Olympic Cities Then & Now 奧運古址昔今

9 Historic Olympic Cities And What They Look Like Today
Some venues were repurposed and used for years after the games; others were abandoned and fell to disrepair.
1. Lake Placid, New York, 1932 — III Winter Olympic Games
James B. Sheffield Olympic Skating Rink
Then: The 1932 Winter Games’ opening and closing ceremonies, along with speedskating and ice hockey events, were held in the Olympic Skating Park. Seating was constructed along the rink to hold 7,500 spectators.
Now: The skating park was renovated to accommodate the 1980 Olympics. Between both Olympic Games, the rink hosted the local Lake Placid High School football games. The rink is now open for public skating.

Lake Placid Olympic Ski Jumping Complex
Then: The Intervales Ski-Hill held a capacity of 9,200 spectators. The first ski jump was built in 1917 but was renovated a few times before hosting the 1932 Games.
Now: The original ski jump was demolished and rebuilt before the 1980 Games in Lake Placid. The site is now home to an Olympic training center — the Lake Placid Olympic Ski Jumping Complex.

2. Los Angeles, California, 1932 — X Summer Olympic Games
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Then: The Coliseum opened in 1923 and was the first stadium to host two Olympic Games (1932 and 1984.) The stadium was home to the opening and closing ceremonies, along with the majority of track & field events for both Olympic Games.
Now: The stadium is one of the most historic venues in the United States, hosting many major sporting events over the years. The Olympic torch is re-lit for the fourth quarter of University of Southern California football games and during present-day Olympic Games.

Grand Olympic Auditorium
Then: The Grand Olympic Auditorium was, at the time, the largest indoor venue at 15,300 seats. The building hosted wrestling, boxing, and weightlifting events throughout the games.
Now: After years of hosting concerts, professional wrestling, and rave parties, it is now home to the Glory Church of Jesus Christ, a Korean-American church, after being purchased in 2005.

3. Berlin, Germany, 1936 — XI Summer Olympic Games
Olympiastadion
Then: Berlin was awarded the 1936 Olympic Summer Games two years before the Nazi regime took control of Germany. The German Olympic Committee built Olympiastadion, a 100,000-plus-seat stadium, that they hoped impress the World.
Now: Since the 1936 Games, Olympiastadion has played host to many events, including three FIFA World Cup events and countless concerts. Olympiastadion went under a multimillion-dollar renovation in preparation for the 2006 World Cup.

Olympic Village outside of Berlin
Then: The Nazi regime was a huge presence throughout the Olympic Village, located in Estal, Germany (15 miles west of Berlin). Athletes were constantly watched over throughout the entire Olympic Games.
Now: The former Olympic Village is now deserted, except Jesse Owen’s dorm room, which has been kept fully intact.

4. Oslo, Norway, 1952 — VI Winter Olympic Games
Bislett Stadion
Then: The 1952 Winter Games marked the first time a Scandinavian country hosted the Winter Games. Bislett Stadion was used for the opening and closing ceremonies, along with speedskating events.
Now: The original stadium, which was voted one of the “top 20 sports venues of the 20th century,” was demolished in 2004 and replaced by New Bislett Stadion. The new stadium was a part of a failed bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics and a current bid for the 2022 Games.

Holmenkollbakken
Then: Constructed in 1892, the ski jumping hill underwent a slew of renovations before the 1952 Games. A crowd in excess of 100,000 cheered on as Norway won the gold medal in ski jumping.
Now: Holmenkollbakken has hosted three World Championships since the 1952 Games. The structure was completely demolished and rebuilt between 2008 and 2010, in preparation for the 2011 World Championships.

5. Sapporo, Japan, 1972 — XI Winter Olympic Games
Mt. Teine Bobsleigh Course
Then: The 1972 Winter Games were the first winter games to be held outside of North America and Europe. The track was built between 1969 and 1972, and it took workers 20 days to create ice on the run that was 5 inches thick. A total of 127 lamps lit the track so competition could take place at night.
Now: The track was dismantled and abandoned after Nagano was awarded the 1998 Winter Games. The original bobsled house is still standing but is empty and ridden with graffiti.

6. Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, 1984 — XIV Winter Olympic Games
Then: The 1984 Winter Games marked the second consecutive Olympics to be held in a communist state. The bobsled track was constructed in 1982 on the Trebević Mountains, which overlooks the city of Sarajevo.
Now: The bobsled track is mostly intact, except it is now home to overgrown foliage and graffiti. The majority of venues from the 1984 Games have been deserted and sprayed with bullet holes from the Bosnian War of the ’90s.

7. Calgary, Canada, 1988 — XV Winter Olympic Games
Paskapoo Ski Hill
Then: The ski hill was a part of the Canada Olympic Park during the 1988 Winter Games. The venue held 35,000 spectators and overlooked the city of Calgary.
Now: Various phases of renovation have been done to the park since the Olympics left town, but the Canada Olympic Park is still actively used during the winter months, along with the summer months for mountain biking and festivals.

8. Athens, Greece, 2004 — XXVIII Summer Olympic Games
Olympic Stadium Spyros Louis
Then: The Olympic Stadium was built in the early ’80s but renovated in preparation for the 2004 Games. These Games marked the first time the Olympics were held in Greece since 1896.
Now: The stadium is one of the few venues from the 2004 Games that is still in use. It’s played host to many major events, including the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final and stadium rock concerts.

Hellinikon Olympic Softball Stadium
Then: Constructed in 2004, the venue held in excess of 4,000 spectators and hosted the entire Olympic softball competition.
Now: Although it is not technically “abandoned,” the stadium has not held a softball game inside since the gold medal final in the 2004 Olympics.

Faliro Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre
Then: The stadium was built to hold over 9,000 spectators and hosted all beach volleyball events during the 2004 Games.
Now: Overgrown with grass and sitting empty, the stadium now joins the long list of wasted Olympic venues.

9. Beijing, China, 2008 — XXIX Summer Olympic Games
Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Ground
Then: The volleyball grounds was one of nine temporary Olympic venues that hosted events, including one main grounds that was surrounded by six training courts on the outside.
Now: Only six years have passed and the grounds have since been left empty. The structure remains intact, but the decorations and banners, which hung from the building, are now torn and falling down.

Beijing National Aquatic Center
Then: Built over a span of three years, the “Water Cube” was spectacle during the 2008 Games. Close to 17,000 spectators watched 25 World Records broken during the events, along with Michael Phelps’ winning a record eight gold medals during the games.
Now: A massive renovation took place after the Olympics left town, turning the inside into a water park. The building and water park have even won awards for innovation and engineering.

Happy Valentine's Day 情人節快樂

Happy Valentine's Day
情人節快樂





Clouds Are Deep, Feeling Is Also Deep 雲深情也深

Teresa Teng -Clouds Are Deep, Feeling Is Also Deep
鄧麗君-雲深情也深
輕輕問一聲 悄悄寄白雲
思念的人兒 別來可無恙

輕輕說一聲 悄悄告訴你
門前的小樹 都已成綠蔭

雲深遮遠樹 愛心更無邊
默默地祝福 早日能相逢

I gently ask, ask the white clouds
The one I miss Is he ok?

I gently say, quitely tell you.
the little tree in front of the door has grown up.

The clouds are deep, cover the trees on the mountain,
My love is also deep and boundless.
I silently bless bless that we can meet earlier.

Where there is charity and love 有慈善和愛的地方

Ubi caritas et amor, Ubi caritas deus ibi est. (Latin)
Where there is charity and love, God is there. (英譯)
有慈善和愛的地方,神存在那裡。

Ubi caritas et amor, Ubi caritas deus ibi est.
Since the love of Christ has gathered us together,
May we share in joy and gladness now and always.
Let us love the living God in awe and rev’rence;
Let us with a heart sincere love one another.
Ubi caritas et amor, Ubi caritas deus ibi est.

Therefore when we come together many as one,
Let us be all single mind and single purpose.
May we cease all envy, strife, and proud divisions.
May Christ Jesus dwell among us now and always.
Ubi caritas et amor, Ubi caritas deus ibi est.

May we, with your blessed ones, gain grace to see you.
See your face, O Christ our God, in radiant glory.
Let the earth and heavens ring with joy unbounded.
Praises worthy of your name, both now and always.
Ubi caritas et amor, Ubi caritas deus ibi est.

Family Reunion 團圓

蔡琴-團圓 2014


词:蔡琴 曲:法国曲
每年盼这一天 装满的是我所有思念
这一天是我家的庆典 不比烟花漫天只要和你见面

这一天让心愿兑现
回乡路再远 我不怕疲倦

车声隆隆一路向前 回想过去每一天
经过多少人情冷暖 点点滴滴在心间

见过再多繁华市面 比不上我心爱的家园
万语千言 归心似箭 团圆就在眼前

车声隆隆一路向前 一站比一站喜悦
这是最虔诚的心愿 山高水远 见一面

听过再多蜜语甜言 比不上母亲温暖笑颜
万语千言 归心似箭 团圆就在眼前
啦~~

万语千言 归心似箭 团圆就在眼前
万语千言 归心似箭 团圆就在眼前
啦~~
