Waking up at 5 a.m. (because my snoring roommate), I had my breakfast and took the Luas to the Heuston train station.
之前就定好票了。螢幕裡面有我的名字，看到了嗎？
I had booked my train ticket Taiwan. See my name appearing on the screen?
如詩如話的田野風景
Picturesque pastoral scenery
Cork風和日麗，天色湛藍，只有幾朵白雲。
It was a sunny day in Cork! Blue sky and few clouds!
Cork有很多山坡。有件很殘忍的事情發生了，就是當晚沒地方睡。其實我訂了房間，但是訂房時間是八月，不是九月。雖然沒地方睡，我還是拖著27公斤的行李，爬上像這樣的山坡，到達山頂後，發現旅舍在山腰。累屎人！
There are many hills in Cork. One cruel thing happened to me - I had no place to stay at Cork that night. It's not that I didn't book a hostel. I did book one. The problem lied in the date. I booked a night for August instead of September. Not having a place to stay overnight, I still carried my 27kg luggage, climbing up a hill like this to the top and finding that the hostel was down at the middle of the hill. It was really really exhausting!
午餐就邊吃bruschetta，邊等我在輔大譯研所的同學Lillian和她的當地朋友Joe。
I had bruschetta for lunch while waiting for my friend Lillian and her local friend Joe (he is my friend now). Lillian is my classmate back in the GITIS.
等Lillian時跟家人用Facetime（巴士誤點15分鐘，Lillian當時可能在掐司機吧）
Facetime with my family while waiting for Lillian. (She was probably choking the driver to death for being late for 15 minutes.)
這支啤酒超棒，很像咖啡，有明顯的焦糖味。
The stout was really good! It tasted just like coffee, with noticeable caramel flavor!
Lillian戴面具，一直大喊，說自己頭太大。這些面具是要給舞者在夏至戴的。
Lillian wore masks. She kept shouting that her head was too big for the mask!! lol These masks were made for dancers to wear on the summer solstice.
Stunning views on our way to the English Market.
English Market是歐洲前三大的肉品市場，於英國統治時期開始營業。
The English Market is one of the biggest meat markets in Europe. It is founded during the English reign.
薑黃本尊！我家煮飯會加薑黃粉，這樣飯就會有漂亮的黃色，還有甜甜的香味。
This is turmeric!!! Our family add some tumeric powder when cooking rice to give rice beautiful yellow and sweet smell.
多虧Lillian，終於有人可以幫我拍照了。
Thanks to Lillian, I had some one take photo for me.
農產豐富
A lot of produce.
還找到枸杞。
I even found Goji!
醜魚
Ugly fish
Cork奶油博物館。Cork以前是奶油出口大城市。
The Cork Butter Museum. Cork used to be a big butter exporter back in the days.
輔大中美堂！！！看到差點哭出來，好想家啊！
The auditorium in FJU. I almost cried on seeing this building!!! It reminds me of my home!
其實當時已經快晚上八點了。我們去Joe的家過夜和吃晚餐。Joe在一半的小花園教Lillian打hurling。
Actually, it's almost 8 p.m. We went to Joe's home for a stay and had dinner. Joe was teaching LIllian to play hurling in his little half garden.
溫暖的火爐。
Nice fire!
晚餐吃辛拉麵還有水餃，是我在愛爾蘭最棒的一餐。
We had korean instant noodles and dumplings for dinner!! The best dinner I've had in Ireland.
