8/10 Day 110 Phoenix City (Arizona)
It is soooooooo relax to stay in Phoenix (Far too lazy to have photos)! A special thanks to my host 李榮翔!You make me feel like better than home (and there is a really long time for me not to speak Chinese)! Must tell me if you come to Hong Kong. We can try different dishes there!
And now, time to start again. I will be in Mexico 3 days later! Should be a new world!
在鳯凰城待了4天,每天都過得相當愜意!是時候要再出發了!(只拍了看NBA的照片—我想用『懶惰』來形容這種生活會更合適吧?)
好!到達真正的墨西哥包會是甚麼樣的味道?答案稍後揭曉!(還是說像新加坡沒有星州炒米一樣,墨西哥包也是『被發明』出來的?)12/10 Day 114 Nogales, Mexico
Story behind a can of Coca-Cola
The story should be traced back to August. At that time it was raining for 4-5 consecutive days, my bike was seriously damaged, and seems that there was no ending point for the long uphill road.
It was so frustrated. I was sitting next to the information centre, saying F words to blame on what I was doing.

At that time Sham’s, a Chinese family came & talked to me. Though my shitty attitude was definitely rude, they were so kind & generous to bring me courage. Eventually seems that the situation was not that worse.
Before saying goodbye to each other, Mr Sham brought me lots of food & supply from their vehicle. At the moment I finished 99% of them. But at last, a can of Cola is being well kept in my bags.
I have not drunk it.
No matter how frustrated I was afterwards, I have not drunk it.
Even the weather is god damn hot (near 50℃ in Arizona!!! Thirsty! Very thirsty!), and I was running out of water, I have not drunk it.

What’s in my mind is that, when Mr. Sham gave me the supply, he hoped that they can last my for the journey. Although most of them were k.o. in one day, I swear to myself – through out the whole trip I need to remember there were so many people staying behind me, pushing me forwards to chase my dream.
I need something to recall this emotion.
And now it’s Mexico! The halfway of the trip. Before that I plan to finish the drink here, but now I am going to make a new promise – the Cola will follow me all the way until I reach Guatemala (I am not Sure if I can bring the liquid by flight to Cuba )
I swear.
我想中文的意思會和英文的差不多,就偷懶不翻譯了。補充一句,一路走來,從預備、成行、在路上,真的得到太多人的支持,深深感激!以下由小編翻譯:
這罐可樂可追溯至八月份。
那天連下了四五天雨,單車壞掉,又見了長長的斜路,心情極為低落。
途中遇到一個姓岑(或沈?)的中國家庭,他們不介意我態度的惡劣,跟我談話,並安慰了我。最後他們從車上拿了一大批食物和物資給我。
那些食物我很快就吃掉了99%,只剩下這罐可樂。
這可樂,我絕不會喝掉。
無論之後心情如何低落,我也沒有飲它。
就算天氣如何酷熱(在亞利桑那州曾接近50度高溫!),如何缺水,我也不會飲它。
我在想,岑氏一家支持我,是希望我可以完成這個旅程。我亦希望可藉此記下在旅程中,有很多人曾在背後支持我,推動我去追尋夢想。
我需要一些東西去提醒自己。
我現在已到墨西哥了!旅程的一半。原本計劃我會飲了這罐可樂,但我現在決定:這罐可樂會陪伴我直到危地馬拉(但我不知它可否登上往古巴的飛機。)
我發誓,絕不會喝掉它。
