confused

逸云

I am confused these days. I thought it should be very hot in this island as it is a southern country. But it is in winter in fact as an island located in southern half of the earth ---  The same thing happened when I traveled in south Africa years ago --- more than couple times, and  it is unimaginable actually I forgot completely before departure.

It is amazing that I found the sun rised from the west, hung in the southern sky and moving to the east. After a few seconds confusion, I realised it was the existence that the sun rised from the east and moving to the west via north.

太阳在南半球依然是东升西落，只不过正午的时候在北方而不是南方，简单的几何问题，但一般人理解不了。

This is an old article, but it's very fresh for me.

Both the travel journal and the language are so beautful, why not go on?

Thx! The reason of not going on is that the sponsor was not stimulated with less responses.

引用第10楼逸云于2006-09-04 18:55发表的“”:
Crazy Act was made here that drinking of sugar cane is strictly prohibited even it is planted everywhere. It can only be put into the mills for sugaring. I could not understand why the local people could hate drinking sugar cane or how they could restrain themselves from it before knowing this strange Act.

In China, people like drinking sugar cane so much that they buy it for not only their kids but themselves. It is difficult to imagine how to control everybody of all in our country from tasting when passing through the sugar field.
这儿有些看不明白的。谁来给ET一下！

Crazy Act ：发疯的法律
drinking of sugar cane ：吃干蔗
put into the mills for sugaring：放进糖厂制糖

any way, that's an infliction on me
