Another Year

剛看了Mike Leigh的Another Year，覺得年老無依真可怕。Mary年華老去，生活不富裕又不討人喜歡，孤單得連個說話的人都沒有，得仰仗朋友施捨的溫暖和憐憫，活脫就是我將來的寫照，教人心寒。

戲倒是一流的好戲。

April 2011 Trip

I will depart for Milan on 15 April for a two-week trip. Here is my initial travel plan –

• Bologna (4 days) with day trips to Ravenna/ Rimini/ Modena etc
• Urbino (2 days)
• L’Aquila (2 days) [I am not sure if the city has recovered from the earthquake in 2009, so I am not sure if I should go there at all.]
• Lecce (2 days) [recommended by the B&B owner in Rome]
• Bari (2 days) with a day trip to Matera
• Rome (2 days) [Not sure if I should do Rome again. My consultant has invited me to join her in Venice. I think Venice is not a bad idea, but I would rather not meet with someone from work during a vacation.]

I have not yet worked out how to go from one place to the next. And I am a bit worried about the crowd during Easter.
