一個人的旅行(Omaha)

  原本在網路上預定的車種為 Mazda 6 2.0,但這台車並沒有內建 GPS,因此租車公司後來補給了我一部 Hyundai 的 Santa Fe 2.7。老實說我對現代的車一點都不瞭解,原因是因為我對韓國車一向沒太大興趣,但既然有這樣的機會開開看韓國車也無妨。(後來後悔了…因為 2.7 開起來比我的 1.9 TDI 還無力…)
  
準備伴我橫跨五大州的 Santa Fe

  就在我前往旅館的路程中,順便逛了一圈 Downtown,才發現 Omaha 遠比我想像中的繁榮,不僅是高樓林立,也有許多大型展覽會場、博物館與知名飯店等…不過此時已經是傍晚,同時晚間還要趕緊處理這次出差至美國的公事,因此不能在市區迷路逗留太久,下榻旅館便驅車前往來到 Omaha 的主要目的地: Qwest Center,這個地方就像是台北世貿中心一樣,建築物相當宏偉,但這時沒太多的時間逗留觀光,正事辦完後便趕緊回到旅館休息,因為隔日一早仍有正事要辦。然而事實上,這天晚上根本睡不著,因為這時正是臺灣的白天…

繁榮的 Omaha

  睡不到三個小時,太陽起來了,吃了難吃的早餐後便趕緊再驅車到 Downtown 辦正事,這裡的路邊停車費 1 quater 就可以停一小時,一口氣投了 12 小時,因為今天要在 Downtown 一整天。quater 也就是 US $.25 ,是在美國最常用的硬幣,就有點像是臺灣的 10 元硬幣一樣。因此來到美國第一件事就是兌換一些 quater 以備不時之需,兌換 quater 方法有很多,最直接的方法當然是向商店或旅館的櫃台直接跟對方換,但我的方法是利用旅館的自動販賣機,塞進一美元的紙鈔後直接按退幣鍵,便會退給我 4 個 quater,快速又方便。

路邊停車

  Omaha 因為位於 Nebraska 與 Iowa 兩州邊界,又緊鄰密蘇里河,因此早期便是個繁榮的貿易站。同時這裡的特產是牛排與富豪,頂頂大名的股神華倫.巴菲特(Warren Buffet)便是在這裡出生,前陣子喧騰一時的巴菲特慈善午餐也曾回到 Omaha 吃牛排…巴菲特也因此被稱為 Oracle of Omaha(奧瑪哈賢者)。

Omaha 的街道

  中午抽空在市區逛了逛,Omaha 真是個美麗又乾淨的城市,而且幾乎是純白的城市,我所謂的純白指的是全是白人的城市,鮮少看到黃色或深色人種。路上的行人也很親切,見到人都會打招呼。正想著這個城市的治安應該非常良好的時候,便隨即看到路口停下了一輛警車,警察衝下車制服了路旁的一名奇怪男子並押上警車。看到這一幕的我馬上決定趕回 Qwest Center 繼續我的正事…

  這兩天其實沒啥時間好好逛逛 Omaha,也沒吃到著名的 Johnny’s Cafe。一來公事頗多,二來時差還沒調過來,往往到了傍晚就感到濃濃睡意,因此也無心在市區多作逗留。回到旅館後開始籌備隔天前往 Ames 的行程,然後強迫自己早點休息…

    I think that what you published was very logical. But, think
    about this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?

    I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., but suppose you added something that makes people want more?

    boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page
    and watch how they create post headlines to get viewers
    to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a
    little livelier.

    The potential of hydroxychloroquine to improve exercise tolerance and reduce fatigue in autoimmune disease patients could have significant implications for rehabilitation and physical therapy protocols. By enhancing physical capacity, buy hydroxychloroquine sulfate might contribute to more effective rehabilitation outcomes and improved quality of life for individuals with chronic autoimmune conditions.
