Ocean Bo Dim Sum Café 我好愛吃港式飲茶 [LA]
Friends say, “Oh, yeah, I read your blog; the food looks delicious!”
看我部落格的朋友常常第一句話就說,「對呀,那些菜看起來很好吃!」
I argue that I also post other MEANINGFUL things, not just food.

If it’s not meant for you, it is not 注定不是我的 [LA]
When I lived in Santa Monica, I parked my car on the street side. The only time you are not supposed to park is between noon and 2 pm on Thursday for street cleaning. Well, I had to work anyway, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
住 Santa Monica 時,車子是停在馬路邊的,除了每週四中午至下午兩點要清掃街道,不能停外,其他時候都沒問題,反正我都要上班,所以也沒特別注意。

Big yet cute - N. Elephant Seals 加州聖西蒙看海象 [CA]
What we called Sea Elephant is a seal, belonging to the same Pinnipeds relatives with Sea Lion and other kinds of seals.
海象應該叫象鼻海豹,屬海豹科,跟海獅與其他種海豹歸於鳍脚目 (海豹跟海狗、海獅最大分別在於海豹沒有外露的耳朵) 。

Cereus? 是曇花呀? [LA]
最近搬家 (沒錯,過去 10 年中第 9 次搬),新房東 Carolyn 說後院 Cereus 開花,她說如果我那一星期開始搬東西過去,就可以賞花。

Mission San Fernando Rey de España 聖弗南多傳道院 [CA]
Mission San Fernando, named after St. Ferdinand, King of Spain (1217-1252), is the only mission named after a Spanish king. This was the 17th in the CA-Mission Chain and was founded by Father Fermin Lasuen.
聖弗南多傳道院 以西班牙的聖弗南多國王 (1217-1252) 為名,也是唯一以西班牙國王之名來命名的傳道院;這是第 17 座加州傳道院,在 1797 年 9 月 8 日由 Fermin Lasuen 神父負責完成, 這也是他個人負責的第四座。

Van Gogh? Van Goat? - Getty 蓋提博物館觀羊 [LA]
到蓋提博物館看山羊?有沒有搞錯呀?不是去看藝術品?
我實習的博物館是蓋在坡地上,往東及東南看洛杉磯市區,往南及西南是聖塔莫尼卡,天氣好時,往西可看到太平洋上的安娜卡帕島 (Anacapa Island) 。

April 15 in Dodger Stadium 小小郭投球 [LA]
Hong-Chih Kuo would start Dodgers’ game and I really wanted to watch him pitch, so I asked my boss whether I could leave an hour earlier and make it up later.

Humpback 聖塔芭芭拉之座頭鯨 [SANTA BARBARA]
We boarded the 9 am boat for whale watching (there would be one at noon and one at 3 pm on Sunday – although every company has different schedules for weekday and weekend)

越怕的越會碰到 - Californian poppy 加州州花 [CA]
The CA state flower is California poppy, which is also called Eschscholzia californica. Antelope Valley Californian Poppy Reserve is only an hour and a half away, so I really wanted to check it out during its peak season: March-May.
聽說加州州花是 poppy ,知道它的保留區距我住的地方只要一個半小時,便想趁著花季時 (March – May)去瞧瞧。

結果竟然換了店名,大概老闆換了;既然都進了店門,也不好意思走出去,就坐下來。

Mission Begins! 任務開始 [CA]
Father Junípero Serra built first mission in San Diego in 1769.Until 1823, there were 21 missions in total in California along El Camino Real – roughly Highway 101 today. Harsh weather and earthquakes certainly don’t help the reservation of the 21 California Missions but most of them are still functioning – church services, weddings and funerals.
西班牙傳教士Father Junípero Serra從1769年起,在聖地牙哥蓋了一座傳道院,之後沿著太平洋北上到Sonoma (舊金山北邊一點) ,一路 興建傳道院,到1823年止,共建了21座;經過兩百多年的風吹日曬雨淋加地震,大致上是保留下來,現在統稱 21 California Missions。

Pam's Place (Thai food) 泰國菜 [LA]
We went to Pam’s Place for Thai food. The exterior didn’t look appealing at first glimpse - we heard good comments about it so we went.
這一天吃泰國菜,到一家叫 Pam’s Place 的餐廳。評論多說它的外觀不起眼,不過很不錯吃。

Cafe Brasil 吃巴西菜 [LA]
好友淑宜來美國找我玩,一起去吃了好幾家餐廳。先到這家一位德國實習生推薦的巴西小餐廳。外面露天看起來還不錯,可是晚上還是太涼了,室內還開暖氣!

Courthouse 聖塔芭芭拉法院 [SANTA BARBARA]
Did you know that in 1500s, people thought the current state of California was an island?
您知道在西元1500年代時,人們以為現在的加州是一個獨立的島嶼嗎?
The proof is on the mural in the Law Library inside the Santa Barbara Courthouse.
有圖為証: 在聖塔芭芭拉法院內的法律圖書館中,有一面牆壁上畫有當時的地圖。
