一月三十一日 - Cadiz

啤酒冰冷美味，發現竟然是San Miguel，但味道跟印象中的生力啤完全不同，有點難以置信。酒醉飯飽後頓感精力充沛，覺得在Cadiz要太陽就有廿三四度的陽光，要海水就有三面的大西洋，不可謂不幸福……

一月三十日 - Sevilla

重訪 Sevilla，天氣一如所料地不太冷，正好。抬頭就看見果實纍纍的橙樹和藍天。但我一點都不興奮，只覺得走了一整天的路，累死人。連Sevilla都不能讓我興奮，糟糕。

藍眼睛好看

1942年柏林生的人，照片中非常俊朗，眼睛湛藍湛藍。以為是舊照片，豈料真人跟相中人並無兩樣，毫無老態，眼睛藍得厲害。長這模樣，除非性格有問題，女人緣一定極好（可惜手上老大的婚戒）。說甚麼古來稀，他65歲時因國家規定退了休，正好轉個崗位再闖另一番事業。

(而我，最想立刻就退休……)

Investment

Somehow I find it difficult to make investments these days. There are all kinds of barriers to discourage you. The banks do not want your money. They want you to borrow from them, not put money in them. So unless you have a lot of cash to spare they don't really care. They give you close to zero interest, and they don't give you any service.

So I think I should invest my money in something. I go to a bank to ask for information and advice on their investment products. Now you don't get any info/advice unless you go to the designated officers in a designated area and fill out several questionnaires plus do a recording of your consent for their access to your info and giving you advice. Voice recording, as if you are a criminal under interrogation. Phew! They don't care that you don't have the time or the patience. They need you to do all these so that you won't be able to sue them for cheating you. And prices are high. And risks are high.

But if you don't do anything, your money shrinks. I used to be able to get 40 apples for HK$100. Now I can only get 25 apples for the same amount of money. I am going to starve!
