    We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

    Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

    Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

神利用火车、汽船、电讯等交通工具来拆除国家与国家之间的围墙，使能四海一家和平共处。清政府却从起头就顽固地闭关自守，此举不但触怒各国，更是违背天意。因此招致天罚，屡遭羞辱。

——李提摩太（近代中国重要西方传教士，写于1894年）

  光绪十八年(1892)，我指导弟子们实习《仪礼》十八章。我为他们预备了各式各样的古代乐器……结果发现古笛太长，我们无法用手指按吹。突然间，我领悟到古代的人必定是巨大的伟人。因为那时候刚为盘古初开，气温高热。两千年后，太阳与地球的距离日远，气温降低，人的体积也随之缩小。因此，我们可以想象，再过两千年，人的体积必比我们更小，今日的笛对他们也无法适用。
