Guitarist, songwriter, and Texas native Ryan Cabrera never planned on a career in music. His hobby turned into a passion after hearing Dave Matthews, causing him to turn his back on the noisy punk rock of his high-school band, Caine, and pick up an acoustic guitar for the newly minted Rubic's Groove. The group found popularity in the Dallas area, sharing stages with Cheap Trick, Ben Harper, and Third Eye Blind, before Cabrera's departure. Making the most of a block of studio time -- a birthday present from his brother -- the high-school dropout cut three original songs that impressed the engineer enough to offer the opportunity to do a full-length -- for free. Elm Street was a self-released success, selling out locally and garnering favorable reviews and a deluge of Internet orders. In 2001, Cabrera signed to Atlantic, which scheduled the long-player Take It All Away for release in 2004. Assisting behind the boards were Sabelle Breer and Curt Frasca (Avril Lavigne), Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams), and co-producer Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls). ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Today is your last day in Boston. I saw you off at the airport. I promised that I would not cry in front of you. When we hugged each other, I felt so sad that I forgot how to speak English. It’s a joy to know you. Thanks for your company and encouragement. I learned a lot from you. You are so telnet and considerate of everyone. I know that we will meet in Taiwan next year because we made a deal together.
Keeping in touch, chama!
Miss your AREPA, your smile, your joke, your special music and the moment in the Top of Hub.

"God bless you." Many Taiwanese hear this said by a foreigner after they sneeze and think, "Why on earth did he/she say that?" Why do we say this? Well, I have found two explanations about the origin of this phrase. The first is that Pope Gregory the Great introduced the phrase during a plague in the 6th century, in hopes that it would ward off the disease, or to wish the sneezer God's grace, because he or she would soon die. Another legend states that the phrase came about during the Middle Ages for much the same reason. This became a custom that continues today, regardless of what actually caused the person to sneeze. If someone says "God bless you" to you after you sneeze, an appropriate response is simply, " Thank you." If any reader finds a different explanation to why Westerners say "God bless you,"

趁著美國勞動節假期空檔,我去了趟紐約
行:搭chinatown Boston<-->NewYork Bus+NewYork Subway + 萬能雙腳
住:住chinatown
食:能省則省,大多在chinatown吃,在紐約市區則吃麥當勞最便宜(去visitor information center有許多 coupon)
衣:SOHO區的衣服看看就好
參觀的地方:
第一天:SOHO
第二天:Time Sq. / Metropolitan Museum Of Art / 5th Ave. / Central Park / Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises
第三天:Empire State Building / World Trade Center / Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum / The Phantom of the Opera
第四天:Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island
心得:除了Opera及Museum能吸引我之外,我並不喜歡紐約
最大的收獲是:搞懂怎麼搭地鐵
最大的憤怒是:最後一天帶著行李去看自由女神,因為禁止帶上船,又沒地方可以寄放,收票人員勾結當地小販,利益輸送,我們一行人三個行李花了USD20了事,寄放在小販那裡。
other:紐約的地鐵果然是百聞不如一見,悶熱又擁擠,過票機器故障率極高。外面的空氣污染嚴重。Opera的Christin唱得讓我有點失望,其他部分我非常喜歡。坐船around Manhattan Island看夜景花了兩個小時usd23,我只能說香港的比較美。逛第五大道還不錯,雖適逢衣鞋免稅週,其他稅是高的可以about 8.475%。
結論:紐約拜拜,我愛波士頓。

昨天和朋友的homefamily一起到Maine州的Old orchard Beach,可惜天空不做美,cloudy day,後來更下起小雨,一路上綿長海岸線盡收眼底,少了藍天白雲,讓我無法享受這一切的美景。這裡最有名的就是龍蝦海產,不過,我沒在這裡吃,因為此時不是盛產季節,再者,價值不斐也是原因之一。雖然不是很盡興,但是朋友的家人都很好,渡過開心的一天。

這一天發生的故事很精彩。
在我快要完成之際,網路斷線。
不過這是痛苦的記憶,不寫也罷!
