Torino Train station Porta Nuova

The architecture style of Torino impressed me.

I enjoy taking pictures especially at dimmed light source. The low luminous condition makes all the bodies in the scene look more distinguished with each other and has a feeling of softness.

This is one of the train station, Porta Nuova, of Torino. It sitting on the end of the rails where I found many European stations prefer to sit the station at the end of a bunch rail threads. Of course they are often large stations. In Taiwan I often see railstations crossing railroads. Perhaps it is because Taiwan has fewer railroad branches.Posted by Hello

Grand Canal night view


On the second night of Venice trip we had some time roaming near the Grand Canal. I have to admit that at night this is a fairly beautiful city especially if you have a good camera you can take many fantastic picture here. Posted by Hello

A short break in Villa Gualino


I was sitting on the ground of balcony and chatting with Faik. He is a Turkish, a devout Muslim. Faik pray many times a day. During the trip to Venice with Faik, he had to make different number of pary for different day; for example, Sunday is likely more prays. So we did many praying breaks where he did his pray and I did my looking around or napping. Posted by Hello

This is one of the pictures Faik took for me when we were in Venice. I was crouching in front one of the little canal of Venice giving a posture of victory. Venice is a beautiful city but unfortunately the price of the some restaurants near the Grand Canal was too expensive for their service. However, I thought I should remember all the good points of my tour in Italy and not the bad points. Maybe it was only because I wasn't traveling with my lover that made me not really enjoyed the place? Or maybe it is really some point that the Venice ppl have to think about improving. Posted by Hello

Eating the C++ standard library pancake

Talked with Pary I've got some hints of further C language self-training. I have to get more of C in order to make my code tidier and more efficient. Hey! Who will care about my programming skill when they read my thesis? It's me that care.

I have made myself committed a series of crimes eating evil programming flavor pancakes. >_< I feel a little stuck in my neck already. In the beginning it was perl, then became Fortran, and then C, and whatever. What is my major actually?
Although it looks a little bit silly but finally I posted one of my picture on my blog. It is interesting to have a personal blog. I've started to think about what possibilities this weblog can have. It is a truly amazing thing.
