也能弄個三明治新秀。而勇士放棄價格不高且可以控制到2011季末的 Kotchman 也很奇怪，雖然 Kotchman 沒有什麼長程火力，但他的防守比 LaRoche 好(參見下圖, John Wright's "Braves Chart of the Day: July 23, 2009")，選球更是沒話說(本季或生涯的BB+IBB&gt;SO)，而 LaRoche </summary><link

等風景區，這些地方的確是優美的世外桃源，但如果沒到南疆去體會維吾爾民族的生活風俗，就真的不算到過新疆，「不到喀什等於沒來過新疆」這句話是對的。風景區雖然有各自的特色，但也有很多相似的地方，而不同民族人們的生活點滴、文化傳統則是唯一、不易被取代的。現在了解以前帶老外客戶逛台北，他們總對夜市裡的水果、攤販好奇，城市裡真正的生命力是在小巷裡，而不是在大街上。這篇就雜記一些旅行的瑣事，做個總結吧。新疆真的大而且是要命的大，城市轉換隨便一趟就是幾百公里，(左圖:</summary><link

維族人問就行)，要買票時就叫你自己先去停車場看車子有沒有來；本來以為是我雖，碰到個月經不順的售票大嬸，結果隔壁售票窗的二個美國女生也被這樣刁難著東奔西跑，才發現這裡的售票員都這麼GY，當下恨不得馬上想打電話到旅遊局投訴，幹！</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'
