What caused the Linsanity whirlwind which became
a controversial topic after Jeremy Lin scored 38 points against the Los Angeles
Lakers and carried the Knicks to their four straight victories on February 10th,
2012? Someone, like Floyd Mayweather Jr., believed it is Lin’s ethnic
background that led to the hype. However, as time has gone by, Jeremy Lin has
proved that it is his perseverance
that captures people’s attention and makes him stand out from the crowd. Jeremy
Lin was never an overnight sensation. The jaw-dropping performance of Lin
playing against an all-time great like Kobe Bryant was the result of hard work and more
than 10 years dedication. Ever since he discovered his love for
basketball at the age of five, Lin has strived to live out his dream of
becoming an NBA player. A never give up attitude and a constant improvement in basketball
skills best describe Lin’s bumpy journey to achieve success. He refused to be
defeated by setbacks and frustration as he failed to get drafted by an NBA team
after graduating from Harvard with a record-breaking performance. Besides, Lin
chose to believe in himself and putted out all the stops after being kept down
a spot at the end of the bench for months merely because of who he is and where
he comes from. It is undeniably true that being an Asian-American has made it
harder to achieve success on the basketball court. Instead, it is Lin’s passion
and determination that make him a special player and brought the emergence of
the whole Linsanity storm.
去到一個新的國家，逛逛超市是個感受當地風情的好方法，以下推薦幾個到澳洲超市必吃的東西，也是我交換那年每次去超市都會想補貨的東西，提供給大家參考，希望也和你們的口味！ 1. Meat Pie 牛肉派 Meat Pie 是澳洲非常傳統的小吃，被視為當地特色食物之一，是到澳洲旅遊必定要嚐嚐看的美食，除了可以在當地咖啡廳、麵包店吃到熱呼呼現做的牛肉派外，超市裡也有販賣冷凍版的，只要用烤箱熱一下即可食用，有很多選擇，除了不同的口味外，也有許多不同的品牌，很推薦住在青年旅館或有小廚房的飯店類型的旅客買來試試看！沒有特別推薦買哪個品牌或口味，基本上都滿好吃的，可以從有打折的開始下手，多試試幾種也不錯。如果還是不知道要買哪個，以下有兩個品牌是我印象中有吃過的，個人覺得味道都很不錯，提供你們參考看看！ Herbert Adams 的 Chunky Beef & Mushroom 蘑菇牛肉塊口味 Four N Twenty 的 Classic Meat Pies 經典牛肉口味 Meat Pie Image by [ Canes Bar & Grill ] 2. Avocado 酪梨 我本身在台灣的時候就很愛吃台灣的酪梨，一到澳洲，遇上澳洲本地產的酪梨完全沒有招架之力，尤其是 Hass Avocado 這個品種，它是是世界上最普遍也最受歡迎的酪梨品種，跟台灣的酪梨吃起來很不一樣，外觀上除了比較小顆外，皮的顏色也較黑，味道更加濃郁，有濃濃的奶香味，口感也比較細緻，很滑順帶有一點油質的感覺，很適合直接當水果吃或夾在麵包裡。雖然價格稍貴，一小顆大約要台幣 50 元，但非常值得一試，就算是以前不喜歡酪梨的人也可能一吃就愛上！ Woolworths超市 酪梨廣告文宣 Image by [ Woolworths ] 第一次買在超市買酪梨 自製酪梨漢堡 把酪梨切碎，抹在麵包上，加上荷包蛋和培根，雖然畫面不是太好看，但是絕對美味！ 自製酪梨早餐 常常可以在澳洲的咖啡廳看到這類餐點，主要是各種水果加上優格、麥片、muesli，很適合夏天的早上吃 3. 牛奶 澳洲的牛奶真的非常好喝！沒有一分誇大，幾乎在澳洲交換的每一天，都會喝上一杯...
