Photo story: Sheep tower 綿羊疊疊樂

"Photo stories" is a new section that I've decided to add

Each of the photos in this section have appeared in my other blog

But I just posted the pictures alone without any explanations

 So I thought it will be fun if I post the pictures again,

But this time I will tell you a little bit about the story behind that picture

"照片故事"是我決定新增的單元

裡面的每一張照片都在我之前的網誌出現過

但是那時我只有放照片沒有加上任何註解

於是我決定重新po這些照片並且寫下每一張的故事

.

Summer 2008 

was the last time I went back to Taiwan.

My friend and I found these adorable sheep

in Jin Shi Tang bookstore in Taipei

They were all different sizes and all so cute

I wanted to take them all home with me

But considering my limited luggage space I had to give up that idea

So we quietly stacked the sheep into a tower

And gave them names according to their price

(Ex. the largest one was called 699,'cause it cost NT$699, ha ha ha)

Even after I have returned to the U.S
I just couldn't get those sheep out of my mind

I would often ask my friend 'Are 699 and his brothers still there?'

when I was told Jin Shi Tang doesn't carry them anymore

I was heartbroken for a while

Next time I go back to Taiwan

I'll make sure that my luggage has some room

So I can take 699 back with me

If we have the chance to meet again!

2008年暑假,

上次我回到台灣的時候在公館的金石堂,

發現各式各樣不同大小的綿羊,

每隻都好可愛好想抱回家

但是想到行李箱會塞不下只好放棄

於是我和朋友偷偷的把綿羊按照大小疊疊樂

還幫他們取了名字

(用它們的價錢取名,例如最大隻的叫699,哈哈哈)

回到美國後我還一直

對那些疊疊樂綿羊唸唸不忘,

有機會就問朋友'699和它的兄弟們還住在金石堂嗎?'

前陣子朋友說金石堂已經不賣綿羊了

讓我傷心了一陣子

下次回台灣時我的行李箱要空一點

若我有緣再次碰到699

就要毫不猶豫的把它抱回家!
