Be a backpacker

The history to be a backpacker for me started around 4 years before.
I just traveled in San Francisco for 10 days.
The first time to share a room with other 5 strangers was quite an experience.
In the beginning, I always worried that my stuffs will have high posibility to be stolen.
Ha~ However, I found out everyone in the room had that concern too.
People have so many different ways to prevent their property, like hiding somewhere or bringing their own locker, or even hiding those things under their pillow when they sleep.

Look back those trips, the most exciting one still be the Indian one.
This country is far special than I imagine.
You can meet the kindest or worst person in the same day.
When you meet a nice taxi driver, you will think everyone in this country are your friends.
At that moment, you will be really easy to be cheated by other one.

I just draw that funny picture to explain what equipments you should wear when you are trying to be a backpacker.
But those stuffs are specially for the travelers in some developing countries in summer.
Ha! Just take a look~
And this page is designed for one high school in SueiLi.
There will be 2 days scouts camp held there.
They invited me to have a small speech to share with them some experiences abroad.
It's quite a chance for me to recall and think it again.
I guess that will be a great chance for them and me to review those photos and memories. :)

About the question, "Where is it?," for now~ it's easy for you to know where it is.
Ha!
But if you can tell me where are the two pictures below~
That will be quite a challenge! Hey~

心の無障礙



Please read my post in Australia first.
To make it short, I met a Japanese who came across an accident when he was 17.
And he still has a positive attitude to face the life.
Guess what! He set up a goal which is visiting 100 countries in his life.
He came back from Greenland two months ago.
Yes! He did it! He finally visited the 100th country in his life.
It only took him less than 20 years!
I am so happy for him!

And he just visited Taiwan again to promote his new book!!!
Ha! We, Taiwanese really love him, isn't it?!
Anyway~ I will go to buy this book as I came back to Taichung this weekend!
Ha! Hope he can come to Dili to visit those kids when he come to Taiwan next time.
It's even better to do that before I leave here!

Starkreisen



現在是德國時間凌晨1:21分

看來應該是上床睡覺的時間囉...

不過可能是伏冒熱飲的因素

或是太多事情等著我去做的壓力(自己給的~我想~因為我愛拖...)


但我猜主要原因是我看了"午夜快車 澤木‧耕太郎 著"中其中一段話

讓我實在心非常有戚戚焉呀!!


先敘述一下前因後果~

作者一路從伊朗的麥什德準備前往德黑蘭

在路上坐上一班全為嬉皮的巴士~

突然心有所感...

以下為原文:


乘客幾乎都是在印度、尼泊爾或是阿富汗做完奔放之旅要返回歐洲的年輕人。

沒有人歸心似箭,反而覺得越快回去、青春的歲月就越快遠颺。

雖然那些日子未必都是自由甜美,多半是苛酷的,

然而依但失去的時間逼近時,又覺得珍貴的不得了。

在故鄉等待的只是「正經的生活」。

那雖然也不壞,但自己能否回歸那種生活?

不能說沒有一點懷疑。

即使能夠回歸,是否也真受得了「正經的生活」呢......。


入冬的德國

真的給他有夠冷...

我的暖氣又似乎有些故障...

一直很不喜歡去找那個只會說大聲德文的Mr. Happy Hausemeister...(擔心講也講不通)

這才有激發一些文采的機會吧....


差點忘記介紹這個新Blog的名字

Starkreisen = Stark + Reisen (Deutsch) = Strong Travel (English) = 壯遊 (中文)
我會慢慢回憶我過去這兩個月在德國等地的回憶點滴...

像澤木先生看齊...

他真的太厲害了... Su Go I!
