想查查看我到底有沒有去過Geneva 跟 Lucern, 於是翻了我的旅行日誌和記錄, 結果我真的去過 Geneva, 搭火車去Rigi 時經過Lucern. 我還發現我去過 Chateau de Chillon, 在網頁上這個城堡在光影中是這樣美麗

我想起旅程中的點點滴滴, 也想起鄭華娟有首歌叫 ”漂泊的心停留在基隆港”, 所有的故事, 我不僅希望有人說, 更希望將來的旅行總有人在我身邊, 分享一切看到的, 聽到的, 我不再想一個人旅行….

昨天原定的郊遊活動取消, 所以晚上去行天宮圖書館看電影, 這裡每週六晚上會放電影or小型音樂會, 也有很多設計類的原文書, 光是室內設計的當期雜誌就有近10本, 當初就是室內設計的同學到這來借書才會認識這間圖書館

 

心中的小星星是一部印度電影, 一個活潑的小三男孩, 已被留級一次, 他不寫功課, 成天鬧事, 考試0分考卷還扔給狗撕掉, 轉眼間又要被留級, 爸爸迫不得以只好把他送到boarding school, boarding school 管教嚴厲, 小孩被罵更嚴重還被打, 他變的什麼也不說, 什麼也不作… 直到年輕的代課美術老師因為曾有相同經歷, 直覺這個小孩在崩潰邊緣, 才發現這小孩有讀寫障礙, 幫助他認字,  發現他的繪畫天份, 建立自己的信心, 小孩從此脫胎換骨..

 

其實我想說的是心理機轉, 小朋友覺得挫折, 別人會的他為什麼學不會, 乾脆不寫作業就不必說自己怎麼就是不會, 滿肚子的氣讓他在學校,跟別的小孩之間都出現問題. 老師跟爸媽都認為他是不認真, 不聽話, 卻不知道他真的學不會, 不知道別的家長來complain其實是他家的小孩先動手, 本來在家淘皮導蛋還可以發洩, 到了boarding school 這樣也不行, 連叛逆的權利都被撥奪.

 

我们認為理所當然的事, 並不是對每一個人都是理所當然......

回家, 一個台灣浪子找愛的故事_東方比利, 謝其濬

本來約了是去小巷亭, 記得小巷亭很”ㄔㄡ ㄒ一ㄡ”, 有那麼點意興闌珊, 天氣真的很熱, 沖完澡沒感覺比較清涼, 穿上小外套感覺上像穿了一件大外套

 

6:30 到了捷運集合地點, 小巷亭主辦人沒去過, 我和另一個女生去過, 捷運站離圓環還有點距離, 我和幾個人騎摩拖車, 其他人走路散步去, 因為騎摩拖車比較快, 還逛了一間服飾店, 要找大熱天可以在外面跑又整齊好看的衣服真是不容易

 

到了小巷亭, 大夥覺得人很多要排隊不想吃了, 決定轉戰三位食堂, 即使要等一小時, 突然覺得有點可惜, 上次在小巷亭吃晚飯是在10幾年前剛畢業3,4年的時候, 記得當時自己還穿著套裝, 跟山隊的朋友一起吃飯, 歷歷在目, 真是懷念

 

到三味食堂時是7:30, 已經有一個人落跑, 夥計登記後叫我們8:50再回來, 常經過這附近, 都沒去祖師廟, 走了3分鐘逛逛祖師廟, 廟小小的, 拜完我還是不知道是拜哪個神, 去圖書館吹冷氣看雜誌, 小小圖書館書有點舊, 一開始覺得很奇怪為什麼這間圖書館只有兒童書籍, 搞了半天才知道原來大人的書在樓上, 不過一個小時, 我還是看了半本”兒童文學名著-茶花女”, 最近看卡列卡斯自傳, 提了很多歌劇名, 小時候肯定看過, 早忘光了, 茶花女瑪格莉特在養病時認了一個公爵乾爹, 乾爹要她乖乖在家, 要像個公爵的女兒, 不要像以前一樣每晚趴趴走, 本來她真的乖乖聽話每天在家, 後來公爵說不能常來看她, 也不能跟別人說是他女兒, 怕影響他的名聲, 瑪格莉特心想那這算甚麼, 乾脆就不要了, 回到原來的生活…..

 

8點40回到三味食堂, 所有人都已吃了一點東西, 只有我還是空腹, 後來想想他們應該是很累了, 在附近走走逛逛又跑來跑去的, 一直抱怨還要再等, 早知就早早翹頭, 因為我一路騎摩拖車, 又在圖書館吹冷氣休息, 即使肚子空空, 也還是氣定神閒, 還可以維持風度的笑, 9點終於坐上桌點菜吃飯, 吃不到一小時大家就吃飽回家了…

 

7個人點了很多道菜, 每人花了$300, 算便宜, 好吃嗎? 其實還不錯啦. (這樣的 comment 實在..太過簡單)

 

結果花的$300裡最貴的是我不能吃沒點的手卷$120, 早知道就不分其他人瓜分我的饅魚飯… 不過我這麼認真吃, 是不會吃虧… 不知道其他人有沒有客氣沒吃飽就是了  

 

p.s. 三味食堂:  長沙街2段 116 號, 可以先到場登記人數和手機no., 夥計會告訴你何時回來, 再等個幾分鐘就行

 

後記:

昨晚才發現, 弟弟買的烏龍麵/炒飯/sasimi是三味食堂的.... 原來我们已經吃了很久他们的便當, 難怪名字這麼熟, sasimi 以前很大片, 我是覺得小片一點吃起來比較好吃

 

昨晚聽巴奈唱歌, 大大個子聲音輕柔, 加上唱的第1,2首歌正符合我現在的心情, 差點眼淚掉下來

 

標題是巴奈的都蘭的風, 但有很多特別來賓上台, 特別喜歡其中一首有很多原住民來賓合唱的部份, 讓我想起以前爬山時最喜歡聽男生一起唱山歌那種感覺, 還有都蘭長老(酋長?)夫婦唱歌跳舞, 上次胡德夫說故鄉的原住民都是傍晚時坐在田中吃完飯休息就隨意唱起歌來, 如果當場在那, 應該很棒, 不知是否市面上有現場收音的專輯? (好是好, 但這樣的專輯要賣錢似乎不太容易)

 

還認了Nabu, 人很像是10年前在布農部落裹著石膏的壯壯又很好看的大個子, 結果真是, 不知是不是之前有遇過, 這個月準備晉陞用的照片時, 又把我们當時和Nabu 的照片仔細看了一下, 當時的我臉色真好, 光亮亮的, 同行的E小姐和好友姐妹花現在已然鬧翻, E小姐也變的怪的很, 當時姐妹花喜歡人總是直接的用崇拜的眼神說出來, 黏在他们身邊, 我和秀珍(可能只有我)一方面覺的真是好像有點三八 (花痴是她们自己說的喔), 一方面又覺的羨慕, 這樣直接又熱情的表達是我们作不出來的

 

Nabu他現在在巴奈的團裡作行政, 每個禮拜都在市區或是都蘭的海邊團練(好想去海邊聽他们練習…), 他說今天他们要參加金曲獎, 這次入圍的專輯是第一張全是台東人, 在台東錄製的唱片, 還提到6/28 在紅樓前有反核廢料在台東的簽名活動, 台東只有23萬人耶, 這麼大的地…. 雖然我也覺的核廢料倒在台東不好, 但是要倒到那裡去呢??

 

Mica  你的朋友雷光夏有去ㄡ, 我不知道是那位.. 

 

一直以為威爾史密斯是一個喜劇演員, 直到看到這部片才開始注意到他除了喜劇之外的部份

其實看這部電時, 我覺得挺感動的, 尤其是爸爸騙小孩躲恐龍躲在廁所過夜, 也許是心酸加上害怕被發現踢出去沒地方過夜, 坐在地上掉眼淚...

戲裏的爸爸面對困境卻仍能以幽默的態度來面對

想想自己其實很幸運, 即使曾經落到一無所有, 卻不必擔心沒地方住

想想自己雖然一直很努力, 其實從未真正放下自己的自尊與驕傲, 單純的全力以赴; 總是認為別人應該要能夠看得到自己是什麼樣的人, 不屑刻意爭取別人的認同

套句戲裡的對話, at this stage of my life, it is called " confusion "

The question and the noise - Is it worthy?  Can I make it?

 

滑雪日誌  < ---日誌太長, 請看

 

6年前, 有張免費機票可以去東京, 我想去滑雪, 但實在不知道那裏可以去滑雪, 網路上找到Redteeth 到長野志賀高園,/住丸池的記錄, e-mail 問他價錢, 結果對一向住YH 的我來說實在很貴, 我到了東京之後, youth Hotel 的人叫我去白樺湖, 比較近, 也有youth hotel, 所以後來我去了白樺湖,, 白樺湖的旅程是特別的, 對當時十分沮喪的我, hotel 的人即使不會講英文, 卻讓我覺的很溫暖, 還會幫我找便車去比較遠的雪場, 尤其是我自己一個人聽到ganbadai 時特別感動, 
 
6年之後, 我又有機會去日本, 我仍然記Redtteth 和丸池, 在網路上找了半天找到去丸池的方法和連絡方式, 他還是一樣的貴, 但是我想算了吧, 又不會因此破產, 就去了, 就像Redteeth說的, 它又方便又溫暖, 另人難忘

 

丸池的人問我怎會來這, 他们只有日文網站, 於是我說了故事… 

聽說幾個朋友塵埃落定, 有了歸宿 (男男女女囉), 心裡想, 遊戲人生也有累了倦了的時候, 遇到了對的人, 就是了

他们真是遊戲人生嗎?  不對不對, 我想他们一直是依照自己的生活方式, 信仰和感受, 認真的過生活

遊戲人生 - 什麼事都可以是一場遊戲, 工作, 生活, 戀愛, 吃喝玩樂, 結婚, 生小孩,  家庭, 交朋友

日子不停的過, 我们玩的遊戲, 想要的遊戲一直隨著我们的心改變, 此路不通也要換條路走

曾經後悔過作錯選擇, 作錯事, 但是, 我们所作的選擇, 作的事, 永遠遵循的是"當時" 心的方向

只要提醒自己, 埋首專心時, 要抬起頭來, 用心看看我们有沒有疏乎了/忘了/掉了心的一部份

遊戲永不停止, 不論有多難, 永遠有機會再繼續玩

 

Do you still remember you said this is your one of your favorite song?

You asked if I like the lyrics. Yes, I do.

Replay the song hundred times but you never know

Thought it is an old song

Bought the album yesterday and found the singer is young

Wonder how come never asked about anything but listening…

If you can hear me, tell me how are you

Hot and sunshine!  

 

Take the bus to Hanauma Bay. Pretty seaside w/reef! (but no coral) Rent gogle/snorkel/fins. I hated snorkel. 1^st 10 minutes were kind of bad and panic. So, just lay there and get tanned. 2^nd time it is great. With this kind of shallow water, it is great to see a lot of fishes of different species. They look a little bit big but underwater everything is bigger so I don’t know their actual size. Today the sun is really hot. But the water is so cold that I tremble after 30 minutes and have to get up from the water.

 

The last bus returned to the city at 5:45. There was a couple from States with 2 kids. The kids are cute. They travel by bus and are going to the sea paradise after here. See, there are different kind of methods to travel. By car, it will take either 1 day or 1 week to see and have fun at the shore. The Korean girls tour around for a month at different seashores…

 

In the evening, went Moana Surfrider for the singing. Some guy from US but worked here on contract  joined and talked with me so I didn’t really pay too much attention on the songs. The bar tender mistook we’re together so bill everything together..

 

Well, this is the end of my Hawaii story and journal. Got to pack and go…

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a beautiful day. Sunshine. (but I didn’t really go out..)

 

And this morning, I woke up at 8 and went directly to the bike shop. He said he did go looking but he stopped by a point which is only 300 meter far and in front of the tunnel, according to him, it was after 6 so he cannot drive in further across the tunnel. I'm happy that yesterday  I didn't keep waiting until 8, still nobody there and crying tears into basin. Last night I was wondering if I had problem to trust people and didn't wait till the last moment. But now, it seems I was right to leave. Look how bad I felt about myself and miserable, wondering what's wrong with me last night!  Frankly speaking, I feel much much better after knowing the truth.. 

 

If I trust myself better, I would not wait for one minute and get a ride directly back from the ticket office. If I trust myself better, I would not leave cable key of the bike hang on without lock and then lost it on the way. If I'm doing it by myself, I shall be very cautious and undestand whatever the bike's problem in advance. We shall always trust others' good intention  but at which point, shall we listen to ourselves instead of others?  For me, always very confusing.

 

The shop people, Frank?, said I can get a refund OR keep riding today as long as I want. And he said DON'T  WORRY ABOUT THE BIKE, they'll pick it up. But definitely I'll have to pay $30 for the cable key or buy them back a new one. Larry came to the shop too. He said he felt he is partially responsible for this and would pay $ 10 to cover part of my loss. I said no, it is my fault anyway.Then, he said all right, then I would pay you $5 for a pack of cigarette and then I take it. Frank doesn't seem worried the bike could be throw out of the ticket office and I had to reminded him to ask their people to pick up quick.  

 

I was very tired, back to hostel for breakfast first. One hr later, I went back to the bike shop for refund and he said they went but didn't find the bike at the ticket office. ...

 

I'm worried and he is worried too. Finally I go with another driver.  We get there and the bike is right behind the ticket office.  

 

On the way back, I beg the driver drop me by the store to buy cable lock on the way... The driver was actually making fun of me, 1st said he said he had to rush back to his job, he is not driver but a mechanism, fixing a car half way and got called here and no time to drive me.... and after bought the lock, I found I was back in the original bike shop near the hotel. He is a funny guy.

 

The shop guy offered a free bike ride ticket for next trip one hr ago. After refund, I asked and he asked me "are you back to Hawaii again?" and said " I guess we're even now".  It's true I don't really need the ticket but we're not even.. It is a lot of time waiting, feeling frustrated and sleepless!  

 

Sleep whole day but couldn't really fell into sleep. At 5, woke up and writing diary. Suddenly, I found today is 29, but not 28. So, I shall fly the day after tomorrow on Sunday instead of Monday?

 

Have to cancel my scubadive tomorrow then.  Laughing at myself, the hotel counter, an Argentinian college boy, said " you're not late, you're on Hawaiian time " and said this is exactly the Hawaii spirit. Suddenly I feel great and every mess become interesting…

 

Haven’t been to the local dancing performance yet. Didn’t find the free local dance show, But I did find a good show at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, just at the beach side. Drinking Lava and watch the Hawaiian princess and warrior dance from the Pacific island countries. People are cheering up for the dancer. It is really pleasant. Unfortuately my camera didn’t work very well to catch the image at night. Spirit up. Walk back to the hostel, I find along the way, there are a lot of nice shops and International Market Place to shop. It seems not necessary to bring much cloth since there are nice tropical dress to buy! HaHa. I don’t like shopping too much but I do enjoy shopping to see the nice stuff. ..

 

Tomorrow will be my last full day in Hawaii. Until now, I feel wa there is not enough time to dive, watch whale, fishing maybe, sail, not enough suntan and swim…What to do tomorrow?

 

 

Good day, Sunshine

 

3 old ladies asked about the direction to the hotel clinic.  While I walked upstairs, the cute guy from the counter was going to ask upstairs too. He is nice too. Not so confident with my sense of direction, I walked with them to the hotel.  The ladies said many thanks and hugged me...

 

Larry said he is going to Diamond Head, where I was planning to go by bus. So, I just rush to rent a bike to go with him. It was a hard ride uphill (took around half an hr from Waikiki)-- it is not that steep, how come it goes so slow and so hard?

 

Finally got to the Diamond Head crator ticket office. Found the cable key of bike is missing somewhere.  Walking trail/stairs up around 1hr10m.  On top of Going top of Diamond, the sea/hills/building and the tunnel we rode up are all there, the view is nice. You can even see people snorkel at sea. Unfortunately, no whale is spotted. The dive shop girl said she saw whale the other day here. To catch up with Larry’s time to return his bike, we go down in a hurry in 20 minutes to the ticket office. Then, I found my bike is flat-tired!  I told Larry I’ll find someway to take a ride back and he can hurry to go down. But Larry called and said the truck will come up in 20 minutes. Waited and waited till 6pm, park closing hr. The truck didn’t come and I had to put bike in the office and take a ride back. The ride asked why your friend didn't make sure the truck is coming... well. what can I say? We only met this afternoon. I do not want to ask a person I know not long to give up their leisure for my trouble... What if it is a close friend of mine? I could yell and ask why there is no truck coming.....  Maybe I was not that desperate and panic to ask for help! 

 

After return, Larry said he did say the truck is coming but not in 20 minutes. He said "he has to be back in 20 minutes" ... 

 

So frustrated and I said I will not come to Hawaii again.

 

Stood up for a dinner appointment, even I was waiting, doing laundry and talking at the same time. 

 

Ater all these, I couldn't sleep whole night at all. Feeling so bad..

Leaving for North shoare late evening and expect to arrive around sunset time. (well, i'm not a surfer, so.)

 

Unfortunately, wrong estimation and I arrive at 7:30 pm – the sun already set and there is no café, no restaurant, totally dark and only toilet near the seashore!

 

But the wave, the sound, and 10 minues gleaming stars full of sky…..

 

A place which is so modern and lost all the native feature. Now it seems Hawaii is just a place with good atmosphere and weather. You travel all over the world and most big cities and many places looks so similar. But maybe nobody want to stay the way it was?   The bus driver said he miss the Hawaii 40 years with no highway, not so many people but he also said the whole wold is changing in this way.

 

The ride--- The conversation:

M: Are you hot?

F:   What do you mean by “ HOT”?

M:  Do you smoke?

F: Malboro

M: I mean pod, Marowana/Harsh…

F: Few times. When others smoke and offered

M: Do you get ..like Cocaine,…

F: No. They’re not good stuff, why trying it. You got addiction. Do you?

M: Yes. Where is your husband?

F: I’m not married

M: Would you like to be with me?

F: No. I am not interested in being with somebody taking Cocain…

M: I won’t do that if I’m with you

F:  You have to be a better person. I won’t help you with that.

M: Where do you stay?

F: Waikiki Youth Hostel

M: You can take me home and take advantage of me.

F:  I don’t know how to do that. Normally others take me home and take advantage of me

M: If you take advantage of me, I won’t scream or yell..

F: That would be no fun.  

M: I thought you’re going to take me home and take advantage of me. If I knew you’re not, I will leave you there on the beach and won’t give you a ride.

F:  Please never mind. You know I’m just making fun of you.

 

Am I mean to a person who do not have really bad intention, seeing sb waiting for the bus and giving a ride voluntarily? Even the conversation itself is really weird but he did no harm.

 

 

 

Going Big Island for volcano!

Good day, hot, sunshine

Got up 4:00 in the morning, spent $300 to join a trip to go to another island to see volcano....

 

   However, we didn't see any "real" eruption or lava, only smoke. Very disappointed..   $300 for an nice outing and picnic is really too expensive for me. The return flight schedule was changed and we waited 3 hrs to fly back to the main island, arrived at hotel at 10 pm and I missed my dinner appointment. Strange thing is nobody care except me???   .. 

 

   Well, the Japanese style garden we pass through is pretty, the orchid garden is really nice. We also visited the Hawaii Almond? Nut factory. We did see the volcano crator with gas.. (but we have a lot of volcano gas back home too....- and with hot springs) The Aussie couple said their friend, in group,  is going to Negao/Japan for ski on Feb. 2, well, I'm going exactly on the same day!

 

   The air is sometimes poluted by the volcano gas, depending on the wind.

 

 

Cloudy, Raining from 4pm

 

Pearl harbour is still a military base and not open. Only limited area with museum, the Missouri memorial battleship, submarine and the park are open.

 

Maybe walk around and see the battleship? However, many people bought Bowfin ticket and the kids (others' of course) want to the submarine. So, I join the sumarine team. At 1st sight, the submarine is so small. well, it is not a huge one. Inside the submarine is pretty interesting. Crowded with machines, meters, generator, beds/rest. tables/kitchens are so jammed. The audio says eating is very important for the crew since there is no entertainment at all so the menu is all reviewed and approved byt the captains. They have some 4-5 meals each day, also with ice cream!

 

The 1st few years I flew, being youg and fresh, the long hrs and the narrow seat never bothers me and  I was always very happy to eat, meal after meal. Such a good apertite.

 

An old Aussie couple said they sail from Melbourne for 6 months till now, travelled thought NZ. They live on boat and are going to Seattle, central America, ... and then back to Australia. Still 2 years to go!  They said this is their retirement gift. I envy that and wish someday I will be able to do the same thing..... - even it seem dangerous a little bit.  

 

On the bus back, bus driver told me the ticket she gave me is valid for 2 hrs. So, it is a transport ticket. We didn’t spend one minute looking at the bus ticket and paid everytime until now…Bus ticket at $2. 4 days ticket available at $ 20

 

Since I have bus ticket, drop myself off at China Town for food. It is like derserted, no shops open and nobody.. Wa! Today is Chinese New Year so everybody is home resting. Fortunately a Kuangtong restaurant is open. Big Bowl of rice soup 皮蛋瘦肉粥. This is a nice small place to eat... Called mom to say happy new year!

 

 

Warm and sunshine

 

Went shopping with Y at Walmart and the store, Ross?, across the street for cloth. Why am I shopping?  I’m not interested in and cannot buy anything since my luggage is full already (few days later I found it is not a big problem anyway, you can always buy an extra bag to load them). Am I too nice? What the hell. It is a vacation and I didn’t have specific things to do. Whatever comes along.

 

Checked out of the hostel - I was kicked out of my bed because I didn't pay in advance and - before checkout time. I was not so happy with this and directly checked out to next door hostel and had to move again next morning. What a trouble I bring to myself just because I am not happy to be in another room for one night!

 

Funny thing:

Y need to leave midnight at 3:30, catching shuttle to the airport. At 3:30, accoding to “some” alarm o’clock in my room, I couldn’t sleep, go downstairs for smoking. Happening to find Y downstairs, an airport shuttle at front, I said it seems to be 3:30 and you need to go now. The hotel o’clock show 1:00 and it was a little bit confusing but Y said the hotel clock must be wrong. We moved all her luggage down. And then we found it is 1:00 but not 3:30!!! ….We had to move everything upstairs again since front desk said we couldn’t keep it there.... .. Exactly where is at 3:30?

 

Suntan/Shopping

Warm, sunshine

 

Breakfast at 930 but go out at 3pm for swim and suntan. Monday is Chinese New Year. So, there is a celebration tonight at Chinatown. I didn’t really want to go shopping. So, Y  went Chinatown together with me so we can go shopping at Walmart for exchange.

 

The celebration in Chinatown is not too much but with Dancing Dragon and Tiger, drumming. Crowded with a lot of stands, food mostly, a lot of people are standing eating. We tried to find the very cheap place to eat as Y mentioned but took half an hr to find it in an alley, with a lot of food from other countries.  

 

Y bought so many gifts at Walmart. Suddenly I realized Y couldn’t shop alone. I am one of the 2 carrier now.

 

After bottle of Lemonade and beer at the balcony,  she want to go dancing. So, we went to the Surfer’s bar "LULU" but there is no dancing. The screen usually plays sports are now playing the Japanese comic, In The Heat Of The Sun (神隱少女), which I like a lot! After closing at 2, we went for Red Lion for dancing and left at closing at 4. Went McDonald for food and now it is breakfast meal time...

-- 神隱少女的英文名子怎麼這麼怪?

 

At Red Lion, I found some pretty ladies from my country, dancing around some guy. I feel sorry for them. They deserve better than that.
