對於玩踏板長大的年輕人,電動踏板車確是便捷的代步交通工具,可以寓上班或上學於娛樂,但對不擅運動的人,還是安步當居好了。奧克蘭不是唯一有出租電動踏板車的城市,據悉在阿特雷德、布里斯本、曼谷、星加坡等,也興起電動踏板車。

土耳其菜
提起土耳其菜,自然想起烤肉(Kebab),而Kebab已成為土耳其菜的名稱。Kebab是將一片片肉類串成垂直的一大串,一邊慢慢轉動,一邊受熱,讓油脂滴下。烤肉可配飯及蔬菜,吃得健康。
不過土耳其菜並非只有烤肉,也有蔬菜捲(salad wrap),那是把生的蔬菜絲,如紅蘿蔔絲、生菜絲、洋蔥絲等等,以薄餅捲好,用錫箔紙裹起,再放進焗爐加熱,趁熱吃,非常適合素食者。土耳其菜在奧克蘭非常普遍,不無原因。

華人經營汽車旅館
汽車旅館(motel)在西方國家很普遍。在奧克蘭,由華人經營的汽車旅館有增加的趨勢。最初,很多汽車旅館由一對當地夫婦合力經營,到退休時把生意頂讓。這門生意,投資額與技術都遠低於酒店的要求,對移民還算合適。

) 是2016年諾貝爾文學獎得獎人,也是首位獲頒文學獎的歌手,以表揚他為傳統歌曲帶來詩意的表達方式。事實上,卜戴倫是創作歌手兼藝術家,影響遍及音樂界和文化界逾50年。他最著名的作品都來自1960年代越戰時期的民謠,其表表者就是〈Blowin' in the Wind〉,且譯為〈答案隨風飄〉。此曲旋律簡單優美,歌詞顯淺,但寓意深遠。
〈答案隨風飄〉 曲詞:卜戴倫
一個人要走遍多少路
才能鍊成男子漢
鴿子要飛越多少大海洋
才可歇睡沙灘上
炮彈還要飛多少次
才會永遠被禁制
朋友,答案隨風飄
隨風飄呀飄
再問,青山南北郭
經歷多少年才被沖刷到大海
再問,有些人要耽待多少歲月
才能重獲自由
再問,一個人能別轉面多少次
以假裝視一切而不見
朋友,答案隨風飄
隨風飄呀飄
又問,一個人要仰望多少次
才可看到天空
又問,一個人要有幾雙耳朵
才可聽到群眾呼喊
又問,仍然要犧牲多少生命
才使某些人覺醒傷亡慘重
朋友,答案隨風飄
隨風飄呀飄

That too many people have died?
