Antarctic Dreams!

,

I want to go to the Antarctic, starting from Ushuaia. So I definately will visit Argentina again! :yes: For Sure!
And I wanna make it for my graduation trip, after I finish my graduate school.
Write down here today for my future references.

加油!加油!

就叫“小麦”

开始盘算下一个地方。这次纯粹是为了旅行而出去走走,而没有那么向往的目的地。我蛮想再到南美玩一趟的。到那真正是玩。

Patagonia--Tierra Del Fuego--Ushuaia

On Dec.19th 2008, I was dropped down from plane to this beautiful big Island--Tierra del Fuego, means the "Land of Fire", started my explore of the southmost part of the Patagonia area, which is shared by Argentina and Chile. Ushuaia, the capital city of Tierra del Fuego province, is being considered the southernmost city in the world, so it's just hundreds of miles away from the Antarctica and it become interesting to experience the rapidly running cloud, changeable weather, and sunlight in the late night. It was a small city down to the mountain and facing the Beagle Channel, with 50k people living here.
The yellow Altos on the hill was the place I was staying, and from the window there's a nice view of the city.
It's early night at 11pm, and the sun came out again at 3am.

最后一篇关于BA, Arg 年尾, &新年

,

怎么说呢,It is so regret to find myself fall in love with here but I have to leave. I found fun and people to share with. When it's time to leave, the sad is fulfilled and so obviously, I know I've surrendered.

12月28日
Gaucho Party,看到River Plate球场。认识Mayer夫妇。得到代表好运的高乔人的Target!很好!晚上城中闲逛,发现周日商店全部关门 p:
Pampas,modern, well-organized大平原。

现在回到家里了,急需有人跟我分享在阿根廷的Passion,但没有人,所以开始干平日干活。坐在机场大巴回市中心,看着生活了一年多的城市,马上就到新年了,回到LA也好,即使无聊的生活我也能find很多fun,变着花样儿的使自己开心!
12月29日
退房,城市Walking citytour。从我住的地方到地图上的最东,然后南部,再Mayo广场转大半个圈到Florida st,再转回dazzler然后回机场走人。后背晒到暴。终于找到很象的Ushuaia马黛茶壶。机场的Mendoza石头。
回家后经历6小时时差。比如现在,我又犯困了。the only sign of Arg right now is the terrible sun burn on my face.
12月30日
到家。坐在机场大巴回市中心,看着生活了一年多的城市,这里也好,我也会继续快乐下去!

谁知道09年会发生什么呢?没准我又跑到阿根廷?没准我会爱上其它的地方。没准我毕业了会离开LA。谁知道呢?这一年,so unpredictable。

BA的无聊

, ,

12月27日
怎么说呢?我开始觉得一个人的无聊。比如一个人吃饭,就是吃,我从Order到全部finish半小时就搞定了。一个人逛Pub,一杯饮料15分钟就完事了,没有熟悉的朋友一起聊天,更没什么可开心的了。什么跟什么啊~
这里怎么这么热啊~又潮又热。头一印象我感觉这里是广州,然后看人觉得不是,看天气象家乡夏天最热时候的桑拿天。唉实在是热坏我了。下午5点之前最好不要出门。
What I met is actually far more than I was expecting here in this country. Before that i was probably more into the football game, or that's the main reason why i came here. But the patangonia region is really fantastic. For the capital, what can I say? It's just their capital. The US dollars is even not so common here~~ I don't really enjoy the pub night tonight. Seems like most of the time tonight i was just looking at my map. The most things I was talking to people is all about how to find my way. 如果有一天我在这种错综复杂的城市里也能不迷路了,肯定是迷路N次以后找到秘诀了。
让我抱怨几句吧:它这路怎么建的?地图上画的完全不是东南西北,按Atlantico Ocean来画,海画在最下边然后城市所有的路该怎么走向怎么走向,不按东南西北来画特别让人不适应,然后就是一条路拐N多个弯,折来折去又没有南北可以参考最后只能摸不着头脑先走两条街看看才能把地图和所在位置对上号。

唉,还有让我不爽的是,我可不喜欢吃西餐了,我用刀叉很熟练但是还没有到炉火纯青的地步。当然如果再加上只有一个人在吃饭一点点小失误就完全成了我一个人拙劣的表演。而且真的不好吃,还要很别扭的吃自己不喜欢的食物,找罪受呢?我住学校这几年用的最多的就是勺,几乎天天用而且每顿饭都是勺,我爱勺你们怎么不发明用勺可以解决的食物?你们定的规则然后我照做。我们也有我们的做法,我不爽的事下次别让我当罪受,没什么可享受的。

My sense of direction doesn't work as well as at the northern hemisphere.
怎么这么怪的一个城市啊~?车走不看人,人走不看灯。唉,其实有些地方大家像极了。这到底是个什么样的地方啊?这些移民换了个半球居住会有什么变化吗?比如,从英国移民到北美大陆的居民,思维习惯不一样的地方我们可以通过各种渠道了解很多,可是这里呢?我可以读到“南美的巴黎”,可是其实我觉得它像几个大城市的混合体,其中甚至包括洛杉矶。一些我认为很标准的美国加州脸跟你说“Could you talk slower”和他们满口地道的西班牙话。

热。不爽。找不到我喜欢的东西。
P.S.,河那面应该是东面。看地图更迷糊了。他应该把地图按东西南北来画,或者至少把文字规照指南针方向来标。
恩。going to Argentina? yes yes! Marrying an Argentinian? NoooOooooooo way! forget about that, I would rather marrying their football game!

回忆这几天 - Part 2

,

明天就离开Bariloche回BA了。这里太有意思了,在这里度过Christmas,同时赶上从全国各地来这做Graduation trip的年轻小孩儿。
12月24日
下午到Bariloche,住的地方两个blocks以外就是湖。这里跟la太不一样了,超市餐馆商业区都在走路范围内,旅游者走走路就是个City tour。也可以说这三个Patangonian城市都为方便旅游者而建,走啊走就成了。
圣诞夜。街上没有车没有人。商店全关门。开门的餐厅也寥寥无几。在Friends切牛排,红酒很醇,产自Mendoza.
这里太阳大。9点半天黑。
12月25日
也就是昨天。圣诞节一早City tour.看了3个极其幽静的湖。天气很好,一早没有风,圣诞节也没有什么游人,Louis说平时这里这里可多人,幸运,可以听到大自然的声音。
在两个湖的交界处,一片浅滩,颜色宝石绿清澈见底,最深处不到一米,如果有些小小游鱼那就是我梦中的仙境啊!这里是很完美,有它自己的美。
对阿根廷的Pizza彻底绝望!再也再也不点了。实在太难吃了!
下午沿着Nahuel Huapi转吧。闻到鱼腥味。超级自然寂静。没有任何杂物被丢弃在这里。感慨啊~我们的河。回家继续继续睡。晚上出门wandering转天准备漂流。
12月26日
一早开始漂流。开到110公里外,然后漂流7公里,2个半小时。好专业啊!全套装备加上严格的教和练。船长(显然这不是船)超级传统Look阿根廷男,长发卷发西班牙话。Staff,女,健康Look,个性比男人还男人。安全员,在前面划个小船专拣掉水里的人,曾一度想拉我下水,我不下待会自己在水里撒欢。摄影女。司机胖男。成员:两阿根廷小孩,其中一个好能侃。两Florida男,昨天从布市开到Bariloche,一路上补觉。等下水了,我才意识到啊~哇这不是Six Flag游乐园啊。接下来有几个姿势今后也适用:掉水里面向顺流避免喝水,手脚平伸方便别人拉,拉上船时超人姿势。

简单回忆一下这几天

, ,

Make a short list, each of them is a story.
12月16日:
1. 提前一小时十分钟才到机场,排队,被告知"You miss your plane!"囧!
2. 回家又回机场,晚上终于登上去MIA的飞机。。。转天到达Miami,在机场度14个小时后,终于上了去布市的飞机。我在la一度担心由于各种狗血事件频繁发生导致去不成,或者晚个两三天才到然后计划被完全打乱,以至转天我人坐在去布市的飞机上还不敢相信自己真的是飞去阿根廷的!
12月17日:
Miamimiamimiami...囧:bomb:
清晨,大清早,la time 夜里3点还不到,开始等。起飞前5小时登机信息才查的到。咖啡。逛。上网。Mia门口的广场,一堆小旗子飘啊飘的,看见蓝白的,蓝星星红白条的,就没找见我们那个大红旗,让我不爽!
晚上。我终于上飞机了。
12月18日:
清晨到。热。一只脚刚踏出机场就开始拍,南美,阿根廷,布宜诺斯艾利斯。
宾馆,洗澡,下午2点开始city tour。在La Boca街头演绎搞笑版tango。头一天在BA我戴着sunglasses才敢上街,上街后不敢过马路。这里行人跟本不看灯,红灯绿灯只要30米内没车就过。
徘徊在Florida street和人们互看。晚上tango show。一路上坐车里狂看普通布市阿根廷人。晚餐认识巴西美眉的哥伦比亚男。小牛极其美味。(这几日连续遇到巴西人,好感倍增。)
整个布市极少看到长发男,也没看到有人端着马黛茶壶。在Florida St.,极其crowed, 我穿着小拖鞋慢步走生怕滑倒出洋相。帅哥极多极多,怎么说呢,大都是西班牙或意大利人后裔,一百多年来住和长在南美,有欧洲血统和当地风土的同化。有但很少看到长相如阿根廷足球队那帮人,不知道他们是怎么把那十几个人拣出来的,哈哈。年轻美眉打扮非常时尚,没有胖子。
12月19日:
一早飞到Ushuaia。来之前就有人对我说这是他最喜欢的阿根廷城市,我期间特意留意了下。接我的绿色眼睛美眉,继承一个好听的希腊名字。
极少红绿灯,没有stop sign。行人过马路全凭张望!
宾馆View很好,下午原本想做city tour,但我前两天在机场折腾得很累,刚到布市又兴奋过头,转天再起个早五点,于是这个下午闹钟没把我拽起来,一个珍贵的下午就这么被我睡过去了。晚上被谈笑声吵醒,夜里11点人们还在吃饭。(其实是10点,转天闹时差笑话了)下雨了,好象还没有停的意思。
12月20日:
早晨发现和布市时差1小时。
小火车7公里。呵呵,在地球另一端的旅游景点,有中文的解说。开心~national park,森林和海洋在一起。软绵绵象踩在海绵上的沼泽,秃鹰野马野兔子。N多独特的真菌,植物,还有我捡的贝壳小石头。有一种小花,叫El Calafate,也是Patangonia地区一个城市的名字。有幸尝到它做的冰激凌。salmon fish,我的午餐。
下午sailing, beagle channel, 下雨。二楼的红衣大叔。Penguin Colony, sealions and sea birds islands. 阿根廷界比智利界更漂亮,真的。还有那个小水手,带我去了船长室,聊啊聊啊聊啊聊。
下了船雨更大了,我撑着小伞打算去监狱博物馆那里看看,关门了我也要找找看外面。真的关门了,我雨中爬坡回家啊。雨,小山坡,狗叫。周围是海和山。
一个准备接岗的男警帮我叫车送回宾馆,呵呵,我庆幸,幸亏没坚持自己溜达回去。11pm,由于下雨,天已经半黑了。
Everything got soak in Ushuaia...
啊,对了,这天早晨尝到马黛茶。
12月21日:
早晨的原定去Hiking,你干什么呢?
真不习惯西语键盘。
告别。觉得没待够,有遗憾,See ya next year? Front Desk的阿姨还有很象RW的小男生。
Ushuaia的木制机场和简陋航站楼。拍到空中的Ushuaia。飞去El Calafate, 到了就开始逛城。真的好小个城,很乡。按图索骥,照着Lonely planet上面的描述一家家找我要找的店。这里有最最难吃的Pizza,不得不记录一下,半张手擀式的pizza,最底层是ham,和pizza皮一样大的一整片。cheeze不是烤到melt上去的那种原始小碎末,而是大片大片特别厚的一层,像是直接slice贴在ham和番茄酱上面。煮过的软的red pepper,还有整颗整颗salty的绿橄榄,有核在里面。已经半凉,在我回家以后。
超市里的肠子区很smelly。combine咬上一口全是面还很咸的小面包。这里本来就是为方便去看冰川建起来的小城,很原始并且很旅游商业化。没什么特色食物。发现宾馆有无线,于是兴奋在天涯看贴到夜里3点。
12月22日:
冰川1。上午游船游过去,下午就在它跟前换着角度看。认识Veronica和Denver family.开出去一会儿的乡也挺好看的。湖的颜色很漂亮。
这里郊外的劲风,路两旁的树摇晃的厉害,车在平坦宽阔的公路上边开边画龙,风吹的!
晚餐简便,冰淇淋和优格,发现自己个西语大文盲。这天回家后便比较无聊还好有网可以用,有EV的歌。

12月23日:
冰川2。早晨看到郊外的彩虹。一天的船上游览。三条路线,三个冰川和无数的Iceberg。雨。我现在已经困了,明天飞去Bariloche。等下次再写。好不容易赶上有wireless的宾馆啊!
在船上。这是个双层私家游船,客人很多。在二层有个Capital Club,里面有很有趣的男女老少。在休闲中完成工作,怎么修炼起来的?另外挖掘一枚专业摄影气质男。我有点小雷。
晚上就是在downtown区逛啊逛,2个小时,对此小城区喜爱度很一般,但冰川实在震撼。这里的东西overpriced,和小村庄的落后形成鲜明反差。
12月24日:
要离开了,我开始期待Bariloche,我从心里喜欢有湖的地方。希望能给我带来好运。
