Cuttie Conflicts

可愛的衝突

幾個月前在elle雜誌裡一個小角落看到他們的消息。
這對住在洛杉磯,十幾歲的雙胞胎蓮和琳,
而他們倆更為人所知的是他們的合唱團─"普魯士Blue",一個鼓吹白人崇高以及希特勒崇拜(?)的樂團。
雖然在他們的網站上說明了他們的歌曲目的是希望能夠對自己的膚色、種族充滿自信。
不過充滿爭議的歌詞卻又讓人懷疑他們的真正目的
好比說在他們一首叫"亞利安人覺醒"的歌中唱到:

..."生活在一個自由只屬於深色皮膚之人的地方...
亞利安人覺醒吧 你們還能承受多少 把恐懼轉為仇恨 亞利安人覺醒吧"...

老實說我聽到"把恐懼轉為仇恨"這句的時候,確實嚇到了。
於是這團體便在白人崇尚團體以及新納粹組織中廣為流傳。這對外表天真無邪,內心卻藏著散播仇恨的靈魂,這不是可愛的衝突嗎?

I read an article about them, whom lives in Los Angeles, twin sisters, Lynx and Lamb Gaede, few months ago in an old ELLE magazine.
And they are famous for their band "Prussian Blue" known as a white proud and a Hitler worshiper(unsure) band.

Despite they had announced that songs they sing are try to make people be proud of their races and their colors.
Their controversial lyrics may be contradiction.
In the song " Aryan Man Awake" they sing,
..."Where freedom exists for only those with darker skin."
..."Aryan man awake, How much more will you take, Turn that fear to hate, Aryan man awake." ...

It really freaks me out when I heard "turn that fear to hate".
So Prussian Blue is famous among some white proud groups and Hitler worshipers.

Arn't the twin who with innocent looks and souls that spread hatred beneath cuttie conflicts?

I Servived the Thailand Trip - 2

泰國生存錄 2
On the 3rd day in Thai, we were acturally stay in a hotel at Pataya. And that was where we finally had a chance to go everywhere near the hotel ( hotel we stayed on the first night was in middle of no where.).

There is a long and straight road out side the hotel, walk along to the end of the road, there is a Family Mart.
I found a great drink there, "Zenya Green Tea".
It's not like regular green tea, it tastes more like Japanese "matcha" green tea. Really good.
There are 3 flavors of Zenya green tea, and the original "matcha" flavor is within.
After I return from Thai, I did a search on Thai green tea and found there is one brand make even more than 10 flavors of green tea, that's crazy. And flavors even Japanese would ask "what's that?".

泰國第三天晚上我們在芭達雅,終於有機會到旅館附近走走。
(第一天晚上的旅館在鄉下的荒野中)
旅館外有一條又直又長的路,一直走到底有一間全家便利商店,
在那裡發現了一個美味─ Zanya綠茶。
這綠茶和一搬市售綠茶差得可多,他有日式抹茶(注意是"抹茶"抹茶喔!)的味道,超特殊、超好喝。
Zanya還出了另外兩種口味的綠茶,但抹茶的味道還是基礎。
之後回來,稍微搜尋了一下泰國綠茶的資料,還發現有一個牌子出了十幾種不同口味的綠茶
有些口味甚至連日本人看了都要問這是什麼。
