三年前從加州搬到中西部時,租了大卡車拖著小汽車,跨16州(瞎玩)。經過 Arkansas 州,氣死我了。當時的日記如下(加中文注釋)。

Yesterday I traveled through seven states: Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Today I traveled through six states: North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Indiana, and Ohio. On this trip, east most: Greenville, SC; south most: Van Horn, TX.

Very bad impression of Arkansas:
1) bad interstate roads; (州際公路坑坑窪窪)
2) road construction; (到處都在施工)
3) confusing traffic cones; (交通施工錐形的指示非常混亂)
4) unclear sign for national park; (到國家公園沒有指示牌)
5) slow drivers at Hot Springs city; (溫泉市的車輛開得太慢,令我誤了到溫泉公園的時間)
6) no public phone in downtown; (市中心沒有公眾電話,據說是要減少毒販的生意)
7) unclear signs for highways; (上高速公路的指示牌幾乎沒有)
8) no restroom for supermarket customers; (超級市場沒有洗手間)
9) BoA (Bank of America) ATM won't accept deposit; (銀行自動提款機不接受我的存款)
10) motel charges wrong; (旅店把錢故意算錯,門口標一個價,裏麵算另一個價)
11) motel no TV remote control; (旅店的電視沒有遙控)
12) motel phone cannot connect easily; (旅店的電話老是斷線)
13) gas station different charges for credit cards; (加油站用信用卡要加錢)
