去年初我跟世界各地的同事到了我們公司在亞特蘭大的辦公室出差兩個星期。來自亞洲的同事都怕那裡沒有地方可以消磨一個週未。當地的同事則跟我們說不用擔心,可以去可口可樂世界,還有水族館和CNN總部,要賞花有植物園,可以到outlet mall血拼一番,又可以去亞特蘭大鷹隊主場欣賞一場NBA比賽,不會悶的。結果大伙兒決定到可口可樂世界和佐治亞水族館參觀。
Beginning of last year, colleagues from different parts of the world met at our Atlanta office for two weeks. We from APAC didn't know where to go during weekend, but our local colleagues ensured us we won't feel bored as there are World of Coca- Cole, aquarium, CNN HQ, Botanical Garden, OutLet mall and the Atlanta Hawks NBA team. We finally decided to spend our Saturday on World of Coca-Cola and Georgia Aquarium.
星期六一早我們便到了彭伯頓廣場,兩個景點的所在地。第一個要參觀的當然是別處看不到的可口可樂世界!
Saturday early morning we arrived Pemberton Place where the two attractions located. Our first target was where could only be found there, World of Coca-cola!
一開始便見到可口可樂發明者,彭伯頓的銅像。
First thing to welcome us was statue of inventor of the world's most famous drink, Dr. John S. Pemberton.
連資訊中心都很可口可樂!
A very Coca-cola type of information counter.
可口可樂世界是一個關於可口可樂的博物館。買過門票便可進場。
We bought tickets and then entered this museum that showcase everything about Coca-cola.
時間尚早,排隊的人龍還未出現。
There was no lines yet as it was still early.
進了等待區,原來有免費可樂派呀。一人一支,可以選擇喜歡的包裝或味道。
There was one free bottle of your choice of coke at the counter inside waiting area.
拿過免費可樂,仍未可以進入大堂,就在這裏先看看這些巨型可樂瓶!
After getting the free bottle of coke, we still not allowed to get in. So we spent time on the huge coke bottles.
終於可以入內了,但是原來還有一個房間。在這裏先有一名工作人員介紹這裏的設施。不過所有人的注意力都是在房間入面的展覽品,能聽到多少資訊?這可難說。
Inside was another showroom where a staff trying to feed you information of the museum. However, attentions of the group were in fact all on the exhibits. How much information they received, well who cares.
過了這房間就是大堂了。
We finally got to the main lobby.
我選擇了先去參觀金庫,聽說可口可樂的秘方就藏在入面!
I decided to visit the Vault. Rumors said that the secret recipe of Coca-cola stored here.
保安看來相當嚴密!
Seems highly secured.
原來入面記載了可口可樂的歷史。
History of Coca-cola was covered here.
看過歷史之後,就到了金庫中的寶庫。秘方一定在入面!可惜不能打開呀。
After reading all the history of Coke, I arrived where the secret recipe should be. But I could even touch it.
可惡,花了那麼多時間,一點收穫也沒有。很累了。還是在這酒吧休息一陣。下次再繼續為大家介紹這個可樂世界吧。
I felt tired after failing to get the recipe. Why don't we take a break at this bar and contiune next time for more World of Coca-cola!
