Kenya

revered by many anthropologists as the 'cradle of humanity',this east-equator country is a little wild and dangerous.but if u r adventorous and sensible,it promises the globe's most magnificent wildlife parks,unsullied beaches,thriving coral reefs,memorable mountainscapes and ancient swahili cities.the swahili word safari(literally,journey)doesn't mean much if one didn't go to Kenya.it's said 'delving kenya is like rummaging through nature's treasure chest'.
there r more than 70 local tribes in Kenya. though distinction between them are blurred---western values are becoming more ingrained and traditional values are disintegrating,the first sentence they ask when first meet is always'which tribe r u from?'
more than 30% population is muslim,though most of the coastal region are domainated by christians.
kenyans love to party and beer---the local brewing industry is thriving.kenyan cuisine generally consists of beans and meat sauce.it's just survival fodder for locals---max fill-up with min price.kenyan food is not exactly designed for vegtarians or gourments.

Tanzania

'step out into its vast plain,u will suddenly feel very very small---as u should.they have the largest animal population in the world.despite the rowdy neighbours and weak economy,Tanzania offer the best wildlife spotting opportunities on the continent.its famous park make the pedestrain town worth a stopover.'
swahili and english are official languages. it's said that in island zanzibar,they speak the pure swahili,which attracts quite a few travellers there to learn.the two main religion groups: Christian and islam,with a significant hindu minority in urban areas.but it's said that there's no religious discrimination in political or civil administration.
not like other African countries,Tanzania doesn't have rich natural resources.but they export music and dance,which domains the East Africa.
the pre-20th century didn't have much to say.it wasn't untill the 18th century the Arab traders dared to explore the wild interior.As the 20th century loomed,the German coloniers came and build railways,roads...
Nationalist organizations grap independent in 1962,but unity and a charismatic president didn't overcome the country's lack of natural resources.his secret paranoia is radical socialism, a brave concept considering the communist paranoia of potential aid donors such as US.under the leader's chinese-back reform,the economy was nationalized.the better-off had to pay heavy tax in order to redistribute wealth.the early 1960s saw Tanzania,kenya and Uganda linked in an unlikely threesome.currencies could be freely conveted and moved across the border.but predictable political differences brought such cosiness to a halt in 1977,leaving Tanzania worse off than ever.many factors have distributed to the woes of modern Tanzania,the incorporation of Zanzibar created some additional problems.Zanzibar and neighbouring island experience occasional social unrest and political scare-mongers.meanwhile,the mainland had to deal with the refuguee flood from Rwanda. in late 1996,the president issued an anouncement back by UN declaring those refuguees going back home. but many of them stayed.
nothing distinguish happened...it's relatively safe and peaceful.

蓝蓝的诗

让我接受平庸的生活

让我接受平庸的生活
接受并爱上它肮脏的街道
它每日的平淡和争吵
让我弯腰时撞见
墙根下的几棵青草
让我领略无奈叹息的美妙

生活就是生活
就是甜苹果曾是的黑色肥料
活着，哭泣和爱——
就是这个——
深深弯下的身躯。


谈论人生

他好像在讲一本什么书。
他谈论着一些人的命运。

我盯着他破旧的圆领衫出神。
我听见窗外树叶的沙沙声。

我听见他前年、去年的轻轻嗓音。
我看见窗外迅速变幻的天空。

不知何时办公室里暗下来。
他也沉默了很久很久。

四周多么宁静。
窗外传来树叶的沙沙声。

一件事情

关掉灯
我 摸着桌子一角
在黑暗中

我要坦白
一件事情。交待
它的经过

——这个世界对我的失望
现在它
扎在我的肉体里。
就在从前
它的信任 爱
留在我的肉体里。
我允许我说
让失望吐出它的血块——

在黑暗中
谢谢黑暗的倾听
谢谢深夜 我四周的
墙壁 桌椅和怜悯。
虽然你们沉默
你们无所不知——

---

让那双爱你的手靠近

让那双爱你的手靠近，姑娘
让它们离开时沾满幸福
波浪、山峦、喷泉
长发、乳房、嘴唇
让与世界孪生的美找到名称

让那盲目的抚摩看见更多
梦中和渴望的指尖的复眼
你洁白的天鹅弯颈和探寻之间
生活又开始：
真正的教育和一寸肌肤
爱的孕育
刹那间保持下去的记忆的证言
呵，此刻窗外树枝的轻颤
与往日不同——
过去的一切 都已陈旧

在有你的世界上
在有你的世界上活着多好。
在散放着你芦苇香气的大地上呼吸多好

你了解我。阳光流到你的唇旁
当我抬手搭衣服时我想。

神秘的风忽然来了。你需要我。
我看到你微笑时我正对着镜子梳妆。

夜晚。散开的书页和人间的下落
一朵云走过。我抬头望着。
在有你的世界上活着多好。
下雪的黄昏里我默默盯着红红的
炉火。
