It's more difficult than I've thought. After all I've experienced dozens of goodbyes throughout the past several years, say the commute between home and Nanjing, once or twice a year, South Korea, where my first time abroad , and Beijing, where I went to win my bread. All the way to the airport, I tried so hard to be cheerful and forget about all the unhappy reality. But finally at the boarding gate, where dad and mum would have their pass checked in a minute or so, I burst out, weeping like a child right in mum's hug. I know, it's time to say goodbye, again. Nothing could stop it from happening, we all know. On my way back to Reykjavik, alone, one very special goodbye popped up, well the 1st one was mum seeing me off at the dock by the side of Minjiang River before I headed to ride the train to Beijing. Mum was very thin but still tried to help me out with the kinda heavy luggage. I persuaded her to go back while the ferry wouldn't be leaving in half an hour. Unexpectedly ...

远离故土，语言不通，文化迥异，但并不代表就是陌路人。微笑，即是我们共同的语言。 晚饭后的散步快要结束时，撞见一群正在玩轮滑的冰岛美女。她们主动要和我们合影。咔嚓一声之后，最右边的女孩激动地说，“这是我们的荣幸”。 又是一次晚饭后的散步，议会广场。妈妈走上前，拉住女孩的手说，你非常可爱。女孩十分配合地甩了下PP。 欧洲各国童子军齐集雷克雅未克。表姐逮住一帅哥美女赶紧凑上前。 到哪都能撞上脸皮厚的，瞧这大胡子老兄，硬是往姨妈脸上凑。 满大街的街头艺术，这位小朋友的打扮是最有特色的。 业余的一帮家伙混到专业的登山队当中，也显得专业了，不是吗？ 妈妈说，冰岛姑娘长得水灵（啥时给我找一个做儿媳妇）… 四川的火锅在冰岛还在很有市场的。看大家迫切地眼神：路易，赶紧拍完我们好动筷子！

6月24日23时35分许，凯夫拉维克国际机场。来自阿姆斯特丹的冰航班机伴着日落的余晖，徐徐降落。来得刚刚好。去年12月Jenny带妈妈的毕业之旅并特意前来冰岛探班、今年5月雪儿只身一人闯欧专程来冰探望的感动还留有不少余温，无时无刻不在提醒我，I’m not alone。即便是，也是幸福地孤独着。没错，爸妈来了，在经历了从成都到阿姆斯特丹再到雷克雅未克的万里飞行之后，安全抵达。感谢荷兰的WUMING大哥，二老转机的事劳你费心，你在机场为他们买的HOTDOG我尝了一口，味道不错。岁月变迁的痕迹和旅途奔波的憔悴，清楚地写在爸妈的脸上。2007年12月14日首都机场分别时的那一瞥，早已模糊急待更新了。“上车，咱们回家”。 7月9日16时35分许，再见凯夫拉维克机场。来自慕尼黑的冰航班机（没错，飞来飞去都是冰航）在狂风中降临，安然无恙。拥抱吧亲人，2年不见了。上次见面是2007年11月，姨妈和表姐踩着那年秋天的尾巴进京。说是深秋，实已进入北风呼啸的冬。姨妈怕冻，后圆的小屋显然不够温暖，最后被冻得头晕，把表姐和我都吓坏了。冰岛的夏准比北京那次要暖和得多，我不止一次向她保证。行李提取处escalator的上端，远远的，她们来了。“上车，我们去蓝湖”。 下飞机奔往蓝湖，成了一种routine。一路上如果非要说有什么好看的，就是长满苔藓的火山岩。来过冰岛的朋友都知道，光秃秃的一片，没有树没有草，除了冬天盖满白雪不太一样，其余季节都是毛茸茸的苔藓，只是颜色不尽相同。出发前爸妈以舟车劳顿为由竭力反对我直接带大伙去蓝湖的提议。当然他们怎么可能知道蓝湖的最大功效即是让疲劳的旅行者红光满面，容光焕发。我们拎着相机和摄像机一顿狂闪，之后静静地享受泡蓝湖的放松和做天然面膜的乐趣，期待着十分钟之后皮肤都美得跟当地人一样样。 接下来的二十天，一路上班一路安排亲人的观光路线，尽可能加大强度充实行程，为的是继续贯彻一贯的接待宗旨，不能让任何人在离开时带着一丁点的遗憾。Goldern ...

雷克雅未克的7月8月，永远称不上盛夏。温度不过25，大多数时候维持在15附近。但凡阳光能照射到的地方，总有熙熙攘攘，人影相随。在经历了极富戏剧性的2008之后，2009相对平淡。金融危机的后遗症，随着时间的消逝，越来越不明显。议会前抗议的人数，从数千人减到寥寥无几即是最好的证明。或许是季节的关系，也可能是全球经济危机行将触底反弹带来了希望。也有可能，是冰岛人最终学会了冷眼旁观，漠视一切。 我无心留意。当下最紧要的，是家人的急速降临。

Couldn't believe they were already up. It's merely 6:00 something in the morning, jet lag. I struggled to get up from the couch, staring at them and bit myself to prove it's all reality. They are here, with me for 2 months. Hunger finally made them cave in and noodles was automatically the first choice, as we did in Sichuan. And to the point I was totally amazed, that 'keep your mind open and soak in the experience', they're both mentally and physically ready for any adventure lies ahead. They barely speak any foreign language other than Sichuan dialect if it counts, and I don't plan to give them any city map or GPS, not in this case. They will explore all about the city on their own. Somehow I was worried before they left China and transfer in the Netherlands. Mum paniced a couple of times, repeating the cliche of 'lost in an exotic country', which's long been one of her fantasies. But once they appeared at the escalator of Keflavik International Airport, all those anxieties, gone. ...
