意想不到的朋友與收獲

長期來我部落格玩的朋友，應該可以發現這是一個不沾染商業氣息的園地。所有的藝文與西雅圖餐廳和糕餅Cafe的介紹，都是我對生活的記錄。因為喜歡，而寫下它們，完全沒有置入性行銷的問題。昨天，意外發現我介紹過的一家餐廳Shultzy's來我文章留言，說喜歡我的照片，希望與我的部落格連結。這真是太意外了！不知他們怎麼找到我的。在我表示歡迎之意後，他們也寫了一篇讓我臉紅的短文介紹我的蔚藍手札，真是太感動了。

部落格真的是個有趣的世界，你永遠不知誰在看你的文章。去年去White Center的Café Rozella欣賞佛朗明哥音樂會而寫下的文章，竟也被Café Rozella老闆娘發現。看不懂中文的她，還特定請客人幫忙翻譯呢！這段奇緣，讓我高興不已。

本著好東西要與好朋友分享的信念，發現自己默默寫下的記錄慢慢被人發掘，拍攝的影像被人稱讚，而且還有國際化的趨勢，實在是蠻有成就感的。難怪，會樂此不疲呢！


Unexpected Friends and Reward

For those of you who are regular visitors should have already found that my blog is a non-commercial place. All my articles about music, books, films, restaurants and cafés are just records of my life. I write about them simply because I like them. There is no marketing behind any of them. Yesterday, there was a comment from one of the restaurants Shultzy that I wrote an article about two months ago, saying that they liked my photos and would like to link to my blog. What a surprise! I have no idea how they found me. After I said that it would be my pleasure, they also wrote an article to introduce my blog and paid great compliment on my photos. I am truly flattered and moved.

Blog is quite an interesting world. You never know who your readers are. Last year, I wrote an article about a Flamenco Dance performance at Café Rozella in White Center. It was later discovered by the owner of Café Rozella, too. Because I always write in Chinese, she asked one of her customers to translate my article for her and wrote an wonderful comment. I was so happy about this unexpected visitor.

My blog is based on the belief of sharing good things to good friends. I found out that my articles would gradually be discovered by others and my photos would attract people, even "internationally". This is really rewarding. No wonder, I can keep on blogging!
