温哥华的夜如此的恬静,即使在冬季,依然象是熟睡的宝贝,温馨自然.

寒冷就象是街道偶遇的调皮孩子,没有恶意的擦身而过,

带着满意的笑声,回头探探,匆匆离去,来不及看清它的模样就消失的无影无踪.

 

温哥华富有夜的恬静,这个是北京至少现在无法奢望的财富.

刚刚去clubbing, 正在回家的路上.

相比酒吧中嘈杂的谈笑声，和令人脑浆翻滚的高分贝音乐。

室外的宁静和拂面的清风是如此的难能可贵。

从来都没有机会享受这分恬静.

今天终于有幸徜徉在其中.

深夜,没有丝毫吞没一切的压迫危机,

到是多了些给思维和身体伸展的空间.

 

现在大概是凌晨1点了，独自站在Graville大桥的桥头,

远眺脚下星星点点的城市之光.

珍珠般镶嵌在夜幕上,有些还不时闪烁其中.

静动被完整地勾勒在同一张画面中.

The World's Most Livable Cities

No. 3 (Tie)

Vancouver, Canada

(2006 Ranking: 3)

(Quoted from Businessweek.com)

 

Quality of life issues are often in the eye of the beholder. Yet in this age of global economic integration, executives and their families do place such factors as schooling, quality housing, health care, recreational amenities, and environment at the top of their list. Mercer Human Resource Consulting, which provides advice to multinational companies on international assignments, has come up with a global ranking of the world's most livable cities based on 39 criteria ranging from personal safety to public transportation.

A bustling and increasingly ethnically diverse city, Vancouver boasts stunning natural beauty and has a vibrant Chinese community. Its economy long ago diversified away from natural-resource trade in British Columbia, and the Port of Vancouver is the business seaport in Canada. The city has been dubbed Hollywood North, since it has emerged as the third largest film-production center after Los Angeles and New York. In 2010, the Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver and nearby Whistler.
