在美國, 每天總以咖啡或奶茶代水喝
因為, 總覺得喝水籠頭下的水感覺怪怪的...
變得喜歡, 習慣, 以咖啡當水喝
反正很累很累時, 一樣睡得著
在美國還養成另一個習慣--不睡午覺
每天7,8點起床, 晚上12:00左右才上床睡覺
美國的咖啡, 種類好多好多
應該說, 調味的選擇很多, 不像台灣很單純:
reguler, espresso, latte, mocha, macchiato, hot chocolate
在美國, 不只cafe的選擇較多, 連賣場賣的三合一咖啡總類也多
我猜應該是以latte來調味吧
較popular的favor有vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, blackbarry, bluebarry, coconut....等等
mocha還有white mocha
(我不喜歡原味咖啡, 所以很愛調味的...呵)
在美國的工作之一, 就是做咖啡
一開始, 每天都會嘗試各種favor
到後來, 開始嘗試客人點的怪咖組合
例如: regular coffee+chocolate+hazelnut
或espresso加上幾乎同量的hazelnut
....這些怪組合的味道實在噁心...
anyway, 重點是, 讓我想學做咖啡
so, 這幾天查了Starbucks... 無意間又回到之前看過的主題:「公平貿易」
... 轉身查看在美國買的三合一咖啡粉
上面全都沒有「公平貿易」的圖案
公平交易的對象並非只有咖啡
還包括其他第三國生產的作物, 例如茶, 巧克力等等
那麼, 喜歡喝咖啡, 到底對不對
台灣, 感覺並沒有推動「公平貿易」的味道?
台灣忙的是其他事吧...

oneself
people, have to learn to make decision by oneself
by one's benefit, by one's convinience, by one's economic status...
not for others...
lately, i finally convince myselft that
"bread" is much important than any other things
many times, being selfish is a way to protect oneself
from getting depression and regret...
maybe, i should not come to America
i should work hard for my own future in Taiwan
however, everything seems to be too late
i have wasted much time...
but it's still a impressive vacation for me
any way, i finally understand that...
i won't belong to others...
from now on, i am trying to take my heart back from someone
in the future, i am only belong to my family and myself
which is my only support and home of my heart
this is what this 2-1/2 month trip teach me
love or affection is such a foolish feeling
by one's benefit, by one's convinience, by one's economic status...
not for others...

USA Flight
yesterday, i had spent many hours on booking my USA domestic flight > <
i continued searching the flight on the internet lately
and when the date gets close to my departure date
the available flights become fewer and much expensive > <
i am not aware of this situation until yesterday!!!
i always hesitate... such a bad habit...
anyway, i successfully booked my round-trip flight last night
although it's expensive than i think...
besides, i have learned one thing..
if i book USA domestic flight 14 days earlier than the departure date
i can directly connect to the airline official website to book the plane
or i have to book the ticket through the 3rd wetsite
such as "cheapticket.com" or "orbiz.com"
they will charge a fee
besides, they couldn't accept my address in Taiwan when i tried to book the flight yesterday...
but Delta.com can accept it!!
the flight will charge a "trip protection" fee
the price is 13.5 on Delta.com
but 14.99 on cheaptickets.com
i don't know the reason now~~
maybe it earns the difference from it

Art Deco
Frome: Frey's Blog
Art Deco 的特色就是大量運用了鯊魚紋、斑馬紋、曲折鋸齒圖形、階梯圖形、粗體與彎曲的曲線、放射狀圖樣等等來裝飾，是現代藝術、設計上的一種運動與風格。
Art Deco 雖然是現代裝飾藝術上的一種運動，但同時也影響了建築等許多其他方面。這個運動的名詞是起自1925年在巴黎舉辦的第一屆”藝術裝飾與現代工業博覽會” (the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes)，但是 Art Deco 並不是由這個展覽起源的，它其實是1920年代早期就在歐洲流行的一種風格，受到了非洲、埃及、墨西哥印地第人原始藝術、維也納工業組織運動早期作品、里昂巴克斯特(Leon Bakst)替俄國芭蕾舞團團長狄亞基列夫(Sergei Diaghilev)的芭蕾舞劇所做的舞台背景與服裝設計、立體派 (Cubism)、未來派 (Futurism)、新古典主義 (Neoclassicism)、爵士風格藝術等等許多藝術風格的影響。
Art Deco要等到1928年至1930年代才在英、美風行，到了1960年代又再一次的流行起來。Art Deco 也普遍被認為是現代主義(Modernism)早期的一種形式。

Grand Pristmatic Spring
Yesterday i went out with Pat & Bill
first we went ot West Yellowstone to buy something
there we stepped on our trip!!
we drove along the road from Madison to Old Faithful
they drove Firehole Canyon Drive for showing me the beautiful firehole river
and there was a swimming area along the river
where were so many people there!!!
and them we drove the Firehole Lake Drive
there are many hot spring along the road
and in the end of the road was the Firehold Lake
it's a hot spring i guess, it keeped steaming!!!
and the wind was so big, all the steam came to us, made us feel so warm!!!
the lake was so beautiful and big!!!
and the next destination is the place which i want to see most in Yellowstone
Grand Pristmatic Spring
it located at Midway Geyser Basin
there are 3 geysers here, but this one is one i like most
why i like it most??
because i just saw the picture in Taiwan there years ago
there was a photographer traveling the world and took pictures from the high attitude
he ones had an exhibition along the love river in Kaohsiung
and there was the time i met this spring
it was just like a rainbow, the color is so charming... attractive to me
it made a deep impression to me
and yesterday.... i finally saw it live....

It's the largest hot spring in United States, and the 3rd largest in the world
[color]
The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The bacteria produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green.[5] The center of the pool is sterile due to extreme heat.
The deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from a light-absorbing overtone of the hydroxy stretch of water [6]. Though this effect is responsible for making all large bodies of water blue, it is particularly intense in Grand Prismatic Spring because of the high purity and depth of the water in the middle of the spring.
[physical structure]
The spring is approximately 250 by 300 feet (75 by 91 m) in size and is 160 feet (49 meters) deep. The spring discharges an estimated 560 gallons (2000 litres) of 160°F (71°C) water per minute.[7]

from: Life at high temperatures
What Makes the Colors?
The colors of the Yellowstone thermal features are justly famous. They were first mentioned by Osborne Russell, a trapper who spent the years 1834-1843 in the Yellowstone region. Viewing what is now called Grand Prismatic Spring, Russell noted: "The steam which arose from it was of three distinct colors. From the West side for one third of the diameter it was white, in the middle it was pale red, and the remaining third on the East light sky blue. Whether it was something peculiar in the state of the atmosphere.. or whether it was some chemical properties contained in the water... I am unable to say and shall leave the explanation to some scientific tourist who may...visit this place in the future."
What causes these colors? In Grand Prismatic spring, and others of similar character, the orange color is due to pigmented bacteria of the microbial mats, and the blue color to refracted skylight. The principal pigment for photosynthesis is chlorophyll, which is green. However, chlorophyll is sometimes masked by carotenoids, pigments related to vitamin A, which are orange, yellow, or red. Carotenoids protect the cells from the bright sunlight that occurs in Yellowstone, especially during the summer.
The color of a mat depends principally upon the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids. In the summer the chlorophyll content is often low, so that the microbial mats appear orange, red, or yellow. In the winter, the mats are usually dark green, because at this time of year the sunlight is subdued and chlorophyll dominates over carotenoids. In fact, even a few cloudy days in mid-summer can lead to an increase in chlorophyll and a darkening of the mats.
Thus, it is not just the kinds of bacteria but the response they make to sunlight that determines the colors.

actually, i really don't want to go back to kaohsiung
i just want to go home.... however, i still have one year to stay in Kaohsiug...
i hate to think of that...
now i have to hold the last 3 weeks to go out with some friends that i like
but havn't been out with
yesterday i went out with an old couple, Pat and Bill
they are so cute and they like to walk
so i really enjoy the day with them
it's my first time to go out with them^^
and next Thursday, i will go out with Anne
she is an old lady too, but she is funny and genuie
and she teaches me some Spanish!!! that's funny~~
mother told me that it's not good to depend on "feeling" to choose friends
but for me, that's the only way to choose friends
if one is naive and genuie, i would feel comfortable to get along with them
anyway, i will not be sad when i leave here

Christmas
tomorrow, Aug. 24, is the christmas here
but my two important working partners are both not here...
it makes the specific day is as usual as the others...
i saw them off yesterday and today....
i am really sad... for i really enjoy working with them
the first one is my gift department leader, Nona
she is and old lady, who has really beautiful blue eyes and brilliant smile
she is humorous and elegant, i like her so much...
but out of some reasons, she and his husband quit the job here and go home much earlier
i havent go out with them yet!!!
and i just get the chance to go out with here this week for we finally have the same day-off
but it still to late...
the second one is the guy i work with at confession
his name Brian, and he comes from Hong Kong
who studies law and 3 years younger than me
but i think he is much maturer than me....
he is funny and has good attitude toward his job
he knows and tries to make good coffee, ice cream, and beautiful sundae
he knows in what situation the coffee will become bitter or light....
and he always say hello loudly to those old men who work here
i think he makes those seniors' heart warm and younger
this is the reason why i like to work with him than other Taiwanese girls here...
girls always think about the money (ex. how to make more tips, or argue why some customers dont give tips, or try to get more hours...)
but not try to understand more about those coffee and ice cream
or try to say hello to those old men surrounding us....
i am so tired about this talking topics.... so tired....
thus, Brian is really a good partner to me.
i am sad to see them get away from me...
although i know that we just meet for a temperate period
although i know that i can never keep anyone beside me
my mood still be effected by the departure
but... why in this situation.... i cann't cry??
i should cry.... for them...
for the voice i may not hear or the smile i may not see again...
thank you both for coming into my life
but my two important working partners are both not here...
it makes the specific day is as usual as the others...
i saw them off yesterday and today....
i am really sad... for i really enjoy working with them
the first one is my gift department leader, Nona
she is and old lady, who has really beautiful blue eyes and brilliant smile
she is humorous and elegant, i like her so much...
but out of some reasons, she and his husband quit the job here and go home much earlier
i havent go out with them yet!!!
and i just get the chance to go out with here this week for we finally have the same day-off
but it still to late...
the second one is the guy i work with at confession
his name Brian, and he comes from Hong Kong
who studies law and 3 years younger than me
but i think he is much maturer than me....
he is funny and has good attitude toward his job
he knows and tries to make good coffee, ice cream, and beautiful sundae
he knows in what situation the coffee will become bitter or light....
and he always say hello loudly to those old men who work here
i think he makes those seniors' heart warm and younger
this is the reason why i like to work with him than other Taiwanese girls here...
girls always think about the money (ex. how to make more tips, or argue why some customers dont give tips, or try to get more hours...)
but not try to understand more about those coffee and ice cream
or try to say hello to those old men surrounding us....
i am so tired about this talking topics.... so tired....
thus, Brian is really a good partner to me.

nightmare
i had a nightmare again last night
just slept for one and half hour, i was awake by a nightmare
it's the second time that i dreamed about the death of my family....
it was terrible, i cried out badly...
in this week, my roommate work at late shift, so she sleep very late
i always sleep at 12:00, but when she comes in the room
i am always awake by the voice of their talking voice, the light, the sound made by the door....
i really sleep badly this weed..god...
it might be one of the reason which result in my unstable mood lately

my job
at the first month, my job is stocking in gift department
it's boring, but i can touch all the kinds of gifts here
most of them are mugs, cups, key chains, stuffed animals
at August, i was transfered to confession
i scoop ice cream, sundae, make coffee( the coffee are made by coffee machine ), or be a cachier there.
accutually, it's much fun here, for i have to face many customers everyday
besides, i love to make mocha and sundae!!!
i try to make these two kinds of food beautiful, but i haven't very successful yet....
i guess i am successful making the sundae look nice
however, i never eat the sundae before, not sure how to make it delicious...
and the mocha
the only thing i can contral is the volume of the chocolate syrup and the shape of the whipped cream on the top
until now, i still cann't make the cream beautiful, and precisely control the volume of chocolate syrup....but i try everyday (and drink mocha everyday XD) hope i can be good one day...
one of my co-worker is a boy from Hong Kong, who has been working at confession for two months
to be honest, it's much better to work with him than other girls...
at least, he make me feel relax.... but he will leave here on Thursday
i guess the confession will become less funny after he leaves.... so sad

HUMAN
everyone has many defferent sides, right?
one may be okay to get along with while in daily life
but he/she may give you quite different feelings when you work with them...
for exmaple, i really hate people always tell mewhat to do when i am working
i know what's my duty
but their giggling really made feel unhappy!!
girls seem much easier to become nervous
for example, when the customer line becomes long
those girls quick talking pace really drives me crazy
why cann't they take easy??
i have my own working tempo, don't interrupt me with your own thoughts!!
sometimes i really with i am a man
then i may be able to put up with those girls....
