One side is a cliff, is the other side of the cliff, the vehicles, the body gets a lot of road, the road, do not let a person feel fear, the mood was busy with the scenery out of the window and the ups and downs: sunshine pouring, blue sea, white sea cabin according to landform scattered high and low, haughty overlooking in brilliant purples and reds cliff, be riotous with colour boat was floating in it, you will feel the cliff cliff time and time is moving at different speeds.

The beach in the mood for love

The small town of Al Maffei, on the beach in the mood for love, if a row of people packed the beach chair, will not be like open-air cinema, the sea is never ending of the film? Yes, they live in a movie scene, so no film, no cinema Town, just move a chair outdoors to lie down, you are in the movie.

To build a "prison break and redemption" impression Geneva jail play within the play

A "The Shawshank Redemption", and a "prison break", we all dream of foreign prisons: build basically damp aisle, closed room, heavy door, chubby guards wielding batons and lord it over others...... However, when I visited inSwitzerlandThe Geneva suburb of Sadolo prison (Prison De Champ Dollon), the impression is solidly subversion. See a building health level, must see the toilet, and depends on a country's level of human rights, to watch its prison. Shallow, with civilization and humanity management level, dare to open to visitors, and protect the human rights of prisoners to the outside, let me in the sand dolong prison found Birineiwa lake, the Alps more worthy of Swiss reason.

Go to prison on the pretty little house

>��������Ϊ�����������ڵķ���������">> > prison overcrowding: legal and human three doors.

Geneva starting from the old train station Krner Van, take the F line to Petit-Bel station, transfer to line 31 bus to Champ Dollon station, then walk for 10 minutes, to the Sadolo prison, the prison in 1977 from the site is located in the old city moved to the outskirts of Geneva adjacent toFranceSuburb.

The prison is outside the sign reads: the Federal Ministry of justice and the police of sand dolong prison. The door is simple low-key. Verification of documents, leaving the camera, mobile phone, all may record the jail landscape electronic items, I smoothly into the first gate. 10 meters away is the second door, which is very common in Hollywood prison type sheet iron, staff start button, the door opened slowly, do not need any inspection, we're coming in succession. The third door is electronic security, more stringent than the airport, with fellow travelers who carry metal objects, was stopped in the electronic door, repeated several times to be allowed to pass through. After the security check into the prison guard office administration building, hall, coffee table, sofa automatic drinking machine, like a simple coffee. Hallways and two beautiful display cabinets, display associated with the prison history collection, living off a museum.

In the conference room, I met with governor Danies Scheiwill mr.. He was the International Committee of the Red Cross staff, worked as a volunteer in the prison, two years ago in the job, become the assistant chief prison of the prison, the warden was appointed. Here, warden is generated from the open recruitment, this is the first impact the whole visit process many beyond my experience. According to Danies, in Switzerland, the district has its own laws and regulations, the legislative and judicial power in the framework of federal law. Sadolo prison in the Geneva region public affairs management, in accordance with the Geneva district local laws to exercise their mission. Switzerland has no labor, no detention, whether it is held prisoner awaiting trial or convicted, any restriction of personal freedom, are known as the prison, while in our country it is to separate detention and prison. Switzerland has about 120 prison, can accommodate 6741 inmates, in 2006 had burst out of prison full news.

So it is with Sadolo prison, 1977 from moving out of the city, according to the 270 prisoners of the "system" design, the 1980 detainees still stable in about 150 people, but by 1984 it had first full, fell in 1996 to 200 in 2006, reaching a peak in October 500, the prisons are full members of the human rights problem often suffers from Switzerland camp prison Commission criticism. Prison overcrowding and why? First of all, Geneva as the seat of the European headquarters of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations, gathered around the world tourists, plus open labor market, the influx of a large number from the Mediterranean, North Africa and other places of migrant workers, Geneva become a super country and international city, which has brought prosperity but also an increase in crime. Danies shows the prison prisoner personnel statistics, foreign prisoners in 80% without court trial of the suspect (including awaiting extradition of prisoners), 20% is adjudged, waiting for the transfer of prisoners. In 2007 the prison that held 3010 people, they are from 108 countries, including Switzerland 320 people, accounted for 10.6%; from Eastern Europe to have 562 people, accounting for 16.7%; 566 people, from North Africa accounted for 18.8%; from other areas of Africa, 569 people, accounting for 18.9%; and from the Middle East and Asia, including 2 from america. Constitute such prisoner's nationality, probably only may appear in Geneva.

Secondly, in the current foreign prisoners in the prison, 62.7% people are unable to find a family and contact address, 2007 3010 person-time prisoner, accounted for 1886 of the people in Switzerland have no address. Danies, every one of the suspects, the police can control 24 hours, 24 hours later, or puts a person, or it must be sent to the prison. Sediment dolong prison criminal suspects, 11.5% people detained a day release, 33.1% of the people in custody for 8 days free, the rest of the continuing detention. "The police have the suspect arrived, we cannot reject, go through the courts, has condemned, because there is no place to receive, we send not to walk. So, this would have only 270 prisoners a prison, now held more than 440 people, nearly doubled." One of the main responsibilities of prison is to help prisoners better adapt to society, rather than let these cannot survive in prison after no foreigners were given address and contact way. So more and more people homeless, sand dolong prison can not away. In fact, in order to alleviate the prison inmates who are anxious, the district government has in the first half of 2008 built two small prison in the sand around the 'prison, all 98 prisoners, all 67 prisoners, but, soon to be filled.

>�ܿ����֣����Ի����������̾��">> > of Prison Layout: humanization design impressive

The prison layout is undoubtedly the most makes me curious. Led by Danies, we visited the North Building of ordinary cell, brig, was a penalty for criminal activity space, and workshops, the lawyer the reception room. A cell looks like hotel rooms and simple one, put a double bed, the bed is a small multi-storey bookcase and lockers; opposite the bed hung a television; the windows wide bright, half of the room facing France, can see the field scenery; there is a writing desk near the window next, the small refrigerator storage of food and beverage; prison room is also provided with a private bathroom. Most can reflect the sand dolong prison humanization and carefully place is near the bed wall central "propaganda window", here for posting photographs of loved ones.

The prison gates

Sadolo prison is no iron railing whole Swiss only a window of prison cell. This looks like an adventure, according to Danies, the prison in the old town happened prisoners Dutch act and escape, but the cell still retained the "unsafe" design, and has allowed the prisoner preservation belt, razor. "If only considering the safety, we can put the house built more closed, do not provide any living facilities, but it could put every prisoner's transformation into a lunatic asylum." Danies thinks, is more important than security, is to let the detainees have a normal life, "this adventure is worth!"

Hualian, the first time seeing the name, my heart filled with a hint of emotion, inTaiwan, unlike Riyuetan Pool, Ali Mountain people indulge in elaborating on, unlike Taipei, Kaohsiung be well-known, far and near, however, this name was enough to attract me. Nantou, Taiwan as the only one Linhai County, has given birth to the most beautiful Taiwan lake, it is not a kind of compensation of heaven. From these two cities, to see a different Taiwan island.

Carp Lake

Hualian: Island last pure land

Hualian, the first time seeing the name, my heart filled with a hint of emotion, in Taiwan, unlike Riyuetan Pool, Ali Mountain people indulge in elaborating on, unlike Taipei, Kaohsiung be well-known, far and near, however, this name was enough to attract me, "flower" is the symbol of beauty, but with a "Lotus" shares of elegant temperament.

The scenery in Hualian, Taroko Gorge is the most prestigious, come to Hualian not to Taroko that is a pity. Taroko park area of Taroko Gorge, the Liwu River and east along the Central Cross-Island Highway as the main body, and covers the South Lake central cusp peaks, made up of Acacia, hills, mountains, Taroko Qingshui cliff, three stack Creek watershed.

Some roads are cut out from the precipitous rock faces and sheer cliffs on the road from the mountain, some full belly through, to lighting, people to excavate tunnel side of the cliff, forming a window. This road is condensed from the mainland more than 1 veterans of the sweat and blood and tears, along the wayChangchunAnd Jin Hengqiao's temple was built to commemorate the martyrs "hills topple and the earth shake, a heroic death, and then the ladders stone stack connection".

There are several suitable popular walking trails in the park, every walk of the scenery along the way are different, such as the Central Cross-Island Highway Taroko to U Canyon vertical wall Tienhsiang between millions of years, is composed of abundant Liwu stream downward erosion and the formation of, is the most signs in the park scenery, in addition, the park has greatly small mountain up to 27, also have different walk into.

Ring Tam Road everywhere has the pavilion to rest or tea viewing, ride tired, stopped to have a look the scenery, or to the lake fishing or walking, are very comfortable. Qixing lake name as Carp Lake, but acknowledged the sunrise is the beauty of Hualian, the sun is higher than the instantaneous sea level, like a golden egg yolk just from inside the eggshell outflow; air layers of clouds like biscuits, sandwiched between a creamy in general a layer of soft and light of the sun. If you are fortunate enough to catch up with, also is drunk beautiful moment.

Taipei

The Three Gorges bubble hot spring

Taipei is also called the "Three Gorges" place? I heard the name really curious. The Three Gorges, formerly known as "Bay Delta", located in the Three Gorges River, Dahan, Wang confluence, terrain triangular named, "Chung" Taiwanese "fire". During the period of Japanese occupation, and renamed as "Bay Delta" sounds like "Three Gorges". Here about half an hour's drive from the city of Taipei, Taipei at the weekend will go to one of the peripheral tours.

Taipei outing destination

The flavor of the Three Gorges street, is the taste of most of the old town in northern Taiwan, the tourists favorite degree, be roughly the same and freshwater street. The Three Gorges is the northern Taiwan settlements development the earliest (Village), development was similar with fresh water, early because of water rise, development and tea, camphor, indigo industry, gradually formed the bustling village street. A scenery of the Three Gorges, as waterborne advantage no longer gradually decline, prosperous market became witness history buildings.

The Three Gorges Street ancient flavor.

The Three Gorges street, which is about 248 meters long civil rights street, has more than 100 building brick houses, the streets are lined with the business of doing business. The streets of Taiwan is the first temple street. Civil rights street of Xinglong Palace Street older than. The whole house to replace painted sculpture, each column carving theme from the Chinese historical romance or myths and legends, each corner design.

The Three Gorges street by those red brick built into the traditional southern style architecture combines multiple architectural styles, including traditional Tsai Ting foot and parapet, elaborate Baroque pattern decoration, the building shows such as artistically gorgeous classical style. The old house on the lettering on behalf of surname, name, business or shop, dye shop industry with engraved with "dyeing" word is the most; and the businessman shops board frame are engraved with the hall, shop number or name, the merchants commonly used in business propaganda. The graphic decoration have meaning, such as vases, symbol of peace.

After renovation after the street, to reproduce the old style of elegant, has also become a tourist visiting an old time nostalgic tourist destination. The Three Gorges of long arcade Street string, still stunning old buildings of exquisite beauty, but modern Street merchants and past industry, handicrafts, special products, restaurant and snack bar, replaced the earlier dyehouse, tea and timber, inclusion in the shuttle visitors is middle street the show folk artists.

Tropical rainforest bubble beauty soup

To the Three Gorges, must go to the great forest, enjoy the sodium bicarbonate salt natural hot springs in the subtropical rain forest in, can choose to live in the elegant resort, night view of the stars and the firefly, or play every day, now back to Taipei. Great forest in Taiwan is the only remaining original low altitude subtropical rain forest, the area of 20 hectares.

Great forest spa in the Japanese occupation era is the first tea factory of Taiwan's largest, has nearly a hundred years of history. The name O Ine derives from great forest spa resort of rainforest plants -- the root plate, the bottom of the trunk triangular flat plate perpendicular to the ground.

In this subtropical rain forest, we can really a science lesson, the plants legend by Gen Gi Khan when the West back to the "Alexander coconut tree", in Japan only the royal family to grow branches immortal not bad "Sakaki", can prevent forest fires, and Pi Zibao's "Melaleuca", like Mimosa leaves together like the evening will be the "lobular acacia tree", males and females "eggplant Xiao tree", will be sweating "dripping tree trunk", such as pythons extend like to find at the end of the "Cube", great air nest "mountain Su," the age of dinosaurs existed pen tree......

In addition to enjoy the forest bath, don't miss this colourless sodium bicarbonate spring. The resort is the most famous "Prince hall", so named because of the Japanese royal family stayed at.

Taipei style: freshwater river nurtured the city style

Many of the world's cadenza glittering metropolis is located in the river. When the steam machine has not yet been invented, water is probably the most convenient, accessible to the farthest way of transportation, so some shipping convenience settlement is developed for the city. The river flow away, how many chunhuaqiuyue filled thick precipitate to the bottom, many city changing appearance record in a grain of fine sand. And gave birth to the Taipei, is a named "freshwater" river.

By the river born

The story of Taipei from 300 years ago began. Qing emperor Kangxi forty-eight years (1709), Quanzhou "Ken," Chen Laizhang for reclamation "big Jianabao" (now the city of Taipei in the area). He recruited a large number of immigrants from Fujian, in the picturesque scenery of the freshwater river built town houses, the first Han village -- "new" appeared. Whenever the sun reddened the shimmering Crystal River and distant gentle hills, the men on the hoe. Their women wash clothes in the river to wash rice, with Tang accent singing songs of Fujian, tactful and diplomatic. Perhaps heard women's songs, maybe see the cottage roofs curl drifting smoke, from 2000 on the world in "the family" Ketagalan "came in a canoe, belonging to a more advanced civilization of objects using sweet potato and Chinese exchange.

Later, gradually concentrated to a downstream trade "Monga" (present-day Wanhua District). "Monga" is actually "Mankah" transliteration of pingpus "-- meaning" canoe ", because this lively place always canoe gathered. The first trading city street, because in the early days of sweet potato is the main transaction, the name of the street is called "sweet potato city street". This is the first street of Taipei, this city will be known to all the world today is from the thin side source.

Sicily: witness the most beautiful city "the ancient capital of elegance"

Fifth Century B.C.GreeceThe lyric poet Pindar, songs of praise to the gods of famous, he was singing the Sicilian for "the most beautiful city", the magnificent Doric classical architecture, a Greek god is imagination from the sky to visit, let a person be in 2000 many years later, still can recall ancient elegance.

The Sicilian hymns

Palermo hellfire and heaven of water

The history of Palermo, Sicily is the epitome of. From Hell's fire of desire and violence from heaven with tolerant belief in the water, made a delicate balance here, harmony.

"The four corners area" gorgeous grace of the baroque styleEvery kind of gadget shop

The Sicilian, is a distant and mysterious place names, from many movies, you can vaguely see it a different look. It has "Cinema Paradiso" in a cordial and warm town amorous feelings, also has a "blue sky" in the vast romantic Mediterranean flavor, of course, there is the "Godfather", dark and can not be shown to others, the Mafia story. Look beneath the wing gradually clear the coast line of Sicily, and the capital of Palermo (Palermo) city crowded house, I have great curiosity, there are faint worry, whether this is a kind of place?

Although far fromItalyLocal, partial upper Island, Palermo is still a bustling city with nearly 700000 people, in Italy can be ranked fifth. The history of Palermo, is a microcosm of Sicily history, from the ancient Greeks originally, toRomeOne, to the Arabs, to Norman, to Defaxiying countries, without exception, the Mediterranean Sea fortress gem drool with envy, turns zuozhuang. But Palermo's special relationship, mafia - still in it and the other a secret but the influential organization (Mafia).

On Sicily, the modern history of Mafia organization, is not too long, carefully held up, in fact also began in nineteenth Century. Rob the rich and assist the poor from the defense of the homeland, evolved into the blackmail and impose exactions on, paid protection, territories unified until the assassination, but 100 years of progress. Its influence is profound enough, a similar organization in the future development, across the oceans, across the continent, appeared in many parts of the world. While the rooting Sicily Mafia growth nest, which is in Palermo area. The reason is very simple, because in the last 100 years, here is the economy developed, the rich gathered place. Correspondingly, no matter is the official organization, or non-governmental voluntary, with mafia struggle has not stopped, the result of the struggle, a temporary victory also has a tragic price - Palermo International Airport name, is a piece of the monument written in blood.

Palermo International Airport is the full name, Falcone-Borsellino Airport, which is composed of two names. Giovanni Falcone, justice of Italy, former Justice Department criminal law, against the Mafia, "banner" figures, May 23, 1992 was a remote-controlled bomb assassination on returning home in the vicinity of Palermo. Paolo Borsellino, another against the Mafia leader, Falcone's friends and comrades, in July 19th the same year in Palermo by car bomb assassination. Their efforts and blood, but also to promote the opposing and checking the Mafia career. Then it 20 years, many important Mafia leaders have been arrested, mafia activity is moderating, the life in Palermo seemed to restore the normal order. Just how realistic, but also to the city to find out.

Drove from the airport highway, into Palermo City, like suddenly caught in a maze, be accustomed to civilized social order here all gone. To Sicily before heard the confusion of the traffic in Palermo is a name, but only in the street traffic, just understand by "chaos" two words to describe it is far from enough. No car is in accordance with the drive, so the road two lane can be side by side extrusion four cars; no car will adhere to the "to" sign, then turn is a pile of cars vying with each other for the stopper; as for fast trunk road on the city, and for the pedestrian crossing lights set, and traffic once stopped, will hold a hawker, begging to sell disposable lighter, clean the window, full of tricks. This case, the traffic jam is homely food, is expected to 20 minutes, with the last 3 times. It is no wonder that, drive in Palermo, you will forget yourself inEurope. In this city, it is so disorderly?

To touch one of the city's most vivid details, nature is devoted to its bustling market. Palermo's largest and most famous Wu Qili Asian market (Mercato della Vucciria), on the side of the old city center road is Via Roma, a turn, abandoned a lot of traffic coming, but in a color, smell, and Italy opera type cries the world together. Different and no order at all the streets in Palermo, each booth here not only ordered, and is full of enthusiasm for art creation. Green leafy vegetables showed the rich colors of the vegetable Sicilian oranges base rounded into Pyramid; small olives and a variety of ingredients with rich flavor; as for the fish stall, the deep-sea fish proud now only helpless look, fish section fresh depict the seductive texture and gloss. Even more surprising, is that exotic things, spices and herbs, diversiform new cooking ingredients, fromAfricaThe world, from Arabia, or more distant corners of the world. The city style, come down in one continuous line in the continuation of history and daily life, never change.

After enough of a variety of fresh rich, cheap food lure, and turned to find not far from Wu Qili Asian market, Palermo's oldest restaurant: Antica Focacceria di San Francesco (San Francesco old snack shop). Following the address map in a narrow alley, Sicily's most busy summer has passed, the shouts of the tourists and hot food stalls are not see, think of the shop and the legend of the Mafia, empty secluded alley at this moment even more mysterious.

On Wakatipu lake, the local people told me so. Legend there was a giant, he kidnaps a girl in town. A brave young man know, when a south wind, the giants will fall asleep. So he took the opportunity to kill the giant, rescued the girl. But the giant body became a great lakes. But later people believe, the giant is immortal, the surge is he breathing.

The story sounds so full of poetic, but the core vocabulary Queenstown is dynamic. One day I was asked three times, "you go bungee jumping?" Just like "Hello?" The same occurs frequently. In view of the fact that really no courage, every time I only shook his head in shame, for fear of heights to hide his timid. Here there are many old bungee tricks, nostalgia can choose jumped from the bridge and wanted to try something new, pattern, can from the original forest hill jump, or simply to fly to thousands of feet in the air, a free fall. Bungee jumping here is so popular, that I suspect this town at least half are from the air and tied the rope to jump. "".

Because every time when rotating, I feel has been drying clothes in the washing machine, thrown to the edge of the universe. High speed rotating stir water poured into the cabin, from a to Z, a cold water bath for me. An hour later, when I landed wet like just jumped into the lake and swam, and be dead beat, but felt himself at last how to integrate into the mobile as a symbol of the town, the heart is happy.
