demi's suitcase

這應該是傳說中世界上最難走的路吧，又抖又斜又彎曲。在40度的陡坡上，有8個急轉彎，所以在這裡，車子只可以前進，無法後退，如果你自認開車技術很好，一定要去試試看你的技術噢。卡車應該無法開進去，一定會被卡住。我想我開車技術這麼的不好，一定會撞到旁邊吧。我也覺得買在這旁邊的人家太厲害了，他們每天都要很戰戰兢兢的停車吧？且會一直聽到剎車的聲音，因為這邊的時速一定連5 mile都沒有，不過這就是人生，不是嗎？人生不可能永遠是直的，一定會是彎彎曲曲，且當你走了一步後，就不可以再往回走了。不過就是因為不知道前面是什麼，更加讓人想要往前走，因為這樣的人生才刺激阿。崎嶇的路可以激蕩起漂亮的火花。
This is the hardest road in the world. because its so cliffy, curvy and tilt. They have 8 curves in a road, and the car can only drive forward not backward. If you think you have a perfect drive skill, you need to try here to test it. If a truck drives there, it should be stuck into this road. Furthermore, I respect someone live here. because they need to bother by every driver's break all day in 365 days. You don't allow to drive more than 5 miles at this road, and I think I may hit at the road for my suck skill. The curve road can represents our life, because our life can't always be smooth. Thus, you can't go back if you already walk for the first step. However, we need to walk forward because we don't know what's going on in the front. The road has more challenges that we will work hard to stimulate pretty end for the future.

金門大橋是美國舊金山的地標，是近代橋梁的一個奇蹟。這座橋號時了5年完成，運用了紅色，更讓這個地標在這個城市中，增添了美麗的氣息。而這座橋被譽為自殺場所之一，因為從這麼高的橋一躍而下，生還機率是0，所以許多人會跑到這個地方結束生命。看到這個我就覺得滿sad，因為生命很美好，應該要好好把握生命才對，沒有過不去的事情，只有過不去的心情。在做事情之前，想想身邊在乎你，籐你的朋友跟家人，一切都會雨過天青的。
Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark for SF, and its also a miracle. The bridge built for 5 years, and this red bridge add more flavor for this city. The bridge is famous because a lot of people suicide here. If you jump in this high place, you won't survive definitely. When I saw this ratio for this bridge, I felt sad for those people because life is awesome. Everyone should value their life more seriously for someone who care about us, such as your families and friends. Their is a saying" You can beat everything, but you may not beat your heart." You need to think twice before doing, then you won't regret it. 

藝術宮，為了萬國博覽會所興建的建築物，本來應該要被打掉，不過最後被留下來，現在變成SF一個很有名的觀光景點。這個建築物是仿照羅馬的風格來打造，頗有競技場的感覺。而為了讓這個建築物不那樣的孤單，也在旁邊用了許多造景，讓這個雄偉的建築物，搭配着造境，更加得有氣勢。我一直很佩服過去的人在建築上的造型，現在許多的建築物，都是使用鋼筋水泥，但過去科技還這樣不發達的時候，能有這樣的造景，真讓人讚嘆。
我之前也在問我朋友一個問題，過去好多偉人，他門可以身兼數學家/科學家/音樂家/畫家，但是反觀現在科技的進步，似乎能有這麼一個人身兼數值/多才多藝的人已經少見。到底是時代讓我門退步？還是過去的人比較聰明呢？
The palace of Fine Art is a building for International Exposition. It suppose to demolish at that time, but the resident ask to keep it and become a famous sight in SF. The build is following Roman's style, and it looks like arena in the past. In order not to make this building looks lonely, it puts artificial views around. When you stay far to look through this significant building with other view on the side, how awesome it is! I really appreciate the old people who build this building, because they don't have modern skill. 
I asked a question before, why so many people who is a musician/painter/ scientist/ mathematician in a past? However, we have so many progress for our tech, seldom people can talented in so many different ways? Is the tech makes us back-forth? Or the people in the past are really smart?

來到舊金山，如果你沒有搭過叮噹車，不要說你來過舊金山。而我覺得站在外面看著舊金山的風景，會是最棒的位置。在2011年跟我的韓國室友一起瘋狂地到西岸玩耍20天，在舊金山搭着叮噹車，跟著路人大聲地大喊“聖誕快樂”跟“新年快樂”，看著路上的人跟你說“聖誕快樂”時，那種感覺真的很棒。人跟人之間，一定要有互動，如果只有單方面對話，人跟人就不會有任何的交流。
聖誕節就在下個禮拜了，我真的好喜歡這個節日，因為有聖誕老公公，有聖誕歌，還有很多漂亮的裝飾，讓人有種幸福滿滿的感覺，今年的聖誕節，你心裡有想要一起度過的人嗎？
When you visit SF, you can't defiantly miss cable car. If you won't take this cable car, don't tell people you visit SF. When I took this cable car, and the best place is outside of the car. You cam see a lot of view when you stand outside of the car. I visited SF with my Korean roommate for 20 days in 2011, and we yield and say" Merry Christmas & Happy New Year" to the people at sidewalk. I really like the feeling to greet strangers, because everyone should have interaction. If you only have single conversation, then you will stop the conversation. 
Christmas is coming next week. I will like this festival, because we have santa clause, christmas songs, and lot of pretty decoration around. Christmas is full of happiness, and do you have any people in your mind that you want to spend time with him/her now?

我去過這麼多的city hall，我真的覺得每一個city hall都有自己的味道，而有些很威嚴，有些很氣派，雖然都是在美國，不過還是有東西，中南部之分。西部人的比較熱情，東部的人比較冷，是不是因為東部的陽光比較少呢？因為在boston生活2年的我，發現那邊的人多半已黑色為主，且感覺比較憂鬱，我記得我冬天穿了一個橘色的外套時，大家的目光一直在我身上，似乎我是一個外星人。來到加州後，沒有什麼機會穿到大外套，不過我還是很喜歡這邊的天氣，每天早上可以跟太陽公公說早安，真是幸福。
I been so many city hall in USA, and I feel its so different in each state. Some are magnificent, and some are fancy. Although it all in USA, it still have different among western, eastern, and middle area. Is it because its cold in east coast which cause western people are more energetic and eastern people are more cold. When I studied in Boston for 2 years, I can feel most of people wear black which make them blue at their face. I remembered I wear orange jacket in the winter, surprised everyone look me as an alien. Furthermore, I moved to CA for goods, and I don't have chance to wear my heavy jacket. Luckily, I have a chance to say "hi" to my lovely sun, what a happiness time.

這是去金門大橋之前，路過的一個很大的公園，剛好巧遇聖誕節，所以大家都跑出來跟聖誕老公公一起跳舞。我是一個舞蹈白癡，跳舞真的很像機器人，害我都不好意思在朋友面前跳舞，不過我覺得外國人的接受程度很高，即使你不會跳舞，他門也很樂意教你，他門覺得就是身體扭動，所以根本不在意你會跳還是不會跳。其實來美國後，我也有改觀不少，我一直以為文法很重要，但是我發現，當你在跟外國人說話時，他門真的不會在意你的文法，因為“語言”是拿來溝通，就像小朋友也不大會表達，但是他門會運用很多方式讓我門知道他門想要什麼。所以對我來說，語言只是一個工具，只要讓對方知道你在說什麼/想什麼，這樣就夠了。世界上有這麼多語言，怎麼可能每種語言都很流利。給害怕說英文的人共勉之，大聲開口說英文，才可以建立人跟人之間的橋梁。
I visit a park before the Golden Gate Bridge, luckily, the Christmas is coming which a lot of people are going out to dance with santa claus. Honestly, I am bad at dance, so my dance is really funny. I feel embarrassed to dance in front of people, but the foreigners accept it. Even though you don't know how to dance, they are willing to teach you how to do it. They think dance is only a grooving, so they really don't care you can or not. When I study in USA, I figure out American not really care about your grammar, I always feel bad when I say a wrong sentence, but they seems not care about it. "Language" is a tool which you communicate with people. Children can't good at express their feeling, but they will try their best to let people to understand. Don't be afraid to communicate with them, because the most important thing just let people know your feeling. When you try to communicate with them, you will build a bridge with them directly. 

這一區是舊金山很有名的同志村，而路上也都會放上彩虹旗，現在彩虹其也被廣泛運用為同性戀的代表，不過彩虹有7道，不過彩虹旗只有6個顏色。我想會運用彩虹旗的原因，應該是希望這些同性戀者可以跟我門一樣，有美麗的顏色，因為還是有很多地方會把它門貼上標籤，覺得他門很奇怪，不想跟他門當朋友。不過我很佩服這些追求自己愛情的一群人，不管是喜歡男生/女生，他門跟我門一樣，都是想要有個人在身邊照顧他們，疼惜他門。雖然我沒有同性戀的朋友，不過我真的很想聽他門分享他門的故事。而這裡有很多同志酒吧，下次我也想進去看看。
根據統計來說，紐約是同志的大本營，LA身居第二，而芝加哥排名第三，而SF排名第四。
This area is a famous gay village in SF, and it has a lot of rainbow flags all over around. Rainbow flags become an icon of gay, but they only have 6 colors instead of 7 colors. I think they use this flags for icon, because they hope those people can live pretty life like as. Some places are still mark those people as weirdo, and its really unfair for them. I believe everyone has his/ her own right to persuade his/ hers love, everyone born equal no matter who he/she loves. They just like us want to have a stable relationship, and someone who can take care and be with them. Although I don't have gay friends, I really want to know them to listen their own stories. Furthermore, they have so many gay bars around, I really want to take a look next time. 
According to the statistics, New york has more gays over there, LA is second, Chicago belongs to third, and SF ranks is the fourth.

聯合廣就像SF的心臟，跟time square是紐約的心臟一樣。它正對Macy百貨，且附近有很多商場，是一個繁華的地方。在聖誕節的期間，會有聖誕樹在這個廣場，讓溜冰的人可以在這個溫暖的聖誕樹下，感受到幸福的感覺。而他有一個著名的愛心地標上面有金門大橋的的logo，在聖誕節前夕，愛心真的可以給人開心溫暖的感覺。正逢聖誕節，不妨帶著你的另一半，到這個地方感受一下。能在高大的聖誕樹下，一起跨過2013年，擁抱14年，再給對方一個真誠的吻，在兩個小小的世界中，有著大大的幸福。
Union square is as a heart in SF, and its the same as the time square is a heart in NY. It's in front of Macy's, and there are bunch of shopping places close by. When christmas is coming, it will have a huge christmas tree stands in the center of the square. Its really warm for someone who do ice skating in the union square, and people can feel happiness with this christmas. Furthermore, they have a heart shape landmark which print Golden Gate Bridge logo on it that you can take a photo with it. In this coming count down, ask your lover to go together. Asking someone who can pass through 2013 and embrace 2014 with you. Then give someone a sincere kiss, its a big happiness between you and your lover's small world.

舊金山的漁人碼頭，從35~39號都是屬於碼頭，而最著名的就是pier 39，而在這邊也可以搭船去對面的惡魔島，只要20分鐘就可以到，不過要先預約，因為一天都有名額限制，所以我門上次沒機會過去，所以下次我一定要去參訪。來這個碼頭，一定要喝巧達濃湯，這是大家來一定會點的食物。他特別的是它是裝在一個圓形的麵包中，而這個麵包是有點微酸，我還以為是壞掉了，真像鄉巴佬。在假日時，碼頭還會有很多街頭藝人，讓碼頭增添很多顏色。
沿著碼頭，會看到很多船舶停靠，還有一個地方可以看可愛的海獅，是一個適合全家出遊的好地方。旁邊的商店街也絡繹不絕，大大小小的人群，把這個冷冷的12月，更添增聖誕的氣氛。
Fisherman's wharf from NO.35~39 in SF, and the famous one is pier 39. You can also take a boat to Alcatraz from this pier, and it only takes 20 minutes. However, you need to make a reservation first, I didn't know it before I travel to SF. Thus, I will go next time when I travel to SF again. When you visit this wharf, you can't miss clam chowder, everyone will order it here. It makes by a round with sour bread which make this clam chowder special, and I think its rotten when I drank it. What a countryman! During the weekend, there has a lot of buskers will performance here, and it will add a lot of colors in this wharf. Walking along the wharf, you can see many boats are stop by there, and there is a place where you can see cute sea lions that attract so many families to walk here. Furthermore, the shops are crowded not only for visitors but also for local people. The view makes this cold December more warming.

我一直很喜歡舊金山彎彎曲曲的路，路很陡，且上上下下，讓我想到人生中，你會有頂峰時，你也會有失意的時候，但我門要怎麼學會去調適，最近看了“食神”這部片，看到周星馳在被打敗後，又重新東山再起，我想有一半的人可能不會像他一樣勇敢，因為東山再起，需要的不光是勇氣，還有一份堅持，看著舊金山上上下下的路，就跟我門的人生一樣。
現在風靡一時的黃色小鴨，我在2011去舊金山時，就已經體驗過了。雖然不是巨大小鴨，而黃色小鴨的風潮，真的是讓人不可小覷，我真的很好奇大家的動機，真的是因為喜歡？還是因為媒體的炒作，覺得一定要去看一下呢？有去看小鴨鴨的人可以分享一下你門的心得嗎？
