il Giardino Romantico

咦？這裡是荷蘭嗎？主人帶我出國來到荷蘭了？
Have I been brought to Holland? Where am I?
原來那就是這裡的特色呀！這裡就是樹屋喔！
I see. This is Anping Treehouse! And that's the featuring design of the place! 
在這裡走路要小心頭喔！
Mind your head when you walk through here! 
啊～～～台南的陽光好舒服唷！我不要走我不要走我不要走～～～
Ah! The sunshine of Tainan is so warm! I don't want to leave! 

這是我第二次來到安平。第一次就很喜歡這個地方。過年期間與家人來這裡閒晃，順便把倫敦熊帶出來曬曬太陽。不然悶在台北他都已經快發霉了呢！
This is my second time in Anping. I really liked the place during my first visit. This time, I had the opportunity to revisit the place with my family. I also took the chance to take London Paddy out for some sunshine. I think he's about to get all moldy! 
好美的風景喔！What a beautiful sight! 
倫敦熊很享受這裡的陽光、溫暖與美景喔！London Paddy really enjoyed the sun, the warmth and the beautiful view! 
太陽公公，你好呀！Hello, sunshine! 
出發探險去～ Let's go exploring!
我可以待在這裡一整天呢！I can stay here all day! 
可以去這裡嗎？Can we go there?
台南真好玩呢！Tainan is so fun! 
未完待續...
To be continued...

出發囉！Let's go! 
2012年據說是世界末日。所以天仙要帶著倫敦熊玩遍台灣。雖然礙於工作，假期不多，但盡可能，有出去玩就會帶著她一起去囉！倫敦熊應該會很開心吧！
2012 is rumoured to be the end of the world. That's why I'm taking London Paddington on a tour around Taiwan! Although I can't take too many days off due to work, still, I promise to take him whenever I set off! I reckon London Paddy will be thrilled to hear this! 
開心到想要來一罐～ So thrilled he'd make a toast to me with a can of lager. 
這只是預告喔～ This is just a teaser, really! 
 
更精采的旅程，才剛要展開呢！ More exciting travels awaiting to begin!

When there are different dietary requirements amongst a group of friends, you really can't go wrong with veg. This has now topped my favourite veg restaurant!
當朋友之間有不同的飲食需求時，其實素食餐廳就是最安全的選擇。而且現在這間也成了我覺得最好吃的素食餐廳！

我想每個用智慧型手機的人兒都有一個共同的困擾：電池怎麼一下就用光了！？有時貪玩遊戲，等到需要用的時候還真的就沒電。無論是什麼原因，其實這個問題大家都有。如果懶得換電池（因為要拔殼很麻煩之類）其實最懶惰的方式就是直接插上行動電源囉！
不過行動電源這麼多種，到底該怎麼挑呢。其實大家應該看的出來，天仙對3C只是有點挑，但沒太挑。但因為剛好欠友人一個禮物，要同時買兩份，所以得比平時謹慎些。當初的考慮是：自己先拆一個來用用看，不好用就退。好用就繼續用＋送人。在網路商店搜尋到這款。了解天仙的人，如果懂這個型號的意思，一定就會知道天仙為什麼會挑這款了！因為 - Pisces = 雙魚座！對自己要有信心啊（咦？）於是就敗了！
購買他的原因除了覺得它外形我還蠻喜歡的之外，還有他的多種插孔，適用於各種手機。如果以後換了手機，這個也還是可以繼續使用。
外殼簡單的說明
於辦公桌上拍攝，燈光不太足... 
產品背後
保固卡與使用手冊
各式接頭
重要的電源線 
 
插上接頭就可以使用了（記得開電源）
行動電源充電方式也很簡單。可以使用USB轉AC插頭充，也可以直接用USB充電。電源線轉個方向，USB插上行動電源，再把轉接頭插上，連上手機就可以充電了。經使用後，每次手機充飽電的時間約兩小時。而行動電源本身需充6-10小時。不過充飽了可以充手機2-3次喔！

這是我跟上天借來的短暫幸福。我一直期待著的，我得到了。但是我知道他不屬於我。在我仔細品嘗他給我的溫暖以及快樂，我很希望這是永久的滋味。但是我知道曾經有總比完全沒有過的好。
雖然遲到了，但是我終究是有過。剩下的只是記憶。但回憶直到我失憶的那天，他會一直存在著。
謝謝你帶給帶著淡淡果香的溫暖。
謝謝你讓我開心、讓我快樂、讓我再次得學會如何跨出我不敢踏出的那一步。
雖然只是借來的、短暫的... 
 
但，卻是最美味的。

這是我第二次造訪位於師大夜市的這間火鍋世家。第一次其實是為了帶友人來逛師大夜市，因此在附近隨機找一間吃的。也就是說，會找到這間其實是意外。這一次與另外一個友人則是特地約在這。因為第一次沒有拍到照片，所以就趁再次造訪的機會好好地拍一下，寫個食記分享一下。當然，也是要人家夠好吃，我才會有這個動力來第二次囉！
This is my second visit to this hot pot place. The first visit was totally by chance. I intended to take my friend to Shi-da Night Market, so we got there first, and found a random restaurant. Seeing my visitor had probably never had Taiwanese style hot pot before, I thought it was a good choice. But because I did not have my camera with me that first time, and it was worth a second visit, I took this opportunity to take my other friend here for dinner.

蛤蠣雞腿餐 Clams and chicken meal
貼心的去腥米酒 Rice wine to rid the sea-ness of clams.
這是我點的，可以自由搭配三種海鮮。我選擇的是活跳蝦、魚片跟蛤蠣。媽呀！沒有人告訴我活跳蝦送上來真的是活的！看他們被竹籤插著還在蠕動，實在是很不忍心就這樣把它們給燙死，然後再入口。連隔壁桌看到都嚇一跳：你看那蝦子還活的耶！
This was my meal. I had a choice of three different seafoods. I picked shrimp, fish, and clams. I had no idea that the shrimps were so fresh that they would still be alive. It was heartaching to see them still squiggling with the skewer pierced right into them. I barely had the heart to chuck them into the boiling hot pot! 
不過從小大人就教我們不能浪費食物。我就安慰自己說：與其讓他們一直折騰著，不如早點讓他們上天堂吧！所以為這些小生命禱告了一下之後，我閉上了眼睛便把那一串丟進了滾燙的水裡了！
But alas! Food should not be wasted. I say to myself: it would probably be even more of a torture to keep them alive feeling the pain of the skewer driven right through them. After saying a prayer, I closed my eyes and chucked them into the pot! This meal is not for the feint hearted! 
雖然這樣說有點殘忍，不過人生不就這樣嗎？這些蝦子是我很久以來吃過最甜美的蝦子！感謝這些蝦子讓我這餐吃得這麼滿足啊！！
I know it's cruel, but life's cruel. It was one of the sweetest tasting shrimps I had tasted in a very long time! Thank the shrimps!
飯後，還有冰淇淋可以吃喔！
After a delightful meal, you can also choose your favourite flavour of ice cream! 
雖然我不愛冰淇淋，但連我都忍不住拿了一點～
Even though I'm not a fan of ice cream, I felt like having some that night!

咦？怎麼又有麥茶！？不要再懷疑天仙是不是餐餐都要有麥茶（因為真的是）雖然是連續貼，可是這篇跟上篇可是隔了一周的唷！別讓發文日期給騙了！
What? Lager again!? Please don't accuse me of being a lager-holic any more (because it's true...) Although this article and the previous one were posted consecutively, in reality, there was a one week gap between them! Don't be fooled by the posting dates!
這餐是一群同事跑到中部去參加另一個同事的婚禮結束回到台北後的一餐。其實啊，這餐吃得很悶。原因不是因為我們合不來啦！是因為大家都累了！囧！我們同事感情可是超好的。但是也因為大家都累了，所以更是需要麥茶囉！
This was the dinner after a day trip down south to Central Taiwan for another colleague's wedding banquet. It was a very tiring meal, not because we grew sick and tired of each other, but because the trip was exhausting. But because we were tired, lager was even more appreciated!
鴨肉 Duck
吃完第一口，有同事說：還是覺得ＸＸ鵝肉比較好吃... 其實我也愣住。我累了！囧！！
After a bite, my colleague said: I still think XXX's goose is better... I didn't react. I was tired, too... 
炒龍珠 Fried Dragon Balls - mouth of squid...
非常好喝的雞湯，好喝到我們要再叫一鍋！
Delicious chicken soup! So good we had to order a second pot! 
九層塔蛋 Basil fried egg
 生魚片 Sashimi
三杯杏鮑菇 Three cups mushroom
整個忘了是啥.......我同事說好像是鯊魚 Can't remember what this was.... My colleague tells me it was probably shark... 
炒牛肉吧這個？ Fried beef, I think?
三杯皮蛋 Three cups thousand-year-egg (fermented egg)
 
來到餐廳前大家都說不餓不餓（好啦其實只有我喊不餓）結果還是吃了一堆。唉！羅馬真的不是一天造成的！
Before arriving at the restaurant, no one (well, okay, only me) was 'hungry'. But I still ate a lot! I guess Rome really wasn't built in a day!

這篇食記，我朋友應該等到根本就已經忘記有這回事了吧？拖稿真是拖很大。因為這餐可是聖誕節那天的晚餐呢！不過放了那麼久還是要貼，就知道一定有值得貼的地方啦！千里迢迢來到我只聽過沒來過的土城，能夠貼上我朋友大力推薦的一間日本料理，盡情的吃美味的生魚片，怎麼可以就讓他流產呢！
This article had been put on hold for such a long time, my friend might have already forgotten that this meal had ever happened! We had this meal on Christmas. And afer such a long time, I still insist on posting it, shouldn't that already tell you that there's something about it worth posting? And after all, I did travel a rather long way (from one end of the blue line on the MRT to the other end)... It would be a pity to leave it in oblivion, wouldn't it?
這是招待的～ Complimentary dish.

好啦！吃完午餐以後呢，就是要來運動了。因為我們沒租機車，所以就是靠11路了！其實看地圖就知道這裡很多步道可以走。不過因為我們要趕著最後一班渡輪回東港，所以也不能夠走太遠。算好時間選了條應該可以走的完的步道就走了！但我們不知道，這趟走完其實辛苦的還在後面等著... 
After lunch, it was time to exercise. Because we did not rent a scooter, so our only way around the island was to walk. The map would tell you that there are lots of trails to choose from. But seeing we wanted to catch the last ferry back, we couldn't pick one that was too far away. What we didn't anticipate, was an even more tiresome challange awaiting us at the end of the journey...
 02
這條步道叫美人洞。其實你說沒什麼，也是真的沒什麼。但其實我們可是挺享受的！
This trail is called the Cave of the Beauty. There's not much to it really, but we enjoyed the trail quite a lot!

當我們完成這個步道也往回走返到搭渡輪的地方的時候，其實還剩一點時間閒晃。買了回程票（因為來回的票被我弄丟了）就開始在碼頭附近的商店晃晃。這裡有好多阿桑，都好恐怖！除了剛到的時候會用很"熱情"的上前推銷，此時也遇到同一批。看見早上我沒買他的下午卻買了別人的還來跟我發脾氣（驚）。我根本不記得早上接觸的是哪一個阿桑啊！不過啤酒下肚之後，我就也不跟他計較（畢竟賺錢還是很辛苦的！）沒想到這一嘴饞就是我們大錯特錯的地方了！因為等我們要去排隊的時候.... 
Once we have returned to the harbour to take the ferry back, there was still time to hang around the shops. There were many aggressive middle aged women trying to force their products to us. One even got angry with me for looking at her's but buying from another... How could I have remembered from whom to buy!? Anyway, after a beer, I was ready to forgive anyone! However, it was a mistake to indulge ourselves in the snack and beer (for me), because when we were ready to line up... 
 44
已經這麼多人惹！！
There were already so many people! 
結果...船到了，果然是上不了！囧！！還好後來因為人很多，就多加開了一班。最後還是有順利回到東港！
But once the ferry arrived, it got filled up very quickly, and we couldn't get on! Fortunately, because there were lots of others waiting to get back, so there was an additional ferry that came to pick us up.

雖然有順利搭上船，不過不料當我們抵達東港的時候，才剛出來就眼睜睜的看著到最後一班接駁車就這樣從我們面前開過去...囧！所以即使我有考慮到東港先找一間有賣生魚片的餐廳解決晚餐，因為怕連市區都回不了，也就此打消了這個念頭。我們正在考慮直接花錢消災給小黃大賺一筆的時候，先去了一間店裡面想要換零錢。老闆娘與店員見我們這樣的狀況也關心起來。知道我們錯過接駁車後，問我們打算怎麼回去。得知我們打算做計程車，就建議我們先等等。他會打電話幫我們問還有沒有車可以回高雄的。後來真的幫我們找到carpool回高雄的車，一人也只要一百塊！整趟旅程最殘念的事情啊，就是梅在他們店裡買點東西。因為我個性急，得知有車就不敢亂晃，呆呆的站在他們交代我們的地方等車。其實那段等待的時間是足夠我們在他們店裡消費的呀！！
所以各為如果有去東港，記得再渡輪站斜對面有個全家，他旁邊的伴手禮店逛逛吧！！おねがい～～
Although we successfully boarded the ferry, the minute we got off, we saw the shuttle bus drive away right in front of our eyes. Even if it occurred to me to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for shashimi in Dongang, it was now definitely out of the question. I mean, wouldn't you be worried? We weren't even sure if we could get back to Kaohsiung! Well, we decided money could resolve our issue. We went to a shop to get some change for the taxi ride (for some reason I don't really trust taxi drivers with my thousand dollar bills). The shop owner realised that we were trying to get back to Kaohsiung, kindly offered to attempt to find an alternative transport for us. She found a carpool transport that would take us back to the city, at an extremely reasonable price of NT$100. The only regret we had of this trip was not having shopped at the kind lady's shop. We could've, but being the paranoid me, I didn't want to miss our only way back to the city, so I just stood still and patiently waited for the vehicle to arrive....
So my dear friends, if you ever go to Dongang, remember to visit the shop located adjacent to the Family Mart!!
