The diary of Europe-Lyon

August 6, 2008 clear to cloudy

Yesterday at the railway station to the smooth and received my daughter met. thus follow the daughter out of the subway to the station. a car to a called "Costa Al chayla" platform off. it is the city of Lyon in the northeastern corner of a civilian residential areas. daughter rental of apartment lived three foreign students in addition to the room is only available, kitchen, living room and bathroom are shared. because the layout is reasonable, but didn't find any inconvenience.

At home never Cook's daughter, away from home for many years, he will do some food, I was sleepy, put down your luggage can not sleep when she went to supper. I do not know how long a, smell the kitchen smell of curry beef with overflow, would like to open eyes, but I still can't doze. then stalls wake up, a look at the table on the wrist, is 2 a.m.!

This is the Jet lag. get it so gently-cannot be called bed, is up a floor shops. (

August season, here actually is not hot, underground pad is Simmons, cover a thin is no mosquitoes, also without a mosquito net.) I opened the flashlight---fear frightened daughter---clothing juanpugai, grooming bi, or too early and open notebooks.-is the daughter dropped the failing domestic took away the old computer, her new PC version, will not be used, it is also afraid mistake her baby papers or information get lost, that's not a joke, so I would not dare use. lucky opened the machine (the machine of failure is often does not work, open the machine) steal domestic stock, download a great wisdom, that program I already familiar. a domestic stock market is opening up. looking at the screen share price up and down beat, mixed emotions for a while, did not dare to do, because the computer screen is always prompted to say the existence of pirated files, the operational risk. subsequently asked her daughter during the day, she said it doesn't matter.

With a network, time flies, a broad daylight bright. eat prepared after daughter coffee and bread and dry breakfast, today is the old city of Lyon and the gold tour head Park, the two places is the places of interest in Lyon.

In order to save money, but also to a more careful look at the city decides to walk to the apartment, to-North, it is noted that Lyon Street are mostly is very narrow. comparison rules of the North-South or East arranged. walk for about half an hour, out of the street, cross over the ground in front of a light, shade under the Moonlight, the open-space is a school district-daughter told me, she is also a large Lyon near here, in the more western point of roadside. Turning then to the West along the rail-road sides of trees more tall bushy, there seems to be the feeling of the village to the North, also then go not long before the Golden head to the Park.

Gold Head Park name, it is said that a King's head was thrown here, maybe the Louis XVI? across the metal laser etched door Rails, a statue of beauty and the upper part of the horse and one sat on the horse's body handsome naked body Kiss statue lined with sparkling lakes, located not far away at the door, seemed to welcome tourists coming. by this gesture, however, to welcome tourists, as Chinese people I was somewhat uncomfortable.

Kazakhstan, East-West cultural difference? Park forest, meadows, rivers and small bridges, cottage garden, everything is public leisure play good place is particularly gratifying is-the Meadow, forest birds that squirrels Ah, AH and the Swan pond ducks, not afraid of people, there is also a call on men's pheasant, three separate sharp feet, jumped into the water from the pond to swim to and no less than even the ducks.

Mother and daughter are both random walk. daughter's on here is very familiar with, a student in the last year she a rich area of the landlord where every day to ride through the Park to school today she accompanied her mother, again go into the Park, I do not know what thoughts? however, she is very great, reminds me of a saying in China: the strange case of the bosom friends, is the life of a happy. Moreover, I this Essentials or her MOM?

In the Park in the toilet, I've made a small convenient blooper. routine flushing water to find to find to find buttons. finally found at the wall, a press, a water was spraying, and put my shoes pants are wet! and can't find the button that had a permanent flow of rampant! shouted to her help, the door was opened. nonplus fled, also good Sun is bright, I sat on a Chair in the Sun.

The Sun for a while, shoes pants have dry, then got out of the Park, at the gate of the Park saw the self-assured policewomen. shoot the photograph. also see a sliding gate bicycle, is a style-daughter told me that this is a popular American bike car points. city has several Department. as long as it is organized in Lyon resident, with the necessary formalities, you can either use the city's convenient bike.. subsequently heard, have domestic Hangzhou such facilities, and other parts of the country is also considered.

From the Golden head Park, crossed a street, over a long covered with bushes of river slope, saw the Rhone.

The river has a wall near the mountain architecture of colorful houses, that is the old town of Lyon.

Walk along a section of the Rhone, the road extremely delicate bushes, Woods, river of the path in which the secret.

Without a will, on a bridge, the bridge on to the old town hall. Then go on to the stand Louis XIV statue and a big windmill square. Through the square with spinning, square end is a large old House that Lyon old city of old street area. step, take a step back can rise-Lyon Church is located at the top of the Hill.

Those streets are small, narrow, winding, ground polished small stones road, there is a notch to discharge with old houses on both sides-and some provision into selling souvenirs and food store, narrow streets, traffic, it is hilarious. restaurant dining Alfresco dining places, people doing great stuff has been eating lunch time, I and female

Infants also bought two sandwiches, sitting in the street side of the table to eat.

Finished up the mountain. very high mountain-100 stairs to the top of the Hill at the top of a hill Lyon City Centre neckbones. a crane of stands a tall pencil head like building, in the whole city is low bright buildings in contrast, is very eye-catching. it should be is the landmark of the city of Lyon.

Mountain church very macro Lai. two spires derricks, in front of the marble pillars is estimated to be three or four people as coarse. folded gates on various exquisite carved in relief, enjoy a moment.

Also in the Church's Chair and sit down – do not want to pray, but want to rest (later trip, I found in the chapel of rest is best). On the hillside near the church there are some similar vestiges of ancient open air theater-because I'm too tired, my sleepy as started, only far glanced. no closer.

Find the road down the Hill-daughter said, take the subway home. originally, the church door, there is a Metro entrance. excuse into the cave, a subway car had stopped in to see us there., drivers enthusiastic and we greet, get on with the car down the Hill.-to the ground, and drilling underground road, became a true sense of the Metro (later discovered, the subway, not only in Europe will rise, sometimes on the open, this and where the terrain downs for?)

Tomorrow the daughter to go to the lab work to cook things will-depend on me when I got home, the time-it is still early, daughter took me to the nearby supermarket acknowledge road, learn to buy anything to pay, and other details. Oh, today in halfway through Chinatown, also in turn go. bought a paper plane. other Chinese goods, looks are not new. today, there is also a matter worthy of note note: in the Rhone River, across the road opposite, far saw two Chinese students (I guess), we looked at each other for a long time, and turned away at that finally, without mutual waved waving.

I also saw the boy smile. out-of-home child, not easy!
