Sea World in Gold Coast 黃金海岸～海洋世界

當天晚上因為要準備一個演講，

所以今天沒有辦法痛快的玩，

在玩的過程中還一直在練習，

所以要排隊的活動盡量都不玩，

不過來到Sea World最讓我們難忘的就是海豚表演，

這是我這輩子看過最棒的海豚表演，

比之前看過的精采好幾倍！

強力推薦Sea World必來的行程。

Because I have a speech in Toastmasters tonight, so I can’t play with my whole heart, even I practice speech during playing. We plan to play more in the limit time, so we don’t have time to play the facilities need to wait in line. The most memoriable part in Sea World is Dolphin Show, and it’s much more amazing few times than before that I have watched in other places. It’s must come schedule in Sea World even in Gold Coast.

Glow-Worm in Nature Bridge, QLD 全世界最美的藍光蟲聖地

It’s Angie and Hei’s final night, so we try to took them to enjoy the most popular place in Gold Coast, Nature Bridge to see the Glow-Worm, some people said it look like a galaxy. I think it really looks beauty, but not good enough, because many people like to destroy it in no mean. The most of the problem is that people like to use flash to took a photo in a dark environment, but it will make the Glow-Worm feel scare then reduce the life. Even some people will try to touch them, and that’s the worst thing.

今天是Angie和阿禧在澳洲的最後一個晚上，所以我們想要帶他們去看看在黃金海岸最知名的觀光景點～藍光蟲，有一些人覺得在Nature Bridge 的藍光蟲看起來像銀河一樣，然而我覺得自己到現場去看了之後看起來雖然漂亮，但就覺得還不夠美，我想是因為有很多人不經意的去破壞這樣的自然生態，最主要的原因是許多人喜歡在昏暗的地方開閃光燈拍照，然而藍光蟲卻對於光非常的敏感，很容易會降低它們的壽命，甚至是死亡，然而我感覺最糟糕的是，現在竟然還有當地的小朋友試著去摸甚至是去把藍光蟲拔下來，而且屢勸不聽，真的是非常可惡。

2014 Happy New Year in Surfers Paradise 迎接新年

這是在澳洲第二次看跨年煙火，
去年是在西澳的Rockingham，
今年則是在澳洲最知名的旅遊勝地Gold Coast- Surfers Paradise，
黃金海岸擁有70公里的海岸線，
所以對於喜愛海洋的澳洲人說，
是個絕佳的度假勝地，
對於我來說，
是一個很棒的運動聖地，
因為黃金海岸的運動規劃得很不錯，
可以沿著海一邊欣賞一望無際的海岸線一邊跑步，
真的很棒！

40天一萬兩千公里的公路之旅，沒有doTERRA真的不行

天啊~美國聯邦政府無關安全性的部門幾乎全部關閉了，受聯邦政府管理的圖書館、博物館、公園、公家機關甚至連自由女神都關閉了，許多聯邦政府網頁也都無預警關閉，造成數萬人專程去看優美勝地和自由女神的訪客都失望了，接連下來美國旅遊業、餐飲業都會受到影響，當然最重要的是世界經濟！So sad.想不到美國也會這樣為了反對而反對，否決聯邦政府預算案，進而影響世界經濟，一直認為只有台灣的政府最愛玩為反對而反對的否決預算決定，雙方一直堅持自己的決定卻影響這麼多人，難得的景氣復甦又搞這招。

話說有趣的是，美國宣布部分聯邦政府關閉之時，我車子的輪胎也無預警的爆胎了，我原本還一直覺得新換的輪胎很安全，不會有爆胎的問題，至少會用的比舊輪胎還要久，結果用不到三個月就嚴重爆胎了，其他的輪胎用了一年多了，狀況都還不錯，都沒有爆胎之虞，反倒是我最放心的新輪胎出事了，當初為了省一點錢，換了便宜幾十元的輪胎，雖然一樣是新的，想不到卻這麼不耐用，真的是因小失大。

 

 

The Uluru in the sea in the Stanley, The Nut, it's also our favorite in Tasmania.

Yeah, enjoy the healthy breakfast Muesli, and we're ready to go to see the Uluru in the sea, The Nut in Stanley, locating in the northern west of Tasmania. The distance is 3.75Km and we took 90 minutes walk to finish. It's so beautiful, it's a must go place in Tasmania.

Big Penguin in Penguin and the beautiful Boat Barbour.

Yeah, we land Tasmania, then the first thing we need to do is shaking the phone with Hungry Jack's Apps. We got two free fried potato cakes to be our breakfast. After that we find a park to cook our lunch, but the gull seems hungry as well. It just stand at our front to see us to eat about a hour. After lunch, we go to a small town, Penguin, haha , it's so cute. There are so many different kinds unreal Penguin and owning over 2000 collection. By the way, there's a huge Penguin as their symbol. So sad that we can't see the real Penguin until September, but we still enjoy the cute place. An another interesting thing is there are two IGA just in next door. Why they need two place to sell the same stuff?

Moka cup is cute and it can make tasty coffee as well.

I saw many times of Moka cup and I always don't know what it can do and how to use it until I stay in Duncan's house I try to use it and I love it. It can make whole room full of the coffee smell and make the coffee taste good as well. When I realized how to use it,  and I think it's so funny. And I wondering want to get another one during travelling. Haha.

Go go Tasmania

Yeah, ready to go Tasmania by sprite of Tasmania, which is a huge ship. It's our first time to took a big ship, especially with our car. Because there are restrictions to bring dangerous stuff or flesh food to Tasmania, every one need to be checked and wait for a long time.

Another Lentil near Northcote

Wow,  Casa treat us to eat the Lentil near Northcote, it's a special restaurant, and we only need to pay what we think it worth. Last time we eat the Lentil near St. Kilda, we ate two dishes and two drinks and we only pay less than a drink price. Although we think it should worth more in Australia, we don't have much money to paid. This time we eat Lentil again, and it's all you can eat buffet.

It's beautiful place with lots of design, but we think we love Lentil St. Kilda more.

What I feel in Singapore

Why people would be exposed to the risk of injury, because they enter rich area? 

Enjoy the Toastmasters in Singapore. I really learn a lot from it. There are two great speaker for the workshop tonight. The first speak focus on the winner profile. Compare with the second speech, I think most of audience are really interesting in how to be a winner.

[273-273] Our first year in Australia everything is special for us.

It was a very special year. When we arrive in Australia, the custom didn't allow my wife to pass, because she changed the passport after lodged the working holiday. We were very worried in that time. We might come back to Taiwan directly, because we don't have correct visa. Luckily, the custom call few call that make make sure my wife's visa was OK. When we go out to see the airport, and we found it's in Melbourne not Perth.

Although we took the plane from Taiwan to Perth, we land in Melbourne because of the heavy fog.

[273-261] It should be easier to make a good memory

When I saw the Zoltan's blog and he just tell us the story about the traveling. I like the feeling. Even time fly, the record always can make us remind us the sweet memory. Maybe it's a little bit hard for me to be a habits. I will try it.

[273-244] CouchSurfing with David in Cook Park, Kargrah, Sydney. 在雪梨的沙發衝浪

When I try to find a CouchSurfing host in Sydney is very hard, especially in the busy time, VividSydney. However, we had stayed outside for few days, and we feel really cold. We prefer to find a place to stay. Then David accepted our request. We just visit David's place and saw the caravan park on the Cook Park. In a very beautiful place that can see the sun rise and sunset, only open the door. So we decide to stay with David and Monty, David's dog, in a bed. Yes, a bed. It's my wife first time to sleep with two men and a dog. Because we're in traveling, that's fine. Just have a shot.

[273-218] Samsung S3 & S4 在澳洲近期物價波動狀況

Samsung S4準備要發佈時，S3的價格在3C零售店JB-HIFI從原本的749直接砍到599，S3網路的價格從570掉到370，S4剛上市的網路價格從一開始的849, 到799, 749, 699，今天再看價格雖然還是699，但是有加送32G記憶卡，保護貼，皮套，跟免運費，S4也太慘了吧。 因為S3大幅掉價，變成一台性價比很高的1.4G四核心手機，需求量大增，價格從370, 390, 一直反彈到429, 很少看到價格會上漲的手機。 

另外限量出售的小米手機2S，擁有高通1.7G四核心，跟iPhone 5一模一樣的視網膜技術解析度，並有自己的作業系統MIUI，還有保時捷音響等級的Hi-Fi喇叭，價格卻不到320, 雖然小米2S只有四核心，但是效能卻超過Samsung S4的雙四核心手機，而且耗能更低，沒有過熱問題;但也因為性價比實在是太高了，造成970萬人搶購，卻只有30萬人買到手機，如果小米手機開始在實體通路販售，對於其他手機的價格一定有很大的打擊。

[273-196] 莫名眼睛有異物感和扳機指

今天原本也是很有精神的 但是洗完澡之後眼睛就突然開始痛了起來， 一直有異物在眼睛裡的感覺， 但是怎麼檢查都沒有東西， 想要用眼淚清除異物， 卻怎麼擠都沒什麼用， 只能一直閉著眼睛，舒緩一下，可是卻也因為如此，讓原本很有精神的我，也變得毫無生產力，而不得已休息。

另外右手中指和無名指出現了扳機指的症狀，睡一覺之後，就會變的無法伸直，我有幫人處理過這樣的問題，可惜我自己按不到，只好用其他的方式，想辦法改善這個問題。

[273-195] 整整懶惰一個月了 I'm so lazy for a month.

自己的壞習慣是總愛把事情留在等一下再做，
所以經常把事情忘了去做，
讓自己不斷地後悔，
又或者是心中一直想著~
等到達成什麼情況之下的時候再去做，
但通常只有兩種結局：

[273-165] Good thing and bad thing. 兩件事，一好一壞。

今天兩件事，一好一壞，好的是，今天採葡萄破了個人紀錄，七個小時採了三公噸的葡萄；壞的是，因為有些箱子的葡萄放太滿，底層的葡萄被壓壞了，因此被Fire。

Two things to talk today.  Good thing and bad thing, the good one was that I picked 3 tons of grape in 7 hours and break my personal record. The bad thing was that some of my box which put too much grape in it, so make some damage on the grape then I'm fired. So sad.

[273-164] 不知不覺也在黑黑農場一個月了 I have stayed in unhappy farm for a month.

好快喔~
日子似乎總是這樣的，
不管過的好不好，
轉眼間一下子就過去了，
剛開始覺得在黑心農場辛苦又賺不到什麼錢，
現在手上拿著薪水袋，
這樣負面的感覺漸漸地消失殆盡，
看著自己辛苦的成果，
不知不覺我竟然也採了將近20公噸的葡萄，
推起來可是很可觀的，
有些不能吃的葡萄在採的過程也被我砸在地上，
被我當垃圾的葡萄大約也有1噸了吧，
以前還很珍惜吃葡萄，
因為有很多營養，
尤其對女生更好，
現在還是喜歡吃葡萄，
但只要放超過兩天就覺得不新鮮直接丟了。
