Shelter In Place: Week 1 Check-In | 第一週自主隔離

Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary! Originally we had planned a getaway to Ishigaki Island, but due to COVID-19, we were issued restriction of movement by UN’s command, we cancelled all of our plans and stayed at home. Disappointed of course, but I’m rather calm, and decided to use all this stay at home time to work on my shelter-in-place to-do list! God, I love making to-do lists. 

結婚三週年快樂！取消原本石垣島的計畫，改乖乖待家裡。失望是一定的，畢盡想去石垣島很久了。上週頻頻聽到傳言我們即將居家隔離，直到週五海軍陸戰隊發出正式通知得我們必須待家裡（輪到我們了）。聽到這訊息時心裡滿平靜，開始列清單寫下這段時間在家能做的事。我真的好愛列清單！

Dalgona Coffee | 400次咖啡

Dalgona coffee is everywhere! We need to pick a perfect day to make this insta coffee! Get the cheapest instant coffee in Commisary (hey, don’t be a coffee snob), mix with sugar and hot water. Stir it for 400 times, or use hand mixer for faster result. Voila!

做這網紅咖啡必須挑個好日子。週間早上UN出門太早沒動力，晚上回家喝咖啡睡不著，週末開始居家隔離，兩人在那之前衝到基地超市買即溶咖啡，終於做出朋友們一直在IG上發的咖啡飲料！（感謝朋友L的教學）即溶咖啡、糖、熱水，同等量攪拌約400下，竟變成網紅咖啡！

Jjapaguri | 烏龍炸醬麵 (짜파구리)

After preparing Jjapaguri, UN and I wonder how the maid in Parasite cooked it under 8 minutes while fighting and cleaning up at the same time. We kept laughing just thinking about that scene in the movie.

和UN一起準備完Jjapaguri後太好奇在電影寄生上流裡，管家到底如何用八分鐘不但能打架、整理客廳廚房、還煎肉煮麵。我倆光想到電影那橋段就覺得好笑，算是今年目前最喜歡的電影。 平時不買速食麵，果然在居家隔離就是會做出一些連自己都覺得奇怪的事！

Sunflower Field | 太陽花園

Before the restriction of movement order came down, my friend L and I went to visit a local sunflower field. To know Okinawa means navigating its small alleys well, and you will be surprised by what lies hidden within. Don’t need to go all the way to Miyagi Island to look for sunflowers, you can find these off the side of the street.

正式自主隔離前朋友L和我去了一趟太陽花園，算是我們隔離前的小確幸。認識沖繩就是要開車穿越小巷，常常有意想不到的驚喜。原以為要到宮城島才能看到太陽花，卻意外路上遇到一片太陽花。至於正確位置，我們也不確定在哪。

Took me exactly three days to adjust to this new rhythm of life. The hardest thing is social distancing myself from the fridge. Occasionally I do my morning run. I love saying “ohaiyo” to the old lady that lives across the street. On the way back I would sometimes run into the old couple that live in our building taking their daily walk. Right now in Okinawa, only military and SOFA status personnel are required to remain shelter-in-place. UN goes into clinic every other day. Most restaurants now offer takeout service. Base tightened restrictions. I’ll utilize the shelter-in-place time to work on more posts. Stay tuned for my Instagram updates featuring many #throwback pics. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

老實說居家隔離沒有想像的無聊。自己找了一堆事做，花了約三天適應節奏，但還在處理與冰箱距離（拜託別變胖啊。）偶爾早上出門跑步，喜歡和對面的日本老奶奶大喊早安，她會禮貌性和我打招呼。跑回家後一定會見到住同棟大樓的一對老夫婦出來散步，我覺得他們一定會長命百歲。目前在沖繩只有美國軍方相關人士需要居家隔離，UN工作也改為每隔一天進診所。許多餐廳陸續推出外帶服務，基地管制越來越嚴格。接下來趁在家隔離期間開始把文章慢慢生出來，敬請期待我的IG一堆#throwback吧！不知道這樣的生活需要維持多久，但希望這波病毒可以快點結束，大家好好注意身體健康、小心安全！我們網路上見！
