30、es that Olmsted had seen and admired around the world.

31、 people-watch from the hills. Today, many people cannot imagine New York City without its Central Park.Maybe it was watching those people enjoy his creation that inspired Olmsted.

36、en Danny Boyles movie Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd” (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation real

37、ly deserved?First of all, lets see what train spotting is. It is said that there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK.

39、rain-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers.

There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon in Britain.
