蓬荜生辉：布莱尔到访槟城蝴蝶园
|
自从槟城与马六甲晋级为世界文化遗产之城后，闻名遐迩的槟城蝴蝶园更是门庭若市，除了来自世界各国的游客之外，更吸引了许多名人雅士以及各国领袖慕名而来。
昨日，在所有人都毫不知情的情形之下，低调的前英国首相托尼.布莱尔(Tony Blair)偕同优雅大方的夫人谢丽(Cherie)，以及可爱的幼子利奥(Leo)，在家人的陪同下造访了槟城蝴蝶园，让我们错愕得来又欣喜万分。
这个拥有个人魅力，曾撰写过《New Britain: My Vision of a Young Country》等书的布莱尔，以俘虏人心的精彩绝伦演说著称。布莱尔除了惬意地享受蝴蝶园内的明媚风光之外，更不时与可爱的幼子谈笑互动，如果没有留意的话，肯定不会发现眼前这一位穿着随和亲切的男士，就是鼎鼎大名的前英国首相。
布莱尔一家除了细心欣赏蝴蝶飞舞的翩翩美姿之外，也在昆虫博物馆内忘我地瞻观了好一阵子，这些新奇绮丽的稀有昆虫，让小利奥频频称奇道绝；布莱尔夫人更在离开蝴蝶园之前购买了许多拥有纪念价值的精品。
为了驻留这一刻，槟城蝴蝶园的创始人吴天宝先生(Mr. David Goh)更把握了这个黄金机会，让布莱尔在我们的贵宾留言簿上提上一笔。
后记：在不知情之下，原来摄影机早已埋伏在旁，拍下了布莱尔此趟的索隐之行。相关报道请浏览以下的网页：
