三、取指纹 - Take fingerprint
(我在美国开始学习用英文写日记)
At 9 AM, somebody koncked the house door, and I opened the door, a mid-age women with bloned hair, about 5'4'', stood outside and smilied at me.
"Hi, How are you, I'm Sara. "
"Fine, Thank you"Ireplied(Actually I feeled not good).
I'm suffered from the diarrhea from yesterday. Although I had some traditional Chinese medicine which I took from China, it doesn't work.
"Are you Hui?"
"Yes I am. You are Sara"
"Yes."
"Ok, Please come in and take a seat."
Sara told me she will take me to the Monroe police department for the fingerprint and mail it to TSA for approval. When I told Sara I have a diarrhea from yesterday and I need to see a doctor.Sara made several phones call with others talking about my diarrhea and looked for a clinic or doctor: "they said it was not worthy to see a doctor because the diarrahea will be ok after took some medicince and keep light diet.
早上9点,有人敲门,我打开一看,原来是一位美国中年妇女,笑容慈祥,个子不高,金色头发,站在门口。
"嗨,你好吗?我是萨拉"。
“好,谢谢”我回答(其实我很不舒服) 。
从昨天开始,我正在被腹泻折磨着。虽然我吃了从国内带来的中药,可是没有好。
"你是HUI?"
"是的,你是萨拉"
"是"
"好的,请进,请坐"
萨拉告诉我她要带我去门罗警察局取指纹,再将指纹寄给TSA并申请批准。当我告诉萨拉我昨天开始拉肚子的事情,说明我想去看医生的想法。 萨拉立即打几个电话咨询附近的诊所:"他们说你不需要去看医生,因为拉肚子只需吃点药并吃清淡的食物就可以恢复。
Monroe Police Department
为什么不去Snohomish当地的警察局,因为他们周一没有取指模。为了节省时间不耽误我的学习,所以萨拉选择更远的Monroe Police为我取指模。更难得的是萨拉亲自开车送我去取指模,warm-hearted. Thank you Sara.
交钱$20,取指模要从警察局后面进去。
墙上的开关好像很陈旧,当地都是这种类型。
取指模的小房间,一位亚裔的美国女孩为我取指模,看起来像印度或巴基斯坦人。
警察局的取指模和大使馆取指模不太一样,手指需要rotate,把侧面的纹路也收集起来,其实和犯人取指模是一样的。
我在美国警察局留“案底”了。房间里面是不能拍照片的。
没事干,发现警察局墙上贴的公告居然是最低工资标准。有联邦的也有华盛顿州的,生效日期是2009年,时薪居然才$8.55。不知道是不是最新的标准。
这些不知道给谁看的,是给警察?还是给工人?
取指纹之后,打印出3份,其中2份寄给TSA,还有1份不知道谁拿去。然后萨拉开车带我去UPS寄快件。
萨拉的汽车是丰田的Camry,奇怪的座位居然不是真皮,她告诉我在美国,由于太热,人们都不太喜欢leather,因为阳光把汽车烤热了。
