Moving in and out

Moving in and out

Both Depreciation of US Dollars and low Home Loan interest rates lead to the rising real property ( includes land and buildings and anything affixed to the land.) price. Asian new immigrations ,in particular Silicon Village young engineers, move into the Bay Area. The aged move out.

Though in Taiwan,the price of real property near railroad station,MRTstation, traffic crowded area is more expensive than others. In the Bay Area, the people consider to live in an area that has crowded strangers not safe. In here, Living areas are apart from commercial areas. Approaching to the crowd ,the realty is cheap.

The aged of the Bay Area move to other States or buy the cheaper area. Neither care good school district nor worry about the distance to work ,taking the train better than driving a car ,they will choose by the train station. They

make profits by buying and selling ,and then they creat " Pension" by themselves.

遷入遷出
由於美元貶值及低房貸利率導致房地產價格上升( 房地產包括土地，建築物和附著的地上物 ),亞洲新移民，尤其是矽谷年輕工程師移入灣區，年長者移出。
雖然在台灣，房地產靠近火車站，捷運站及交通，人潮擁擠的地區較昂貴。但是在灣區，人們考慮到居住在許多陌生人擁擠的地區不安全。而且這裡商業區和住宅區是分開的，靠近人潮進出的地區反倒便宜。
灣區的年長者搬到其他州或買較便宜的地區。年紀大了，既不必考慮好學區，也不必考慮上班的距離，搭火車比自己開車便利，他們會選擇搬到車站附近。而且在買賣間獲得的差價利潤為他們自己創造出一筆養老金。

Well-fitting of Dress

Well-fitting of Dress

"My baby was born for three and half months ,but my figure didn't recover from losing shape. I want to buy official well-fitting dress."

 Sopping at the department store , Jeany tried on out-fit again and  again,finally she didn't feel well."Let's go to food court."

" If you are less eating and more walking,you will build a good shape.The original clothes

will remind you never to give up ."

In Costco , a large amount of products or food are packed in common one unit and

in restaurants, they provide a great serving size meal and a large cup of drink.Even now plenty of meat ,fried food and spreading butter,peanut,jam over the bread are filled with the generally served Lunch. Thinking over that we wolf down so much food is incredible.

Otherwise,every one drives a car going to work ,to shop,to travel ,hardly takes

a walk around the neighborhood.Coming home from work becomes a couch potato usually. 

A healthy life is necessary ,and then the figure will be in well-fitting of dress.

  

合適的服裝
" 我的嬰兒已出世三個半月了，但是我走樣的身材還是沒恢復過來，我得去買適合上班的衣服。"
逛百貨公司，Jeany 拿起套裝一套一套的試穿都不滿意，最後說," 走吧!去美食廣場。"
" 如果你少吃一奌，多走一奌，你將會有好身材，原有的衣服會提醒你,絶不放棄。"
美國Costco的農產品和食物，每一單位的包裝份量都很多。餐廳提供的每份餐奌都是大份量，飲料大杯。即使現在，一般銷售的午餐，都充斥著大塊肉，油炸食物，夾了滿滿奶油，花生，菓醬的麵包。想想我們狼呑虎嚥這麼多食物，真不可思議。
此外，每個人出門工作，購物，旅行都開車，很少看到有人在社區散步。下班回到家通常就成了沙發上的馬鈴薯。
健康的生活是必要的，如此才能有適合的身材穿合身的服裝。

Changing Thanksgiving

Changing Thanksgiving 

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States,on the every fourth Thursday of November.It's celebrated in memory of the pilgrims and in order to give thanks for harvest.

Thanksgiving Day,also called as Turkey Day, is traditional day for families and friends to get together for a special meal that often includes a turkey, potatoes, pumpkin pie and vegetables.Saying Grace expresses thanksgiving for the blessing in life.

Now,some people have a four-day weekend for taking a trip or shopping at the  mall, especially Black Friday Sales , crowds rush into Walmart or Target stores which are pushing the retail craziness even further.Paragon Outlets just new opening in Livermore are people mountain people sea.The holidays are full of commercial ad. and business.

Immigrations come from different countries, races, religions, culture. Such as Chinese Celebrated Moon Festival at lunar August 15,the feelings better than Thanksgiving Day. To most of Chinese,they didn't care eating turkey or chicken on Thanksgiving dinner.

The original significance of Thanksgiving Day is in changing.

感恩節在改變中
感恩節在每年十一月的第四個星期四，是美國的國定假日，為了紀念清教徒和感恩豐收。，
感恩節也叫火雞節，傳統中家庭和朋友會聚在一起，吃一頓豐盛的火雞大餐，包括火雞，馬鈴薯，南瓜派，蔬菜。並祈禱表達感謝生命中所得到的祝福。
現在，一些人會因為四天的假期安排旅遊，或到大型商場購物，尤其黑色星期五的大特賣，人潮衝進Walmart和Target商場，它們正推出瘋狂清倉大促銷。加州利弗摩的Paragon Outlet新開幕，更是擠到人山人海。感恩節假期充斥著商業廣告和商業活動。
大量的移民來自不同的國家，種族，宗教，文化。就如中國人對慶祝農曆八月十五日的中秋節比感恩節更有感覺，對多數中國人來說，他們不在乎感恩節晚餐吃的是火雞還是雞。感恩節原始的意義正在改變中。

Trash Classification

Trash Classification
"Jeany,you buy a new sofa,how to do the used furniture?"
"I donate it through the Internet."
Someday ,a big light box came from Amazon," What's in it?" I was curious to look that a small toy was wrapped in a lot of vacuum small bags."Wow,lots of trash."
We look at our trash-diapers,boxes,food products,the grocery bags,packages,bottles...."..Every day we produce so much trash,where are they going?"
"In here,every family must pays for cleaning and buys three trash cans,that includes compost(green color),recycle (blue color)and garbage( black color).Every Friday morning ,three cleaners drive different truck with machine to tack the trash away."
 By the side of parks,paths,roads,we can see a trash can of dogs,that the owners of dogs must pick up their pets trash to put into them.
Compost cans include waste vegetables,fruits,food product and plant to mix pets trash becoming compost.
Recycle cans include waste boxes,paper,bottles to break into pieces and reproduce.
Other  unwanted or undesired waste material put into the garbage can,include plastic products.
In Taiwan,the factories make the warm and soft blankets from the waste plastic bottles .There are lots of volunteers of Buddhist group- 慈濟 ,they classify the waste material in details and recycle them.
In spite of making a pledge,we must reduce the amount of tra sh that ultimately end up in our landfill or incineration.Because we live in only planet-Global.
垃圾分類
" Jeany,你買了新沙發，怎麼處理這舊傢俱? "
" 我透過網路捐贈出去。"
有一天，Amazon寄來一個很大卻很輕的大包裹，我很好奇裡面裝什麼?打開紙箱一看，是一大堆的真空袋包覆一個小玩具。
" 哇!好多的垃圾唷! "
我們檢視家裡的垃圾一尿片，紙箱，廚餘，塑膠袋，包裝盒，瓶子----,每天我們製造這麼多垃圾，它們將往何處去?
" 在這兒，每家每月必須付清潔費，並購買三個垃圾桶，包括緑色的肥料桶，藍色的資源回收桶及黑色的垃圾桶。每個星期五早晨，會有三個清潔人員分別開著三輛裝機械吊臂的卡車，來將垃圾載走。"
在公園，小徑及馬路旁，都設有狗的垃圾桶，狗主人必須撿拾寵物大便丟入其中。
肥料桶內包括丟棄的蔬菜，菓皮，食物殘渣，樹枝樹葉混入狗屎成肥料。
回收桶內收集紙箱，紙類，瓶子絞碎回收再製
其他無用的及不要的廢棄物丟入垃圾桶，包含塑化產品。1
在台灣，工廠將丟棄的塑膠瓶製成溫暖柔軟的毛毯。佛教團體如慈濟，有許多義工將廢棄物分類並回收可用資源。
我們必須保証垃圾減量，畢竟垃圾最終去處是掩埋場或焚化爐。而我們居住的地球祇有一個。

Miles Tries to Turn Over

Miles tries to turn over

Miles tries to turn over again and again.He bends his head toward back and lifts his leg to put on another side.He does his best to turn but fail.Sometimes I gave a hand to push him on his side and then he turned with energy.He felt success  and excited as a frog wanting to move ahead.Every day he tries hard but never gives up. Someday morning ,we will be surprised in his turning over by himself.

A story of a great president watched that fishes fought against the river up and up,to pluck up his courage to go ahead .At last he became a great man.Although the story kept company with me all my childhood.But Miles is true feelings to me. To learn never giving up from a baby's activity is incredible.
小麥嘗試翻身
小麥 嘗試翻身一次又一次。他側仰頭向背後彎，擧起一隻腳跨向另一邊。他很努力的嘗試轉身，但失敗了。有時候，我幫忙推他一下轉向另一邊，他順勢用力翻過去。他感覺成功，興奮得像一隻要往前移動的小青蛙。每一天他都很努力的嘗試，絶不放棄。也許有一天早上，我們將很驚訝的發現他自己翻過去了。
從小我們就讀過一個故事，一個大總統看到魚逆流而上，一再跳躍挑戰激流，振奮起他前進的勇氣，最後成功為偉人。雖然這故事陪伴我整個童年，但小麥對我是真實的感受。
竟然是從嬰兒的活動中，學習不輕言放棄的道理真不可思議。

American Pork

American Pork

" Can you smell the pork a litter bad?"

"It's fresh.All American pork has the smell,but the pork of Costco is better than others."

"When  we cooked the American pork,we added more rice wine,ginger, green onion to reduce the smell."

In Taiwan ,the piglets were castrated to grow up fast and then the pork better delicious without the bad smell. Though  American considered that any action to lose the natural function of creature is wrong. Based on the conscience of humanity, there is no reason to complain about the pork. 

I often use Jiu chai(韮菜),ginger and sesame oil mixing to wrap up dumplings.The heavy flavor of jiu chai can cover the little bad smell of the American pork.

美國豬肉
" 你聞聞這豬肉是不是有奌味道? "
" 這是新鮮的，所有美國豬肉都有這樣的味道，Costco的豬肉已經是比較好的。"
" 我們煑美國豬肉多加米酒，薑，蔥，可降低腥味。"
在台灣，小豬仔都閹過，長得快且肉質可口沒腥味。美國人認為任何使動物喪失自然功能的行為都是不對的。基於人道良心，我們沒有理由抱怨豬肉。我通常用韮菜，薑和蔴油拌肉來包水餃。韮菜香氣較濃可涵蓋美國豬肉的味道。

Solo Sports

Solo sports

Both changing mind and changing life style are the important course .When I retired from a career that was full of interesting active people.Suddenly every day was the same with quiet and lonely house.

Except taking a walk, I need a sport that can do by myself and doesn't require

an organized team.

Tai Chi Ch'uan, a section of Wudan Kung Fu of Chinese Martial Arts, is a traditional Chinese sport. I  learned some primary routines that included of breathing in and out, stretching, turning, kicking ,boxing, wresting and seizing slowly. It's defense training
and it's health benefits.

Both of them put emphasis on the external practice ,an athletics for muscle, bone and skin keeping in good health.
Solo Sports such as Tai Chi Ch'uan ,a team of one , don't  require equipment,  don't worry about sunny day or rainy day, at any time, any place. I can do it by myself.

一個人的運動
改變心態和改變生活方式兩者都是重要的課題，當我從一個有趣且充滿活力的職場退休下來，突然每天日子都一樣，面對的是安靜孤獨的房子。除了散步，我需要一種可獨自做，不需團隊組織的運動。
太極拳是一種武當功夫，屬中國武術。是一種傳統中國人的運動，我學了一些基本招式，包括慢慢的呼吸吐納，伸展，轉身，踢，擊，扭，抓。，
它是防禦的訓練，有益身體健康。這些基本動作著重外在身體的練習，是一種使肌肉，骨骼，皮膚保持在健康狀況的體育活動。
一個人的運動像太極拳，自𢦓一隊，不需裝備，也不必擔心晴雨，任何時候，任何地方，自己一個人就可運動。

Take a Vacation

Take a vacation
  " How are you going to spend your vacation?"
  "Let's plan a vacation trip to the snowy mountain,living in a cabin for several days."
Jeany and p.c.invited us to get a trip on vacation.
 " Why do you want to live in a cabin? It's not convenient."
 " Because we could experience early immigrant life to understand them how to work hard in snowy winter."
 "Wow,you spend lots of money to experience poor life."
I bothered that  I prefer saving money to experience poor life. Though enjoying in the sunshine at home is better than shivering with cold in the snowy mountain ,however sunshine is free. Life is beautiful but not always comfortable.I haven't romantic imagination for a long time.
Many years ago,I invited my mother- in-law to travel in the mountain .
She said," I grew up in the mountain for eighteen years, I wonder why can you appreciate so much ?" Time flies, I am coming to the boring time.
度假
" 你們預計怎麼度假? "
" 讓我們計畫一個度假旅遊，到雪山住小木屋幾天如何? "
Jeany 和PC邀請我們一起去度假旅遊。
" 你們為什麼要去住小木屋?那不方便。"
" 因為我們可以體驗早期移民生活，了解他們在冬天冰雪中如何艱困求生? "
" 哇!你們花那麼多錢去體驗窮困生活。"
這真叫我為難，我寧願省錢去體驗貧窮生活。而且在屋內享受陽光比在寒冷的雪山中發抖好多了，
何况陽光是免費的。生活是美好的，但不總是安逸的。我失去浪漫的想像力已經很久了。
許多年前，我邀請婆婆到山中旅行。她說，" 我成長於山中十八年，我很想知道為什麼你玩得這麼高興? " 時光飛逝，我已經到了這無趣的年齡了。

Talk about Foster City (2)

，Talk about    Foster City

Foster City, a green city, is known for it's natural beauty .Lots of parks,grass,

flowers,woods ,trails are by San Francisco Bay Area.The yachts are cruising on the lake,kinds of water birds float on water.The beautiful scenery in warm weather and fresh air is a populated region.

A good school district is the most attractive to Chinese and Indian.Since education is very importance,many immigrations move into the city,in particular young engineers.

This city impressed me that grandparents  come here to take care of their grandchildren.On the weekends,we always saw the Asian families on a tour or in restaurants three generations together,that Asian family culture is different from American style.Especially every young people is the family' only child in China,their parents make effort to do their best to protect them.

More and more young engineers move into the city who have high incomes,

and high cost of living.The buildings  were paid for sale or for rent a higher price than most other regions.

From southern San Francisco to San Jose of Bay Area is called Silicon Village that is the center of information ,Foster City is located about 25 miles(  1 mile=1.6km ) south of San Francisco .

再談福斯特市(2)，
福斯特市是一個綠色城巿，以它的自然美麗而著名。許多公園，綠地，花草，樹林，小徑 繯繞舊金山灣區。遊艇風帆巡遊湖上，各種類水鳥浮游水面，溫暖的氣候和清新的空氣使得風景更加令人心曠神怡。
好學區對中國和印度移民最具吸引力，因為重視教育，許多新移民遷入這個城市，尤其是年輕工程師。
這裡讓我印象深刻的是許多祖父母來照顧幼兒。在週末，我們總是看到三代同堂一起旅遊或在餐廳聚餐，這是亞洲的家庭文化迥異於美國的生活方式，尤其中國人，每一個年輕人都是家中的獨生子女，父母更是傾力保護下一代。
越來越多的年輕工程師移入這城市，他們高所得也高生活消費，因此住房不論購買或租用都必需比其他地區付出較高代價。灣區從南舊金山到聖荷西被稱為矽谷，為資訊中心。福斯特市位於舊金山以南二十五英哩(1 英哩=1.6 公里 )。

The Words

The words

Jeany worried about us thinking of Taiwan and losing appetite to American foods.She wanted to buy some Chinese food through the Internet,but need more quantity to get free shipping,she held "group buying".Immediately,got the reflections.

"Jeany,are they your friends?."

"Not yet,they will be my friends soon."

"These are Chinese food.Why are the interested members without coming from China?" I wondered .

"Because I used Traditional Chinese on my Facebook."

"And none comes from Hong Kong?"

"Because Hong Kong used some local words are different from Taiwan."

Recently Jeany downloaded Chinese Tong Song Dynasty poetry on Simplified Chinese for me,otherwise I was confused on reading them.

The debate on traditional and  simplified Chinese characters  has been a long- running issue among Chinese communities.Nevertheless, the words in ancient Chinese literature had deep and imagine space,literary works depending on graceful and beautiful words achieved more feelings.But I was sad in reading the poems with the broken and lost the original meaning words，how to express the beauty.

，。
文字
Jeany擔心我們想念台灣，也怕我們對美國食物失去胃口，想透過網路訂購中國食品，但是要量大才能免運費。他辦了團購，立刻得到回響。
" Jeany,他們是你的朋友嗎? "
" 現在還不是，很快就會是我的好朋友了。"
" 這些都是中國食品，為何有興趣的人裡面沒有來自中國的人? "我有點困惑。" 因為在臉書上，我用繁體字。"
" 也沒有來自香港的人?"
" 因為香港有些方言文字跟台灣不同。"
最近Jeany下載了簡體字的唐宋詩詞給我讀，我知道為了繁體字和簡體字的爭議，在中國社團和研討會中已爭論許久。但不管怎樣，文字在中國古典文學中，有深度和想像空間，文學作品因典雅和優美的文字而臻於更高境界的感受。我傷感於閱讀這些破碎的文字，如何能充分表達詩詞的婉約優雅。

The Wanderer

Jeany and I joined a reunion of schoolmates and listened  to an artist's speech.The speaker talked about the article "The wanderer" .His pictures mixed eastern and western coming from  that he suffered from an identity crisis.
He was born in China ,growing up in Taiwan.After graduated from university ,he studied and lived in Madrid of Spain for a long time .Then he went to America and obtained Citizenship.In deep mind,he asked himself," Where is my homeland?" " Will it be my address,my ID or my spirit?"
The wanderers who wander from place to place with no permanent home .Gypsy is considered the famous wandering race. But otherwise Chinese were taken off their homeland by war, poor ,natural harm or policy of Government and carried them on their way.Hardly due to explore or want to get freedom by his own spirit.It is different from Western people.
To wander is a romantic image in Chinese poetry.Most of people like the idea at heart but never to do in all their life.So do I.
流浪者
Jeany和我參加校友聚會，聽了一場藝術家的演講，主題是一流浪者。主講者談到他的畫融合東西方，來自於他的認同混淆。
他出生在中國，成長於台灣。大學畢業後留學西班牙，在馬德里住了很久。然後到了美國，取得美國公民。在內心深處，他常自問一何處是我家?是我的地址?國籍?還是我的心靈?
流浪者指的是從一個地方流浪到另一個地方，居無定所。吉普賽是最著名的流浪民族。儘管中國人歷代以來也曾因為戰爭，貧窮，自然災害或政府的政策而遷徙，但極少是自發性的為冒險或追求自由而離家背井，這跟西方人有很大的差異。
在中國的詩歌中，流浪是很浪漫的想像。許多人內心嚮往流浪，但終其一生不曾付諸行動，我就是。

The Neighbor

Coming from Republic of IRAN,Marlak and Ali have dark hairs and pretty smile faces.We are the next-door neighbors.

"Congratulations!"they heard baby's crying to give us a big blessing.Every day they are interested in baby's conditions." Baby,your hair is so nice." " Baby ,I love you so much, may I hold you?"

" You will become grandparents soon."

"Not yet, my son has a girlfriend,but they do not think about getting married."

"We admired that Jeany married to P.C.both are similar background and value system.We wish our son and daughter to marry with Persia young people,but they are born in America.They have changed no more Persia recognition.They refused to consider our any suggestions."

New immigrants in America,though make a great effort to keep original culture and living style,but the second generations differ from their parents.For example Miles was born in America.He is an American.He will accept American education and make friends with Americans.Till he is an adult .Will he mind to marry a Taiwanese girl? I am not sure.

隣居
瑪拉克和阿里是我們的緊鄰，他們來自伊朗，有著黑頭髮和親切的笑容。
他們聽到嬰兒的哭聲，立刻道喜，給我們大大的祝福。他們對嬰兒極有興趣，每天問候嬰兒的情況。" 寶貝，你的頭髮好多唷! " "寶貝，我好愛你，我可以抱你嗎? "
" 你們也會很快當祖父母。"
" 還早，我們的兒子有女朋友，但是還不想結婚。"
" 我們很羨慕PC和Jeany能有相似背景和價值觀的婚姻。我們希望兒女和波斯年輕人結婚。他們生在美國，對波斯的認同感已經改變了，他們不考慮我們的建議。"
新移民在美國，儘管很努力的保持固有文化和生活型態，但是第二代還是跟父母親不同。例如小麥生在美國，他是美國人，他將接受美國教育交美國朋友，等他長大，他會介意一定要娶個台灣女孩嗎?這我真不敢確定。

Miles coming to three months old

Miles coming to three months old
After tomorrow,Miles will be three months old.He can express "No" with loud voice not crying.To focus speaker's mouth seems learning language.He smiles
at similar family ,and sounds different pronunciations following singer.Every day he exercises his hands and legs hard on the blanket.
Begin the first day when he was born,his parents recorded time,quantity of his feeding, pee,poo,sleeping,bathing,activity exactly on a board.They analyzed and estimated his living routine.They hoped to find a better way to bore and train their son to keep a good rule.
Miles is a healthy and happy baby.We wish that he will be independent and responsible.
小麥快三個月大了
後天小麥就要滿三個月了，他已經會以尖叫而不是哭號，表達一不要。他會盯住說話人的嘴巴，彷彿要學說話。他會對熟悉的家人笑，會跟著唱歌的人發出許多不同的聲音。每天他很努力的在墊子上手腳運動。
從他出生的第一天，他的雙親就在大白板上紀錄他餵食，大小便，睡覺，洗澡，活動的正確時間、數量。他們分析和估計他的生活常規，希望能發現更好的方法去養育和訓練他們的兒子保有良好的紀律。
小麥是個健康快樂的嬰兒。我們希望他將來會是個獨立有責任感的人。

The moment

Amazing!
At the sunset,thousands of birds fly in the bright sky,turning around up and down.We hold our breath to see the wonderful view.Then they are surfing over the surface of sea water,crossing to the shore and stay on the rocks crowded together.
It's my first view to see the flocks of birds migration moving, except on the pictures or movies.So huge,so great.
At the moment,every one shocks in the beauty of nature.The true scene is far from watching TV' scenery.The  feelings of this moment will be forever in our life.
霎那
令人驚嘆!
在落日的光暉中，成千上萬的鳥兒飛進晚霞燦爛的天空，上下盤旋，我們屏息的看這驚人奇妙的景觀。然後牠們滑翔於海上，越過水面，停向灣岸岩石上，密密麻麻的擠在一起。
除了看照片和電影，這是我第一次看到候鳥遷徙的景象，好壯觀好偉大波瀾壯濶的場面。
霎時，每個人都震撼於大自然的美麗。看電視的場景無法與真正置身其中的感覺相比，霎那的悸動驚嘆將永遠銘刻於生命中。

Holding a Potluck Party

Holding a Potluck Party
"Mom,we will hold a Potluck Party this weekend."
"How to clean the house and prepare the food?"I was nervous about the party.
"Don't worry.My Roombot works hard to clean the blanket every day.We don't mind cleaning up.By the way ,join the Potluck Party,every one will take a dish.We don't prepare too much."
"Hi,we are coming!" Several families come in one by one at six o'clock on Saturday afternoon."Welcome!"
Birds of a feather flock together.Living in Silicon Village,a information center, they are all electrical engineer's families.They graduated from outstanding university and work on famous enterprises.They love their jobs and families,their style in engineer prefer quality to quantity,out of fashion but the best.
They introduce their families to each other, immediately all become a big family.
Living in abroad ,friendship and relationship are precious.
辦一個餐會
" 媽媽，週末我們要辦一個餐會. "
" 要怎樣大掃除和準備食物? " 對這個餐會，我開始緊張起來。
" 不必擔心，我的清潔機每天都很努力工作，地毯很乾淨，我們不必在意掃除的間題。再說參加這種餐會，每個人都會帶一道菜來，我們不必準備太多食物。"
" 哈囉!我們來了! " "歡迎! 歡迎! " 星期六下午六奌，幾個家庭陸續到來。
物以類聚，住在科技中心的矽谷，他們都是科技工程師的家庭，都畢業於傑出大學，服務於著名企業，他們都愛工作、愛家庭，是典型工程師風格，重質不重量，不時髦但是極有品味。
他們互相介紹家人，立刻大家熱絡得像個大家庭。生活在海外，友誼和親人都特別珍惜。

到水晶泉小徑健行
水晶泉是一個大又美麗的水庫，像藍寶石般的晶瑩剔透。環繞水庫的小徑已修建完成15.3英哩長(1英哩=1.6公里).這著名又吸引眾多遊客的水庫在福斯特巿附近，其實是水資源保護區。
每天拜訪的遊客絡繹不絕，在小徑上，年輕人健行，騎單車或跑步；年長者悠閒的漫步；孩子們跟著雙親亦步亦趨；幼兒坐在爸爸的肩膀上或被抱在臂彎裡；嬰兒甜睡在推車裡。許多家庭是三代全員出動，輕鬆的在森林中吸收新鮮空氣。因為平坦又安全的小徑適合所有年齡層的人來玩。
哈囉!一些背包客對著遊客開懷大笑的打招呼，他們是一群要去野營探索生命力的年輕人。每一個遊客都沐浴在像水晶清泉般的景緻中，享受了健康的一天。
