We had a very wonderful family day. We went to High Park to view cherry blossoms.
Although it is not as mind-blowing as what we viewed in Tokyo, it's still worth driving there to have a look. Most importantly, it's the very first time Adley views cherry blossoms. It seems that she loved viewing it and playing in the park. What a wonderful family day.
What's more, we found a space in the busy parking lot nearby. Thank God for your preparation.
There were really full of people, but it's still not as much as that in HK.
All in all, though it's a bit exhausting, there's still lots of fun. It's really a very nice and long-awaited family activity in Toronto every year.
今年開始讀master，第一個學期，因為學校工作的繁忙及剛重拾書包的適應，只選修了一課----Issues in Hong Kong。這是一個用社會學角度去分析香港正對的問題，最深刻的是他提到香港引以為傲的積極不干預政策，是源於港英政府的殖民地管治心態，而非一種有意識的行為，而這行為，雖令香港有優勢成為國際金融中心，但卻失去了二十年可以發展本土工業的時間，落後於南韓，台灣及新加坡。
這一課開了我的眼界，發覺社會學原來比自己想像中更有趣，能解釋世界及社會發生變遷背後的原因，一種新的視野去看世界。例如，我們成日都嚷著要民主，但當年台灣南韓新加坡發展國家時，卻需要一個高度集權的政府才能作各樣的建設。modern state就需要經歷這個階段。
另外，我亦發現原來自己能夠用四個鐘頭的時間，打好一份2600字的功課，最後更竟然可以攞到個A-!!真的是意外收穫！證明唔好諗咁多，只要有個大綱，加埋肯頭也不回地寫，就總可以寫到啲野出黎！！
圖為prof.帶我們考察中環，認當年外資如何割據中環，政府如何退到山上，華人為何聚居到上環，孫中山在那裡發跡...十分有趣！
