先有2008奧運,再有2010世博,接著是廣州的亞運。海峽對岸有花博,你不知道吧?但在臺北的市中心逛逛,我驚訝的發現花博也有倒數。這也許是華人對數字的著迷和執著。
剩下不到二十四小時 less than 24hr left
先是2008年8月7日拍到的北京奧運剩下不到二十四小時的倒數 first, less than 24 hours left on the clock before Beijing Olympics were to start. Photo taken on 7 Aug 2008.

Then came the very pride Shanghai Expo with regard to their filling beyond capacity most of the days throughout the half-year run, except when typhoons came by to say hi.
上海世博天天數人頭,主辦單位當然十分自豪啦!
臺北的花博也不甘後人 Not to be left hanging in the dust, Taipei will host

Bien sur, les jeux asiatiques 2010 à Canton ont leur propre compte à rebours. Les portes ouvriront le 12 novembre 2010. 當然還有下星期開幕的2010廣州亞運。

我想起在紐約市的財赤鐘,像是第六大道的吧。如果那亦是倒數的話,美國便不必不負責地大印銀紙,世界和平“指日可望”也。Only if the National Debt Clock of the USA is also one of countdown, we wouldn’t have the Iraqi invasion, nor the American government printing Greenback IRRESPONSIBLY. We would have gotten world peace then hahaha.
