AWESOME Wisp skiing trip (02/20-22)
2009年的冬天去滑雪囉!在Maryland最西邊接West Virginia的Wisp Resort! 是BME Master student的旅行。小木屋2421號，落地窗前就是美麗的湖。結冰的大湖。
第一天，因為Pauline, Nimmy, Lu, Russell, Tracy,Meng ... Beginner level的大伙，全都選了ski，我就跟她們一起take lessons。剛開始真是好不上手(腳)，一路控制不住方向的往下衝，唯一的是跟教練學會了摔倒如何爬起來，還有就是不停用螃蟹螃蟹走路法龜速移動著身體到小低矮坡的坡頂，再忽溜溜地往下滑。到了下午3點，TJensin看不下去，就來給我們提點指導，示範90度轉彎減速。我也拉拔著蘿蔔... 喔不是拉拔鼓舞著自己，上了bunny hill。(Belly Flop;有"magic carpet"(輸送帶)拉著我們上兔子坡;但還不是纜車的等級) 在較為陡的山上，不停不停地以各種姿勢摔跤。:p很多次自己用很醜，但是有用的姿勢爬起來，很多次讓TJ拉起來，很多次把棒棒(Poles)弄掉，然後撿不回來。還有時候會不慎倒退嚕，呼，倒退嚕。傍晚七點的時候，我移動著螃蟹步想要到magic carpet搭乘處，結果竟然螃蟹步也不聽話，也許是我累了，我又撲嚕撲嚕的跌倒了，就這樣結束了一天。小木屋溫煦的大壁爐和食物，讓我十點就不支睡著，睡得香又甜，連 Cranium和Mafia都不玩了。(叫也叫不起來)
第二天，中午在湖上逛了一圈。結冰的湖好刺激喲! 雖然邊邊已經可以聽見crack的聲音，中間的冰層還是很厚的，有人在ice fishing。 於是一群人就開心的在湖上奔跑跳，丟擲雪球，snow angel(躺在冰上大力划動手腳)，拍照。我們出發去下午1-5點的ski行程。今天我還是ski，厲害的振新TracyPauline要試試snow board。下雪了，雪花還伴隨著大風，積雪很厚，很適合滑雪。很神奇，剛開始幾次還是大摔跤，有一次還翻了一圈。過了幾次竟然可以控制方向，幾乎可以帥氣90度刷地一聲停好了!兩天來的最佳夥伴就是小璐，要是沒有他跟我一起 struggle(我們可能是伙伴中經驗值~0的唯一兩隻)，我可能不會有堅持跟毅力學習。還有可愛的振新老師，傳授技巧之外還要精神鼓勵，在我划不上輸送帶的時候推著我前進。Pauline和Tracy的snow boarding也超有進境的，看起來非常酷炫 ^____^*
晚上在Accident小鎮，吃了Annie's country food，牆上寫著"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get" 我們挑著語病，說是要wanting what you "got"才對。吃飽了，風雪變的更大，冒著壯觀的雪，需要車尾燈都亮起來，在迷茫中前進。司機很穩。:)載著我們安全抵達Baltimore。
一次的旅行真的要感謝很多人。照片需補上。

Prime Rib 上好肉
It's Baltimore Restaurant Week!
Last Friday, We got to explore one of the fancy restaurants "Prime Rib" in Baltimore with 50% off!
Our table was reserved at 9:30pm due to the popularity.
The bar area, the band, and the more-than-half-hour waiting surprised me. It came across as a Chinese restaurant because people were sitting in round table and talking loud!
There were Eleen, Renee, Pauline, Lu, me + Bryce, Clifford, Alan, 穎俊 at the spot. And we all ordered "Prime Rib"-- which I supposed is their featured dish! Although I wasn't really a fan of steak -- it only appeared as a large chunk of meat to me, it was pretty decent. And it's not so luxurious when it only happen once a year. I ordered red wine as well. The red wine made the meal even more tastier, so as the mashed potato and spinach. And best of all, it kept me in a better mood. The post-drink ecstasy lasted almost the entire Saturday. :p I guess I should get wine regularly from now.
