旅行的人總是浪漫的
除夕夜是在Fiji Tavenui一間簡陋的旅館過的
商店都關門很可憐的啃餅乾度日
只是為了在2007年1月1日找到一邊是今天一邊是昨天的那條線
(180度國際換日線)
Tavenui, 昨日之島
一邊是2006, 一邊是2007
2006年的我在紐西蘭過的很快樂
2007年的我又會是什麼樣子勒....
現在都9月了
只能說是天堂與地獄的分別吧XD

跟Masako在Lake Tekapo相遇, Oamaru又遇到
她在回日本的前三個禮拜打算去Nelson唸一下語言學校
我那時剛好在Nelson做交換
她就來跟我ㄧ起住
(不過只住了一個禮拜就搬去另一間比較好的旅館,可以想見我那時交換的那間旅館有多差XD)
兩個人閒來無事就開始做做餅乾和蛋糕
她還收集了一堆食譜
我生平第一次做成功的餅乾就是她教的
(我在台灣素有料理白痴之稱,經過她的調教之後,覺得做料理其實也沒那麼難)
那時很想吃cheese cake
她就給了我這份食譜
只是後來沒有機會做(因為材料都還蠻貴的)她就回日本了
這份食譜就一直跟著我,直到旅行終點,在ski hause等著回台灣的時候
和Misa與Kozue一起完成
超好吃的....以後再也不能自稱料理白痴了^O^y

Fiji
最近盯著電腦看的時間
一天至少十二個小時吧
沒辦法,出來跑遲早要還
桌面是XP提供的帆船加三棵棕櫚樹海景
跟紐西蘭一樣,斐濟也離我好遙遠了
為什麼會去斐濟勒
說來話長
忘記最初是在哪聽到的,一堆背包客在離開紐西蘭之後都要去斐濟渡個假
享受sunshine才能解凍紐西蘭的冬天
那,有機會就去斐濟吧~~
我是完全聽到別人怎麼玩就跟著怎麼玩
(其實那時我腦海中響起的是大溪地這首歌)
(可是要簽證,消費又高)
(還是找到人一起住在漏水的公寓後再去吧)
再來,在Te Puke工作的時候,有一位斐濟來的歐巴桑跟我們同住
我們都叫她Fiji Mum
FijiMum 邀我們去斐濟過聖誕
我就跟隨Mei的腳步去了
(Mei也是台灣來的,也是在Te Puke工作的時候認識)
(一直想寫在奇異果包裝廠工作那段時期的事)
(每每寫到"離開我在Nelson心愛的前樓友來到灰暗的北島"這一句之後就卡住了:P)
這中間其實是很曲折的
一開始是簽證問題,在網路上看到有人雖然NZ簽證還沒到期
可是要再入境卻不行,好像是快到期的原因
因為我簽證2月底到期,對於1月中回來這件事感到有點擔心
後來寫信去問移民局,他們又說簽證還沒到期前都可入境,就隨便啦
上網刷卡買了12/19~1/14的機票,還真是一點感覺都沒有
隔天一早打開報紙,竟然有斐濟的新聞
啥!!!!!好像是政治情況不穩定,一堆軍隊的照片
挖哩勒....想著離出發時間還有兩個月
希望到時就沒事了
Qoo~~
發音跟以前一種飲料的名字很像的單字:
"coup" 政變!!
就在即將出發的前一個禮拜
斐濟發生政變,軍隊佔領首都Suva
有沒有這麼巧啊,FijiMum就住在Suva
我們就要直搗這一切混亂的核心啊XD
FijiMum保證絕對沒問題
網路上lonely planet討論區裡一堆文章也說斐濟的政變跟老百姓沒關係,治安還變好了,因為路上有軍隊駐守
可是還是接到家裡的奪命連環call,想要阻止我
早知道就不要說溜嘴說要去斐濟了=_=
買了比基尼和夾腳拖^O^
來去享受陽光和沙灘囉

The rule of four
好看耶
可惜我是看原文的
很多東西都沒看懂囫圇吞棗的翻過去
可能要借中文的再看一次
看小說學英文
可是遇到好看的小說
又覺得沒全看懂實在太對不起它了
我的讀書心得永遠只有好看和不好看兩種
不好看的會稍微抱怨一下
好看的大部分只會寫好看兩個字

game and education
I'm sorry I was getting lazy. I haven't written down anything about the subjects we have talked for two weeks. One is “Sudoku.” I want to discuss why it's common for Western people to do something like reading or solving puzzles when they take the public transportation and we just sleep. Maybe none of us get enough sleep? Actually, It's just our culture.
The other is about “general education”. I know general education is important for universities. I regret I didn’t get much from taking those courses because I was busy at my professional courses. What's the purpose of education? To make us successful, I guess. Has the education we had made us successful? I don't think so. However, this just means we need more education to get what we need. So, what’s the point? I don't know. I can't get it. ^^;;

Mother's Day
5/17 study group
Actually, I feel uneasy about this topic. It reminds me how bad the relation between me and my parents was, and I don’t want to talk about that.
Now a day, Mother’s Day becomes more and more important and commercial. There are big sales everywhere and mass media keep reminding us we should do something to our mother on that special day. It’s not a bad thing. Families have a reason to get together. Mothers can get some luxurious things they won’t buy in daily lives.
The meaning of Mother’s Day has been talked too much, so our group changed to discuss “will you want to be a mother?” However, we all more care about the willing to be a wife. Maybe as time going by, the question of being a mother or not will become more urgent than being a wife because of the age. XD
It seems that our society pay more attention to Mother’s Day then Father’s Day. The first reason is that it’s easier to sell gifts for mothers than for fathers, so the businessman will push Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day. Second, the intimacy between mothers and children is stronger than fathers and children. Third, Father’s Day is on summer vacation. There are no teachers to ask children to make cards and teach them the meaning of Father’s Day.:P However, I think the most important reason is that we chose a special day to honor a great character and we all think mothers are greater than fathers because they devote more and sacrifice more. On the other hand, fathers already get all the resource and power in a family, so it’s not necessary to treat them special on Father’s Day.
