奶油咪咪的喵言貓語

遊記要一陣子才會寫完，但是現下滿心的感動可能會撐不到那時就忘記了，所以先寫在遊記完成前吧。

這次旅行回來，on top of the spectacular sightseeings and memories shared together, 特別覺得重穫新生。除了因為離開工作及實驗室的紛擾而帶來嶄新的心情以外，還有很多沒想過的因素。

這次深刻的體驗網路無國界。在豆導的住所叨擾時，我們很快就reconnect了，都是因為我們有update via reading each other's blog，甚至還有meet傳說中的Aurora呢。還有cheryl也和我一樣，在美洲的兩端，把blog開在 background，就為了聽張棟樑的音樂，當下覺得奇妙的連結這句話真的很貼切。也很感謝 yoyo & cheryl 的熱情招待，尤其是他們也忙著準備去黃石公園的事。

Also meetings with friends in Toronto, really make one appreciate good friends. Despite the time and distance, we still can talk to each other freely. The personal growth (I hope) observed between us is intriguing. Even exchanging the info about the types of books read was welcomed. I really appreicate the chance to be able to share part of your life experience, friends.

I also feel particularly refreshed this time because of reunion with Kid too. Listening to what happed with her in her life back home in Taiwan, and how she works in her computer field, I really learned to see things in different perspectives. Moreover, the traditional cultural values that I grew up with, came back to me again. "Working hard WILL pay off." is one of many values that I once hold true when I frist started my graduate school but I had doubted it ever since. But this trip with Kid reminds me and rechargs me to march on toward the goal confidently.It makes me believe again.

While traveling, I had to adopt to several necesary changes for relative simple, uncomplicated days. That experience offered serenity. Continuing to live off that simple life philosophy, I have become calmer and happier now. I pray for this mentality to last a long time.

All in all this trip is great and I can't wait for our next one to start.
最後要提醒自己隨時記得，尤其是天降大任的時候，小朋友的至理名言:
這一點小事是嚇不倒我的
