2015 年 4 月 14 日，我步行前往列治文公共市場，先是爬上了外面的階梯。市場內部寬敞的中庭式建築，讓我感覺彷彿置身於叢林之中。我當時已經有點餓了，便小跑到小吃攤「瓦船長」那裡，點了一份麵和一杯熱茶。麵裡有魷魚、魚和豆腐。我吃著吃著，一位穿著紫色 T 恤的英俊原住民男子從我身邊走過。接著，一位身材魁梧、相貌英俊的猶太人也走了過來。幾分鐘後，我開始覺得口渴，於是在「QQ 珍珠奶茶與咖啡」買了一杯冰鎮薄荷珍珠綠茶。我坐在階梯旁慢慢品嚐。附近坐著一家三口吃東西，男人是黑人，女人是東亞人，小孩是混血兒。我喝珍珠奶茶上癮，於是在「花生家」又買了一杯。這次是冰鎮青蘋果珍珠綠茶，味道好極了。我搭扶梯下樓。去洗手間的路上，我注意到一個大水族箱，裡面養著大概是體型巨大的阿拉斯加紅帝王蟹，蟹腿上長滿了藤壺。不知怎的，牠們讓我想起了外星生物。在書店裡，我買了一本圖文並茂的綠色植物學書籍，上面用的是漢字。一個月前我把它放在一個箱子上，現在還在那裡。這本書 14 塊錢。我搭扶梯上樓。我對珍珠奶茶還是有癮，於是用剩下的零錢買了一杯冰荔枝珍珠綠茶。味道好極了，裡面甚至還有白色的荔枝果肉。

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.
