原也是这般想。别的她不知道，在这一刹那，她只有他，他也只有她。

Liu Yuan's existence regrets Liu Su under this circumstance in a sense he is the other body of her , and dual pressure on her . A bullet may not hit her , but it may hit him . In case he was dead for it , or got crippled , it got her even worse . In case she was injured , she would decide to end her life not to trouble him . But even if she dies , she cannot get as relieved as if she is still alone . She thought it is how Liu Yuan is thinking . She knows a little about other things, but at that moment . She simply has him and he simply has her.

Now I cannot say how much I loved literature , because it was more than ten years ago , when I was so keen on Shakespeares 14 line poems , or called Sonnet . My favorit one , the one I used for a presentation on a Chinese class as I translated it into Chinese and made it in the form on ancient Chinese poem . However , I cannot even remember what it is about.  I can find it some day.

Burned by 20-25 minutes , it is done by adding some crystal sugar and milk ,the taste are kind of mixed also , greenbean and millets are soft , almond gives you some challengers , but more fun , and sago changes the status into sticky .

Another masterpiece of mixure for dinner - shrimp , cabbage and egg Doufu , also the taste , which is spicy + katchup

I am not saying it might worth that amount of money for each class , but I still enjoy it a lot . It can be the school feeling that we can be pround of .

During this five weeks' break , there will be two assignments : learning Italian and practising sketching .
