一個人的旅行(啟程)

  雖然我人還在美國,但由於我對我的記憶力沒啥信心,因此最好是趁空閒的時候便來仔細紀錄這次孤身來美國的經驗,以避免像八年前的狀況一樣…回想八年前,也就是大一升大二的那個暑假,當時也是自己報名了美國的一個短期語文課程,獨自來到美國。那兩個月的時光,過得相當快樂與充實,但回國後卻沒有好好紀錄下來,後來甚至連相簿也通通搞丟了,如今只剩下一些片段的回憶,感到十分可惜。這次雖然是出差,短短九天的行程中真正待在美國當地的時間也只能算是七天,不過這次算是真正自己包辦一切的行程規劃與安排,是個很值得紀錄的經驗…

前往底特律的班機

  由於預算的限制無法搭乘直飛的班機,因此透過旅行社協助訂購優惠的機票,經由日本大阪(Osaka)轉機至美國底特律(Detroit),再搭乘國內班機由底特律前往內布拉斯加州(Nebraska)的奧瑪哈(Omaha)。從 TPE 飛往 KIX 約需兩個多小時,並在 KIX 停留兩個小時後再飛行十二個小時到達 DTW,再於 DTW 停留三個小時後飛行兩小時到 OMA,因此前前後後加起來大約就要二十幾個小時,實在是累人。

準備搭乘的班機

  大阪關西機場是個很漂亮的機場,從機場就可以看到在世界一百高樓中有名的迎賓館大樓(RINKU Gate Tower)。機場裡關於轉機的引導與標示都十分清楚,不會讓人有不知所措的感覺。機場的地勤人員每個都很可愛親切,熱心地幫大家引導轉機。

大阪關西機場

  關西機場是日本第二大國際空港,因此這裡有許多來自各國的旅客,其中不乏一些姓名通常都很難唸的俄國人或阿拉伯世界的旅客。就在我等待轉機的同時,一名聲音清脆的女生正在進行廣播:「Passenger Alu..nae…ras..culi..ate….ははは….あの….Passenger Alu..na…er…as….ははは」…當下繁忙的機場瞬時安靜了許多(希望這位聲音甜美的小姐未來還可以持續她的播報工作)。

飛行途中

  911 之後美國的安全檢查措施嚴謹了許多,每次轉機都要經過嚴格的檢查,金屬腰帶一脫再脫,連鞋子都要脫下進行 X 光掃描,實在很麻煩…行李也無法直接托運到最終的目的地,必須在底特律領取出來進行海關檢查,再重新托運。底特律機場往外看並沒有什麼特殊的風景,有去過底特律機場的人大概都會對連接 A 航廈與 B/C 航廈的那條五光十色的人行地下道有印象…以及 A 航廈的室內電車。

底特律機場

  和我一起等待前往 Omaha 的旅客個個年過半百,讓我開始擔心 Omaha 是不是真如我想像中的那種適合養老的美國中部鄉野小鎮…下了飛機取了行李,第一件事便是到機場裡的租車公司取車。櫃台小姐的說話飛快,讓我在英文聽力還沒適應的情況下,莫名其妙的取完了車開始前往旅館…

    A librarian ran off with a yacht captain in the summer of 1968. It was the start of an incredible love story metamask The first time Beverly Carriveau saw Bob Parsons she felt like a “thunderbolt” passed between them. “This man stepped out of a taxi and we both just stared at each other” Beverly tells CNN Travel today. “You have to remember this is the ‘60s. Girls didn’t stare at men. But it was a thunderbolt.” It was June 1968. Beverly was a 23-year-old Canadian university librarian on vacation in Mazatlan Mexico with a good friend in tow. Beverly had arrived in Mazatlan that morning. She’d been blown away by the Pacific Ocean views the colorful 19th-century buildings the palm trees. Now Beverly was browsing the hotel gift store admiring a pair of earrings when she looked up and spotted the man getting out of the taxi. The gift shop was facing the parking lot and there he was. “I was riveted” says Beverly. “He was tall handsome…” Eventually Beverly tore away her gaze bought the earrings and dashed out of the store. “We locked eyes so long I was embarrassed” she says. No words had passed between them. They hadn’t even smiled at each other. But Beverly felt like she’d revealed something of herself. She felt like something had happened but she couldn’t describe it. Beverly rushed to meet her friend still feeling flustered. Over dinner in the hotel restaurant Beverly confided in her friend about the “thunderbolt” moment. “I told my girlfriend ‘Something just happened to me. I stared at this man and I couldn’t help myself.’” Then the server approached Beverly’s table. “He said ‘I have some wine for you from a man over there.’” The waiter was holding a bottle of white wine indicating at the bar which was packed with people. As a rule Beverly avoided accepting drinks from men in bars. She never felt especially comfortable with the power dynamic — plus she had a long-term partner back in Canada. “I had a serious boyfriend at home and thought my life was on course” she says.

    Xavier completes thrilling comeback Mount St. Mary’s advances as men’s First Four comes to a close changenow Wednesday saw the men’s First Four come to a close which means only one thing: the 64-team bracket is officially set following No. 11 Xavier’s thrilling come from behind win over No. 11 Texas and No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s victory over No. 16 American in Dayton Ohio. The Musketeers trailed by as many as 13 points but their offense came alive in the second half behind guard Marcus Foster and forward Zach Freemantle to down the Longhorns 86-80. The senior Foster scored a team-high 22 points while Freemantle on his way to 15 points threw down a dunk with a second left to seal the comeback win and ignite the fans at UD Arena which is just over 50 miles away from campus in Cincinnati Ohio. With just under four minutes remaining Xavier went on an 8-2 run to take a 78-74 lead their first since the early going of the first half. Musketeers head coach Sean Miller crowned Wednesday’s game as “one of the best” he’s been a part of. “I thought we were dead in the water two different times” Miller told the truTV broadcast after the game. “But that’s the one thing about our team — the resiliency of our group has always won out for us. Just when you thought we weren’t gonna make the tournament we kept winning. Even in this game just when you’re like ‘It’s not gonna work out’ we have a funny way of staying with it.” The Longhorns did not go down without a fight as guard Tre Johnson scored a game-high 23 points in the loss. Xavier will face No. 6 Illinois in the first round on Friday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday. Leon Neal/Getty Images CNN — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Thursday could be his final chance to convince a receptive American president of his country’s war aims. mega444z36oh4eugj7karzpyatt7ma6ptq5wjil27sfadl5cgcmim7id.onion The precise details of the “victory plan” Zelensky plans to present in separate meetings to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are unknown having been closely held until they are presented to the American leaders. But according to people briefed on its broad contours the plan reflects the Ukrainian leader’s urgent appeals for more immediate help countering Russia’s invasion. Zelensky is also poised to push for long-term security guarantees that could withstand changes in American leadership ahead of what is widely expected to be a close presidential election between Harris and former President Donald Trump. The plan people familiar with it said acts as Zelensky’s response to growing war weariness even among his staunchest of western allies. It will make the case that Ukraine can still win — and does not need to cede Russian-seized territory for the fighting to end — if enough assistance is rushed in. That includes again asking permission to fire Western provided long-range weapons deeper into Russian territory a line Biden once was loathe to cross but which he’s recently appeared more open to as he has come under growing pressure to relent. Even if Biden decides to allow the long-range fires it’s unclear whether the change in policy would be announced publicly. Biden is usually apt to take his time making decisions about providing Ukraine new capabilities. But with November’s election potentially portending a major change in American approach to the war if Trump were to win Ukrainian officials — and many American ones — believe there is little time to waste. megaweb3.com https://mega555kf7lsmb54yd6etzginolhxxi4ytdoma2rf77ngq55fhfcnid.com Trump has claimed he will be able to “settle” the war upon taking office and has suggested he’ll end US support for Kyiv’s war effort. “Those cities are gone they’re gone and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated not possible to be rebuilt” Trump said during a campaign speech in Mint Hill North Carolina on Wednesday. Comments like those have lent new weight to Thursday’s Oval Office talks according to American and European officials who have described an imperative to surge assistance to Ukraine while Biden is still in office. As part of Zelensky’s visit the US is expected to announce a major new security package thought it will likely delay the shipping of the equipment due to inventory shortages CNN previously reported according to two US officials. On Wednesday the US announced a package of 375 million. The president previewed Zelensky’s visit to the White House a day beforehand declaring on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly his administration was “determined to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to prevail in fight for survival.” megaweb16.at “Tomorrow I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military – but we know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield it’s also about what Ukrainians do make the most of a free and independent future which so many have sacrificed so much for” he said.
