扶若芸的小天地

這篇日記，要同時獻給貴蕙，在我之後接棒的Colorful Taiwan Hostel 小幫手。

I would like to present this diary to 貴蕙，the girl who's being cleaning helper after me in Colorful Taiwan Hostel.

很高興昨天Michael Ku還有Marian Volk玩了半天...他們早上騎機車去陽明山，一身濕答答到永康街鼎泰豐。這是Michael跟我一生中第一次吃鼎泰豐，我們都非常興奮。Michael先去永和還機車，Marian很想喝台灣茶，我們便去了旁邊的東門Tea House，Marian喝了黑烏龍茶，店裡還送一塊鳳梨酥。

Glad to had half of the day having fun around Taipei with Michael and Marian the two new friends.These two boys rode a scooter crazy to Yangmin Mountain beacause it rained a lot yesterday.They got wet,especially their foot.

When Michael returned the scooter to his classmate in Yonghe Dist,Marian and I went to a Tea House.Marian had a Drak Oolong Tea and I had a Black Tea.We got 2pieces pineapple pastry for free there.

We three together went to Din Tai Fung the famous Taiwan restaurant.So many people lined up that we waited about 1 hr.Michael and I were very very excited about this!This was the first time we were in Din Tai Fung!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

進了鼎泰豐，我們點了小籠包、紅油抄手、蝦仁炒飯、酸辣湯、菜肉大包一起Share。我跟Michael狂拍照，Marian說我們比他還像觀光客。這是我們第一次吃鼎泰豐啊！！下次吃說不定要等其他國際友人來 T_T

We ordered the famous cuisines: XiaoLongBao、Spicy Shrimp and Pork Wonton、Shrimp Fried Rice with Egg、Hot-and-Sour Soup、Vegetable and Ground Pork Buns.We shared these together.And Michael and I couldn't stop photoing the food ,that made Marian said we two were more like "Tourists" than him!Ha ha!

Because I think my next time to Din Tai Fung would have to wait until another global friend comes!!!T_T

本來吃完鼎泰豐，要去中正紀念堂，但時間不太夠，我們就直接去平溪。現在用悠遊卡可以搭火車的平溪線，超方便！我們到的時間有點晚，一整天下雨、又是禮拜一，80%的店都關了。但我們還是在十分站施放天燈。Marian真的非常喜歡不同國家的文化：放天燈、喝茶、認中文字...他把很多中文字都覺得像「笑臉」，像是「夾、來、間」...等等。Marian對中文造字的原則也非常有興趣。我們給他看了台灣的一點流行音樂，Michael跟我給他看了安心亞的「呼呼」、謝金燕的「姐姐」、周杰倫的「千里之外」，Marian看得非常專心，讓我很訝異。

We didn't have enough time to Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall,so we just went to Pinghsi by local train.Now it's very convenient that you can use a easy card to take the tarin.

It rained all day yesterday.And it was a little late and dark when we arrived Pinghsi,so 80% stores on the old street were closed.We still fly the lantern near Shihfen station.

Marian did really like enjoy exploring different local cultures in different countries.He was also interested in recognizing Traditional Chinese words and knowing the rules how they were created.He took many Traditional Chinese words as "Smily faces",such as"夾、來、間"...etc.

Michael and I showed Marian some Taiwan pop music videos on Youtube,ex:Amber Ann "Hu Hu"、Jeannie Hsieh "Sister"、Jay Chou "Faraway".Marian concentarted on watching these music videos.This very surprised me.

從平溪回到台北已經晚上10點，我帶Michael和Marian去吃西門町的富宏牛肉麵。大家吃得很開心。我們在台北街頭道別，Marian竟然記不得我的名字。哈。今天Marian結束在台灣的行程，搭機前往菲律賓。願他在這未來四個月旅程愉快，也願Michael完成心願。

It had been 10 PM When we from Pinghsi back to Taipei Main Station.We were so hungry even we just had Taiwanese Fried Chicken .We went to Ximen by MRT and had Braised BeefNoodle Soup for dinner.We separated in the street near Marian's Hostel,and Marian couldn't even remembered my name after half of the day lol

Today Marian ended his first trip stop in Taiwan and got his flight to Philippines on X'mas Eve.Hope Marian will enjoy his 4 months trip in Asia,and may Michael's all wishes come true.

Nice to meet you both. Merry X'mas and Happy New Year :)
