在走路到海灘的途中，Main Street兩旁林立著不少的餐廳，沒人介紹過，就利用Yelp搜尋想吃的食物，海鮮類的，找到了這家有四顆星評價的Sushi on FIRE。
On the way to the beach, there are several restaurants just on the sides of Main Street. Since I don't have any idea, I use Yelp to find a restaurant. The Sushi on Fire is a 4-star restaurant on Yelp.
看來不錯，正好和朋友都想吃吃日式料理，決定就是它了！
It looks nice, and both my friend and I want to try some fish, so we get in.
當我打開菜單瀏覽了一遍，突然有個不好的感覺，幾乎都是花壽司料理，這是美國人(或至少加州的美國人)接受度最高的日本料理，但在一家日式餐廳中，這不應該作為主要供應的餐點的，我猜，這恐怕是一家美式日本餐廳，口味上可能要有點心理準備～
When I open the menu, I have a bad feeling about this restaurant. There are a lot of rolls which should not be the main dish of a Japanese restaurant. I guess, this might be an American style, Japanese restaurant.
朋友點的Helloween。
My friend ordered Helloween, the raw fish is tuna.
考慮再三，最後點了招牌的Sushi on Fire來試試，酪梨和蝦子搭配的口感與味道都不錯，算好吃，只是有點不習慣，一下子吃了這麼多。
I ordered the Sushi on Fire, the shrimp and the avocado are good taste.
最後考慮一下，還是加點了一碗醬油拉麵，吃完不覺得有非常飽，但沒想到超級能撐，一直都不餓，最後沒吃晚餐就睡了。
不過，這碗拉麵就很普通了，鹹味完全來自加入的醬油，感覺上就不是用高湯下去煮的，完全沒有熬煮的高湯味。
備註一下，在尋找醬油拉麵的英文時，發現一大堆人說是Soy Sauce Ramen，還有人用Soy Sauce Noodle，正名一下，在美國的這一年，我遇到的日本料理店都用Syouyu Ramen，台灣料理翻譯成英文時，也應該要用音譯的。
After finish the rolls, I feel not satisfied. So I ordered Syouyu Ramen as an extra. And, I was so full on that day that I even skip my dinner. About the taste, just so so. The soup only has the taste of soy sauce, you can't taste the sweat of vegetables or chicken or pig which is popular for a Japanese restaurant to cook the soup.
最後，算是確定了這是一家美式日本料理店。
After all, I think this really is an American Japanese restaurant which is just so so for me. I should not try.

在週一之前，其實我根本沒注意到本週有個長週末，週六是美國國慶日，週五彈性放假，急急忙忙地上網搜尋一番，看看這個週末能夠參加些什麼活動？
I didn't expect there is a long weekend until I realize that the July 4th is the Independence Day. There should be something funny on that day, although there is nothing funny in Taiwan for the National Day.
在台灣，應該很少人有這些篷子吧！在美國，我想這些都是私人占位用的！
I believe all the tents are private.
甚至還拉線，標示著某某家庭及其朋友，哇～
Someone even circles a space for his/her family and friends.
這位不太高興的小女孩催促著：「爸爸，快點！」
"Hurry up, Dad." Although the girl looks unhappy at all.
有許多的腳踏車都有如上的改裝，不知道是不是學校作業？還是大家真的是這麼地自動自發！
A lot of bicycles are decorated like this, I don't know if it's a kind of homework from school, or the parents just willing to do that.
Huntington Beach有一整天的活動，決定再次來這兒看看有什麼不一樣！一早在十點前就趕到了附近，結果Main Street因為遊行的緣故被封街了，附近繞了繞，很幸運地在Utica Avenue附近的小巷內找到了一個車位，距離Main Street非常近，花了幾分鐘就在附近找到一個可在第一排觀賞遊行的位子。
After Google, I found there are several interesting thing at Huntington Beach. So, I got there before 10 o'clock for the Parade on the Main Street. I was lucky that I still can find a parking lot around the Utica Avenue. Just one minute walk I reached the Main Street and it's not too difficult to find a spot to watch the parade.
因為遊行起點是海灘邊，一直等到了十點半才看到遊行的隊伍。
Since the spot is a little far from the beach, where the parade starts, I wait to 10:30 then I can start to watch the parade.
這兩張照片很有趣，一起遊行的小小孩累了，想上補給車休息，結果因為停了下來，就落後了遊行的隊伍，所以趕快催著這位辛苦的伯伯，「快點，我們落後了！」沒想到第二張居然拍出了追焦的效果，真的是意外之喜！
"Hurry up, we're behind the team!"
雖然這是廣告，不過這也是我最喜歡的隊伍。表演的主題是吸血鬼婚禮，之後，在十月份就要開始狩獵人類了，哈哈哈～
在隊伍旁邊，還有新娘的家人在跟旁邊民眾哈拉，拍照，還介紹：「這是我女兒(姊姊)的婚禮！」超有fu的。
The advertisement of the hunting game in October. For me, this is the most interesting attraction in the parade. There are three people walking on the side and saying that, "It's my daughter's (sister's) wedding!"
這是我見過，擁有最長的鬃毛的馬了！
The horse has the longest hair I never seen.
第一次見到這麼大規模的法輪功團體，花車上還有個白人在表演，還真是新奇又帶點古怪呀！
The first time to see Falun Dafa. It's novel.
我的想法是，旁邊那是實彈嗎？
Is that real bullets (or missiles)?
從Huntington Beach姊妹市─安城市(愛知縣，有看過灌籃高手的人，應該知道愛知縣才是)，來的花車表演，在這一長串的隊伍中，很有耳目一新的感覺，特別的不一樣；真的是覺得，這些人辛苦了！
The support from the sister city, Anjo. When I saw it, "It's so hot" just jump into my head especially for the Samurai.
總結來說，這是個挺有趣的遊行，只是規劃得不太好，遊行中斷了好幾次，都幾分鐘沒有新的隊伍，覺得應該還有隊伍，可是又什麼都看不到，那種感覺真的不好，容易感到無趣，尤其後來太陽出來，更是容易曬得有點心浮，除此之外，真的是不錯又有趣。
This is an interesting parade, but I felt a little be bored. The parade didn't go smoothly. It just stopped couple times, there were no team showing anything for couple minutes, from 1 to around 7 or 8 minutes which make the audiences impatient. Besides that, it's good.
遊行大約十二點半結束，接著往海灘移動，過程中，也看到了許多人對自己家裡的佈置，真的是誇張呀～
It ends about 12:30. And then I walked to the beach for next show. On the way to the beach, I can see how Americans enjoy it, the decoration of the house.
還看到露營用的帳篷，台灣如果有類似的活動，不知道能不能這樣搞？恐怕會被罵自私吧，兩三個人給人家占那麼大的位子，哈哈哈～
Now I can understand why American people buy so many camping gears. You can use it on so many events.
