110730 我們身邊的葡文

葡萄牙文，似乎離我們很遙遠，但是其實就在我們身邊。
今天在路上看到一台Suzuki Alto，好熟悉的字Alto，這個字其實是拉丁文，不只葡萄牙文，義大利文、西文都有這個字，意思是"高"，而英文也借用了這個字，只不過意思是歌劇的男高音，總是有點相關聯。
所以今天就可以學個拉丁文....Alto

110626 Museu de Teatro e Traje/劇場博物館,禮服博物館

在葡萄牙最後一個周末，當然要把握這最後的快樂星期天，找幾間免費博物館來走走。
來到位於Lumiar的劇場博物館和禮服博物館。兩個博物館都在同一個大花園裡面，這莊園似乎是以前葡萄牙某位國王的行宮。除了博物館還有占地龐大的公園。是個很適合發呆的地方。

 劇場博物館

介紹各式各樣的劇場相關的事物，有海報、戲服、偶戲、劇院模型...等，相關產覽。而院子裡有幾尊怪異的模型，造型詭異，很像是小時候聽到的童話故事中壞人的角色，這些人物配合著這人煙稀少的老舊博物館，有種雞皮疙瘩都快跑出來的感覺。毛毛的。

110728 我家經濟小館

今天"介紹"這間熱炒店，我用介紹而非"推薦"是有原因的，五年前真的是大推這間店，生意太好，每年都擴大經營，店越作越大，裝潢越來越好，東西也就越來越貴，如果說品質可以維持，這也就算了，但是有些菜色真的是變差很多。
中午去用餐，兩個人吃點了三個菜，冬瓜封肉和韭黃牛肉都維持水準，但是號稱宜蘭空心菜怎麼比筷子還粗很多，找個服務生來問問。他竟然回說本來就是這樣，說真的我還真不知道空心菜會這麼粗還拿來賣的。頗為灰心，因為前一天我在麵攤吃的燙空心菜，要價NTD20，吃起來比較幼，虧"我家經濟小館"收我NTD100，卻給我這品質的空心菜，我管你是不是宜蘭的，空心菜就是要吃幼嫩的。那麼粗根本就是梗。
說完抱怨，說說好的，冬瓜封肉還是有水準演出。補充說明一下封肉的意思其實就是豬屁股肉，吃的時候腦袋最好不要有畫面比較容易下嚥。韭黃牛肉也炒得很夠味，值得推薦。
這間店會送熱茶、小菜一碟、水果，這是從開店就有的慣例，到現在還一直維持著，值得稱讚。
其實我家經濟小館很多菜色都挺不錯吃的，只不過他漲價漲很多，已經不再像以前一樣經濟了，雖然我抱怨空心菜很多，各位看官還是自己去試試看，口味還是自己吃了算，只看我的blog還是沒個準。

110630 Restaurante os Compadres, Last dinner in Portugal/最後的晚餐/último jantar em portugal

Today is my last day in Portugal. I went to Restaurante os Compadres which is near my home. Although it's close to my house, I have never had a dinner there before. It's a pity that I couldn't know it earilier because I just noticed it one month ago. Today, there were many clients in the restaurant. We had a great dinner that night.
I strongly recommend this restaurant. Because it's not for the tourists, it's for the local portuguese people. The price is acceptable to each one. The important thing is that the traditional Portuguese cuisine they provide was great and delicious. During the June, Snails are the main dish for Portuguese. Don't forget to taste it.

這一天是我待在葡萄牙的最後一晚，和兩位朋友吃了在葡萄牙最後的晚餐。一個月前我才注意到，我住的地方附近這間Restaurante os Compadres餐廳，生意很不錯，所以這一天就走路去。去過不得不說，真的是一間值得推薦的葡萄牙餐廳。提供道地的傳統葡萄牙菜，這個季節剛好是蝸牛的產季，我們還先點了盤來開胃。這一晚我們吃得很開心。

Hoje é última noite de min em Portugal. Fui ao Restaurante os Compadres que fica perto da minha casa com meus amigos. Embora o restaurante ficque perto da minha casa, nunca fui lá para provar antes. Era uma pena que soubesse mais cedo, porque já sei-o por um mês. Acho que seja um bom restaurante. Hoje dentro do restaurante havia muitos clientes. Nós provámos caracois e pratos tradicinais de Portugal. Todos nós tivemos uma boa noite.

110620 Restaurante no Porto/吃在Porto/Restaurante in Porto

I stayed in Porto for one night. Surely, I had to find something to eat. However, I didn't do any homework.(Surfing on internet for searching a good restaurant) Therefore, I just chose by my sense and nose.
Fortunately, I think all of them are good. One restaurant has higher C/P. Low price, good food. and the other provides a good local food. The last one is the cheapest. Over all, if you are travelling in Porto, you can enjoy a delicious food with a little money.

我待在Porto一晚，當然要找幾間不錯的餐廳。但是我不習慣做功課，所能依賴的就是我的直覺和鼻子。很幸運的，這些餐廳都很讚，值得推薦。一間有高C/P值，便宜好吃，另外一間提供道地的美食。最後一間是超便宜餐廳。總之，在Porto旅行，不需要花大錢就能享用美食。

Eu fiquei no Porto por uma noite. Claro! Precisei de procurar os alguns bons restaurantes. Mas normalmente, não costumava procurar uma informação de restaurante. Por isso, escolhei pelo um meu sentido e nariz. Afortuadamente, acho que todos os restaurantes sejam bons. Um tem um número alto de C/P. E no outro restaurante há a comida tradicional e local no Porto. E último é o mais barato. Sobre todos os, caso viaje no Porto, não precisem de gastar mais dinheiro para comidas.

Astronauta Restaurante
這餐廳的每日套餐只要5歐，含飲料和咖啡，價位相當於里斯本的美食街的水準。在這裡我們吃了燉豬肉和燉雞珍，很特別吧！葡萄牙人也是會吃內臟類的，所以此地的食物和亞洲相似度很高。這餐廳服務很好，價錢實惠，我很推薦。

110711 發動Clio RS/Start the engine of my Clio RS

After coming back to Taiwan, the first thing I had to do was to start the engine of my Clio RS which had stayed in the garage for 10 months. I spent a lot of time doing it.
First, I bought a electric line to connect with my another car, Peugeot 206. And I started the engine smoothly.
Afterwards, I drove the Clio to the repair store to replace with a new battery. The battery was a special specification. It's much smaller than those of other cars. The repairman recommended me that I could utilize the battery of Ford Focus which costed NTD2,200.
Meanwhile, I found the air-condition wasn't working. In Taiwan, nobody could drive without air-condition in Summer. Then, I had to drive back to Renault Retailer to repair it.
BTW, I went to a tire store to replace by 4 new tires. This moment, I don't have a job, so I only use a Taiwanese product, Maxxis MA-Z1. It's much cheaper than foreign brands but it still costs NTD8,800
When everything was almost done, the ceiling of Clio was falling. I don't know the reason. I went to a store recommended by cyber-friends. I spent NTD3,500 repairing it.
To buy a car is easier than to maintain a car. It's true. From now on, I haven't finished all of my jobs to repair my car. I've already spent around NTD17,000. Oh! My God!

回到台灣，為了要把塵封在車庫10個月的Clio RS再度復出，花了不少功夫。
首先去買了條NTD480的"救命線"，和另外一輛Peugeot 206電瓶並聯接上，這才將這輛車子發動。
就這樣開著剛發動的Clio膽戰心驚的朝向汽車材料行出發，因為只要熄火了，這車就沒辦法自己發動，換檔要很小心，不要熄火了。Clio的電瓶，可不是普通的電瓶，台灣很少車輛使用此一規格，因為引擎室空間小，又塞了顆2.0的引擎，老闆一看就說只有一顆可以用，他也只備料一顆，平常是給Ford Focus用的，今天給我用，要價NTD2200。

這時，我的冷氣根本不冷，要死了！台灣的夏天可是可以熱死人的，開回車廠2000塊錢把冷氣修好。

順便造訪熟識的輪胎行，這四條輪胎已經被這輛一噸重的車子整整壓了十個月，早就變形了。為了駕車的路感，換上四條新胎，這次換Maxxis MA-Z1，出國前一條1800，今天竟然要2200，一次四條8800就飛了。

歐洲的環保材質開始讓我吃到苦頭了，Clio RS的天花板竟然掉下來，網友介紹蘆洲躍馬，特地跑去，3500搞定。

為了 Clio，還沒修完就付出 將近一萬七，標準的買車容易養車真難。

110724 南雅夜市 麻油雞/Chicken with Sesame Oil in Nanya Night market

位於板橋的南雅夜市，是板橋最大的夜市，但是他並非外國人所熟知的觀光夜市，所以非常的在地化，在地化就是不怎麼乾淨，人擠人，但是生意非常好。原因是有三間最受遊客歡迎的店家，一是蚵仔之家的牡蠣料理，二是爆米花，三是今天要介紹的王記麻油雞。因為這三間的超人氣，造就南雅夜市絡繹不絕的人潮。
王記麻油雞。是我來南雅夜市最常造訪的小吃店。生意有多好，今天台北最高溫37度，晚上仍然不怕流鼻血來這裡吃麻油雞，我就是其中一個。到冬天寒流來襲，排隊排30分鐘也不希奇。
來隻雞腿110和乾麵20線要價NTD130，真過癮。

Nanya night marke is the biggest one in Banqiao dist. It's not so familiar with foreigners.However, it's very popular with locals. Because of three booths populares in it, there are crowds of people every night. They are  Oyster House, Popcorn, and Chicken with Sesame oil of Wang.
Today, I will introduce Chicken with sesame oil of Wang. Usually, we taste Chicken with sesame in Winter. Today, it's 37deg in Taipei. There is still a lot of people in the small booth. You can image how popular it is. I ordered one drumstick and a dry noodle. It costs NTD130. Really good!

Kindly Remind: Night market is not as clean as restaurant. To Asian visitors, I thought that it's not a problem to you. To European or Americans, if you had visited any night market in Bangkok or Sien Reap(Angkor), I think you know something about it. The night market in Taiwan is much cleaner than those two. Don't worry! Just go to enjoy Taiwanese Snack in any night market.

110725 單車熱退燒

回台灣後，又開始騎單車

GIANT R-3000

這輛單車是已經伴隨我19年，Giant R3000，當年要價NTD8800，現在聽起來可能不怎樣，但是他的鋼管車身的設計，現在可是稀有貨，現在你兩萬塊想買鋼管車，大概只有車架而已。正因為他的復古造型，和稀有性，有時候騎在路上，有時候還是會被路人投以注目的眼光。
回過頭來講單車熱，就因為這車子已經19歲了，在前些天騎車的時候，後輪的內外胎全都爆胎，只好牽車走三、四公里的路到熟識的Giant維修。老闆認識我很久，當年他開業第一個月我就跟他買車，也算幫助他在在我家這小鎮站穩腳步貢獻了一點心力。
看到車店裡零星的高單價的車款，和兩年前滿滿是車的盛況，簡直天差地別。老闆說單車熱退燒很多，騎車的人少，買車的更少，路上仍然會騎車的大概都是車齡都是十年以上的車友。那些一頭熱買高單價車的傢伙，很多車子都已經停在那一兩個月以上，甚至有兩年也沒動，只能留給蜘蛛結網。真想不透這些人買車的意義何在？就算別人有車，你就一定也要有單車嗎？台灣人似乎一直是這樣，看現在流行什麼，別人有，自己也要有，再加上媒體的推波助瀾，盲目的全民運動就這麼出現。有些人體力可能不怎樣，但裝備一個比一個好，全套車衣車褲墨鏡，試問你到底是有多專業？我向來都是短褲, t-shirt騎車，一身休閒裝扮，一樣是騎車，何必搞這麼累呢？
台灣人的一頭熱的習慣，我想民族性如此，改也改不了。不知道下一波又要流行什麼？

110707 鴉片粉圓Opium Fen-Yuan

鴉片粉圓，好吃程度我也不需要多作介紹。鴉片粉圓分店不少，但是總店卻比較少人知道。其實他也在致理商專附近，距離油庫口麵線也不遠，走路約五分鐘就可以到達。我吃這間店也吃了好些年，因為位在巷子裡，來店的顧客不會像西門町店那麼多，大概就一兩桌客人，不會有名店擁擠的困擾。來這我都點三圓加芋頭，三圓彈牙的口感的很好吃，芋頭很香濃。如果到板橋不要錯過了。

Opium Fen-Yuan is a delicious snack in Summer. As you know, opium is drugs. The owner use "Opium" as the name because if you have tasted this Fen-Yuan, you would be addictive like a drugster. Of course, there is no opium in it. Opium Fen-Yuan is also located in Banqiao dist., New Taipei City. And it's close to "Front of Fuel depot". I always have "3 Yuan" with taros. Very good!

Ópio Fen-Yuan é um snack delicioso na Verão. Como sabe-se, opium é uma droga. O chefe utiliza ópio como o nome de snack bar porque se você tinhasse provado o antes, você deve ir mais vez como o drogado. Certemente, dentro de Ópio Fen-Yuan não há ópio. Todos são naturais.  "Ópio Fen-Yuan" fica em Banqiao dist., New Taipei. É perto do  "frente de depósito de gasolina". Eu sempré provei "3 Yuan" com "Taros". Que delicioso!

110707 油庫口麵線,烤香腸

板橋致理商專附近的油庫口麵線，我想不用我多做介紹，北部的朋友大概都非常清楚，真的好吃。而且現在又有賣烤香腸，又香又彈牙，通常我都會一晚麵線一根香腸，配著吃。台灣小吃就是不需要米其林指南也會高朋滿座。

In Banqiao Dist., New Taipei city, there is a famous snack house which is famous with thin noodles. The name is "Front of fuel depot" because it was close to a fuel depot before. They provide Oyster Thin Noodles, Chitterling Thin Noodles and Oyster Chitterling Thin Noodles. Undoubtedly, most of people living in north of Taipei are familiar with it. When I getting there, I always has a Chitterling Thin Noodles and another sausage which is also delicious. In taiwan, we have a lot of these kind of snack house. Of course, the environment is not as clean as restaurant. As well, Michelin won't be interested in it. However, it's the traditional food in Taiwan. When visiting Taiwan, don't miss tasting it.

Em Banqiao dist., Nova Taipei cidade, há um Snack Bar que é famoso por causa de massa fina. Chama-se "frente de depósito de gasolina" porque ficava perto do depósito de gasolina antes. Eles têm massa fina de ostra, massa fina de intestino, e mistura. Acho que a maioria da pessoas no Taiwan de Norte conhecam este Snack Bar. Quando visitava lá, gostava de massa fina de intestino e um chouriço que também é delicioso. Em Taiwan, temos muito Snack bars. Claro, não é possível que haja o ambiente mais limpo do restaurante. E Michelin não fica interessante com else. No entanto, todas comidas de snack bar são comidas tradicionais em Taiwan.  Quando visitar Taiwan, é priciso provar.

First, request what you want from waitresses. You will get this cards.

 Oysters Thin Noodles

A sausage

 Chitterling Thin Noodles

PS.用餐環境，畢竟只是小吃攤，乾淨程度就不要太計較了。

110719 New toy Motorola Milestone 2

I had been interested in Motorola milestone when it was announced. When I stayed in Portugal, Motorola announced a new Milestone. It's what I have now. Motorola Milestone 2

Why do I choose an Android Smart Phone?

After coming back to Taiwan, I started to survey a new smart phone instead of TWM T1 which I am using. I focused on cellphones with Android 2.2 above. Because I need a hotspot share function. Apple iPhone didn't announced this function officially in Taiwan. I know that in America some operation company provide an iPhone with hotspot. But I am in Taiwan. I cannot get it. Another solution is JailBreak. I don't want JB. Therefore, I chose Android. 

Why do I choose Motorola Milestone 2?

I bought it from Sunfar 3C where it's holding a promotion activity today. This phone costs NTD9,999 (around EUR250) with a Motorola Universal Portable Power Pack. It's really profitable. The phone was built 8g rom and  the package includeed extra 8G sd card. I think it's really enough. The QWERTY keypad can help me keyin faster.

110709 Nespresso Pixíe 220v/110v

在葡萄牙的日子，養成了我喝咖啡的不良習慣，而且喝很重，從一開始不愛，到現在一天好幾杯。回到台灣，沒有好咖啡的日子一定會很難過。所以特地從葡萄牙扛了一台Nespresso Pixíe。
這機型當然是220v的，所以回到台灣還要從冷氣借電過來用。雖然有點麻煩，不過自己動手，五金行買材料，台幣65搞定。
Nespresso Pixíe是2011年的新機型，台灣沒得買，大概又要等兩年後。修改了幾處Citiz的缺點，而且有些我認為是非常重要的缺點。
PS. 雀巢公司已經取回Nespresso代理權，自行銷售，可以到各大百貨購買了，Pixie也有販售。

1. 杯架可以摺疊，大一點的杯子不必再用手支撐，斜著角度去接咖啡
2. 自動關機，這咖啡機可是非常耗電的，就算進入待機也是會耗電，多了自動關機功能

補充一下價格，我只買149歐，還可以退稅。至於那木製的咖啡保存盒子，我也是順便入手42歐，同樣提供退稅服務。咖啡膠囊十顆3.4-3.9歐(不可退稅)，想到台灣代理商，唉！不過誰叫我回台灣了呢！

置杯架可以收起來，放馬克杯也沒問題

 膠囊會有三個孔

 外包裝

在歐洲Nespresso會掛雙品牌銷售，但是機器都是從同一個瑞士生產的。以我這台為例，一樣是專賣店購買，我這台掛Delonghi(義大利家電品牌，咖啡機同樣地很受歡迎)，另外我還看到KRUPS，但是會以顏色作區隔。

110620 西葡大暴走 Day7 Vila do Corde->Porto Airport(還車)->Porto

I drove to Porto airport in the morning. I spent some time to drop the car because a lot of people stayed in line. Meanwhile, many people were keeping looking at us. All of them were white people. Maybe they feel strange that an Asian could rent a car for a trip. I recommended that when you travel in Europe or America, you can rent a car. In the future, they will think that it is normal that an Asian rents a car for travelling. And they don't feel strange anymore.

Originally, I planned to purchase 1 day pass. But the staff of metro told me that it was only sold in turismo. I had no other choice and just went back to airport. 

I went to the downtown of Porto by metro. Today, I would stay in AWA Porto Hotel Santo Andre. The staff is an old madam. She doesn't speak English. But I can speak portuguese. She told me much useful information. She is really nice.

Regarding to the room of hotel. I have to say that it's not very clean but I can accept. Especially, the bathroom was plugged up by hairs. However, I still recommend you to stay there because of the acceptable price and the atmosphere of 20s & 30s in Porto. The sunshine could get into the room. If you have time, spend a few hours staying in the balcony to see the seagulls and pigeons which are fighting. Next time, I will stay this hotel again.

一早開車到機場，花了一番功夫把車子還給Guerin租車公司。還車的時候超多人，大家都盯著我看，大概很少亞洲人會租車旅行。放眼望去全部都是白種人，連黑人也沒有，所以建議大家，以後來歐美，就勇敢的給他租車旅行，讓他們覺得亞洲人租車是常態，讓他們習以為常，見怪不怪。

原本來到機場的捷運站要買1day pass，沒想到站務員說只有遊客中心有販售，只好又回到機場買1 Day Pass。搭捷運到Porto市中心。今天住AWA Porto Hotel Santo Andre旅館。服務的是位老奶奶。英文不太好，但是人超級nice，告訴我一堆景點。

旅館房間說真的並不是很乾淨，尤其是淋浴間。還會積頭髮。但是我還是建議你來住這間旅館，因為他非常的在地化，你可以體會20,30年代Porto的旅館風格，房間陽光充足，如果有閒情逸致還可以在陽台發呆，看看海鷗和鴿子打架。下次我來我一定還是會住這。

De manhã, conduzi ao aeroporto do Porto. Gastei um pouco tempo para entregar o carro. Houve muitas pessoas que sempre olharam-nos. E todas as pessoas foram europeus e americanos. Talvez não haja muitos asiáticos que alugam o carro e parecem-se estranhos. Recomendo que quando asiáticos viajam na Europa ou América, podem alugar um carro para viagem. No futuro, europeus e américanos vão achar  normal que o asiático alugue um carro para viagem. Não ficam estranhos.

Inicialmente, queria comprar 1 Day pass na metro do aeroporto. Mas ele disse que só podia comprar no turismo. Era mal que tivéssemos de voltar para o aeroporto e comprar bilhetes. Nós fomos ao porto do metro. Primeiro, procurámos o hotel. hoje ficámos no AWA Porto Hotel Santo Andre. A senhora velha ficou lá. Ela não fala íglês. Mas eu posso falar português. Ela disse me muitas informações úteis. É muita simpática.

Honestamente, este hotel não é muito limpo. Especialmente, é casa de banho. Mas também recomendo ficar lá por causa de ambiente de 20s,30s no Porto. A luz solar pode entrar o quarto. Podem ficar na varanda ao tempo livre e olhar as gaivotas e pombos que estão a batalhar. 

110619 西葡大暴走 Day6 Bragança->Murça->Vila Real->Régua(Alto Douro)->Guimarães->Braga->The Style Outlet

原本計畫一早在Brangança市區閒晃，但是我也不清Bragança有什麼景點，打電話給朋友，他還再睡覺，想問也問不到。既然這樣，就開車朝Porto方向前進。
