ski resort in China

滑雪在欧美早已普及,在中国还是刚刚萌芽。我注意到最近两年来娱乐小报上对港台明星的报道里越来越多地提及“某某在。。。滑雪”的字样, 这个地方经常是中国北部某地。内地流行在小资圈内的一些时尚杂志也开始有对滑雪的记叙。我觉得这就跟汽车一样,国民生产值到了一个水平后肯定会发展起来。这个行业有大钱可捞。首先,国内现有的场地设备很差,跟欧美完全不在一个档次上。有两三个猾道就很拽了。这容易,把外国的一个标准场地照搬过来就行了-思想更新一下而已。其次,可以开辟中国特色的“一条龙”服务。滑雪,洗澡,搓背/按摩/修脚,吃,karaoke, 喝,麻将。这可是咱们的强项啊。这个会带动一系列的周边行业,服饰,器材。。。利润可以直追高尔夫了。

赶快圈地吧,有了地,其它都好说。

transparent leash for pets

it seems that in many places it's unlawful to walk your pets without the leash. If you are in Boston Common or Central Park in New York, you can see pets on lease everywhere. Poor little ones. I grew up with The Adventure of Tin Tin so deeply encraved in my mind pets like Snowy should be let go in the wild with no strings attached. It's always my dream to have a pet like Snowy that will follow me loyally without any form of enforcement and I would absolutely envy people who can do that.

Since that idea is pretty much outlawed, maybe we can come up with a transparent leash? From a distance, other people may not see the leash at all and they would think your pet just follows you blindly as they should always do. It probably takes some expensive material to make it but it's worthwhile for all those envious looks.

I haven't seen any pet with a transparent leash yet.
