Lance's Going Away Party


Lance is relocating to Shanghai as president of BMS China. He is no longer living in Taipei. This party is to congratulate his promotion and let his friends to say good-bye to him. It's a potluck party. Every guest prepared one dish which Lance will miss most in China. Half of guests brought desserts to the party. Guess most of people think Lance likes sweets.
Many thanks to Vera who helped me to cook a very nice soup at Lance's kitchen. It tastes really good!!!
因為Lance高升為總裁,轉調到上海,我們一群朋友便在他家中辦聚會,和他道別,每個參加者都要準備一道菜,在Vera的全力協助下,我順利完成了下圖中美味的酸菜白肉鍋,真的好好喝喔!!























The world is really small!! Guess What?? I met my nephew Dyland's teacher at the party. Both Melissa and I like Dylan very much. He is such a cute little boy. (2 years and 9 months)
世界真是小小小,我居然在Party上遇到外甥倫倫的幼稚園老師Melissa,原來倫倫口中的 teacher Melissa竟和我的生活有了小小的交集

You can see from the photo that most of guests are girls!!
每次的聚會總是女多於男.....:-(
What a party!! Before we left, the host Lance gave us some food, desserts and alcohol!! What we took away is even more than we what brought to the party! Lance is a very generous and nice guy!! Too bad he is moving to Shanghai!
這真是個有吃又有"抓"的好聚會,由於Lance已經不住在這兒,所以每個參加的客人都分到了為數可觀的甜點,食物和酒, 比我們帶來的東西還多,大家忍不住想拍照存證以玆紀念,這個大方的主人會讓大家想念很久的!!!!

Soccer Game - Lazio vs. Atalanta





































I watched soccer games on TV a couple of times before. This is my very first time to see it in person. It's a very fun experience. People sat in the stadium were very into the game. Our group got other people's attention immediately when we walked into the stadium. They must be wondering why we showed up there....stupid tourists!!
這是我第一次觀看現場的足球賽, 我們買的球票位置非常好,每張66歐元,為了有效管制暴動,購買球票要有當地保人,而且是採記名式,進入會場時,更有嚴密的安全檢查,連罐裝飲料都不得攜入
雖然比賽的兩支隊伍不怎麼強, 座位只有四成滿,仍可清楚的感覺到義大利人瘋迷足球的熱情,比賽前,球迷會為支持的球隊高喊口號,唱隊歌,比賽時,更是會隨著賽事而有明顯的情緒起伏和尖叫,我和同事們都十分認真的觀察場上的比賽和觀眾席的反應,我們這群只懂"看熱鬧"的觀光客,和周圍人群顯的十分不協調
義大利足球賽和美國的棒球很不同,在美國看棒球的球迷,沒有很關心在場上的球賽,大家好像是去野餐,隨興的和四週人聊天,吃熱狗,喝啤酒, 義大利球賽的觀眾,非常專注的看比賽,連賣飲料的小販,都志不在賣東西,緊張時刻,就坐下來停止銷售,莫怪呼在重要賽事時,常有暴動發生,因為大家把輸贏看的很重要
