    伯克利点滴(三)- 中秋月儿圆

    八月十五,虽在异乡,中秋节还是要过的。J是个超级月饼迷,早早就买了月饼。但两个人赏月似乎有点凄凉,决定加入大部队一起过。
     
    大部队是IGSM (international graduate student ministry)。我来这后报名参加了他们举办的周末英语课。组织者大多是韩国人,隶属基督教会,来教英语的自愿者有一二十个,本土生长或很小就自各个国家移民来的。真是佩服这些自愿者。无名无利,每个星期天都兢兢业业地赶来给我们上课。一两个月的课,每次都提供早餐,次次不同。上这个课程的最大收获除了跟他们练习英语外,就是享受并了解了美国人的各种早餐花样。星期五晚上他们有bible study,跟以前见过的bible study不一样,他们这个更像一个论坛,从bible上的故事引申到生活的哲理,教这些国际新生们怎样处理刚到异国他乡求学遇到的压力。而且他们也没有强劝我们去参加或加入他们的教会,这倒让我没有太排斥,有空会跟J一起去听听。当然更吸引人的是他们每次都提供美味晚餐,有时还带我们去他们家里吃饭看电影聊天,还经常组织各类活动。没有找到中国人的大部队,也就将就韩国人的部队了。虽然组织者大多是韩国人,来听课的仍以中国人居多。不知道是因为他们是基督徒还是什么原因,这些组织者和志愿者都非常非常nice。有时禁不住怀疑他们的动机,为什么要免费给我们上课,为什么要免费提供给我们好吃的,还带我们到处游逛?但是他们确实是一群真实的很友好的人。他们也激发起了我做自愿者的热情。
     
    回到中秋节。IGSM组织去山顶lawrence berkeley national lab处吃月饼赏月看伯克利的夜景。我来这后还没上去过,顺路爬上去还挺费劲,好长一段。各自愿者开车送我们上去,带了月饼、蛋挞,拎着热水、茶包,真周到。伯克利冲着太平洋吹进湾区的风口,山上好凉,夜景确实很漂亮。一群人吃月饼喝热茶看月亮聊天。跟一台湾mm聊得很happy,让我去台湾玩就找她。没有问她是蓝派还是绿派,这些政治观点都无所谓了,避开不提更好。十一点多自愿者们又送我们下山,挨个送到家门口。回到家开始给远方的家打电话。乐,还是思蜀。
