今年的H1-B太恐怖了，前几天还有一半名额呢，今天就可能已经用完了，一天3300个申请者! 分特丫分特!

 

 

1。walmart

这点做的不太仗义。平生头一回。买的时候就明知要退。。。 总共退了一个帐篷，两个顶篷，两个灯，和一个cooler。推着一大车的东东去退货，真是窘啊!! 

 

2.晒伤与晒黑

老汉皮肤太敏感，一晒就暴黑，汗! 玩的时候受到大家无数耻笑。可是完了以后老汉这一层黑皮却是没有一点晒伤，开始嘲笑没黑却晒成煮螃蟹色+水泡的哥们，暴汗!

 

3.老板

老板发biao了，写daily report! 叫你丫再TM玩!

 

4. 结算=预算

车费旅馆饭费汽油费club费BBQ费七七八八一加，每人大概140块钱。基本吻合120-150的预算

 

5. 中伊友好

伊朗虽是宗教国家，但其价值观，处事方式跟中国人还是挺吻合滴。石琳，欧米得，和娜莘都是中国人的好朋友

 

6. 永远的SPI

地图上有个SPI，心里也有个SPI，我的SPI就是友谊，欢笑，和平凡的快乐!

 

以前还写个游记啥的，现在没工夫写了

 

总结：人多，地方美，玩的好，吃的香，睡的足，爽的一腿。Couldn’t be better

 

该收心了，再不收心自己抽自己大嘴巴子

等不及明天出去玩了。。。。but hold on, here is the list that everybody need to bring but may not be aware:

 

1. Passport.  My firends went there last year and they were checked passport on their way back.

 

2. Combs, Slippers, toothbrushes, and other gadgets. The hotels don’t provide those, let alone camping places.

 

3. Cellphone charger. We don’t wanna get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dead cellphone …

 

4. Swimwear. Don’t forget where we are going!

 

5. A hat and a pair of sunglasses. We don’t wanna get burnt, nor blind.

 

OK, pack up! Hit the road!

最近院子里来了一个女孩大概20多岁，很热情，见面都打招呼还说你住哪，我到你那儿玩啊！

 

今天又见到了她，聊了一会儿天，才知道她是国内某杂技团的，来美国的LA和Orlando的Disney World演出，现在是空档期，来休斯敦找亲戚玩。我说你是玩什么杂技的？她说是顶碗，钢丝之类的东东。我说怎么不见你肌肉发达啊，呵呵。她说又不是当底座的，不用那么大力量

 

讲了很多趣事，其中一条是有一次她们团去LA演出半年，结果半年之后团里一对双胞胎姐妹一个嫁给了音响师，一个嫁给了灯光师，都留在了美国没回去。我说她们现在干嘛呢，还演杂技嘛？答曰不演了，都忙着离婚呢

两年呆在学校，真想快点重返工作的感觉
