So since I now live in Paris, here are my favourite things to do in this city:

1. Have a wine or three and chat with the regulars in Chez George (6eme). The most wonderful wine bar I know.

2. Get completely lost walking

3. walk along the banks of the Seine on a summer’s evening

4. wander around one of the produce markets

5. Fall in love again and again with the musée d’orsay

6. Ditto for the garden of the musée Rodin

7. sitting in the sun in the Luxembourg gardens

8. a crepe from the chez nico on rue mouftard

9. seeing people be nice to each other on the metro (which happens surprisingly often)

10. running through the streets with a belly full of wine on a warm summer evening shouting declarations of love to the city/a woman/life 5 years ago

I added another 5 places under Ipswich in 43 Places tonight. I still need to go back and add entries for some of them though.

A little bit of progress at least! 5 years ago

OK, so I had to concentrate to come up with ten things worth sharing about my city. It was a good exercise. 7 years ago

I am not yet hip to Technorati, or for that matter, to any other tagging system, but give me a week and I’ll get up to speed. Then I can do this right. But in the meantime, ten places in my city:

1. Holy Apostles Orthodox Christian Church. The coolest thing happens here every Sunday: heaven and earth collide, and for a little while, we worshippers exist outside of time and fully in the presence of God. You really should try it sometime.
2. Richland County Public Library, main branch. This is the best library system anywhere, hands down.
3. Cafe Streudel in West Columbia. Fun and funky. Not too hip for me to feel like I can’t eat there unselfconsciously. Art I appreciate on the walls, and most of it is for sale.
4. The SC State Fair in October. Our state fair is a great state fair. Don’t miss it. Don’t even be late.
5. Main Street. The trees have little white lights in them and the buildings are, for the most part, old and charming. Nice view of the State House from there, too.
6. Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Beautiful and always improving. It’s so lovely that I can forgive the smell.
7. EdVenture, the children’s museum. Those of you who have been to the Children’s Museum in Boston will be unimpressed, but for SC, it’s really pretty nice. Especially nice is the room for tiny children, two and under, although I guess I won’t be hanging out in that room for too much longer.
8. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts on Knox Abbot Road. When we moved to Columbia eight year ago, we ate here every single Saturday morning. There’s something really special about watching the doughnuts ride down the assembly line, then eating a hot one just after it rounds the bend out of the glazer.
9. Little China Buffet on Decker Blvd. The quality here varies more than I’d like, but it’s still our favorite Chinese restaurant. I could happily eat Chinese food every single day for the rest of my life.
10. Five Points, the intersection of five streets downtown. Lots of groovy little stores and cafes. One of the few pleasant places to walk.

It must be said that although Columbia is pleasant in many ways, and is a good place to live, with a good highway system, several decent museums, two library systems, adequate retail outlets, ample downtown parking, and a number of good restaurants, it’s simply not the magical, picturesque, happening sort of city I would choose to live if I were thinking only of myself. I can come up with ten really magical places in some other cities, no problem—like Charleston, SC, or San Francisco. I had to really concentrate to come up with ten places worth sharing here in Columbia. I don’t want to give the wrong impression about my city; I do feel it’s very liveable. But it’s certainly not very sexy. 7 years ago

1. Climb down the cliffs and go fishing in the ocean near Bondi
2. Catch a ferry to Manly and come back to the city just as the sun is setting
3. Swim in the ocean with the fish
4. Bodysurf until your ears are full of sand
5. Have coffee and a blueberry bagel at Cafe Ella (sigh)
6. Watch the boats sailing on Sydney Harbour
7. Go on a Sydney Architecture Walk (with my friend Eoghan)
8. Watch old people run for the bus (and then watch their eyes light up when they catch it)
9. Walk from Coogee to Bondi along the cliffs
10. Look at the city with the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time 7 years ago

过年的气氛已经很浓了，不久前由上海回来的Sherry让我给她介绍些这个南方城市的一些值得的去处，我满口答应下来、可是一直没时间写。刚好Owen的博客最近有个有意思的分享话题：”share 10 place of your city”，看了前面一些朋友对各自城市的介绍，觉得很精彩，所以也来加入--介绍我生活在深圳这个城市的一些去处-这是一个和暖的冬日、阳光从23楼的窗户斜照着我和我的本本，单感觉就已经很小资了…

1、华侨城OCT广场：简单生活、午后浓香、2+1书店、顺访茶馆及其他
我曾在华侨城住了3年多，海归建筑师冯越强通过OCT广场的设计成功的营造了OCT广场的和谐宁静生活。环OCT广场有许多值得知识工作者常去的地：要安静的读读好书、并体会店员真诚的服务可以去简单生活；而午后浓香是我特别中意的咖啡馆；顺访茶馆可以打打牌（在前面两处可不行）；2+1书店书多，看书的人让人很舒服。

2、华侨城波托菲诺纯水岸
这两年，波托菲诺纯水岸俨然已经成为真正的富人区了。当然，临水岸的一条街还是开放的，丹桂轩和波托菲诺服务式公寓为这个宁静僻远的角落带来了人气，还有illy咖啡、罗马雪宫的提拉米酥和酒味冰激凌都值得一试。上次去的时候，有几个很帅的金发小伙子开着游艇在岸边拍时尚广告—对了，这里显然已经成为摄影师的最爱。

3、海上世界和太子广场
10年前远在深圳西边的蛇口海上世界就已经是老深圳的必去之处，如同罗湖的国贸。现在由招商地产精心改造过后的海上世界和太子广场更加美丽非凡！
我喜欢中午到星巴克要杯卡布基诺，在店门外坐着看《周末画报》；晚上我带着家人去太子广场里面的麦香园吃便宜实惠又美味的山东菜。如果你想吃西餐，还有巴西烤肉也绝对正宗—这里可是深圳最多老外的地方哦！

4、莲花山
到这里放风筝，欣赏一下深圳CBD，看看火红的杜鹃花…山顶小平像旁边有个绝佳的去处—一个非常值得进的厕所！

5、红树林
最好开车前往，可以在不同季节或一天的不同时间前去。注意：不同时间看不同的鸟—碰到有个摄影爱好的老头告诉我：一共有300种之多！

6、华强北
最好不要开车去，即使开车去也要选对时候去。
如果不是因为一些美食和霓裳，华强北也不会人满为患：我去嘉华市场买霓裳、旧天堂刻CD；到紫荆城旁边吃贵州酸汤鱼；到华神烫火锅；到光头吃香辣蟹；到深运吃潮州打冷…

7、大鹏所城到西冲
深圳的东部是真正让游客动心的地方。大小梅沙去的人太多，也腻了。如果有一天时间自架出游，可以去看看大鹏所城、把车开到西冲最高的山崖边、已经没有了路—南中国海一望无际。
在海滩边随浪的滩钓，很多小贪吃的小石斑，很过瘾—我夏天去过。

8、中信广场和华润万象城
中信广场：可以看见本城最好的商品和美女如云，入夜到广场上新建的玻璃街上随便找个咖啡店或者酒吧坐下，关键不是地方多特别-是要找对一起闲坐的对象-希望你的那位酒伴不是一个乏味的人！ 哈根达斯对面的Cristal酒吧我去过几次：走到最里面靠左侧的埃及座位，如果时间是正午，阳光从玻璃边的小院射进来—很奇特的视觉感受！
华润万象城：最适合开车前往，不用下地下室，把车直接停二楼下车后一迈过玻璃自动门就是琳琅满目的商业中庭。星巴克把了一个很好的位置，我喜欢在那个地方约朋友喝咖啡。

9、V BAR和E-CLASS BAR
喜欢夜生活和喝酒的朋友注意了，深圳好的酒吧真的不多。
华侨城威尼斯酒店的V BAR现在也快变成大茶馆了，好象全城的人都来了：虽然依旧有大钵的苞米花送，周末位置却难找。免费车库都被酒鬼们的靓车塞满了，住店客人和访客深受其苦—所谓有得必有失。原来住在旁边，有时候下晚班停下车我先去吧台要杯酒，而现在已经很少去了。
罗湖的晶都酒店E-CLASS BAR装修绝对时尚潮流，走廊的玻璃柜里面十分自在的炫耀着名牌的享受品：万宝龙的钢笔、江斯丹顿的手表、CK的男士香水…DAVID跟我说：关键是那些好看的节目和穿着体面而趣味相投的异性。

最后一个地方，我留给自己和朋友…
