斯德哥尔摩:木头与小岛
许多地方离开之后回想,竟没留下太多印象。钱包夹层偶然掉出的一张票根,微微褶皱的表面和磨毛的边角。上边印着斯德哥尔摩的字样,心里微微有些怅惘。哦,原来你还在这里。 没留下印象原因颇多。许是因为走马观花,许是缘于眼前拂过千万景,而心里不起一层涟漪。又或许,是因为某处太过平庸,寻...


雅典:失落文明的回眸
走进雅典时,背负的是对古希腊文明的膜拜和敬意。离开雅典时,长久的向往已完成了“去神秘化”的过程,留下来的是对古文明的失落和现代文明归处的思索。 雅典卫城居于陡峭的悬崖之上。沿着卫城西侧的坡路一路盘旋而上,视野越来越开阔,众多城区的建筑由侧视图变成了俯视图。拾级而上,山门右边...

城市的味道:维也纳萨赫蛋糕
叉子穿透脆裂的巧克力糖衣,切开一层厚重细腻的巧克力蛋糕,随后越过杏子酱粘质的夹层刺穿第二层巧克力蛋糕。“叮"得一声响,金属碰到白瓷盘发出清脆的交响。蛋糕凭着本身的致密性稳稳得立在叉子顶端,似有略无得从奶油花的上方扫过去。柔软的奶油山顶上齐刷刷得被削去了山脊,蛋糕上镶了一圈随...
