下图是我们今天的航线。
我们绕了两个岛—— Spectacle Island 和 Cockatoo island. 还登上了后者喝了杯咖啡:
The best part of this sailing is to listen to the stories of these islands.
我们的教练还是个好导游,跟我们讲这些岛屿的历史,
Cockatoo island曾经是监狱,后来也是造船厂,现在成了艺术区,举办过双年展,还被列为世界遗产;
Spectacle island曾是政府存放军火弹药的地方,现在也废弃了,变成了皇家海军的遗址;
Kelly's bush具他说有一部分有核污染,房屋废弃,人也都搬走了,
我回来查资料没有提及这个,倒是有说这里曾是澳大利亚第一个Green Ban发生的地区,
居民为了保护不再开发这里的土地而举行了抗议。
我问Seb有谁是澳大利亚本地人啊?
他端着刚续好的啤酒,指着另外几桌,说,Mike是南非的,Jolly是印度的,Luis也是中国的你知道的,
嗯,好像这里还真没有!唉,澳洲人很懒的,
they drink too much, and always drink before going to work,
说完,他自己把手里的酒干了,然后起劲地让Chris也bottom up...
呵呵,喝酒时的德国人就是这副德行了,不管工作时装得多么正经。
尽管我才慢慢地喝完一杯,脸就红到脖子根了,
Seb他们已经开始八卦老板,连带开黄色玩笑了,还真没把我当外人。
Diverse team makes less culture shock, but I still have to be involved with them after work.
That's the essential part to relocate to Sydney.
It's good to know you in person!
这是他们对我说得最多也是我对他们反应最多的话。
刚入住这个家的时候发现一进门的杂物柜上还有个小黑板区域,房东拿粉笔在一边写了Welcome,另一边留了To do list给我。
顿时觉得好温暖好touching~
当晚回家我就将to do list更新了:
今天回来查了下家门口的信箱,果然有封厚厚的信!
上周四在轮渡上用手机申请的Opal card到啦!
至此,上周的to do list全部完成~
话说这个Opal card其实就是公交卡,可以刷地铁公车和轮渡,
每周刷够八次,之后的就能免费了。
对于我来说,其实就是买个安心,因为我上班的轮渡从来没人查票,
码头有设置刷卡的地方,但没有闸机口,全凭自觉,那么我就不自觉了...
第一天上班时还跟Drew确认在哪里买票,
他上船时说我等会下船带你看,结果下船了我再问他,
他就半捂着嘴说,我一年半来从没刷过,也没查我,
but you'd better to apply an opal card, just in case:)
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you, oh
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all, all of you, oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you...
晚上看见她在我的那条微博后留言,就打个电话问候一下。
才知道她正在医院,怀孕三个月的宝宝因停止发育,没有胎心而刚刚流掉。
她的语气并没有虚弱,甚至还调侃地问我你听到后会不会也觉得子宫疼...
I knew what she had been through..I was about to cry...
