現在最熱門的新聞是大陸踩線團，到那裡都可以報一下，我也來個土城踩線行，探探從中和騎到土城工業區到底多遠，究竟能不能騎車去上班。
星期天早上，原本想要早點出發，不過前一天晚上在 MSN 上傾聽同學的感情問題，搞到了快三點，一覺醒來已經九點多，吃個早餐，消化一下，約十點時，整裝完畢，準備出發。
去程的路線是走景平路，轉延吉街，沿著水溝一路騎到金城路，然後接中央路到土城工業區，轉中興路到河堤旁。
回程差不多，不過先轉進清水街，想說避開中央路的紅線燈和車子，不過似乎也沒少多少，接到延吉街時，這時居然有早市，不得不把速度減慢，還好路還算寬，不必下來牽車，之後就是原路從延吉街接到景平路回到家。
由於沒有碼錶，只能用手機計時，也不知道騎了多少里程，去程約五十分鐘，回程約四十分鐘，可能回程是緩下坡的關係，感覺有一段騎起來比較輕鬆，所以時間也比較短。
不過景平路的車太多，路況也不是很好，騎起來有點像玩命，真的要騎的話，可能還是要找到更好的替代道路才行。

Memory in Australia Working Holiday - first few days
剛到澳洲，很幸運地隔天 Backpacker 的老闆娘就問我要不要工作，有個澳洲大叔買了一塊地，要找人幫忙整理，我當然說好囉~~~~於是和另一個澳洲人一起去那幫忙，一天大概有一百元上下，澳洲大叔叫 Alan，人很好，第一天中午就帶我們去吃烤雞 。就是圖片這家 Chicken Treat，這家似乎都只開在郊區，不然就是有特殊活動的時侯會去擺攤。
和我一起工作的澳洲人叫 Micheal，他說他到處流浪，缺錢就打打工，已經過這樣的生活六七年了，很多澳洲人都喜歡這樣。這張照片就是 Micheal 和他認識沒多久的.....伴侶，德國人 Anna(我也不知道是什麼伴侶，幾個月後在澳洲北邊的 Broome 巧遇 Micheal，他說 Anna 已經往東走了)。
另一張照片是我住的 Backpacker 全景，在背包客棧上也算是小有名氣，毀譽參半的 Cheviot lodge，外觀看起來挺有氣氛的，不過裡面真的有點老舊。老實說，我去住的時侯覺得還可以，反正就是便宜的住宿，雖然破舊，但也不至於到爛，不過後來越來越多人去住，老闆娘似乎也沒管控人數，聽說品質差了很多 。
