豐田社長淚灑 日媒轟美像審

豐田社長淚灑　日媒轟美像審判戰犯
NOWnews 更新日期:"2010/02/26 18:01" 國際中心／綜合報導

日本豐田汽車公司社長在美國國會遭到連番砲轟，甚至在媒體前哽咽掉淚，日本民眾看了很不忍，媒體甚至指摘美國議員把豐田社長當成「汽車戰犯」，更有所謂的陰謀論說這是美國在期中選舉前上演的政治秀，並且藉此為美國汽車業打氣。

豐田汽車社長豐田章男說，「在聽證會上我並不孤獨，你們(經銷商)和你們的同仁，在全美國、在全世界都和我站在一起。」很少在公開場合表露情緒的豐田章男，經過3個半小時的聽證會「洗禮」竟然哭了，這番真情流露軟化了日本民眾對他的看法。

在聽證會上強忍情緒的豐田章男，跟咄咄逼人的美國議員對照之下，似乎像誤入政治叢林的小白兔，當然美國脫口秀也不會放過這個話題，把大搞外遇的老虎伍茲跟豐田的道歉加以合成相提並論。

不過，日本民眾可笑不出來，東京電視台觀眾說，聽證會的場面令人想起二戰後的戰犯審判，這回是在審「汽車戰犯」，日本發行量最大的報紙讀賣新聞則指控美國國會議員把豐田汽車說得像「大壞蛋」，還說聽證會是譁眾取寵的政治秀，為的是在美國期中選舉前，轉移公眾對高失業率的關注。

就連美國媒體也看不下去，經常報導華府內幕消息的「尼爾森報導」指出，聽證會上看起來是民意代表質問豐田汽車，其實是共和黨藉機修理執政的民主黨，因為豐田汽車暴衝問題已有一段時間；另外，這些議員大罵豐田的同時，其實也是在幫美國的汽車工業打氣，尤其是共和黨一向被視為跟大企業來往密切，難免引發聯想。

華爾街日報也報導，根據美國高公局的統計，過去5年來汽車暴衝的第一名其實不是豐田而是福特，姑且不論陰謀論是否真有這回事，豐田得要痛定思痛才能贏回信賴。

這美國國會根本就是故意把Toyota講得很壞，讓美國人不要再買Toyota／日本車，打救美國那些爛車。也不想想美國車開不到一兩年就會出一堆問題，常常要拿去修理。日本車是開個10年都不會有甚麼問題。美國車自己搞不好，就拿日本車開刀，真的是太過分了！

情境農場

2／14－16 去了情境農場小住個3天2夜
住在清境竣悅空中花園渡假山莊
http://www.junyue.com.tw/room/index.php
環境還可以，不過房間小了點
服務態度不錯，可是飯真的很難吃
我們14人住了：
2間悅情蜜月套房A
1間和風4人房
1間和風2人房
1間和風3人房
共計5房 大概5萬多台幣
很貴！
如果真的要住
千萬不要在那裡吃飯！

到情境農場
我還是比較建議情境國民賓館
我去看過，還不錯喔
因為後來有重新裝修過
而且價錢比較合理。

情境的風景真的很不賴
超漂亮的！
國民賓館裡的櫻花和梅花
都開的很美。
是照相景點
遊客中心那裡也有很多好吃的
價錢也蠻公道的。

我們還去了太魯閣跟廬山溫泉
太魯閣霧太大
結果甚麼都看不見
一點景觀也沒有
廬山因為88水災
今年人很少

德國

第一次到德國經歷就那麼不好，真是倒楣。
本來還想說到慕尼黑參展，可以順便好好的觀光一下。
沒想到整天就只有坐在那邊無聊。白白的浪費了我一個禮拜的時間！
今年到ISPO真可以說是小貓兩三隻，來攤位問東西的人也是不多。
參展完了，想說可以去甚麼名勝古蹟看看。
可是外面天氣好冷，而且還下雪，害我甚麼興致都沒了。
參展完了就趕快會飯店吹暖氣。
不過德國鹹豬腳我倒是吃了。真不知道大家為甚麼會那麼喜歡吃也？
又鹹又多肉，吃完後覺得自己的命短了幾年。

在德國就已經不怎麼好玩了，想說快快回家。
結果要離開的那一天，竟然給我天氣不好下大雪，
搞個飛機停飛！讓我在機場等了1小時候，上了飛機再等個3小時。
到了倫敦來不及轉機，要再飯店待一晚。然後坐隔天晚上的飛機回港。
問題是，這樣我會來不及坐飛機回台灣過年。而且過年回台灣的飛機都很滿，
沒坐上就不用回去了，因為候補也不會有位子的。最後BA的人就跟我說我
早上5點起來，趕坐7：30的飛機飛到巴黎再轉機香港。
到香港時間已經是年30早上8點，
就趕得上了。

還沒完。。。到了香港出關再入關，連家都沒回。
直接在香港機場等家人到，然後坐華航回台南。
想說到了香港可以放心了，可是British Airways 竟然把我行李丟在倫敦！
好險我早料到有這事發生，所以打電話通知媽媽給我從家裡帶行李給我回台灣。
BA說我的行李回初二寄到我香港家。。。。。
把時差算上，我大概花了3天travel。
真有夠累的了。

7年來第一次過農曆新年

終於可以拿紅包了
不過我發現現在發紅包的人愈來愈少了
不像以前大人們是你送我家小孩
我送你家小孩的
親戚朋友們也不怎麼拜年的樣子

過年氣氛也越來越少
以前過年的時候
都會有武師舞龍遊街
紅包發給路人
大撒糖果
鞭炮聲不停
現在都沒了
搞甚麼麻
怎麼那麼重要的節日
大家都不太慶祝了呢

all the worst things happened in 1 day

I left the hotel on Thursday at 12:30 pm to get to the airport for my 4 pm flight to London Heathrow, then 6 pm flight to Hong Kong. If everything goes well, I'll be back in HK at 2:30pm Friday. But things never turn out the way you want them to be. Munich had a snow storm, so my flight got delayed for 4 hours! And I was stuck on the plane for 3 hours, waiting for a miracle to happen (waiting for it to stop snowing). When I got to London, it was already 9:45 pm, aka I missed my flight to HK and had to spend a night in London.
British Airways staff was very nice and helpful though. I told the guy that I have to get back to HK before 10am Sat (13th) to catch my flight to Taiwan for Chinese New Year and I cannot afford to miss it since it's Chinese New Year. Seats are so hard to get because everyone is trying to get home, I'll most likely have to spend Chinese New Year alone if I miss the flight to Taiwan. So, instead of putting me on an evening flight to HK (arrives HK Sat 2:30pm), he put me on Air France from London to Paris at 8:20am, then I'll take Cathay Pacific back to HK at 13:05pm (arrives HK Sat 7:30am). I was sent to Premium Inn Heathrow. BA gave me a bag with T-shirt, comb and toilettries, because my luggage was in the transit to Paris. I also got free dinner and breakfast.
Now, I'm sitting in the Cathay Pacific lounge relaxing (thanks to the frequent flyer card <3), and maybe do a little shopping later. Paris has really nice weather, which means I can finally go back to HK!!

It's snowing a lot here in Munich. I hope my flight won't be delayed.
This weather makes me think of the U of I. I miss snow ball fights and sledding at night!
I miss my friends :'(

last day in munich

I didn't get to go sightseeing here. I only went to 2 places in Munich: ISPO (exhibition) and Motel One (the hotel I'm staying at), sad........ I got to walk pass another area of Munich 2 nights ago and that part of the city doesn't look like America! It looks like Europe :P I saw a church that's supposed to be 800 years old and I saw a street performer playing piano in -5ºC weather.
It's snowing a lot here right now, I hope my flight won't be delayed tomorrow. I have no intention of spending chinese new year in europe.

munich day 1

From Hong Kong to London took like 13 hours, then an extra 2 hours from London to Munich. London Heathrow airport looks really nice now, compare to the old Heathrow I visited in 10th grade. I took the bus from the airport to the Main Station (train station), then a taxi to the hotel (Motel One- City West). Munich looks really similar to America, except people here speak German. forgot to charge my camera before i came, so no pix taken yet

Though the hotel is new and at a convenient location, this hotel sucks; the room is tiny like a shoe box, and there's no coffee maker/ telephone! What kind of hotel doesn't have telephone in the room?! So, I took the bus (buses here look like trams, but fast trams) to the city center and bought a kettle and some cups (yes, the hotel room doesnt even have cups!)

ok, cup noodles time now.
