台湾。。两种不一样的体验

期盼了好久,终于等到这一天。不知道是什么时候。。心里一直很想到台湾走一走。。可是一直没机会。4月4日。。愿望实现!

来到台湾碰到的第一个问题就是语言。习惯了把英语和华语混着说的我,一时之间要我说一口流利的华语真的有点别扭。到达桃园机场的第一个挑战就是问路。我竟然把一句简单的"请问,从这里怎么到桃园高铁站?"我都问得好辛苦。自己都忍不住笑了。。
从桃园机场到桃园高铁站只是20分钟的车程。我们第一个目的地就是台中。到达台中已经是傍晚,我们把行李卸下,马上就到台中的逢甲夜市。台湾的夜市文化真是让我大开眼界。
不知道是不是因为是星期六,夜市的人潮特别汹涌。还不到7点,天色已暗,街上的招牌更显得绚烂夺目。来夜市,主要的目的就是吃。那里的小吃真是特别多。我们沿路走着走着,边走,边买,边吃,不知不觉就把肚子给填饱了。串烧,鸡排,炸金珍菇,烤鱿鱼,猪宝,肉丸,面线。。一次过吃个够。

最左边的是猪宝。。其实是炸猪排里面加了火腿和起司。外面再加特制浆料。吃起来真是又香又脆。。超好吃。老板还上过电视呢!来台湾怎么可以不吃面线和肉丸。肉丸外皮软软的,入口即化。

吃得好饱,我们沿街逛了一会。经过了一家宠物店,我看到了一只超可爱的小狗!我好想抱它回家!

My Taiwan Trip

Havent got time to really blog about my taiwan trip. But I managed to upload some photos on my flickr.

Thinking about work

Wow, its been more than a month since my last post. Been thinking about work alot lately..not feeling very good about it. I know now is the time when everyone is saying .."oh you should be thankful you still have a job" ..moreover, I just got promoted lately, I should not be feeling like this. But work has been very frustrating lately...I shant elaborate here. Not sure how long I can tolerate all the shit but I dont know where I can go during this time. argghh...
I thought everything will be fine after my break from work. Well I did enjoy myself in taiwan..i had a great time in fact. But good times never last and is always so short...now I am back again and work is still as suffocating. I been working here for 3 years, this is the first time I felt so bad. Oh well...

Watched two very good movies recently...Knowing and Taken. Knowing totally freaked me out man. I thought the visual effects were great. The plane crash and the train crash scene blew me away. The ending was unlike any other disaster movies where human always survive and triumph..this time everyone get toasted! Haha. Taken was a non-stop thrill ride from the beginning to the end. It was great watching 50 over years old Liam Neeson kicking ass and man he is one awesome fighting machine. He is totally believeable and has the "Dont F**king mess with me" look throughout. Throughout the movie, he went around hunting down those guys who kidnapped his daughter, killing each and everyone of them without any hesitation just to get his daughter back. A little unbelieveable but still a thrilling ride throughout. Love it!
