A wall in the Birchview B&B

I started couch surfing since I was in New Foundland, n hitch hiking as well, because there is simply no public traffic, and expensive and full accomodation, and I have a travel mate.

At the end because of Newfoundlanders' generosity, I find hitch hike andcouch surfing very safe, and make the trip more fun n special.

I will not try hitch hike myself, I know the risk. 

行山

anne-marie, my new foundland travel mate and I went hiking in the national park called Gros Morne (meaning big mountain). Gros Morne comprises of many different mountains, and we chose this 4 hours hike trail called Green Garden.

the destination is a beautiful rocky beach with steep cliffs. Jelly fishes, sea gulls, shell animals and beautiful stones around. It was supposed to be another hitch hike trip to go to the starting point of the Green Garden, but a friend of our last couch surfing host is around there, so...we ended up hike with him again, with his car..! We really have to be grateful to his generosity, and we spent a super funny day together, at the end finding out we are all scorpio.

大快朵頤

new foundland is a fish island, cod, lobster, scallops, oysters, salmon are all local gourmet. japanese people are smart, they will come all the way to buy mackerel and caplin (small fishes where whales love most).

After cousulting few local people, I bought a fresh local lobster at supermarket. the stall keeper is a friendly blue eyed man, when asked what is the best way to cook them, he said, just steam or boil it with some salt.

And so I tasted my best ever lobster! No garlic butter, no lemon, no cheese, no chicken stock, just salt and water. I just can't be a vegetarian...

"have you brought snacks? no? then i will eat my fingers"

a 6 year old kid said this to his mum playfully, and pretending to eat his own fingers, when they entered the coffee house. some replies from his mum, some boylaughs. i was thinking he is a spoiled child. after a while, i think it over, i found him not only not a spoiled kid, but a bright kid. for he has already solving his own problem, no snack->disappointed->blame parents->yell/cry didnot happen on him, he accepted and thought of alternative solution

1 St John's 海灣

想起大東山

這是New Foundland的Signal Hill，是接收歐洲橫跨大西洋的首個電報的地方，建築物對我而言並無特別，但登上這小山眺望首府St. John's的風景及大貨輪悠悠駛出狹窄的海灣，極別緻，也想起行大東山和那次野餐的美好時光。

吃力

dumplings again, but I posted it again because I made my own pastry this time after finding pre-made "skin" out of stock. The result is irregular-shape-dumplings, and time consuming. It is interesting to start something from zero, but I will not be interested to do it any more hehe

女人的工作間

I work in a coffee house in New foundland, in exchange for free house and meals. The house , the coffee house are all occupied by women, from 16 year-old to 60 year-old staffs and housemates. 

Women at work of such a big age difference, the main feeling I have is,  the working envoronment is very polite, no swear words, many "excuse-me" and "thanks", at the same time, everyone trys to show others she is working hard...a very typical female mindset.  ( think of those days in kindergarten where every girl wants rabbit stamp in their report card)

It is funny to be one of them, doing no matter big or small things seriously, everything is tidy and neat ( you can see the tables covered with plastic ), but I miss the days where there are some men suggesting creative, bizzare, dumb or funny ideas too.

不能遊行

it was a pity for not able to join the protest, I want to walk for li wong yeung and journalist being taken away, but I feel so glad to see four hundred thousand people walking on the first day of CY's governance. 

news agencies around the world have reported this protest, president Hu has no way to escape hearing HK people's voice. Thanks for police, you took 1 question away, then triggered many people shouting out the same question.
