  • 枫下沙龙 / 休闲娱乐 / 昨天朋友开车带着去了一趟大瀑布,场面当然很壮观,可是和想象中的还有一段距离,大瀑布也不过如此而已。倒是赌场颇具吸引力,玩了将近2个小时,虽然开始小赢了几把,最后还是输了个血本精光,终于体会到资本主义糜烂的生活了。
    • yeah, the fal is just water, just like when i saw the Great wall, just a wall; the 3 Gorges just a cliff
      • Yeah! Money is only pieces of paper! PPMMs are only human with eyes and nose in proper positions.
    • 没有坐船吧,那样感觉更好.
      • 没赶上坐船,倒是去了海洋公园,摸鲨鱼的感觉还不错
        • 海洋公园大吗?好玩吗?
          • 不太大,可以看海洋动物表演,可以摸鲨鱼,还可以喂鹿。那里的鲨鱼很坏,会向观众拍水,我们坐在第一排,差点溅着。
    • what is good is that if the sunshine is normal, it is nearly certain, you can see the pretty rainbow in afternoon
    • 好像多数同跑最后都有此一感,还是赌场最好玩:P...//sigh
      • I went to Niagary Falls last fall, and I really like it.
        The rainbow above the fall is really amazing!

        There're many visitors but you don't feel crowded.

        Unlike most tourist-actracting places in China, in NF you feel very relax and safe, no begger, no kids trying to cheat you, no sky-rocketting prices and no fear on being robbed or theft.

        BTW, I didn't go to the casino, I cared my money too much and I didn't believe I had good luck then. :-)
        • 初步估计下周六偶要去NF,以前是从美国那边看的,而且是冬季。discovery有一集是专门讲NF的形成,很好,这次去希望有地质考察内容:)
          • the best viewpoint
            is at Canadian side for the horse shoe (the most zhuang guan) view, and as a whole, Ca side is much better.
          • The falls look like a kind of punishment to Yankees. Most of the Falls are within US border, but Americans can not enjoy the beauty from their side. What a justice !!! :)))))
            • 是啊,看过那个节目,知道了很多NF的故事。
              很恐怖的是,很多人钻进木桶或别的自行研制的设备从上面摔下去,有人成功有人失踪,这不是玩命吗?

              很有趣的是,美国人当年把美国瀑布断流,希望把下面挖深一些,让美国瀑布和加拿大瀑布一样壮观,结果断流后,发现如果把下面挖了,地质松动,上面就会倒了,只好放弃。另外的收获就是下面有两句殉情的尸体和无数的硬币。

              很遗憾的是,为了发电,现在瀑布的流量只有真正流量的一半,另外一半都从下面冲发电机去了。所以现在的瀑布远不如原来壮观。有人建议每年让瀑布不发电,全流量奔腾咆哮一回,让游客过过瘾,但担心会冲走瀑布下面的所有设施,被放弃~~~

              很吸引人的是瀑布下游,那里记载着多少万年前瀑布走过的路,瀑布现在仍然在倒退,最后会退进大湖消失掉,人们还有多少年可以看到大瀑布?这是地质学家特别感兴趣的话题。

              美国那边有个雕像,水利发电征服大瀑布的第一人!猜猜是谁?
              • a Chinese gentleman?
        • agree with you
        • 下次准备坐船到大瀑布底下体会一把,听说很不错。 等我找到工作了,还准备去米国那边瞧瞧。
          • 一天时间够去两边的吗?
            • 时间上应该没问题。
    • 去大瀑布一天好还是两天好呢?
      • One day is enough.
