• 2015 年 4 月 14 日，我步行前往列治文公共市场，先是爬上了外面的阶梯。市场内部宽敞的中庭式建筑，让我感觉彷佛置身于丛林之中。我当时已经有点饿了，便小跑到小吃摊「瓦船长」那里，点了一份面和一杯热茶。面里有鱿鱼、鱼和豆腐。我吃着吃着，一位穿着紫色 T 恤的英俊原住民男子从我身边走过。接着，一位身材魁梧、相貌英俊的犹太人也走了过来。几分钟后，我开始觉得口渴，于是在「QQ 珍珠奶茶与咖啡」买了一杯冰镇薄荷珍珠绿茶。我坐在阶梯旁慢慢品尝。附近坐着一家三口吃东西，男人是黑人，女人是东亚人，小孩是混血儿。我喝珍珠奶茶上瘾，于是在「花生家」又买了一杯。这次是冰镇青苹果珍珠绿茶，味道好极了。我搭扶梯下楼。去洗手间的路上，我注意到一个大水族箱，里面养着大概是体型巨大的阿拉斯加红帝王蟹，蟹腿上长满了藤壶。不知怎的，它们让我想起了外星生物。在书店里，我买了一本图文并茂的绿色植物学书籍，上面用的是汉字。一个月前我把它放在一个箱子上，现在还在那里。这本书 14 块钱。我搭扶梯上楼。我对珍珠奶茶还是有瘾，于是用剩下的零钱买了一杯冰荔枝珍珠绿茶。味道好极了，里面甚至还有白色的荔枝果肉。
  On the 14th of April of 2015, I walk to the Richmond Public Market, I first climbing the stairs outside. Inside, the wide atrium-like building is like a garden in a jungle surrounding, I imagine. Already quite hungry, I trot to Captain Wa, the food vendor, to get noodles with squid, fish, and tofu, as well as hot tea. As I eat, a handsome First Nations man in a purple T-shirt walks by. Then a handsome, stocky Jewish fellow walks by. A few minutes later, I begin to thirst, so I get a cold Mint Bubble Green Tea at the vendor QQ Bubble Tea and Coffee. I sit by the stairs to sip. A threesome family sits eating nearby, the man being black, the woman being Oriental, and the child being a hybrid. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I get another one, this time at Peanut's. It is a cold Green Apple Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious. I take the escalator down. On my way to the washroom, I notice a big aquarium full of probably giant red Alaskan king crabs with barnacles on their legs. They remind me of extraterrestrials, somehow. At the bookstore, I buy a heavily illustrated green botany book in sinograms. I left it on top of a box a month ago and it is still there. It is $14. I take the escalator up. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I spend my remaining coins on a cold Lychee Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious with even bits of white lychee flesh.
