孟买的恐怖袭击事件，让我再度想起了安全这个议题。
在印度及东南亚工作的时候，进入任何公共设施通常都需要搜身安检。车辆进入酒店要检查。当地人习以为常。我最初颇为讶异，社会的安全感便如此低吗？
北京奥运前夕，地铁线路全面展开了严格的包裹安检。这些安检到今天也没有取消，乘客如今也非常适应并合作；而那些球状的警用防爆装置（直径约1米，金属制成，内空）亦成了北京地铁的镇站之宝。

有一些想法在脑子里绕了很久了，一直没有成形。
这两年奔波于亚洲诸国，看到了很多不同的生态。当时对于中国形成了这样几点对比：
中国的基建，在东部沿海已经非常先进了，并且效率非常高。可以对比中国的机场和印度、印尼的机场
中国的社会，虽然深层次存在很多问题，但总体治安等等尚好，至少在东部重点城市是这样的，而在我所去过的几个国家，社会问题都是非常尖锐的直接摆在你的面前的——赤贫，腐败，治安问题，都是...

In Bruges is a frustrating film. It has many good things going for it, but never cumulates into a coherent story. Instead, the end result is a confusing film that’s too slow to be a thriller and to...
