在坎貝爾到處可見兩種店─理髮店和炸雞店，雖然也有肯德雞和麥當勞，但這些中東人開的炸雞店採低價策略，一餐不到三磅就可以解決。走在路上看見放學的孩子手拿一包炸雞或薯條，就很像我們吃鹽酥雞。
In Camberwell you can find as many barbershops as fried chicken shops. There are also Kentucky and McDonald's, but these fried chicken shops run by immigrants from the Middle East go for the market strategy of low prices. A meal is available at the price of lower than 3 pounds. I often see kids holding a pack of fried chicken or chips to satisfy their hunger after school. It's the same as what we do with bang bang chicken in Taiwan.
我選了「雞籠」，不知是我的投射，這家店像海明威寫的，燈光明亮卻好寂寞。
I chose Chicken Coop today. I don't know if it was the projection of my state of mind, but like Hemingway wrote, this shop was clean and well-lighted but so lonely.
我是一個很少感到寂寞的人，不過最近的我似乎快把我這輩子寂寞的總量用光了。放心，我不會做傻事，只會把這難得的情緒畫下來‧‧‧
I am not someone who easily feels lonely, but lately I have had the feeling that I am going to use up my quota of loneliness in this life. No worries. I won't do silly things. I do think this is good for my drawings though...
