沙霸(SaPa)的少數民族
, 12 10th, 2009沙霸(SaPa)少數民族
沙霸在旅遊业开发发展后，已逐漸现代商業化。原有的山区少数民族传统与文化正在一点一滴的消失。
是什么因素促成珍贵的人文机制与传统习俗渐失流传呢？
是新科技商品的引进？新思想的介入和冲激？
或是新的市场操作方式影响了传统劳作，以物换物的生活理念？
还是新的城市化建设？更发达的交通网络？
全球同化，也许已吞没了许多人类原始的美丽。
这是一项值得人类慎重探讨的课题。

A lazy afternoon @ 丹戎巴葛火车总站
, 12 01st, 2009丹戎巴葛火车总站
Revisited the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in mid November this year. Nothing has changed much since my last visit five years ago. The central waiting hall has tall ceiling and decorated with artistic panel walls showing images of typical Malaysian scenes. Feeling is good, very peaceful and slow pace here compare to most of the Mass Rapid Transit Stations around Singapore. Will bring along a coffee-table-book next round and try the Teh Tarik 拉茶 at the Indian tea stall just next to the boarding platform.
Some facts about Tanjong Pagar Railway Station: -
Tanjong Pagar railway station, also called Keppel Road railway station or Singapore railway station, is a railway terminus owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), the main railway operator in Malaysia. The land on which the station and the KTM railway tracks in Singapore are situated is held by KTM on a 999-year lease.
