What Language Should You Learn?

新竹市

城隍廟夜市—新竹小吃以中山路城隍廟和法蓮寺廟前廣場為中心,廟口小吃的形成,大約是在台灣光復之逐漸成形的,至今約有四十幾年的歷史。 這裡小吃攤之分布情形,於廟前廣場以販賣各類小吃熱食,包括米粉、肉圓、貢丸、加志粥、魷魚羹等,而位於東門街及中山路兩側的攤位,則販賣當地的特產,諸如米粉、貢丸、香粉、花生醬等近竹特產,方便遊客採購 

   石家鱼丸
    地址:兴学街29号
    电话:(03)524-2965
    营业时间:0800-1400
    休息时间:农历每月3、17日
    店内特色:骨肉鱼丸汤
   
    50年老店的石家鱼丸,没有招牌却门庭若市,香甜的汤味老远就可闻到。老板用新鲜鲨鱼自制的大颗鱼丸,包着猪肉、荸荠做的内馅,配上大猪骨熬的汤头,味道鲜美不油不腻,加上大骨肉,就是最受欢迎的骨肉鱼丸汤。

    新大同饮食店
    地址:大同路146号
    电话:(03)527-7327
    营业时间:0800-1600
    店内特色:贡丸切仔面、贡丸筋
    
    传承四代的新大同,手工自制的贡丸配上大骨汤,不加味素就很香甜可口。其招牌贡丸之所以有名,肉鲜是首要条件,其次,取猪的后腿肉去筋精制,再加上做工道地,弹性十足;客人若现场吃不过瘾,还可称斤外卖,而其利用剔下的猪筋做成超大型的贡丸筋,亦十分独特。

   黑猫包
    地址:北门街187号
    电话:(03)523-3560
    营业时间:1500-翌日0300
    店内特色:福州包子
    
    黑猫包其实就是福州包子,因为之前的老板娘外号叫“黑猫姐”,卖的包子也跟着被叫“黑猫包”了。黑猫包特别之处在于发面时不用新酵母,而是用前一天留下的老面糟,代代相传的陈年酵母,让面皮更香Q有劲;内馅则用鲜嫩的生瘦肉和去油的熟肥肉,拌上熬煮10小时的肉汁,调味搅匀后先冰冻再包,吃起来汤汁满满,香味四溢。

    鸭肉许
    地址:北门街185号
    电话:(03)525-3290
    营业时间:1630-翌日0200
    休息时间:农历每月3、17日
    店内特色:鸭肉面、炒鸭血、炒下水
   
    见到鸭肉许店墙上挂着“日理万鸭”木匾,再看用餐时间客满的人潮,就知道绝非浪得虚名。熏鸭配上独家黄瓜泡菜,是鸭肉许的招牌菜色;而每碗面每道菜都是现点现做,尤以蒸鸭原汁作汤底、韭菜花配炒,吃来更鲜脆香甜。北门街54号亦有分店。

下周末去台湾出差1周,做些功课,研究下小吃先~

  最传统的糕点

  如果说鲁肉饭是最为人们所熟知的台湾快餐,米血糕无疑就是最传统、历史最悠久的台湾小吃了。米血糕顾名思义,是用糯米和血做成的糕点。在台湾分两种,一种叫猪血糕,用猪血和糯米制成;一种叫米血糕,用鸭血和糯米制成。而吴记选择了更为细腻、口感更好的鸭血来制作。蒸好的米血糕看上去极像黑糯米糕,只是更为平滑,其实它是用白糯米制成的。因为加入了鸭血和台湾油膏的缘故,才呈现出如斯色泽。

  夹一块入口,香软粘糯,淡淡的甜味中略带一丝咸,洒在表面的花生粉精细到没有粒状物,完全与米血糕的软糯配合起来,是女孩子最中意的口感

 

饭团:老伯很亲切地让你选择9种馅,鱼松,香菇,肉,可口的早餐。

大肠包小肠:大肠是用糯米做的,小肠就是台湾香肠啦,我是在花莲七星谭海边吃的。
卤味: 好赞的宵夜,黑轮,米血糕我都喜欢,看起来有点像我们的麻辣烫,这些东西也都是火锅常吃的,只不过不是麻辣味的。
东山鸭头:好吃,不记得怎么做得啦,皮有点焦,好像炸过。
万峦猪脚: 屏东名吃,也是一种卤味,上次跟人说成‘万峦猪手’,台湾人愣了半天,呵呵。
客家粽:不太一样,糯米做的,但是透明的,豆沙馅。
面线: 去西门町的时候排长队等啊宗面线,不错哦,我在四川成都的公馆菜也吃到过类似的面。
蛤(e)仔煎:就是这种蛤类,然后放到蛋饼里面,上面浇番茄酱。
阿给: 淡水小吃,好像是饼里面包着粉丝,辣辣的,早餐食品。
虱目鱼粥: 有点像鱼片粥,还加了油条。
红豆饼: 香甜可口,还有花生的,香芋的。
烧仙草: 烧好的仙草里面有花生粉,果仁(红豆?)。
珍珠奶茶: 味道很浓,而且700cc才25NTB(半个刀),就是红茶+奶精+珍珠摇啊摇,flushing有家很正宗。
木瓜牛奶:我的最爱,不过自己会做啦。
液香扁食:就是混沌啦,名气很大。
花生卷冰激凌:一个阿伯在一边磨花生粉,我还去试试啦,然后把冰激凌用蛋饼包起来,撒上花生粉
鼎泰丰: 小笼包,蒸饺,混沌,特别有名气,等位子要好久,据说是上纽约时报的呢。
涮涮锅: 我去过150ntb吃到饱的,很不错,牛肉丸,花枝,鱼丸,我很喜欢沙茶酱。
水果:亚热带和热带真好,有很多没见过的水果,莲雾,释迦(很像佛头),芭乐。
闲下来就忍不住地想,
最后一天,发生了什么,哦,你说要去吃早餐,吃完,我说我们再一起吃午餐。于是我们吃完早餐,象平常一样告别。12点,我们在一起去吃chinese lunch box..
提前离开公司,先去box处,不见tt,去ana还不见他,又回box,还不见他,着急,打apt的电话,无人接听,。打算打总计,却错接到了新妹妹,赶忙挂掉。
又回ana,总算看到了熟悉的背影。
我知道,我不会错过他,起码,不是今天。
他说他也去box那里找我,他还以为我不回来了,以为,就象竹内结籽的电影里那样,我们就想往常一样告别,然后就永不回头了。我以前也许能做到,但这次不行。没想到,自己也有如此缠绵的时候。
我们剩下不到30分钟,不打算吃饭,就相依为这,四目对视着,互相努力的忍住不让眼泪掉下来。不敢讨论什么话题,不能让忍住眼泪的防线分心。
tt说最喜欢大洋路,我说恩。因为我差点都以为去不了了。
我说我想我们还能在一起旅游。他说,他夏天要internship.
tt你领走也不给我一个希望,好残忍。
不敢想最后上车前的情景,我剁末希望世界在那一刻就毁灭了算了。
昏昏噩噩的插干眼泪,强作振奋,回公司坐班。做人正tm的累,扭曲自己的理想,放弃自己的最爱,摧残自己脆弱不堪直道冷酷无情。所以说lifesucks呢,可是tt不许我这么说。看在他的份上,还要讨好自己的好心情。
就这样,自己过了1,2,3,4,5天了。
时不时地会想,上个礼拜现在我在干什么,上个月现在我在干什么,两个月前的现在我在干什么。一切是那么的清晰,又那么的遥远。
也许还会不断地持续下去,又一天,我还在想,几年前的几天,我在京都,发脾气,说了一百遍tt sucks,我好好好后悔。。。
 
 
 
 
 
"No Matter What"

Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We’ll find our own way back

I can’t deny what I believe
I can’t be what I’m not
I know our love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter (ooh)
If only night was day (ooh)
If only prayers were answered (hear my prayers)
Then we would hear God say (say)

No matter what they tell you (ooh)
No matter what they do (ooh)
No matter what they teach you
What we believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it’s barren
A dream is being born

(Ooh)

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I’ll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don’t shine (sun don’t shine)
Or if the skies are blue (skies are blue)
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can’t deny what I believe (what I believe, yeah)
I can’t be what I’m not
(I know, I know) I know this love’s forever
That’s all that matters now
No matter what

No matter what (no, no matter, no)

No, no matter
That’s all that matters to me
[Repeat X 7]

 

竹报平安 on your painting means  – wishing peace
It pronounces as zhu2 bao4 ping2 an1
 
竹zhu2 sounds like wish (as in wishing someone good health) zhu4 祝

The bamboo is very resilient throughout the four seasons, and has come to stand for endurance and courage in the face of hardships.

It’s the symbol of a noble and strong character.And people believed that when this plant is burnt it makes a crackling sound and frightens of evil spirits.

In the past , people burn it especially on New Year Eve.
Later, we had firecraker as a replacement.
Nowdays, firecraker and fireworks are set off for celebration e as old customs .
 
 
Another meaning of the word is Bamboo for Safty.
We say 花开富贵 together with 竹报平安 which means Flowers for riches or wealth.
 
The meaning of Safty comes from this :
The 竹(bamboo) is the material to make 竹简 (zhujian), which is used to write letters on.
竹报(zhubao)  is the alias for family letters.
so 竹报平安 refers to the family letter to report safety.

So, your "made it" actually is a 竹报平安.
 
 
Makes sense? Good enough? Whatever?

The charactor next to 竹报平安 is the date : Chinese New Year of 丙卯 —-
丙parameter 1 and 卯 parameter 2. Parameter1 has 12 values and parameter2 has 10 values, the combination of them can count 60 years.
So your painting should be done in 1986 or 1926 or ….
 
The stamp is a little too art, I think it is 竹王 which is supposed to be the name of the painter, meaning Bamboo King.

 

偶尔翻到去年春天的照片。
 
发现原来在UT的office都可以看到Izhumi Garden.
还可以看到尚未竣工的MidTown。

Hello, hi, it’s me, a knight 
and please, my love, receive the happiness 
Hello, hello, it’s me, Picasso
I made you a ring and I’m pretty
But you must know I’m asking you nothing 

You want to go but you don’t, you don’t take me with you 
You don’t, you don’t take me with you, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t take me with you 
You’re face and the love under the lime-tree
remember me your eyes 

You want to go but you don’t, you don’t take me with you
You don’t, you don’t take me with you, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t take me with you
You’re face and the love under the lime-tree 
remember me your eyes

I call, to tell you, to tell you what I feel, now 
Hello, my love, it’s me, the happiness 
Hello, hello, it’s me again, Picasso, 
I made you a ring and I’m pretty 
But you must know I’m asking you nothing 

You want to go but you don’t, you don’t take me with you

最重要的,不是爱上谁, 而是如何去爱。
 
每一个人,都在等一个人。
 
牵手或放手,幸福,或祝福。
 
将思念切为一千份,折成纸飞机寄送给你。希望你带着半个月亮来找我。
 
总是期待你能偶尔回头,鼓舞我追逐后的汗水。
