Jun Ren received a letter last night and asked how I would like Google to do. I do not really know Google really motivated to leave Beijing, in the end because of information control to resist the policy of economic reasons or because they retreat to Hong Kong to go? Different opinions.I do not know who the good letter. Google's stance is high, Google's attitude is also very political. Google CEO said that the Chinese authorities to the growing requirements of information filtering let him think of his childhood living under the Soviet totalitarian regime can not tolerate. When he left the Soviet Union was six years old. Year-old children experience of totalitarianism gave him a deep impression. This argument makes me a little bit surprised, because I always thought that businessmen are mercenary. But now that the only meaning of a non-profit-oriented businesses on a map, I do not really easy to fully believe, though I have no evidence that Google is not because of resistance from China's information control.
Because I live in the country, after the departure of the natural Google inconvenience caused no personal experience. But I do from the "New Yorker" journalist's blog on Beijing to see him you can still use Google, but a special software. This is his record: http://ow.ly/DRZc. He is a foreigner, and the money can afford the software, for most people, I can not imagine Google's search information to people who like the inconvenience. China now is only a search engine Baidu has? No words against Google with Baidu, Baidu may be complacent or blocked more fiercely.
I think that Google is a lose-lose leave Beijing, while Google has won the reputation of justice.Google injured because of economic losses. China also hurt, because losing a provider of the fastest and most complete information search engine, those who need the information to the Chinese merchants, manufacturers, people inconvenience; also betrayed the determined cry down or tear down the Great Wall of Meng Jiang men and women. Frankly, I secretly think that this mode of Google go a little bit of swagger and less chess properly.
First of all I am worried that Google overestimated its own democratization process in China's role. Commercial use of political pressure on China in the West, many people suggested a method. Well-known scholar Andrew Nathan, Chinese hate him to let him into the Chinese state, wrote many articles on the United States asked the U.S. government put pressure on businessmen to American businessmen on the Chinese government to pressure the Chinese government to improve human rights. He believes this is the moral obligation of every business, but also the moral obligation of the United States Government. I heard the news from Google, think of the recommendations of Professor Nathan, Google actually really surprised to implement this recommendation. Google Does China want to change the color or to Beijing to see the point? A search engine, even the world's largest search engine company is a really big political ambitions?
The problem is not Google China is not the Internet will find it very convenient. I guess most of the people (said to have 300 million people online in China) on the political enthusiasm is not so high, Baidu may also enough they used. Those who wish to search for sensitive words people must be able to learn over the wall and find the words for more information. From this perspective, Google is not actively moving confrontation with the totalitarian, but the soldiers had run away or take the initiative to give up. Google, my friend, who should have the courage of Professor Cui Weiping: "We do not give up", this is the real help China toward the direction of democratization. Out of Beijing, I am worried about is the original Google staff who lose their jobs, how to do? Moreover, people generally search for sensitive words every day, then Who?China's political and economic environment, who are interested in doing this every day? Unless the little person.
My last semester to make students read an excellent article entitled: China Network on 10 things you need to know. Speaking of which one is to use the Internet in China were mostly not political, but commercial, social, cultural, such as people around the world almost. Taking into account the interests of the majority, Google a few people out there care to lose the vast majority. In addition, Google's rival is a state power, this country has to believe from the history of Shang Zhi Xia Yu. This is not only the policy of the DPRK, which is two thousand years since the national policy. Challenge to this policy is to challenge the political traditions of Chinese culture, Google is very courageous, but it seems not enough wisdom to make wise Trojan horse, dive to the inside, not to retreat to the Great Wall outside to go.
In fact, this seems to never really driving down the Great Wall and the collapse of force it is kept outside the city and the Chinese people, not Google. The role of the Internet in China, in particular, public oversight and public opinion, has changed in China, Do not you see trichloro milk powder incident in 2008 and the Sichuan earthquake? Last year, many public events, and now Shanxi vaccine events? The voice of the Internet has changed the final outcome of these events. There is no online voice is inconceivable. Some different views now online, although the review of all the time, but one foot, the law is strong, I do not believe the review can filter who want to know no way to know. There is a will, there is a way. Google should be left to help the Chinese people, the country with the lock, closed the country, the struggle against totalitarianism. This struggle can not be achieved, can only fight a protracted war and guerrilla warfare. Google at the moment to leave, in fact, the spirit of those trying to find different resources, different opinions issued by the voice of people, groups not timely help, but a bit drastic means. This is very regrettable. I look forward to moving back to Google.

The mysterious land of Egypt - Pyramids
Speaking of Egypt, people immediately think of the pyramid. Pyramid = Egypt, seems to be exactly the same as the fixed. Egypt is a long history of the country, the pyramid construction period, China has a written history has not yet begun. If you would like to introduce a clear pyramid, we must introduce some of Egypt's historical background and chronology. 
Overlooking the three pyramids
Egypt has a well-documented major periods:
The Archaic (before Christ 3150 years - 2686)
The Old Kingdom (BC 2686 - 2181)
The First Intermediate Period (AD 2181 - 2040)
The Middle Kingdom (BC 2040 - 1782)
The Second Intermediate Period (AD 1782 - 1570 years)
The New Kingdom (BC 1570 - 1070)
The Late Period (BC 1069 - 525 years)
Persian Rule (BC 525 - 332 years)
Ptolemaic (Greek) Period (BC 332 - 30 years)
The Roman Period (30 BC - AD 395)
Byzantine Rule (AD 395 - 640)
Arabs invaded the Nile valley, the end of Byzantine rule. Egypt became part of the field of Islam.(AD 640 - present)
Like China, the Kingdom of ancient Egypt have turnover. Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom is a period of relative stability, but also have a similar confusion in the middle of the Warring States period. The pyramids, the Sphinx is the Old Kingdom pharaoh tomb built for himself and the statue. 4000 years have elapsed since the Old Kingdom, the pyramid is naturally more than 4000 years ago buildings. Is hard to imagine that in a distant era, those behemoths in the end how to build up?
Khufu Pyramid
Khufu Pyramid is an ancient Kingdom of the fourth dynasty pharaoh Khufu second built in 2589 BC. This is the world's largest remaining pyramid. Look at the picture it can not be a good feeling great. Immersive close to look at it, it has become one seat Stone Mountain. At the bottom of each piece of stone has a half-man, tall, standing at the foot of its upward looking up, saw a stone wall, there is no sense of slope.
Her son standing on the pyramid, just like standing on a stone wall.
Khufu pyramid at the entrance. There can be only one hundred visitors a day into the tour, it is necessary to queue up early in the morning. We did not this spirit, went into a pyramid of Khufu, Khafre pyramid into the next.
哈夫拉金字塔
哈夫拉法老是胡夫法老的儿子，他建的金字塔比胡夫金字塔小。与中国人差不多，儿子总是要谦虚地摆个姿态，不能超过父亲。但是，这个儿子毕竟内心还是很骄傲的，颇有点小聪明。他的塔高虽然没有老爸的高，可他把金字塔建在比老爸地势高的地方，以至于他的金字塔看上去比老爸的更加宏伟。
到金字塔之前，在路上导游就忽悠我们不要进塔，进塔没意思。呵呵，想想看，大老远来的人不进金字塔里面看看是不是白来啊！怎么也得进去瞧瞧里面究竟啥样。可惜，进塔里不给照相，我们也没带相机。其实进去也没人管，不知道闪光灯一亮是不是有人干预？总之，没照相，但是那种感受确是人生中一次值得珍藏的回忆。
进塔的通道很窄小，必须弯着腰，半蹲着往里走。塔里面空气闷热，走了一会就在想这条路到底有多长啊！一开始走的方向是向下，走完甬道进入一个可以直起身体的走道。再向前走不多远，进入一间石室，里面空间不算很大。但是挺高，四面墙壁上什么都没有，只有一口石棺在石室内。走道一侧有个通道用栅栏门挡住，不让进去。那是通向一个小的墓室。向上还有一个通道，是通向高层的墓室，也不让进。总之，虽然不是所有墓室都能进去，但是，在金字塔里行走的经历依然让人回味。
在网上找到一组照片，嘿嘿，估计是某位游客偷拍的，借来一用吧。
Sarcophagus inside the tomb
Door Kara Pyramid
2500 years BC by the Pharaoh Khufu's Menkaura construction, is the smallest one of three pyramids. Indeed, much smaller scale, but it is the most complete one. Next to the three small pyramids are who currently work had not been conclusive.
Sphinx, located in south-west of Khafre Pyramid, built 2,500 years BC. To Pharaoh Khafre's face as the prototype.
From another perspective, the Sphinx, a clearer understanding of its structure.
Yosemite National Park Journey
In fact, long ago heard the Yosemite of the daimyo, when UC Merced also referred to its own propaganda and a big advantage from this national park is very close to (though in fact or not close, and steadily as a local drive, then have to open two and a half minutes) . Merced is now the turn of the spring and summer, when the weather is still good at times, so the boss to play mind big time, said the organization, and his newly married wife, where our group spring tour, finally, spirits are not high, only two had to respond to me and Eric, so wait at the edge of the boss boss wife drove the two of us sleeping in the back seat, it is so early in the morning on April 26 to kill the 7:30 departure of the Yosemite National Park.
Yosemite National Park, in theory, can play all year round, but without the experience of driving on snow and ice, and nor is it ski enthusiasts, the best time or a year in April to September, particularly among the 5,6 the month of snow melt, the most abundant in the mountains when the water is better (to the summer sun is too toxic, water is slowly dry), so this time we go or to see a lot of good waterfall.
In fact, this national park is a great piece of mountain ranges, can rely on the individual situation of physical and time to choose a long distance or a short look at scenery, is a day trip or spend the night in the mountains. The play Sunday due to a time when, and the members of the different physical states, so we went to Yosemite Valley this big attraction, because it is the only one of the attractions you can back and forth the same day, in which they played a total of three small spots ( must have a total of more than 20 small tourist attractions): lower Yosemite fall, mirror lake, and Vernal fall, to say the quality scenery Well, there is a spectacular, beautiful and definitely not as good as home, but I think Playing fairly happy, less gossip said that the last piece of the 啦. To save space, only to put a thumbnail here to enlarge or go to Albums to see through! ~
Morning, along the way, then sleep on the train, but just before waking up in the mountains, the scenery outside the window has become a green one, is very comfortable and open in the winding mountain roads, 50mph speed, a little dizzy, but the scenery is very Zan . Heard a burst of rain landslides, to a certain period of Ludu on the reason that there is a section of a one-way traffic only, we also follow the traffic signals will be directed, where a small paused car, roll down the window, fresh the air blowing from.

When seated on the vehicle by the better beds and some reflective windows folder inside.Ribbon Fall is said to be the highest elevation sites in the waterfall, straight down in the middle is not divided into several sub-cut, the actual height has its right Bridalveil twice as high estimate. El Capitan is a huge cliff which, it seems because it is too steep, rather famous. Eric told me that some rock-climbing enthusiasts will bring a sleeping bag to climb the peak, because the day is less than the top of the climb, in the middle was hanging there, and then climb sleep (in fact I did not figure out where did you get them from a rope them suspended from the top), peak height of 2307 meters. As for the Bridalveil Fall, literally over a "bride's head yarn" means, it seems that some like, but I think the most interesting thing is that a large V-shaped grooves, do not know whether it was washed out by water.
And then move forward line did not take long, that is, destinations, Yosemite Fall, and the waterfall was divided into two sections, we have in order to save time, just go to the following that it is easy to go, so I went to go home when it is aware of this is also considered an attraction.

(Left: Yosemite Fall, see the bottom two floors it? Big is the upper mountain approaching the lower end of that trickle, which is where we are going; in: got out to shoot, when embarked Yosemite Fall photographs, it is doing in this line of color look at one of the best; Right: near a look trickle also kinda magnificent)
Next step is to work towards second spots Mirror Lake, and the attractions and in front of that are relatively easy, as long as the cement path along like it but the way we choose to mirror lake with a cement road mountain road across the river , very fun to say.

(Left: yosemite fall down suddenly discovered after the snow has not melted; in: mirror lake on the way to go photographed the Half Dome; right: I am Mirror Lake)
By the way, half dome, it is 2700 meters high, it is well-known, one reason is that it is itself a particularly large boulder in particular has been split from the eighteen months, so it looks very special, and then one is because a lot of hiking lovers is bound to come here to try, said apart from a few steps beyond the whole, is by pulling the rope climb, while the first half dome climb a mountain to climb from the next to go, and then across the bottom of that hill to Half Dome , I have a fierce as a bull's friends climbed them all so tired of the whole die, so I guess I'm still kicking is able to fulfill this task.
Then I have to focus on to talk about this last one attraction Vernal Fall in, Vernal Fall belongs to Mist Trail in the first half, the Trail is from mountain at the end of Padaoshanding, halfway up the mountain is the Vernal Fall, The Peak is Nevada Fall, we only go to the first one, because I'm afraid I only have strength to climb not the strength to climb down, it seems kinda disappointing to say the boss. Basically characterized by the Americans like Hiking, do not know the specific translated paste irrelevant called climbers, mainly follow the route the more rugged the better, so the higher latitudes, the less road repairs, of course, China's Pole Han's on the cable car more not even think about at the side of the Jian Zhao. I climbed a trip back to fully understand the columbia outdoor equipment that is in the domestic waste in the United States that is really to make the best use of them.
The first half to the Vernal Fall is a very steep slope of a concrete road, then see the Vernal Fall from the moment I arrived, they no longer have Shunshundangdang the road can go, especially as more and more away from the Falls, close to the water more larger, we have the equivalent of the edge from the waterfall to climb, step varies, there are a lot of slippery mud, thanks to the day I wore a North Face jacket, windproof waterproof, unfortunately naked columbia's climbing shoes, led the way scary fear mizuno shoes wet-out pair of net surface. Of course, because of water a great camera to the rear half is also no how to open, and only slightly dry areas in order to boot a few photos.
(To the top of the waterfall at rest the ankle felt a dull pain, but Eric also said that after going to the Peak will be the falls road rugged steep walk, it hurt his knee ankle the way, so I decided to take the ankle in the name of this rest, and go home afterwards proved to be a super-brilliant decision, otherwise, we estimate that only 10 o'clock at night get home, and the next morning the group will be no effort to open.
In short Yosemite than I imagined still have to pretty much a pity that the camera is not her own, nor Gude Shang tone, as if some of overexposure that day, the eyes are again some swelling, affecting my brilliant image. Although there is no domestic scenery beautiful, but it makes me feel a new feeling very happy, I believe the future will look for opportunities Zaiqu's, he decided to exercise a good physique, and then next time enjoy hiking process.
Ten anti-twilight-hui wonders: Tennessee above the clouds is gorgeous ring (Photos)
Anti-twilight-hui is a very rare and quite spectacular optical phenomena, the phenomenon usually occurs at dawn and dusk, it requires the observer with his back to the sun or the sunset point. When the sun through the clouds in the gap showed a scattering of light beam out, people see twilight-hui. Although the sun along a straight line, but in a straight line projected onto the sky turned into a circular arc. Therefore, the sunset or sunrise occurs when twilight-hui will look to re-cross the other side of the sky at one point. With the direction of the sun was a 180-degree point against Japan, which was known as the Twilight Hui Hui anti-twilight.

However, they tend to give the observer an illusion. This is often seen a parallel route to the horizon, like a straight road, they seem to point toward a distant focus.
