當查理和薩伊在巴黎相遇
本周末，我去電影院看《Taken3》。或許是巧合，一個戴小黑帽的老男人坐在我左側，右側不遠處，是個包頭巾的女青年。在猶太和穆斯林宗教勢力的包圍下，我終於看完了這部江郎才盡的好萊塢警匪片。一到家就聽到巴黎傳來的消息：薩伊兄弟(SaidKouachi)，在冷血謀殺《查理周刊》12人後，終於被斃。我立刻想到《Taken3》裏LiamNeeson的話，“[

今年11月從上海去泰國普吉島潛水，地點：KohBon,TaichaiPinnacle,PichelieuRock,NorthPoint,BreakfastBend,WestofEden,Anita’sReef,BoonSongWreck。與印尼比，這裏水溫高，暗流小，能見度好，對國內的潛水愛好者來說，普吉島是個價廉物美的方便去處。回程的飛機上，鄰座的一個女孩和我聊起潛水風險，她專門搜索過PADIAsiaPacific的統計資料，說死亡事故率是萬分之一點幾，我由此想起了兩次特殊潛[
