Flying on the sky--my ski beginner notes with pain yet joy

Ski gave me more pain than any other sports, but no matter how much I complained, I was always attracted back, magically.

滑雪是一项神奇的运动,用一句俗语来形容我对它的感觉,“痛并快乐着”再恰当不过。每次滑完雪,全身的肌肉都像要散架似的,膝盖也因为压力觉得疼痛,身上每一处都在抱怨。可是下一次却又兴高采烈地卷土重来。滑雪还是个超级“用户不友好”的运动,对气候地理环境要求太高,以至于每年我重新尝试时都非常紧张,不确定之前学的还记得多少。还记得第一次在奥地利滑雪时因为低估了阿尔卑斯山这边“初学者道”的难度,最后不得不穿着笨重无比的雪靴蹒跚地走下山。当时边走我边狠狠地和Tim抱怨,我绝对绝对再也不要来滑雪了。可是第二天看到那些滑雪高手在山上自由地翱翔,我立马忘了头一天的“誓言”,转头和Tim说,我觉得我还是要再尝试的。

An Italian family's adventure in England: from barn to hotel-res

This was a really interesting experience to me. Staying in a hotel converted from a 16th traditional English barn & stable, managed by an Italian family who wanted to have an adventure on life, and this family's passion on cooking makes this hotel-restaurant definitely one of the best in my life!
