During the Chinese New Year, I went to Qiaotou to check out the sea of flower. The good thing is that it didn't take us a long time to get there from Qiaotou Railway Station! I was hoping to see sun flowers, but to my disappointment, few sunflowers have bloomed. Instead, my friend and I spent more time taking photos of the garden cosmos. 中國農曆新年,我跑到橋頭賞花海。其實早在2007年就曾聽說過橋頭有花海,只是自己從未親自探索過。這次剛好在高雄捷運看到花海簡介,上頭清楚標示高雄市哪一個區的花海在哪個季節盛開,橋頭花海以波斯菊及向日葵兩種為主,盛開季節約莫在1月底,於是我就前往橋頭火車站,從橋頭火車站前方的站前路,走出來後左轉,看到十字路口,往前走就是新興路,沿著新興路走,很快就可看到向日葵花海,不過,因為開花季節其實還未到,所以吸引我去的,是下圖呈現的不知名的樹。
My dad told me the news about "Windows 7 wallpapers include Kaohsiung’s Lotus Lake", so I googled it and found the link to the news article. Read it if you want: 其實這新聞是過年前老爸告訴我的,一直告訴我蓮池潭變成Windows 7的桌布... 於是我忍不住上網查新聞報導還有官網,果然找到了! 有興趣就看一下新聞簡介吧!
Due to the Windows 7 Update website, there are actually wallpapers featuring other famous sightseeing spots from Taiwan, such as: Taroko National Park, clouds over Mountain Ali, Lao Mei's Green Rock Coast and so on. 不過根據官網上面的桌布,其實不僅有蓮池潭的八角亭喔,且有其他台灣著名景點,像是: 太魯閣國家公園、阿里山雲海 (說不定是玉山呢)、老梅綠石槽,等等,有些我還看不太出來到底是哪裡呢!
Here's a piece of news about 15 of the most beautiful subway stations in the world. I have no idea how those subway stations were selected, but I'm glad that among these 15 subway stations, two of them are from Kaohsiung! While I'm proud of Formosa Boulevard Station, I have to admit that like many people, we are puzzled why Central Park Station ranks number 4. Read the news article if you're interested: 有關全世界前15最美麗的地鐵站,身為台灣人的我們應該對此新聞都不會太陌生。其實這算是炫耀文吧 (炫耀給阿斗娃看的),主要是在這15個地鐵站當中,就有兩個是出自於高雄捷運站喔! 只不過跟很多人一樣,可以理解為何美麗島站光之蒼穹實至名歸,但是中央公園捷運站就讓我百思不解... 看一下新聞吧!
15 of the Most Beautiful Subway Stops in the World
I learned about this brief animation from a friend who read the news from the Internet. I'm sure that pretty much everyone has watched this video clip before, but for those who haven't - especially who are not Taiwanese, I hope you will enjoy it.
