瓦城 泰國料理

This time, we celebrated mother's day at THAI TOWN CUISINE.

Indeed, many of my family and friends give very high commendation on they Thai food.

Even though I've been there for countless times, I still want to go once I need Thai food.

今年母親節我們在瓦城慶祝，

我的家人還有身邊很多朋友都給予它非常高的評價，

所以我實在也吃了非常非常非常多次了，

其實是每次想要吃泰式料理就會選瓦城，哈哈～

Both the service and food in THAI TOWN CUISINE are so great.

You can enjoy a very comfortable and satisfied dining environment there; therefore, you'd better make a registeration few days earlier.

It's so common to see lots of people lining out of the store.

瓦城提供了非常好的服務與食材，

在哪裡，你可以享受到非常舒適滿意的用餐環境，

所以最好提前預約，

瓦城外面經常大排長龍。

They provide different sets for 2/3/4/5/6 people to sharing several dishes, or you can just order whatever you like.

Even when you order a set, you can still choose different food from each categories.

瓦城的菜單有2/3/4/5/6人套餐，

當然也可以選擇單點摟～

就算是選套餐也可以選擇不一樣的菜色組合。

We ordered a  couple-set for three people, and ordered something else.

But we didn't finish all of those, so we packed them home.

我們三個人點了一份「雙人套餐」，另外還加點別的，

結果根本沒有吃完，於是就把剩下的打包回家了。

Then, allow me to share those delicious food.

Don't be hungry.

接著讓我來分享這些美食吧！

別餓著了。

[Rice 白飯]

You can choose between Thailand rice or Taiwan rice, both of them are unlimited.

I always ask Thailand rice,which smelled better when being chewing.

On the other hand, Taiwan rice is more chewy and soft.

白飯可以從泰國米或是台灣米兩者間選一個，

兩種都是無限供應，

我通常都選泰國米，因為它嚼起來感覺比較香，

台灣米的話就是比較黏又比較軟。

[Spicy Fried Greens with Shrimp Paste 蝦醬空心菜] NT.200

[Thai Fried Rice Noodle 泰式炒河粉] NT.250

[Thai Seafood Salad 海鮮什蔬沙律] NT. 350

【旅行．長灘島】2012 Boracay. Philippine Day.3

Every photo I took in Boracay could be a postcard with full happiness.

每一張我在長灘島拍下的照片都足以成為滿載幸福的明信片。

I was done with Alta Vista finally at the third day.

We moved to a hotel just at the side of beach, 

so that we no longer needed to take shuttle bus for half hour to beach or commercial area.

第三天，我終於和Alta Vista有個了斷，

我們搬到海邊的飯店，

所以終於不用再每次前往海邊或是商圈都搭半小時接駁車了。

This photo was taken just from the front door of the hotel we lived.

It was really close to beach, wasn't it?

這張照片就是在飯店門口拍的。

真的離海灘很近，對吧～

Lunch.

Again, speechless...

午餐。

再度無言...

Walking alone the coast was a enjoyment!!

The weather was so great, sunshine made the ocean attractive blue.

I couldn't come up any word that good enough to describe my feeling.

沿著海岸散步也是極大的享受！

天氣非常棒，陽光將海洋映照得無比蔚藍，

我無法想出夠好的言詞來形容我的感受。

Just take a look for my photos:

看看我拍的照片吧～

"Friday Beach" has been reported by several well-known media, including TV programs, tour books and magazine around the world.

It is said that it's the most beautiful beach in Asia.

I don't know that whether it is true since I haven't visited all beach in Asia.

Yet, I have no doubt that why it earns this great reputation.

「星期五沙灘」曾被諸多聞名的國際媒體報導過，

包括電視節目，旅遊書籍與雜誌。

它被喻為全亞洲最美的沙灘，

我無從得知這個恭維是否屬實，

因為我還沒到過亞洲的每一個沙灘，

但我想這樣備受肯定的聲譽絕對其來有自。

and we saw this cool guy building his SAND CAR, sooooo cool!!

然後我們看見這個人正在建造他的「沙車」，真是酷斃了！

The experience I like most in this trip is taking sailboard.

This kind of boat can surf on the wave without any electricity, depending on the wind power only.

You will sit on a net, being so close to ocean, feeling like that your feet might touch the sea water anytime.

If you want to be a marine son, feel free to jump into water anytime, as long as you can swim back to the sailboard.

這趟旅行中，我最喜歡的一個part就是搭風帆船，

這是一種無需仰賴電力就可以在海上移動的船，

它憑藉的只有風力。

你會做在一張網上，非常非常靠近大海，

你會覺得你的腳隨時都可以踏浪。

要是你想詮釋什麼大海之子的形象，

歡迎雖時跳進水裡，

只要你可以由回風帆船上即可。

Enjoying the dusk on the sailboard  is also fantastic.

Sitting or laying on the the net, feeling the gentle breeze touching my face, and the mild sunshine kissing my skin, my heart were healed suddenly.

Then, I couldn't stop smiling.

The smile came from the depth of my heart.

坐在風帆船上享受黃昏也非常美妙。

或坐或躺在船網上，感受溫柔微風輕拂我的臉龐，

還有和煦的陽光親吻我的肌膚，

心裡突然被治癒了，

然後，我笑了，

發自內心的笑了。

"Friday Beach" in the night time.

夜晚的星期五沙灘。

This is the hotel we lived-- Gold Sand.

The room was so small, didn't provided hot drinking water or even equipment...

I'm not going to describe too much,

because I don't recommend this hotel at all.

這是我們住的旅館。

房間非常狹窄，甚至沒有提供熱開水或煮水工具，

我就不多加描述了，

因為一點都不推薦。

Someone was completely pissed up by this arrangement. LOL

某人對於這樣的陳設非常火大((大笑))

I got a lava stone massage spa in the evening.

The whole process took almost 120 minutes.

Despite it made me feel quite comfortable and enjoyable, it was still too expensive.

當晚，我安排了一場熱石按摩spa，

整個過程大約歷時兩小時，

儘管我覺得蠻舒服且愉悅的，

收費還是實在太貴了！

Hello, Geckos!! Nice to see you in Boracay.

Good night.

哈摟～壁虎們，很高興在長灘島看見你們。

晚安。

【漫漫申請路】下好離手

凌晨3:15，我聽見心底的聲音「下好離手」。

今天下午我要去簽下我的offer了，也就是確定我要去倫敦了。

有時候，我常常覺得自己有些奇怪的想法或者行為，然後我就很想知道別人有沒有一樣的體驗。好比說，當我心裡有了決定，在付諸行動的前一秒又開始充滿疑問，又想用不同方法驗證我不會後悔自己的決定。明明我已經決定要讀那所學校了，卻又在要回覆的前兩天瘋狂爬那些我早已看過100遍的討論區，然後再寄信去煩校友，又拿出其他錄取通知來細細思量。

其實我很清楚這樣的行為沒有意義，因為我的決定不是一時衝動，那是我爭取過的，期待過的，更不會因為最後一刻垂死的掙扎而有所改變，也許我只是需要做更多努力來說服自己，「我的選擇是對的」。

沒錯，下好離手。

兩個月後，倫敦見。

【旅行．長灘島】2012 Boracay. Philippine Day.2

The second day in Boracay, 

I approached the charming sunshine and beautiful ocean.

在長灘島的第二天，

我總算接近了迷人的陽光與美麗的大海。

We took the "Crab Boat" idling around the coast, and participating some marine activities.

However, I am sooooooo useless...

I got seasickness so bad!!

我們成著螃蟹船在海岸周圍遊盪，

也參加了一些海上活動，

但我真的太太太太沒用了，

居然嚴重居船。

Wandering on the ocean was fun, 

cause there were some cool stuff, such as vendor on a boat selling coconut juice!!

在海上閒晃真的頗好玩，

因為有很多很酷的東西，像是划船的賣椰子汁小販。

Or you can just admire the stunning scenery there

The pure, clear blue sky and the shining sea water completely lighted up my heart.

I was so afraid of missing every single magic moment with my  blink.

或者你也可以單純欣賞著那壯觀的美景，

那澄澈純粹的藍天和閃耀的海水點亮了我的心，

我簡直生怕在我眨眼間就會錯失任何一個美妙的時刻。

Btw, this is the most expensive hotel on the island (the above photo).

There provides high-class service, 

and luxurious rooms, and most unbelievable thing-- Private Beach!! 

Servants will hand you fruits and drinks as soon as you lay on the sand.

However, if you want to live in that hotel, make sure you register by half year before the date you are going to visit.

順便介紹一下，島上最昂貴的飯店（如上圖），

那裡提供一流的服務與奢華的套房，

還有最令人難以置信的是：私人海灘！

當你一躺上沙灘，服務生就會為你遞上水果和飲料。

不過，如果你真的想入住這家飯店，

請確保提前半年以上預約。

Back to the port, I found put this, HAVAIANAS STORE.

I was so exciting planning to buy one pair.

But, the same flip flops were 50% more expensive than in Taiwan.

Therefore, do not buy flip flops here, it is too stupid.

回到港口，我發現了哈瓦仕專賣店，

本來很興奮打算要買一雙的，

不過，相同的夾腳拖居然比在台灣貴50%以上，

所以說，絕對不要再這裡買夾腳拖，那真是太愚蠢了。

We had "Crab and BBQ" meal for lunch.

Even though this was a paradise, 

I have to say, the food in Boracay is definitely a nightmare.

There was nothing (!!Notice!! NOTHING) are qualified to be called "delicious".

It was hard enough for me to keep food in my mouth and stomach.

午餐是「螃蟹與烤肉大餐」。

就算這是一個天堂，

我還是必須坦白說，長灘島的食物絕對是惡夢！

這裡沒有任何東西可以稱得上是「好吃」，

光是要把食物留在我的嘴巴和胃裡就已經很困難了。

There were people everywhere on the beach.

People all got illusion by the attractive sunset. 

海灘上到處都是人，

人們都因為迷人的日落而感到迷茫。

The sundown in Boracay at January 24th 2012 is the most breathtakingly beautiful, fabulous, and unforgettable sunset I have ever seen.

The moment carved in my heart and my mind clearly and deeply.

I couldn't believe that this amazing beauty existed, just in front of my eyes.

How much I wish time could froze in that second, then I was able to embrace the miracle endlessly.

2012年1月24日，長灘島的日落，

是我見過的日落中最美得驚人，絕妙又難忘的日落。

那一刻深刻而清晰地刻劃在我的腦海和心版上。

我簡直無法相信如此美妙的美景就存在我的眼前，

我多麼希望時間可以凝結在那一秒，

這樣我就可以無止盡地擁抱那個奇蹟。

Boracay seemed like having a plenty of romance in the evening.

You can sit on the beach and enjoy dinner, 

stepping on the mild sand and listening to the profound wave.

It is almost impossible to image how great the feeling is unless you have been there.

長灘島的向晚時分看來也有無盡浪漫，

你可以坐在海灘上，

踩踏溫和的細沙，聆聽深沈的海浪聲，

一邊享用著晚餐。

除非你曾到過那裡，否則幾乎無法想像那感覺有多棒。

My dinner provided in this hotel, as usual, I have nothing can say.

我的晚餐是在這家飯店，

還是一樣沒什麼好多的。

You can always find Mango Shake everywhere on this island.

Some was good, some was... you know...

But there is no harm to have a cup when you are thirsty.

在這個島上，你總能找到芒果冰沙，

有些蠻好喝的，有些則...你知道的

不過當你渴的時候，倒是可以來一杯。

Good night!! Lovely Island.

晚安！可愛的小島。
