Grace的進修雜記:)

In the beginning of NOV 2007, I flew in US, and Nov’9th I flew back TW!
Because Oregon is a tax free state, I like to go shopping in Hood River Oregon,
I buy some products of Burt’s bees & badger…

因為這段來us的時間，每個星期日到星期二，HOST媽要上班，而星期一到星期六ＨOST爸都要上班，所以星期一、二我有點無聊的度過一個早上，於是我決定11/6星期二中午跟HOST爸吃過午餐後要來個飯後散步，呵呵！我ㄚ從DOWNTOWN走回到家，其實應該不需50MIN，但是我邊走邊逛街購物，所以花了50分才回到溫暖的家，當然回到家要先檢視一下戰利品，然後就把中午吃剩的薯條加熱當下午點心吃了，ㄞ照這樣下去想不胖都難！不過沒關係，若是鏡頭上的自己有看起來似乎胖了點，我可以跟朋友說是天冷多穿衣的關係，不是真的變胖啦！這次來我用單手幫自己拍照，呈現出的效果還不差，讓我的美國朋友很驚訝的問我，為何我可以不用看小小lcd螢幕就按下拍照的扭，我的回答是：多練習吧！

This time I eat a lot of good food ,dinner time go to Chinese restaurant order rice & soup, I also has fast food as lunch, and my breakfast is so yummy!
I know that when I go back to work, I will lose weight, so I don’t worry about eat too much in US!
美國行之食的部份

This is my 5th time to visit my host family. I stay 9days in Hood River,
And I had good time there, after Wed took pictures by my friend’s host mom,
I choose my pictures Thu morning, I feel so good to have this kind of different memory.

經過漫長的飛行，加不停轉機，我回來囉！
只是因為回程舊金山機場停止起降，所以我被轉到西雅圖(--本螺旋槳飛機班機只有12個乘客)，再轉飛東京，然後又在東京轉機回高雄，
還比原訂時間少3小時到高雄！

我覺得加入航空公司的累積里程是不錯的唷!

為了讓我早點調回時差，吃過午餐後Ray決定開車載我去晃晃，想想從去年喝過同事喜酒後就沒再去旗津了，所以說走就走我們去旗津散步吧！
以往我們到旗津只是從鼓山搭渡輪過去，後來有了真愛碼頭我們試過搭真愛輪到紅燈碼頭再轉公車到熱鬧的小吃街，這次是我們自行開車前往，剛好用過餐的人已離開，我們沒有遇到大塞車。
一到風車公園停好車，已經看到很多人在草坪上放風箏，並有些人騎單車在附近閒逛，讓我覺得高雄的午後也是有悠閒的時光，本來有點愛睏的我邊拍照邊和Ray聊天，原先他想買個風箏讓我享受放風箏的感覺，但是我想我應該只會不停的去撿起地上的風箏吧！所以就沒有浪費錢啦！

In my schedule of 2007 NOV’9th , I need to fly to SFO→TPE→KHH，but I can’t fly to SFO, so United airline help me to change my fly plan , then it’s my 1st time to be in SETTLE, it’s a busy airport, and the store near gate, so I have time to buy some products for my mother, also there is some restaurants in this area, I am so happy to be in Settle.
我在2007年11月九日應該要一早從玻特蘭飛舊金山在經台北轉高雄，但舊金山無法起降，所以我就在聯合航空的安排下先搭小飛機到西雅圖在經東京轉回高雄。這是我第一次到西雅圖轉機，在gat12e與gate9間有餐廳、化妝品店，旅行用品…，一到西雅圖打電話給在cheney的妹妹，她還開玩笑說叫我從西雅圖轉去找她好了﹝因為一樣都在華盛頓州只是距離頗遠﹞，又打電話給在hood river的ㄚ嬤報告一下就要準備搭國際線的飛機了，看看口袋還有剩下一些美金，所以我決定衝進duty free的彩妝店幫媽媽買些雅斯蘭黛，雖然台灣正在週年慶，不過在美國買這個品牌還是很划算！
其實我一從小飛機下來後就應該不要亂跑──很快就要登機了，不過我第一次到這個機場，所以還是到他們的化妝室參觀一下才乖乖的去排隊等登機！還算不錯的轉機地點啦！

This is my 5th time to be here!It's a good place, since I was a senior high school student, I knew my host family, and they are so friendly and nice to me, so I keep in touch with them,
this time I took my days off to visit them!
It's fall , so I feel a little cold when I go outside~!But so far so good!

It's my 5th time to visit my host family!
This time is color changing season!
I like to be here , it's different color so beautiful!So happy to get days off then fly to US again!

Here is fall , it's cool in the morning and night , but I don't need to worry about that , I am so happy that outside --- sun shine!
It's good view in Hood River!
I am so happy to go shopping here again!

When I prepared to go to US, my sister started to write a list for me to bring some stuff to her, finally I decided to bring more stuff to her, if I can’t put too much clothes into my suitcase, I can hand carry my clothes, that’s not a big deal!
此回到US是經過不到一個月的時間決定並著手準備，於是在美攻讀研究所的妹妹開始LIST-----她需要的台灣用品※及食物☆，當我發現我要去的地方只有攝氏八度左右，我開始取捨到底是要幫她多帶些東西，還是我要幫自己多帶些禦寒的衣服，最後決定要多幫她帶點東西，若我的衣服真的放不下就當隨身行李攜帶囉！最後她的東西分別放置在我被限重每個22kg的行李箱中，整理行李時我想我的行李箱裡仍要用些衣服保護她的保養品，免的到時行李被拖運時打破了就枉費我幫她帶那麼東西來US了。

After transfer-Kaohsiung-TaiYun-SFO-PDX---I am home again!
A little jet leg during SFO to PDX!
But I am fine!

My memory in Hood River SEP'2001
As the plane landed at PORLAND air port , I started to worry about── we have 7 years not to meet each other , did they remember to take me home ？ Would I be forgotten in air port ？In fact, I don’t need to think too much, because they remember to bring me home.
I wasn’t suffering from jet leg, so when I wake up, my host family and I went out for breakfast, I thought that my vocabulary wasn’t enough, but I can read the menu or they would help me. As I got my breakfast, I didn’t know that the cream beside bread is just cream. (I thought that was Ice Cream, so I ate it vary quickly.), at that time, they just looked at me, after I understood that cream was for the bread, they just laugh, so funny.
