y2k委内瑞拉之行一从未试过如此放纵 (图)

偶然翻出2000年时去委内瑞拉的日记，搞笑，我的斯里兰卡同事兼哥们Raj怂恿我一起去委内瑞拉玩，但这个倒霉的家伙最后时刻订婚了就不能出去腐败，临时找不到人顶浪费900大洋，而我则一个人享受了双人房，那是一次难忘的旅行，生平第一次去加勒比海，估计我当时是在那个岛上唯一一个中国人，我认识了同机去同一个酒店的几个哥们，都是离异的倒霉蛋，但很有趣，我们一起玩，天天喝酒，那家酒店做的菜真是太棒了，另一个哥们第二年专门回去两个星期。还去了一趟亚马逊森林一日游，飞机专门带到世界最高的天使瀑布转了几圈，然后停留在巴西边界，那里我们穿越了一个巨大的瀑布，遇上了美丽奔放的德国空姐，看到了毒红蜘蛛，回来的时候据说因为驾驶员和女朋友缠绵过久我们返回的时候比较晚，结果在空中看到了亚马逊壮丽的日落，血红的太阳映倒在下面的池塘可以看到至少9个太阳，然后穿越了恐怖壮观的暴风雨，看着天边的黑云堆成高墙，闪电一球一球的惊心动魄，穿过云墙是仿佛云南石林般的云柱，不过当时没学摄影，拍日落都成了废片，痛苦啊，还有好多照片没有扫描，比如美丽的德国空姐（三点哦，因为要穿越瀑布所以大家都脱得比较光）

当时是为了锻炼英语用英语写的日记，如果不嫌咱水平臭就请慢慢欣赏洋泾滨英语，哈哈

从未试过如此放纵/Unlimited Drinks

Cloudy and darksome, damn humid in Magarita

in my memory this is the first time i sleep during the flight, I really got a bad night. To catch the early airport bus I bring the luggage to my friend Garment's apartment and it's their last night in Islington, seems my lucky start, there will be more lucky in the whole thing. I use my pager as alarm to get the earliest express bus at 5:30am, but scmdw database has some problem and shutdown and can't startup so it automatically page me every 15 minutes, I want the alarm on so I didn't turn it off, so every 15 to 30 minutes I have to press the button not allow it shake. I called Raj to know about the situation because I didn't bring notebook with me so can't dialup to handle it, Raj said he can't resolve the problem so had to wait for next day, but I forgot to tell him turn off the detection and I don't want to bother him so late, I think he turn his pager off so he did not get the same trouble.

I catch the first bus and arrive at terminal 3 by 5:50am, and start waiting in the line for air transat, when i get to the counter the reception told me that the airline is sky service though my group is transat, then i goto the end of the lobby, there are lots of people wait in line but it's very fast since there are several check-in counters, just like transat. I am the first guy goto the gate.

there is a beautiful blondy stewardess in this plane, unfortuneately we didn't see her in the return flight.

I am the first check in this flight and later other friends told me they waste lots of time in air transat counter since when they check in lots of people wait there. so remember go as early as possible(suggest 3 hours before flight start) and check information counter to get the exact flight check-in information(there is a transat information counter that you can find out the exact flight company you take, I think if you see the flight is SVXXX then it's sky service.

After about 5 hours flight we reach the end, the weather is not that good, dark cloudy and seems just have a rain so not that hot, but I can feel the tropical humid that I already lost for 1 year. The travel van make me surprise, so simple but when we go along the street we found this is among the best car in the island, lots of old junk different shape everywhere, and not too much plants in the island, and buildings are poor, no forest, desolate, so a little bit disappointed, but in the end when close to hotel the trees along the roadside are much higher and cover the sky, and we can see jungle in the mountain. After 45 minutes we reach the hotel, this make me surprise, I thought it's a small island and I can take a bicycle everywhere, but I am big wrong, actually it is huge. The first impression is desolate, but later on this impression go to sky.

After we check in we have time to take a look this hotel:Portoflino & Portobello Complex, it's divided in to section, section 1 is a long main building and in the end is main restaurant, section 2 has lots of separate building like townhouses, it include gym, coffee bar, luxury house, power generation, etc. There are 2 swimming pool and one water volleyball pool, one swimming pool and the volleyball pool are behind the section 1, separate by a bar(we used it a lot later) and another big swimming pool is at the end of the section 2. behind the restaurant it's a long beach and close to the hotel is private and has lots of palm-tree and all equipment. there is also a beautiful tropical garden behind section 1. There are 6 bar totally, each pool has one and one in beach and one is a disco bar on the top of the building beside the stage for night show, and one bar in section 1 for formal dressing, the last one is coffee bar. All bars
serve drinks but different close time, for bar behind section 1 it also serve sandwich and sometime hold caribbean food like Mexico food(need reservation), coffee bar serve pizza, these two bar open all day from 9am to 1am, other only serve drinks and disco bar open from 9pm to 1am, beach bar and main swimming pool bar open from 9 to 5pm, formal dressing bar open from 6pm to 1am.

after a sleep i goto restaurant and meet my new friends in transat group and they are:kevin,a retired policeman; Allen smith, a funny old man, always get excited by trivial thing like antenna; Robert, a typical small fat Italian man with his pollish girlfriend, Angela, a slim girl always looks blue. Buffet is good, they have all kinds of juice, cola, wine, beer and fish, chicken, lots of fruits. After buffet we goto the main bar in section 1, there we meet another 3 friends from toronto but travel agency is sun-quest, they are Tom, a tall, calm, beard man
acting as a IT operation leader, same in my field; Marti, a good looking, talkative, thoughtful man work as chemical engineer in Hydro nuclear; and Mark, a big tall bald pollish, it remind me pollar bear and russian. We have lots of red wine, beer, B69(a bar special) and lots of different drinks, pretty good.

Then we goto the night show, we are late and only catch last two performance, but they are the best since the last one win the competition, it's a mimic famous singer competition. What we saw one is emulate Richie Martin, singing and dancing, and several girls dancing with him and the most funny part is at the end the girls catch the singer and start stripping, the funny guy keep
holding his speaker using one hand and one hand holding his last defense, the underwear, all other clothes are stripped or torn. The last guy mimic Michael Jackson, hair, hat, voice, pose, walk, gesture all 100% real, wonderful. when the show finish, the host bring all the performancer to the stage and lead everybody do the hotel special setting-up exercise, very funny when all audience dancing according to the funny rthym and it includes two part,one part is follow the host, he said like "walking, swimming, turn around, dancing", then we do the pose as he said and another part is faster, include two flap on thigh, two clap, two hands circling, and two steps on each side with hand curve like a egyptian dancing, the sound like "bomba bomba bom bom bom" and mix the whistling and funny voice("O E O E, O i O i").

Then we gather around the disco bar(name Congo), get the drink and in the dancing area there is a small stage and some dancer do a leading dancing there, sometimes 3 male and sometimes 3 female, the best song and dance in my memory is YMCA, and girls and boys dancing in the pool, there is a girl pretty slender, wearing yellow sex bra and long close fit skirt, swinging nicely, she is a
hotel dancer and I think she is most beautiful(except another white girl come from england). We rock and roll to the music and have a cup and a cup of drink ....

watch movie "Dark Man III" and pass out.

呵呵为了版面不要太长设置的，不过我的ie里面看起来很大，firefox里面看确实很小。如果你用firefox，按ctrl+就可以调大，ctrl-就调小。ie 菜单里的改大改小不是特别灵。
