当查理和萨伊在巴黎相遇
本周末，我去电影院看《Taken3》。或许是巧合，一个戴小黑帽的老男人坐在我左侧，右侧不远处，是个包头巾的女青年。在犹太和穆斯林宗教势力的包围下，我终于看完了这部江郎才尽的好莱坞警匪片。一到家就听到巴黎传来的消息：萨伊兄弟(SaidKouachi)，在冷血谋杀《查理周刊》12人后，终于被毙。我立刻想到《Taken3》里LiamNeeson的话，“[

今年11月从上海去泰国普吉岛潜水，地点：KohBon,TaichaiPinnacle,PichelieuRock,NorthPoint,BreakfastBend,WestofEden,Anita’sReef,BoonSongWreck。与印尼比，这里水温高，暗流小，能见度好，对国内的潜水爱好者来说，普吉岛是个价廉物美的方便去处。回程的飞机上，邻座的一个女孩和我聊起潜水风险，她专门搜索过PADIAsiaPacific的统计资料，说死亡事故率是万分之一点几，我由此想起了两次特殊潜[
