홍콩(Hong Kong)

미국 샌프란시스코(San Francisco)


When I awake, I can see through eucalyptus and palms and over red-tiled roofs a wedge of the Pacific Ocean. “Last edge of the U.S. of A.,” I think. I like my house perched on the last moment of the American West. A little ship floats across the window and I board it for a moment, imagining all the unknown worlds west of here.—Frances Mayes, author and resident




이탈리아 베네치아(Venice)


The first time I saw Venice I was dumbstruck at this glorious civilization emerging from the water, kind of crumbling, kind of leaning, and supporting itself still.
