A nine-month-old Yorkie was not about to leave a Missouri rest stop without his master. Mistakenly left behind by an Arkansas truck driver, Rambo waited there for two days until his owner was able to track him down.
Rambo jumped out of Michael Siau’s rig when Siau stopped at a rest area near Hannibal on June 1, the Hannibal Courier-Post reported.
“Didn’t even cross my mind that he might jump out. He never has before,” Siau said.

Siau made it all the way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 274km to the north, before he realized Rambo was gone.
Siau began calling authorities. By June 3, he had learned Hannibal had jurisdiction over the rest area. Hannibal animal control officer Tim Ledbetter was sent to the site.
Sure enough, little Rambo was there, waiting patiently.

《漢尼拔快遞郵報》報導,當(狗主人)麥可.蕭六月一日把車子停在漢尼拔附近一處休息區時,小狗藍波跳出車子。
「我想都沒想過牠會跳出車去。牠從沒這樣過,」蕭說。
蕭一路往北走了兩百七十四公里來到愛荷華州的塞達拉皮茲,才發現藍波不見了。

果然,小藍波很有耐性地在那裡等待。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be

On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once

To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
