欧洲人比美国人小气多了，被冰岛火山的灰岩困在荷兰机场的三天里，连喝杯水都要掏钱，就不要说到机场附近的豪华酒店FREE几个晚上了；就让滞留的旅客睡在行军床上无人管。

好在电脑，手机充电不要钱......

The Europe Journey 

（外一首中文诗）

"that could be another era of waiting

'til you return to the abandoned earth

the day i was walking on a

the night chatting in a beijing tea house

when that volcano became alive again 

you started a great journey

after millions of years of traveling

you reached the other planet

lava fired the ocean

left no land but ashes

tons of trees and flowers dried

remained just few from ancient picks

apples and olives

if not because of a meteor or volcano

here you could exist, although fish might die

after millions of years of traveling

you reached the other planet

if there're hopes

that could be another era of waiting

'til you return to the abandoned earth"

****** (hehe)

but i changed my travel plan

oh yeah...i mean i'd change my plane

i knew outside it had been smoking

so let me catch up with a smiling

yeah... it's good to see your writing

again here ...keep texting

once i was there wondering

you might join me for skiing...

in europe, in the heavenly landing

your lines of words were persuading

your words of a poem were inspiring

i knew outside it had been smoking

if not far away, if not nearing

come back, oh  —— to my darling...

not a duckling, no monkeying

a trace of blue breath, like a smoke cycling

a heart pumping, with a missing air flowing

my missed lady was crying...

so keep texting like dreaming

as i'd not be again calling...

but God respond' to your praying

but i changed my airplane

because outside it had been smoking

really i'm flying back to china beijing
