終於在上週五帶家人一起到新北投的梅苑小館享用好久以前就買的Groupon團購券,當時看到這五道菜色相當吸引人,加上四人只要$549相當划算,而且猜想這幾道菜應該會是父母那代喜歡的口味,因此儘管新北投離我家遠得要命,還是毅然決然地買了!

[非常長的前言]

自從三年前去了澎湖就覺得好想把所有最喜歡的人都帶來玩,這幾年媽媽也表示有高度的遊澎湖興致,眾所皆知夏天澎湖的太陽是很毒辣的,於是就趁著真正的夏天還沒來臨之前,排了六天五夜的檔期去玩~大家一定覺得很奇怪,澎湖真的有那麼好玩、可以玩那麼多天嗎?老實說上次我也去了六天五夜,而且回來那天還是依依不捨。

星期六跟朋友出去玩聊到頭髮的事,晚上回到家突然非常想要剪頭髮(因為已經一年多沒管過頭髮了,從陳宜皮去年寒假幫我剪的有型短髮,經歷了馬桶蓋又到這陣子的莫名其妙有型長髮,不過頭髮一直打結有點煩),而且陳宜皮最近一直貼短髮大全害我非常心動…所以回到家就去hairdo板看一下精華區跟近期文章,發現中永和的資訊實在很亂又不齊全,最後找到最近有很多徵求髮模活動的公館HS B部,看了幾篇推薦文章跟照片以後決定找Ivan設計師。

雖然已經是第三天了,我們倆也沒有安排什麼行程(本來有,就是在搭火車前去森林公園看看大名鼎鼎的琵琶湖,不過昨天大豐帶我們去玩水上摩托車時,已經瞥見森林公園的一角,再考慮我們今天要把行李載到火車站,還要還車,所以就決定到時走一步算一步吧),但還是早早就起床整理行李。今天一起床就覺得外面很陰暗,濕濕的地面顯示不久前才下過一場雨,果然昨天不該為了急忙趕到溯溪集合地點而不照一下從陽光明媚的台東清晨的…退房以後整棟民宿還是安安靜靜的。不過要抱怨一下隔壁房間的客人一直在抽煙,搞得我們的客廳裡全是煙味,超資八的。最討厭強迫別人跟動物吸二手煙的人了

第二天早上六點鬧鐘一響,我就趕快跳起來刷牙洗臉,今天的重點行程就是李大律師跟我期待已久的溯溪!最近在綜藝節目上常看到,心生嚮往,由於第一天晚上的騎車經驗,我們決定既然7:30am必須趕到新園橋跟教練會合,就乖乖6:30pm出門,慢慢騎過去也許路上還有時間買早餐。兩人梳洗後換上泳衣,外面罩上洋裝跟薄紗就非常引人側目地出門了。沒想到才6:30am左右,民宿老闆就已經起床在整理院子中的植物了!本來想跟老闆借水管沖洗機車踏墊上的飲料印子,但律師覺得時間有點緊,乾脆回來再清理,我們就匆匆出門了。

清晨路上的車子不是很多,律師也騎得頗穩,本來天上還滿是厚厚的雲,騎著騎著雲也就開了,太陽出來了。我們很快(一般人應該覺得很慢,但以我們的速度來說是很快了!)就經過東興派出所,前頭就是新園橋了,於是我們開始找地方停車。由於律師還不太會操控車子,所以我們停車幾乎都是推來推去停的,最常聽到的一句話就是路過陌生人用台語說的:「車子壞了喔~」  這次也不例外,碰到一貨車的原住民應該是熱心助人地問我們要幹麼,我還聽到他們討論起:「應該是要去游泳的吧!」泳衣果然很引人注目

李大律師七月時通知我她八月週末都有假,說想出去玩,首選是蘭嶼,但機票要兩個月前購買所以當然失敗,再來就是花東了,我們看了一下網路上的遊記,由於盈佳跟我都很想玩溯溪,就決定是台東了。興沖沖做了很多事前調查,排了行程,也訂了民宿跟車票後,就天天祈禱老天爺配合,不要讓天氣打亂我們的旅行。

星期五晚上還在商量到底要不要衝大溪,雖然習慣宅在家的我不是很有動力,但在OL陳宜皮的熱情邀約下決定來共襄盛舉。

結果晚上睡覺時還像颱風一樣狂風暴雨,我睡得好不安穩,卻也有點擔心隔天天氣。

* Due to overwhelming amount of wrap-up work to do and finals to prepare and anxiety and pressure to deal with, it took me more than two weeks to finish this day, very atypical of me.

今天起床以後滿心歡喜地打開冰箱,結果錯愕地發現昨天預留給自己的早餐整盒不見了! 然後短暫的錯愕馬上變成憤怒,很想知道到底是哪個無恥的混帳吃了我的早餐,壞了我的省錢大作戰?  我甚至在公共用地的垃圾桶尋找保麗龍餐盒的屍體,還跑去櫃台問Daniel有沒看到誰吃掉一盒enchiladas…不過兇嫌至今依然下落不明。

After getting up, I happily opened the fridge but unexpectedly found that my leftover was gone! And then my shockedness was soon replaced by anger. I really wanted to find out which shameless bastard stole my food and ruined my money-saving plan. I even checked trash cans in common area and looked for the styrofoam box's corpse and asked Daniel at the front desk if he had seen anyone eating a box of enchiladas... However, the truth remains undisclosed until today.

今天早上又被便意叫醒。早餐突然很想吃鬆餅,所以跑去Mango餐廳點了早餐特餐,35 pesos包兩塊鬆餅(旁邊還加了非常好吃新鮮的木瓜)、咖啡、柳橙汁。

This morning I was awakened by my soon-to-be-flushed baby again. Suddenly I had a craving for pancake, so I ordered the special desayuno at Mango restaurant, 35 pesos for two pancakes (with fresh and delicious papaya on the side), coffee, and orange juice.

今天起床後我們還在為昨晚目睹母海龜產卵的經驗感到興奮,不過昨晚被蚊子吵所以沒怎麼睡好,而且還沒睡飽就因為便意跑去廁所了,住在Zicatela這幾天每天都水瀉,每天都被便意叫醒,真是原本過了幾十年便秘人生的我做夢也想不到的事(在美國的日子比台灣好很多),當下覺得墨西哥果然是我第二個家。

After getting up, we were still psyched about what we had experienced last night. I didn't get a good sleep because I was bugged by mosquitos, and I woke up before I had enough sleep because I needed to poop (how weird). During our stay in Zicatela, I pooped watery stuff everyday and was awakened by my poop every morning. It was something that I'd never dreamed of after decades of constipation life (well, the situation is better in the US than in Taiwan), so I couldn't help but think that Mexico was, as expected, my second home.

今天我們兩個都睡得很晚,十點左右才醒(可見我們一路上都多早起),要不是Dustin起來我大概還可以繼續睡,但要不是尿濕褲子Dustin恐怕也不會起來…沒錯,醒來之前Dustin一直夢到自己到處找廁所,最後終於找到廁所並尿出來,霎時感到兩腿之間的熱度,馬上醒來跑去廁所。真高興我們有兩張床…

We both didn't get up until pretty late, around 10 (so you know we had been early risers). Had not Dustin got up, I would have kept sleeping. But had not he wet his pants, he probably would have kept sleeping and dreaming too... That's right. Before waking up, Dustin was dreaming about finding bathrooms all the time, and he finally found one, and that was when he felt the warm liquid trickling between his thighs. So he got up and rushed to the toilet. I was so glad we had two beds...

這天在紫色宮殿的高級藍色牢房起床後,對於退房感到開心不已,因為廁所的狀況實在要把我逼瘋了…昨晚睡前去女廁尿尿,卻發現沖水又有問題(在基礎設施不好的墨西哥這問題很常見,基本上馬桶常常沒有座墊那一層,非常考驗大腿肌力,沖水水壓也常常過低,如果使用者沒有良心就會變成滿桶糞尿的狀態),馬桶裡有幾片屎,所以我直接跑去使用男廁。隔天起床要排尿竟發現女廁的屎更多了…

Waking up in our luxurious blue cell in this purple palace, I was very glad that we were going to check out soon, because the situation of the toilet was driving me crazy... Before going to bed last night, I went to pee in girl's room but found the flush didn't work (It's a common problem in Mexico where the infrastructure is still behind. It's often to see toilets without seats, a big test for your thigh muscle strength, and problems with the flush, so the sight of a toilet full of shit and urine is natural if users don't have any conscience.), and there were several pieces of shit in the toilet, so I went to use the guy's toilet. This morning when I wanted to deflate my bladder, I found more pieces of shit in lady's toilet...

這天的行程是搬家跟拜訪Monte Albán。

Our agenda today was moving to the youth hostal in downtown Oaxaca and visiting Monte Albán.

第二天早上我們挺早就醒了,事實上Dustin根本一夜沒睡。起床後終於有精神洗澡,發現hostal的水沒有網路上遊客說得那麼小就放心了。

We woke up pretty early the next morning. In fact, Dustin didn't sleep at all. I finally gather myself and took a shower and felt relieved that the water wasn't trickling, as described by other travelers who had stayed here before.

最後一個學期了,相處了兩年的室友Dustin說春假一起去旅行吧,從南加州、亞利桑那州、一路向德州的國家公園road trip,討論要買哪種睡袋才夠保暖,到真要暖和的話不如飛到墨西哥吧,到申請墨西哥簽證好像很麻煩(畢竟Monterey實在太小了,最近的墨西哥領事館也要跑到一個多小時外的San Jose)、我勢必得蹺課一週(我春假只有一個禮拜但我們覺得要去就該去兩個禮拜)及旅費將激增的難題,到最後想想花個800美金上下玩墨西哥好像也很不錯,就在連墨西哥簽證都還沒申請好之前就買了來回機票(而且買機票又是另一個故事了,由於Dustin想太多搞得我們自己佔了好機票的空缺,被迫買轉機重重的爛機票…不過好處是我們原定10天的假期也就這樣陰錯陽差變成了14天長假)。

It's the last semester. Dustin suggested we spend the spring break together. At first we were thinking about going on a road trip from southern CA to Arizona all the way to Texas, visiting lots of national parks and state parks on the way, and discussing what type of sleeping bags we should get to keep us warm at night. Then someone told Dustin that it's gonna be freezing at night in the states that we planned to visit. If we really want to be warm, we might as well go to Mexico. But then as a Taiwanese student holding an F-1 visa in the US, I needed to apply for a Mexico visa, which is a pain in the ass (because Monterey is too small and doesn't have a Mexican Consulate; the closest one is more than an hour away by car, in San Jose). Also, I had to skip a week of class after spring break since MIIS only had one-week spring break, and I didn't want to fly all the way to Mexico with just one-week stay. And the expense might increase dramatically compared to travelling in the states. I wanted to give up. One day Dustin got drunk and tried to persuade me going to Mexico with him (since he didn't want to go there alone and claimed to want to see Mexico through my eyes), and I thought spending around US$800 to visit Mexico wasn't a bad idea (I spent around that much to visit China and Hong Kong 3 years ago), so we bought round-trip tickets even before I applied for my Mexico visa. Purchasing flight tickets was another story. Dustin was thinking too much and worried too much, which put us in the predicament of having to give up the flights of better itinerary and get the ones with two connections and late arrival in Oaxaca, for we took up our own spots by trying to purchase the tickets first on priceline.com and then on Mexicana airline website. But it turned out to be a good misfortune because it prolonged our original 10-day trip to 14-day long vacation.  :)

今年的年來得特別晚,學校二月就開學,所以當然不可能留在台灣過年,我也就忘了這件大事。

過年前幾天Dustin邀請我去San Jose跟他家一起過年,想想看越南人怎麼過農曆年(越南人相當仇視曾想統治他們的中國)似乎蠻有趣的,所以就說好。
