The temperature was even lower than yesterday, but we decided to visit the Andy Warhol museum near downtown. We walked across a bridge and the river was frozen with thin ice on its top.  It was amazing to see this! It would be really dangerous if some unlucky guys were falling into the FREEZING water! Andy Warhol is well-known for his pop art. He included so many elements  that were considered conflict with so-called ART. But I think he didn't care. He thought art should be combined with commerce and business to profit.  He is unusual, but cool, I think.



今天下雪，冷到爆炸！我把自己包起來，只露出眼睛，裝扮有點像是恐怖份子，但我不在意，因為我快要凍壞了!!! 橋下的景象讓我想到「如履薄冰」的成語，台灣看不到。今天到普普藝術大師Andy Warhol博物館，大家一定看過他的作品，複製人像再變成藝術作品，是他最愛做的事情，對他來說，藝術一定要和商業結合，能賺錢很重要。(非翻譯)

It was freezing outside, but  I really enjoyed my first ice skating fun at PPG place. The outdoor skating rink was wonderful!  The rink was surrounded by buildings of matching glass design. Not a good ice skater, I fell several times. But I think anything new seems worth a try!



Pittsburgh市區的PPG place提供很棒的室外溜冰場，周圍都是大片玻璃的建築，夜裡反射出聖誕燈的光芒，真是漂亮極了！我連直排輪都沒玩過，溜冰整個就是大挑戰！穿上冰刀鞋走到溜冰場，腳踝已經些些疼痛，大概是因為沒穿厚襪子，大部份的時間我都扶著欄杆像個學走路的一歲小孩，練習了一陣子漸漸放開手，偶爾會不小心滑倒，不過真的非常有趣。很多外國人用一種近似狂奔的速度在場內怡然自得地移動，超讓人羨慕!!雖然自己樣子很笨拙，但有機會體驗溜冰真的很好玩。
