in TPE..

明天就是嶄新的四月份

這禮拜忙著為今年最後一次的出差做準備..

是下星期在boston的一個meeting

結束後會順道回silicon valley一趟, 處理簽證, 還有商討工作條件和待遇

現在正在機場lobby, 待會就要出發了, 這次的行程是美西美東&加東

預計從Toronto入境找朋友, 最後從SF出境回台灣

離開silicon valley近兩年, 這次重新考驗我企劃、簡報、交際和語言的能力
我要找回流利美國腔, 以及不疾不徐有問必答的說話態度
不服輸的個性, 準備一週後可以做到PERFECT

我要超越自己, 讓大家刮目相看, Yes, I DID IT !!

這次除了工作也要當作渡假, 好好整理對未來的規劃..

久違的美國, 終於要回去一趟了

我要和carrie一樣踩著高跟鞋在紐約逛大街

想念紐約戶外天堂central park的大草坪

想念gary's papaya的熱狗, lombardi's的紐約大pizza, 和有點貴卻好吃的ippudo拉麵

想念brooklyn bridge的無敵manhattan夜景

想念頂著寒風倒數的times square, 讓人沉淪的broadway

我要穿著在英國買的acupuncture

悠閒走在harvard bridge, 沿著charles river慢跑

恣意逛逛harvard square, 以及最愛的harvard coop, 還有熱鬧的quincy market

而四月正逄DC櫻花季, 我愛看花

我可以看到白宮美麗盛開的櫻花樹, 好美

所有的一切都很美麗

我真的很幸運, 我要繼續保持著, 珍惜

雖然過去兩年的英國生活很辛苦, 但還是有很多讓我懷念的事..

懷念悠閒的英國早晨, 悠哉放鬆的生活和現在很不一樣

懷念很多的新朋友, 包括阿拉伯和埃及朋友

懷念在cambridge騎腳踏車的感覺, 特別輕鬆

懷念第一次在英國開車, 感覺好妙的右駕一路奔馳, 好過癮啊!

懷念英國最好吃的fish and chips ~好好吃的魚

懷念課堂中的workshop, 即席上台報告後的掌聲很有成就感

總之靠自己handle一切, 征服英國種種的感覺真”爽”!

如今,

慢慢的, 開始找回對台灣的熟悉, 我喜歡這種感覺!!

我又有力量了!! keep going.........

夢に向かって頑張ります^^!!
