Serendipity 3
Serendipity 3 (台灣有人翻成奇緣餐廳) 的門面毫不起眼，若不是已有人在門口排隊等待
(飄雪呢!)，很難相信這就是有名的Serendipity 3。好幾部電影都在這家店裡取景，包括
Serendipity (台灣翻成美國情緣) 。
我們到的時候，是開門前十分鐘，之後又陸續有人在門口聚集，於是一開門就把樓下坐滿了，有趣的是，桌桌都有拿相機拍照留念。小店是麻雀雖小五臟俱全，除了食物種類繁多，一進門處的櫥窗裡擺滿各式物品，全是賣的，甚至包括保養品哦! 很難想像吧!

Munich
聖誕節隔天，我們跑去看Steven Spielberg導的幕尼黑 (Munich) 。電影院是在Brooklyn，整個廳裡多是中老年人，值得順帶一提的是，Brooklyn住了很多猶太人。
片子的開始是1972年幕尼黑奧運時，十一位以色列運動員被綁架屠殺。之後男主角便被以色列政府找去組織暗殺行動，以對付計畫幕尼黑事件的巴勒斯坦人，整個電影就是圍繞著男主角一行人及他們的報復暗殺行動。有點像諜報片，更殘暴血腥就是，殘暴到男主角一行人質疑自己的行為，誠如片中的巴勒斯坦人強調，他們只是想要一個自己的國家。
事隔三十多年，國際間陸續訂定的約定，仍然不能保證以阿地區加薩走廊的和平。
事隔三十多年，全世界又歷經了多次恐怖襲擊，諷刺的是，全美國都在質疑美國政府對伊拉克展開攻擊的理由。

The Gates, Central Park
二月中旬，在中央公園內的步道裡，兩位藝術家Christo和Jeanne-Claude，指導數百位工作人員，架設起七千五百零三道橘色大門。每一道門框近五公尺高，披著橘色的布，底座則是靠重達數百公斤的不銹鋼塊支撐，布幔隨風飄揚，很是搶眼壯觀的。長達兩週的藝術展，吸引了紐約所有媒體的注目。

KING KONG
＂金剛＂是一個不折不扣的愛情故事。
為了愛，金剛甘願被捉；為了愛，金剛在紐約奔跑找尋，甚至送命。
為的當然是個如天使般的美女。
有趣的是，當金剛和敵人奮戰，全場觀眾多為之瘋狂，當金剛徒手打下第一架飛機時，竟有觀眾拍手叫好，而我卻擔心著地面上受傷及受驚嚇的民眾。而且，全場觀眾為之瘋狂的情形還很普遍呢！據說越大的戲院越投入越瘋狂。
也許金剛真像蜘蛛人一般，是深入美國人心的故事人物吧！

2005 rewinds -1
Lots of things happened in 2005. I ought to write some (at least to show some photos) in order to wrap it up. I'll skip some sad things though.
Chronically, the first news is that I got married in mid Jan, at Las Vegas. I need more time to write about this part though. I promise I'll do so before our anniversary.
Instead, this is about our first Valentine's Day as an married couple!

Window show @ Macy's
Macy’s 的主櫥窗是一本本巨大的立體紙雕書。乍看之下不起眼，駐足後
才發現一個個是約兩分鐘的聲光舞台秀，從書本緩緩打開，主角現身，
到佈景一幕幕變化，幾個紐約的著名景點，連時代廣場新年的大蘋果落
地，都濃縮在這幾個五彩繽紛的有聲立體書裡，難怪設計者說是給紐約
市民的聖誕禮物。

Memoirs of a Geisha
Yes, I did went to see "Memoirs of a Geisha".
I have to say that it's such an extreme experience for me. Half hour before the movie started, there had been a long line waiting to get in. Every seat in the room is taken. I actually saw someone climbing to get to the middle in order to reach the only seat left.
The movie is absolutely beautiful and I really enjoy the performance of the actors and actress. But I have to say it's weird to see them speaking English with accent while the whole story took place in Japan, not to mention there were some dialogue in Japanese without any English subtitle to confuse the audience even more. I know the problem is that the book was written in English to begin with. With the director being in american state of mind, there is probably no solution to this. I just think it's weird. The actors might as well speak perfect English ALL THE TIME so that this movie would be a typical Hollywood movie.
