台北自助旅行感想 A trip to Taipei

我會一直記得士林區一家小小成衣店的北投女孩;九份那裡路口一家衣服店那好心的阿嬤;在陽明山常常一起喝茶,塞給我們牛軋糖的一群伯伯嬸嬸;帶我們去竹子湖,一定要我們去看雪山隧道,請我們喝高山茶的汪哥王姐;大安區郵局裡幽默敬業的,一直為我們的郵包擔心個不停的工作人員⋯⋯還有很多很多人。到台北,最大的感受是人與人之間的一股熱忱。對我而言,這次的旅程,不在於到過多少個地方,去過多少的旅遊勝地,而是我窺探到當地的生活,感受到另一層的美,雖然只有一點點。我所想的自助旅行應當如此,不用擔心耽擱別人的行程,不用到了一個地點匆匆而過,或走馬看花,或拍了個照就走。可以悠悠哉哉地尋花探草,每天訂一個小任務、小目的,然後慢慢走,慢慢看,慢慢感受,不急不躁。偶爾跟路過的小朋友笑一笑,跟買麥香紅茶的阿嬤說,天氣涼,辛苦了。

對我而言,自助旅行應該是一個可以感受當地文化,了解人與事,聽聽當地的故事的一個旅程。

Counting the blessing that I have received during the trip in Taipei. I can say that there are still beautiful people in this world. Don't just being disappointed on humans while looking some bad stuff that they have done, because there are still helpful people spreading kindness to others, even the animals. I believe in the law of attraction, and I believe the most in God. This trip is not about how many places that I have been. It is about the local taiwanese spirit, their story, their feeling and themselves.
