Fête de lumière yesterday was the busiest day.
The day before yesterday I had some good Juliee them yesterday and then went to see the light, listening and speaking activities is very rich. So yesterday afternoon, more than 6 points for supper, we set off to Emilie and Olivier's House. They sit there for a while, 7 point we take MTR to Vieux Lyon. Vieux Lyon, Lyon's old town is the seat of the famous St. John's Cathedral, on Fourvière Hill, the tramway are all here. At Valmy when saw some other sill lit a row of candles, scattered light that has come of the night looked calm and gentle. When we take MTR, immediately felt more than ever, because we are the second Valmy station is a station, generally in the evening the whole carriage is no more than 10 individuals, but yesterday it almost all the seats were filled with people. Everyone is wearing a purse, a lot of people out with your beloved dog, the children sit in their seats, it's not like the national holiday of the children is so excited and happy. The Vieux Lyon, Metro station was flooded with people — the entire evening we learned to France after most of the crowd, and Millennium night of Nanjing Road and Xujiahui comparable, we feel is Lyon all clustered into three zones of Vieux Lyon Bellecour and the municipal square, came, and saw the usual almost do not see the police and the police. But here's one more let us very bearable, because no one wants to compete with crowding, as we all move forward by order waiting in line, Lyon City Administration also arranged a large number of staff in the subway, tramway, Harbour Plaza to maintain order, it does not make me feel crowded troubled.We first came to St. John's Cathedral, the church doors in the open layout of a big yellow big Ant, staff also climbed down to decorate it with, or in the evening's program will act as a kind of roles.
We line up to enter the Church, which is full of people, we also went over a person spends 10 francs bought just plug in a blank sheet of paper folded into the shade of white candles, sitting in the back seat. Soon there was a young priest in white with lighted candles to long for a lit candle a. The Church front lights, I was thinking of neck look magnificent ornament, but do not know the white Red Hat priests say what, everyone stood up, Europeans a personal high horse, like I'm in China but also short stature, impassable barrier over the preceding layer to see the front sight. I had to make candles in hands, go to the priest to do mass and choir singing. The song is beautiful, two male voice singing a bright and peaceful deep hymn tunes, a group of harmonious soft female voice behind gently and, with pipe organ playing, there surprising mood clarify effects. Half an hour, people began to leave the Church, we as people went to church on the square. We know that starting from 7: 30, the crowd will depart from here, walk along the uphill driveway to the mountain of Fourvière Basilica. I saw the square is full of candlelight, the House next to the square on the window sill have lit a candle, rows of people feel Holy and warm. After a while, we started to walk to the mountain. There are some personal back speakers, each about 100 meters, you will stop reciting a segment about the Bible prayer, then everybody sing hymns and then forward, a way to see several dial such a handful of people, in their side always gathered a group of people. We are a bunch of "Pagan" didn't understand what they were saying, singing, but out of respect for religion, and we are not just whisper loudly, and those who also won't stop people together, more than they went to the mountains. Some people, it may be that the newspaper and television reporters, carrying a camera equipment, microphone or camera, shoot a photo and the camera, and interviews with people in the team. May participate in such activities is very rare in the East, they gave the camera a few times at us. Our French is still very poor, but also really not Catholic, so direct to worry that they will come to interview us, so when a girl holding a microphone asked me: "can speak French?" and I quickly responded, "only a little bit, a little bit. "Everyone smiled, laughed very kind, very happy.After approximately 45 minutes of walking, we finally arrived at Fourvière Basilica.
The Church was hit on the blue and silver light, looks deep secluded pure, also next to the high standing of the golden statue of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Sunglass brilliant. Because the Church's liturgy is not over yet, we were stopped at the door. For nearly half an hour, people began to put an end to mass queuing up, walked about half an hour to walk outside, it's essential for people to turn in. We handle the candles in the Church entrance candlestick, sit on the second row, ready to take a good look at a field mass. The day before Halloween I have ever visited Fourvière Basilica, at that time had to lobby the strokes, on both sides of the colourful murals that deep admiration. But the Church comparison Dim light, haven't been able to observe carefully the front of the Church. Now there countless lights burning bright light, candle lit the numerous, put the centre symbolises the Virgin Mary statues had shone resplendent, next to the pattern, sculpture shining golden light, I am amazed. Waiting for a long time, the mass hasn't started yet. We began to worry about mountain performance activities, anxious for a mass start we'll withdraw halfway will certainly not fit, so after some struggle, we decided to give up going down the Hill. So very embarrassed in full view of the left seat, slipped out of the Church, consoled to those against a wall next to the stand up seat of monks also merit a piece. When our team of six people have been dissolved, we three girls together, the three boys did not know where to run.Wait for the cableway of overcrowding, but orderly.
A car after we reached the top of the second car, Came to the Hill. From the Vieux Lyon Bellecour square and along the Saône River Zoo, everywhere there are Arabs pendulum carnivorous, BBQ sale last time we ate at the Arab markets clips of mutton. We do not, by and large the index finger and Emilie Juliee helplessly watched was on the phone with me. I know they mean — who have no money, looking to have 90 francs I bought for them. I smell the fragrance also have traveled, and let the Arab guy help we do three, two greedy little devil not only to clamp mutton, adding a toasted aroma overflowing of sausages, I let the LAD in three clips cake on a sausage, finally, I asked him how much money, he said: "three, mutton with sausage, 120 francs. "I'm shocked, really embarrassed smile he said:" but I only 90 francs. "He laughed, and said:" just 90 francs. "So I put in my pocket all the money out to him, the way sound:" good night. "Think of the Arab guy really knows how harmony. Domestic some businessmen in Festival overcrowding, if you run into me such customers, mostly to I called back.We are happy to eat a fragrant mutton with cake, Bellecour square, the roads are still encountered Li Li Yu, the Forte and see what we are eating, they joke that we must be deliberately Jiang Qian, they dumped.
Come to the square, it appears that the show has ended, people are packed with equipment and other equipment. The bronze statue of Louis XIV around happy crowd, he saw his people's descendants are so happy, must also be very comforting. We walked around Bellecour square a few laps, and so just give me a call to play together, but find that Jacqline for a long time didn't find her, call nobody answered, so I had to first take the subway to the municipal square, it is said that the municipal square of light is the most beautiful. When we just stepped off the Metro, we hear the air with a cannon, people cheered, at the time, is already a 10-point, original is Fireworks time is up. But in the Bellecour square can only see the light, but I don't see smoke, so we rushed to catch the Metro, thought to the municipal square area to see the fireworks. But 3 minutes later when we arrived at the municipal square, only to find that the Republican road on both sides of the ancient and tall buildings completely blocking our view, only to see the Republican road side sky shone the light on. We start all the way to the Moon, and the Republic of France's evening saw three Chinese girl with amazing speed and dexterity, left-right-to-bursting from their side Flash briefly. Finally we ran to the River Rhone, see air beautiful Fireworks. Bright light lit up the night sky is beautiful, colourful, although it has no domestic every day of the Beijing fireworks of scale, but in such peace and quiet of the sky, full of joy, good atmosphere, see Fireworks, still makes me feel happy life. The last field to see the Fireworks, or in 1994, 45, Daqing, Frankie and I was, sitting in the bustling big huazheng Park Lawn at Zhongshan garden setting off fireworks. Subsequent reunification, 50 anniversary, I do not know what the busy, never feel that way all the fun atmosphere.Watching Fireworks, I found missing Emilie Juliee, we smiled and said: "had lost three, teams may not be able to reduce it."
So we stood on a traffic light, into their necks, big eyes and look for a long time for a long time, is in the midst of the sea of found her little figure, our lungs called her name, through the crowd to keep up with her, this is called and a smile, my throat is almost lost.We made a telephone call to Viviane, let her give us money to actually ask her out to see the hilarious.
When Li from Pocket found a 10 francs coins, we see the side of the road there are several France girl with several table, desk with disposable cups and water bottles. I was studying them in the free water supply or sell water, a girl at our Chinese saying: "you want some tea?" we delight, not by laughing. Juliee French asked: "how much money?" she answered: "Chinese 10 francs. "Juliee in this alien suddenly hear the foreigner should speak Chinese, excited by this last 10 francs spent out, return a cup with a strong smell of water and chewing gum. The next scene is very interesting: the France girl in Chinese, I used a French, a sentence to chat about heaven, she used to work in Hubei Shashi city half a year, we mutually compliment each other in English and French, cheerfulness and parted. Beside a playing music of edges stay for a while, we go back to the Bellecour square and Viviane.Full of joy to the crowd, the subway A line cannot be directly underground to the D-line, but must return to the ground from the D-line entry and then went in, it was tedious, we finally and Viviane and Victor victory at the baggage claim area, you have approximately 12: 30.
We walked for a while on the square, decided to go to the Vieux Lyon bubble.Usual number of Vieux Lyon reception is foreign to tourists, quiet.
The first is full of people today, all the bars are full of people, we try to into a bar. There are only the most narrow aisle can walk, many people do not have the table, just sit on a stool against the wall drink the wine, we render 5 individuals. We in Vieux Lyon slate consensus.She two trips, watched a juggler will two lighted the stick in the body dance to dance to. Indeed, their technology and we used to see in the country of acrobatic troupe even folk artists than are poor far, always keep the stick fell to the ground or yourself, but we still he kept as they applauded. Shop around for a while, weWalk into a small restaurant, one a glass of beer – although not a pure bars, but the atmosphere and the bar is quite similar, as is the bubble. In question for a long time, many with McCain a pass, the waitress came very politely said to close, we realized that pay out.The outside cold pressing, I wore a pair of jeans, cashmere sweaters and coats that are invading the body's cold shivering with cold.
Come to St. John's Cathedral, there are a lot of people are listening on several people playing side dancing. We also jumped up with rhythm, even if not fun, and you can also have your own warm. In addition to music is not so noisy outside, probably down some domestic disco atmosphere — jump better, worse, know, do not know, a large dance together.Jump up, your body also warm up, we went to the River Saone.
You have 2 o'clock, Metro and bus business is finished. I know it would be interesting to find Emilie a bar or dance hall simply sit on the 5 o'clock MTR commenced business again, but I don't have any money, Viviane doesn't speak I am sorry to say where to spend, then walk along the River Saone is recommended. In my lead after approximately 45 minutes of walking, it seems that all of a sudden, we found the home of Emilie is just before eyes. After this great night of tossing about, we are all tired, but this is really a fun night.
