胡主席說很想試試星巴克,如果並不礙於身份,他說很想嚐嚐祖國的星巴克。胡主席,北京的星巴克一點也不好喝啊。
(看著星巴克愈開愈多,由那天驚訝星記的大門從SOHO搬上堅道,灣仔稅務大樓對面開了一間,尖沙咀文化中心的美心快餐又變了星巴克,真的,很悶啊。)
新聞裡的胡主席戴上波音的棒球帽,又主動給老外來個擁抱。星巴克是美國的象徵,說愛喝星巴克就是主動向美國示好。胡主席好像一句英文也沒有說過,沒有了江主席的滑稽,多了一分了解民間現況的親和感。不過看看今天蘋果日報訪問幾個美國人對胡主席訪美的意見,都和香港人一樣,不甚了了,也有美國少女說不認識胡主席。
看國與國的會議,最悶的是來來去去都是客套話和「大話」 - 我的大話即是指from a very macro perspective,什麼「我們會加強合作」、「大家是友好伙伴」、「我們會朝互利互惠雙贏局面前進」,說了等於沒說,聽了等於沒聽啊。或者在電視機前思考一下,「建立建設性合作關係」與「推進戰略對話」的建設性和戰略之毫釐。
我知我知,細節會由細人在細房商討,大人會在大眾前說些大話。
其實這些對話真難為在會場內側耳傾聽的記者們。語言有時是需要放在歷史大框架下拆解之的。
中學時代學讀歷史,啟蒙點是從閱讀條約知兩國關係。不過這兩天的開心新聞是看Bill Gates的智能大宅和英女皇壽辰。我還特意去看那些關於英女皇的有趣小資料,真的蠻有趣呢,例如她早餐吃的粟米片是用美製的Tupperware盛載和她受過蝸牛殼做禮物。
那天在大學學教書,播放一段亞視國際台的新聞片段,新聞無端端在途中剎有介事話有段精彩片段,原來是土耳其賽車時有車剷入人群,好,慢鏡重播一次 – 但係旁白無解釋事情後果喎,就這樣播了兩次跑車撞入人叢中。這一節加上美國奧克拉荷馬洲有女童被人吃了的新聞,獲得比伊斯坦堡爆炸更早的編排。騎呢過英女皇收到的蝸牛殼。
主席和Bush恰恰就是供應商和大買家的關係。主席老遠的走去和人家SO SO 給些甜頭人家;係個很捧的推銷兼公關!
回覆刪除中國的巿場也很大丫!不知可年可月森姆叔叔會掉轉來跑到中國去獻媚。

well, americans have nothing. what is freedom? i don't feel they're freer than anyone else in the world. free to experiment drug and sex? free to drive drunk in the middle of the night?

星加坡的FRAPPUCINO最好喝
回覆刪除可能因為那是首次喝星巴克吧
在回憶裡加了分
日本的偏甜
我還以為你是星巴克粉絲呢
你去上課時總會喝一杯
"Nixon in China" - 1972.
回覆刪除Personally I cannot in good conscience enjoy Starbucks on any regular basis. I cannot tell my kids, "Sorry Daddy is not able to pay for your college education because I spend $3 on a cup of fancy coffee every day." And I drink more than one cup a day.
Here is a funny or offensive to some, video from youtube: a guy's strong opinion on a $7 coffee and pound cake from Starbucks. Warning: strong language and expletives, but nothing you have never heard before.
據《我姐姐是位咖啡師傅》(p.96)frappucino的(frapp)是法文的「冷」加上cappuccino一字而成。frappucino 在1995年的夏天正式推出,在推出的第一年共賣出5,200萬美元(佔當年總營業額的7%。
回覆刪除我係星記既fans,所以我知道香港星記我最愛既飲品short latte一杯$22,港大$14,北京個價都係差唔多,我響北京機場臨別依依都飲左杯。有儲單習慣既我今次竟然老貓燒鬚,北京機場隻紀念紙杯洗乾淨仍放在枱頭,但張單就唔見左啦。我有睇laichungleung個post,所以知埋美國買3蚊美金一杯,同埋美國有條茂李係咁用粗口鬧佢囉。為了解答破破爛爛既問卷,我仲專登上大陸個星記網然後發現係上唔到既!北京星記同香港星記同新宿星記既味係完全唔同,愚見認為因為牛奶唔同,所以可以由此推斷,三間星記既三文治都係唔同。北京星記一份鴨胸三文治響前年暑假賣RMB$14,而香港星記舊年登陸香港五週年先偷偷加價炸。
回覆刪除咁,你話我係唔係粉絲先﹖
不過而家周街都係,唔馨香囉。
咁我衰咩呢,嗱,辛尼哥哥,我豪俾你,我無買我姐姐是位咖啡師傅,只有佢大老細出果本,係咁多啦。
金子、牛,如果你地今日有睇蘋果日報例牌唱衰章子怡,話佢淨係有得企響白宮草坪但無得好似關麗珊咁坐響殊仔隔離,就知,
讀多d書、見多d場面,真係好重要嫁。
only talks about starbucks
回覆刪除響閣麟街開咗間(即係中環行人天橋下,威靈頓街對上)
文化中心啲美心系食肆上年年尾執過次(果陣響美心做過幾日),而starbucks響香港既partner就係美心, so...

回覆刪除well, i thinking being born in what sort of a family is more important than how much you work or study.
回覆刪除bush went to yale and harvard. and he's the center of attention no matter what bullshit he's giving.
i believe far more people study and work harder than people who get into the ivies. yet if you're from the president's family, probably you can go to mars.
the so-called democratic system resembles a lot of the feudal system. the rules of the game may have changed. the outcomes can be similar.
冇呀見 eggsplash 講開 frappucino 所以發牙恨.
回覆刪除其實我都是星巴克粉絲,每日唔飲過唔安樂.
有次去上海新天地,見到星巴克即克走入去,點知價錢和香港一樣.頭先餐飯都唔洗五十蚊,但兩杯latte就$56,反而有點肉痛.
辛尼哥哥,你都幾富貴喎…
回覆刪除牛,the tyranny of democracy, the rich, the learned and the powerful rules the world.....i don't 100% believe in democracy but i do believe that it's already a better political solution.
But what is democracy anyway?
i don't know. i don't study politics. it can be a myth.
回覆刪除when we have nothing, we say, we have freedom!
like, when i'm hungry and cold and sick and dying, i am chosen. i am saved. i go to heaven.
it's not wrong to have faith in sth. it's just a faith.

回覆刪除以粉絲來說, 你仲未夠盲目。^_^
