文档介绍：游记清迈之行
刚从清迈回来,趁热打铁写个短短的图文游记同大家分享。以后再抽空陆续写点美国加拿大以及其他地方的。因为是先写的英文,再翻译成中文,难免有点儿古怪的“翻译腔”;又因写得匆忙,可能有些错误。望包涵指正。
清迈之行
可申请落地签,需携带至少5000人民币,签证申请费是1000泰铢,但签证官有时(实则是经常)会索要大约100泰铢的小费。1人民币=5泰铢。
我们在这家当地餐馆享用了第一餐。我们吃了一种叫做Khao Soi的咖喱面。我觉得挺可口的,虽然全无卖相。此外令我颇为惊讶的是:清迈物价几乎与成都持平!
We wandered around the old city of Chiang Mai. There are many temples all around, or as they call it: wat. You have to take off your shoes before entering any wat. Make sure that you dress properly, which means no shorts or skirts! (poor me! I only have shorts...) Remember to bring a long dress or pants, otherwise you'll end up like me:
我们在清迈古城中闲逛。有很多寺庙,在泰国叫做wat。进入寺庙前需拖鞋。必须穿戴整齐,短裤短裙皆不被允许。记住带长裙或者长裤,否则你会落得我的窘相:
God, I walked like a geisha in a Thai temple. Just imagine that! And still, I almost ruined that shirt!
天呢,我在泰国寺庙里迈着日本艺伎的步子,想想也醉了!尽管如此,我还是差点把衬衣绷烂了。
It's extremely hot between 12am and 3pm. It's better to stay indoor during that time of the day. Why not visit a museum?
12点至3点酷热难耐,其间最好待在室内。何不去参观下博物馆呢?
At the three king monument, we happened to run into a ceremony for the princess's 60th birthday (I have no idea until a local told me about it!). So luckily, we havd a FREE night show to watch, which by the way, was awesome!
在三王纪念碑,我们正巧碰上了泰国公主六十岁生日庆典。幸运的,我们看了一场免费的晚会。棒极了!
When the sun goes down, numerous food e out. I prefer to walk around trying different local snacks than go to a fancy restaurant to have a formal dinner. It's a lot of fun to try new foods (although their sweat&sour flavor was driving me crazy!).
日落西山时,小吃摊全都涌现出来。较之去高级餐馆吃正餐,我更愿意四处品尝当地小吃。尝试新的食物趣味无穷,虽然他们的甜酸味让我快要疯了!)
Chiang Mai University is very famous. But to my disappoitment, they wouldn't let us walk around by ourselves. We had to take a bus tour which only lasted 30 minutes (that's lame!).
清迈大学很有名。但让我大失所望的是校方不准许我们自由活动。我们必须坐校园观光车,区区30分钟。(太逊了啊!)
Doi Suthep Mountain is not far from Chiang Mai University. You can just hope onto a Song Theaw and it'll take you to the top of the mountain where the famous Wat Prathat Doi Suthep is locat
