【利物浦】Around China Town 中國城－il Giardino Romantico

時間過的真快。才轉身去寫兩篇essay，馬上就邁入我來利物浦的第三個月了。這是上禮拜沒靈感時跑去到處亂晃拍下來的景色。最主要是去拍教堂。不過教堂可能會花上比較多時間。所以先寫拍完教堂後，去中國城閒晃的景色囉！

These pictures were taken last week, when I took a stroll downtown to China Town in search of food and inspiration. The goal of the stroll was to take some pictures of a church, but seeing that it would probably take a little longer for me to put that together, I might as well share with you the scenes around China Town, first.

走過這獅子就是中國城囉！
This marks the beginning of China Town.

對面的Top Chef就是賣難吃的falafel那家餐廳喔！
The restaurant across the street is where we got the falafel sandwiches.

這裡，每條街都會附上中文名稱。
The streets have Chinese translations, or Chinese names, rather....

有一個是假的。猜猜哪個是假人....
Guess which bloke is fake!

不知道有什麼特別意義。不過剛來的時候導遊有特別提起。[我老了，忘了...]
I've forgotten the significance of this. I only remember the tour guide mentioning this briefly on the tour.

連燈柱都很『中國』...
Chinese touch to the lamp post...

這是歐洲最早的一個中國城喔！
This is one of the oldest China Towns in Europe!

『形』髮廊？恩....
"Freemason"??? CHINESE FREEMASON????

這，還蠻有意思的。屋子裡的裝飾全部都是用罐子裝置而成的。順便碎碎念一下：英國人的環保觀好差...
You can't really see the inner construction, but everything inside is build from these cans collect by someone. I think it's pretty cool.

華人學生的救星！亞洲學生的救星！！
Salvation to all ethnically Chinese expats, and all Asians presumably.

這麼『中國』的東西搭上這麼『基督教』的字樣，我是覺得還蠻有趣的。
Interesting observation of how Chinese culture has merged with western culture, namely Christianity.

這已經不是中國城了。不過想拍這個很久了。這天經過終於有機會入鏡囉。
Apparently, this used to be where friend meet up...

For all the Beatles fans!!!
