臺北/美國生活筆記本

剛剛無聊找了一下newegg.com，原來newegg不止大同電子鍋，連真正的大同電鍋也有在賣耶～以後不用辛苦地從臺灣扛大同電鍋來了，在美國不用去東方超市也買得到大同電鍋喔！

上一次我們跟朋友去外州玩的時候，因為人數眾多，開了兩台車同行。某一天在一條雙車道的高速公路上開著，不知道為什麼突然之間完全沒有車開在右邊車道，不久之後就看到路肩有警車在閃燈，那台警車攔了一台車正在盤查。過了第一台警車沒多久，又出現另一台閃著燈的警車，也攔了一台車。仔細一看，被攔下來的車主原來是我們同行的朋友D。我們看到之後就馬上換到右邊車道，本想停在前面不遠處看看是什麼問題。但是怕被警察認為我們妨礙值勤，所以又開了一陣子然後在路肩打故障燈停了下來。

前幾天臨時需要訂一張美國國內線機票，而且日期就在兩星期後。在網路上查來查去，原本可能只需要兩三百的票，現在一張都要超過五百。因為需要訂直飛的，剩下的選擇又更少。原本已經打算狠下心就把五百大洋拿出來敬貢給航空公司了，突然間想起來似乎還有累積里程可以換機票，就趕快著手搜尋。
