The centerpiece of the Olympic Green is China's new National Stadium, nicknamed the "Bird's Nest" for its curving exterior of twiglike interlocking steel beams. The innovative design was crafted by Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron, in collaboration with Chinese architects. The stadium will host the main track and field competitions and men’s soccer, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.  



Also known as the "Water Cube," the National Aquatics Center is another architectural standout on the Olympic Green. The translucent exterior “bubbles” allow sunlight to filter in and sounds of splashing water to travel out. The Water Cube will host swimming, diving and synchronized swimming events, as well as the water polo finals.

Our world is full of wonders great and small, ancient and contemporary, natural and man-made. They fill us with awe through the sheer scale, radiant beauty, backbreaking effort and amazing inspiration that brought them into creation. Here are 11 marvels of the modern world that exhibit mankind’s industriousness and imagination.



Globe of Science and Innovation: This big ball of wood houses the visitors’ education center for the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Located outside of Geneva, Switzerland, the landmark structure of the organization is about the same size as the dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome. 300 feet below the surface lies the 17-mile tunnel complex that will become the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator — the Large Hadron Collider — which will hum to life later in 2008. 



Palm Jumeirah: The first and least audacious of the three Palm Islands in Dubai, UAE, the world's largest man-made islands, the Palm Jumeirah is an iconic development that heralds the future of the emirate as a beachside tourist destination. In the years since construction began in 2001, this island effectively has doubled the length of Dubai’s coastline.

什麼是干物女?

干物女(又稱魚干女),是日本超人氣漫畫「螢之光」創造出的新名詞,形容放棄戀愛與社交,懶散、悠哉是平日生活的重心,很多事情都很麻煩而湊合著過。因為沒有滋潤而漸漸乾枯,整個人就像是魚乾一樣,放空的晾著。

漫畫改編電視劇

日本把漫畫改編為電視劇,青春女星綾瀨遙主演的女主角雨宮螢,上班時是個穿著得體的OL,回到家卻大變身,穿著舊T恤和口袋破洞的寬鬆運動褲,懶散邋遢的攤在地板上,大口喝啤酒,累了隨手拿報紙就當棉被蓋了睡。緯來日本台譯為「魚干女又怎樣」,目前周一至周五晚間8點播出中。

事實上,干物女這個族群的確沉默又快速地擴張著,或許有人覺得這樣的生活很可悲,但是認為「這才是人生」的也大有人在,經過忙碌的一天,能找到讓自己最放鬆的方式過日子也不賴!

今天讀到米希亞來台的新聞
新聞中提到在北投的精品旅館
「三二行館」
因為好奇就去search
看到網友的評價還不錯~
想說下次回台灣也要和朋友去喝喝下午茶
我喜歡他們的concept: "低調的奢華!"

在search中,還看到「三二行館」在人力銀行的徵才廣告
看了職缺列表,有一個是"董事長特助"
原本還考慮是不是應該去試試...哈~
但他們要的是finance major, so I give up...

我的夢想是將來要蓋一間不錯的hotel
當然更有錢的話可以考慮開連鎖的
我也知道蓋旅館要花費很多錢
沒有個百萬身價是不可能的...
當然也可以找一些好野人來投資,還有跟銀行貸款.
雖然可能要花10-20年的時間
我會朝著這個方向努力滴!! Fighting!! ^^

羅傑斯帶著女兒樂樂看圖畫書,她看得津津有味。(商業周刊攝影●張家毓)

移居新加坡的投資大師羅傑斯,將他過去做為投資家和冒險家所學來的知識,寫成一封封的信,留給兩個女兒當作一生最珍貴的禮物。

你們的父親是位投資家,也是個勤奮的人,盡其所能得學習新知識來賺錢,所以才能在三十七歲時退休。我想告訴你們我從這些經驗中所學到的東西。

我是個鄉下來的孩子,一心想著如何賺到足夠的錢使自己自由自在、毋須聽人使喚。我五歲時就在棒球場撿空可樂瓶去換錢,這是我第一份賺錢的工作;六歲時就在球場中有自己的攤子。

最後我到了華爾街,在這裡我發現最佳的賺錢機會——竟然有人付錢給我發揮我的熱情,附加獎賞則是盡可能的認識這個世界。一旦賺夠足以讓我退休的財富,我就不再需要工作,也因此可以隨心所欲的環遊世界,並滿足我想知道世界是怎麼運轉的學習熱忱。

還是個孩子的時候,我就喜歡找事做,而且大多做得相當成功。但現在,這世界上能帶給我最大快樂的是我的家庭。我的最新探險,就是在二○○三年及二○○八年生的兩個寶貝女兒。為了妳們兩個,我要與妳們分享下面這些應該知道的重要事情,使妳們也能過成功的日子。
