(New!) Munich museums (最新版）慕尼黑的博物館

Looking for something to do in Munich City on Sunday? When Bayern-Munich football team is not playing in town, the City is much quieter and there aren't too many things left (shops are closed on Sundays everywhere on Sundays), so museums are a good choice. Besides, museum entrance fees are only 1 euro compared to 9 euros on other days - that's a pretty good bargain! So prospective visitors, you know how to plan your time in Munich and don't complain that there's nothing to do on Sundays!

星期日在慕尼黑有何可幹？遇上拜仁慕尼黑作客，所有商鋪都關門休息（全德國亦然），街道便格外冷清，唯有博物館仍開放可以逛逛，而且入場費由平時9歐元減至1歐元，當然是超值之消閑活動！如果他日來慕尼黑，記得好好安排時間，免得星期日悶呆！

Now you know why so many people were waiting to enter!
怪不得等入場時大排長龍了。

Antikensammlungen (Antiques Collection Museum)
古代文物博物館

02-04-2006

German archeologists worked hard and unearthed many ancient Greek handicraft items that are now housed in this Museum. There are also sculptures but they are mainly replicas from other museums (mainly Rome and Athens).

館內不少古希臘手工藝品，皆由德國考古學家發掘，雕塑大多是由羅馬和雅典的博物館複製。

Travel advisories 旅遊忠告

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues travel advisories for all countries in the world, and the list is nothing short of exhaustive. Obviously Hong Kong’s perpetual air pollution gets a mention (and it touched the nerves of the local media), as well as the haze that descends upon Singapore between July and October. But Australian major cities are not totally spotless in regard to air pollution. Last Saturday I was quite surprised by the reduced visibility on the roads when driving under the broad daylight of noon. Since it was not supposed to be a foggy day, the only possibility was a haze or smog of some kind. I never thought that it could occur on a day with lighter traffic like the weekend. The lab where I am working now is located on the 8th floor of a hospital building adjoining the main building of the research institute, and we have to go through an outdoor stairway whenever we want to enter or exit the main building. The stairway offers an unhindered vi...

A nosy foodie 隔鄰飯香

My colleagues usually bring their own lunch to work and we gather in the tea room for lunch every day. When I have lunch together with the Chinese group, we all like to peek into each other’s lunch boxes, sing praises of each other’s food and exchange a few cooking tips. But when I sit with the locals, we hardly pay attention to, let alone comment on, other people’s food (although I still carry the bad habit over from the Chinese group!) I guess that’s partly because there isn’t so much to talk about on sandwiches or the standard fare from the hospital canteen, and partly because it’s probably only kids who are so nosy about other people’s food! One of my colleagues is a mother of two and both children are attending primary school. In their school, pupils are only allowed to have lunch in classrooms under supervision so that they won’t be able to swap food and eat something wrong in so doing (especially food that triggers allergy or other undesirable reactions). With so many people cro...

Signs of modern China 看標語，知國情

My trip to mainland China allowed me to have an appreciation of what's going on in this vast country, although it may not be very deep in such a short time. 這次到國內一遊，除了遊山玩水外，也可瞭解一下國情——那管祇是匆匆一瞥，不是太深入。 The slogans and government advertisements offered glimpses into what life was like and the concerns of the populace in the various places we visited. Interestingly, the focusses were all different depending on the part of the country, according to my local friends. 祇要留心四周的標語和宣傳，大概對不同地方的民情和關注的社會問題都可以略知一二。當我嚮導的朋友說，在國內不同地方的題材都有所不同。 On our way from Shanghai to Xitang , we changed buses in Jiashan County which was full of publicity for the military. We wondered why that was; could it be that there were many military personnels living there? 從上海往西塘，在嘉善縣倒車時，到處都看到支持軍隊的宣傳，究竟是不是那裡軍人較多？ Translations: Top left - wide, deep and continued effort to support the military, care for relatives of the personnels, support the government and care for the ordinary people. Top right - your love for the count...
