SMOKE

After dinner, I listened to Jazz in SMOKE. This is a small Jazz bar. It is smaller than BLUE NOTE and COTTON CLUB. Of course, the cost is less. There is a band in the stage at 8pm. The singer.....

the sky out of window

I went to Freedom Trail at the last day in Boston. (Actually, the total is 2.5 days.)
On the way, I entered to Quincy Market to eat something and find a men's room. There are a lot of restaurants in Quincy Market. When I went to 2nd floor, I saw a nice view out of window.
A blue sky~
All things around the world seemed to be good. My mind is free and relaxed.
But I did't find the men's room at 2nd floor.
Conclusion: The restroom is in basement.

how lucky MIT students are!

The best institute of technology in the world--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT.
MIT is closed to Charles river in Boston. Because of this, MIT students are lucky. Rambling along the river sidewalk is very romantic. See the sunset and wind breezes. My body was relaxed.
Suddenly, some sailboats sailed before my eyes. The word on the sailcloth is "MIT". It is very very romantic and agreeable to sail on Charles river. See the view and feel the air. I think all pressure is disappeared. Then, I went to the boathouse to ask something about sailing. The staff asked me, "Are you MIT?"
You can get more information about Sailing in MIT from here.

New York Yankee$

There are a lot of famous players in Yankees.
A-Rod, Jeter, Giambi, Sheffield, Mussina, RJ, etc.
Of course, their salary is very high. Maybe their stats is not good.

Why is Yankee rich? Everything about Yankee is expensive.
Especially, the ticket is expensive.

Travelling in Fuhsing Township

My parents and I drove National Route 3 to take exit Dasi(大溪).We drove and travelled along Taiwan Provincial Route 7.[Note: Taiwan Provincial Route 7 is the North Cross-island Highway which is from Dasi to Ilan(宜蘭).]Our destination is Fuhsing township, Taoyuan County.
In 21km of Taiwan Provincial Route 7, we turned left to Isheng Village(義盛村). After 5km, we arrived to Little-Wulai Scenic Area(小烏來風景區). There is a strange stone named Wind-Rolling stone. It means that the stone will roll by wind. Actually, it still stay there tranquilly for a very long time. Wind-Rolling stone is situated upstream from the Little-Wulai waterfall, stands 5 meters high, weighs some 50 tons, and touches the ground with small area. After 921 earthquake, it is still there. Landform, weather, conditions, How it could be? The balance point is perfect. How amazing is the Creator?

I pretended to push the Wind-rolling stone, and I was afraid that the stone will roll. Photo:Jocelyn

There are two bridges are named Fuhsing bridge and Luofu bridge in 22km of Taiwan Provincial Route 7, respectively. They are across Tahan river(大漢溪). The Fuhsing bridge is for man and the Luofu is for car. The special in Fuhsing bridge is changing color. That' right. From purplish red, light green to violet, she changed her face 3 times in 10 years.

We stand on the Fuhsing bridge and background is the Luofu bridge. Photo:some passerby

baseball fans in Taiwan

How passionate are baseball fans in Taiwan?
Please press PLAY button in the toolbar. You will see a short movie about baseball fans in Taiwan.


Baseball fans chanted and beat the cheering sticks together. The power was very strong. One of the staff in the fans club shouted "Chang Tai-Shan"(張泰山) and fans shouted "chuan lei ta"(全壘打). "Chang Tai-Shan" is a name and he is a slugger. "chuan lei ta" means homerun.
The cheering sticks they beat are actually megaphones. But fans always let them become "noise maker". A pair of cheering sticks cost 50 NT dollars (approximate 1.5 US Dollar). Everyone beat cheering sticks and shouted loudly. That is shocking to match. The staff designed different chant and routine for every player. It is funny to be a baseball fan in Taiwan.
