[歐洲 波蘭華沙 Europe Warsaw Poland] Day 32 Show must go on 不捨得也要向前走

最後一天在華沙打算到Vodka Factory 走走,我預期的Vodka Factory 是跟台北華山1914創意文化園區或北京798藝術區差不多,但事實那兒只是一個沙塵滾滾名副其實的棄置工廠。資訊中心關門,保安說我們可以隨便走走,這裡地方很大,有小量壁畫,紅磚牆很有特色。這一區跟市中心大大不同,情況如尖沙咀和深水埗的分別,居民、環境、商店、人種反映這一區應該是低層人士集中地。四周有很多壁畫,又令我想起倫敦和東倫敦的時光。
The last day in Warsaw,  we will walk around the Vodka Factory.  I expected the Vodka Factory is like the Taipei HuaShan 1914 or the Beijing 798 Arts Zone.  But the Vodka Factory is really an abandoned dusty factory.  The information centre is close,  but the security guard said we could still walk around.  There are plenty of space with a few murals on the building wall.  The red brick wall made the factory more artistic. This district is obviously different from the other part of Warsaw.  It is like Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po. From the people, environment, shops and ethnics,  you could tell this area is concentrated with low level citizens.  The murals around reminded me London East and London down town.

[歐洲 波蘭華沙 Europe Warsaw Poland] Day 31 German & HK Birthday Celebration Various 德國與香港慶生大不同

早上跟Gus 商量今天的行程,之前我們坐巴士經過一個國立圖書館,外面放著幾隻不同顏色的大鐵馬,不是警察的電單車或是街上用來分隔路面的圍欄,而是真真正正的具型鐵造飛馬。我一直想去拍照,但一直沒有機會,怎料Gus說其實他也想到那兒走走!太好了!我們真的有那麼夾嗎?我真的越來越喜歡這個旅伴,之後日子沒有他,我只能唱“如果沒有你,日子怎麼過...”來懷念跟他一起的日子。
I discussed with Gus the itinerary today. We passed the National Library a few time when we took the bus. The giant colorful iron horses attracted me a lot but we cannot manage to visit there and have some photos. I was unexpected that Gus noticed the same thing and wanted to go there too. Awesome!! What a coincidence. Gus is a very nice travel buddy which I like him a lot. I can’t imagine my time without him in the rest of the trip. I won’t be use to without his caring and detail minded.

[歐洲 波蘭華沙 Europe Warsaw Poland] Day 30 Skip the fare failure + Birthday Surprise 霸王車被捉 + 生日驚喜

Moritz和我吃了乳酪玉米片當早餐,但Gus & Gilbert 沒有興趣。Gus說他不喜歡這種玉米片,而乳酪對他來說是甜品,所以他不會在早上吃甜品。而Gilbert期待著到波蘭快餐店Milk Bar 吃一頓大餐。
Moritz and I had cereal with yogurt for breakfast,  while Gus & Gilbert ate nothing.  Gus said that he doesnt like this cereal and yogurt to him is a dessert. So he would not eat dessert in the morning.  Gilbert waited for a great meal in Milk Bar which is a poland type fast food shop.

[歐洲 波蘭華沙 Europe Warsaw Poland] Day 29 Cyring Panda 哭泣的熊貓

早上6時已經起床收拾行裝。Moritz比我遲開始收拾,但居然用少於10分鐘便完成。
I woke up at 6am to pack my stuff.   Moritz started packing later than I did,  but he already finished packing in less than 10 minutes.
 
在到火車站的路上,經過一家鞋店,廚窗寫著" You're weird, but I (heart) you." 我完全覺得是在說我,立即對號入座,仿佛世界很美好,鹹魚白菜也好好味。
While we walked pass a shoes shop on the way to the train station. The slogan "You're weird, but I (heart) you." was written on the window. I immediately considered it was talking about me. The world is so beautiful and even water tasted sweet.

[歐洲 波蘭馬爾堡 Europe Malbork Poland] Day 27 Missing home 思鄉病發

由到達德國開始,我每天都會吃乳酪,有時一吃便是兩三杯,今早早餐也不例外。Moritz更自家制pancake 加料。我一直在香港都是買現成pancake粉加水做pancake, 但Moritz 就連pancake 粉也是自已混合而成,我真的佩服,如果要令pancake口感鬆化可以加有汽的水到粉漿。當我們以為昨天買的是有汽的樽裝水時,Moritz發現只是普通蒸餾水。有人提意用汽水,有人提意用普通水也沒關係,有人提意可以用啤酒,但Moritz通通否決。最後他想到用蛋白,其實用有汽的水原理是希望粉漿可帶有空氣使pancake鬆化,所以極速發打蛋白令也能使空氣混入做成同一效果。生活小智慧,又上了一課!
Since I arrived Germany,  I ate yogurt everyday.  Sometimes I ate several cups in one time.  So it is the same for today. Moritz prepared the homemade pancake as well. I bought the pancake powder pack in Hong Kong and mixed them with water for pancake. But Moritz used to make the pancake mixture on his own. I was really impressed by what he did. To make the pancake with better texture, we could add some sparkling water to the mixture. When we thought we got one in the supermarket yesterday, Moritz found that it was just pure distilled water. Some of us suggested to use soft drink, some of us suggested to use tap water and some of us suggested to use beer, but Moritz rejected all of them. He thought of using the egg white. To use the sparkling water is to fill the mixture with air, make it more like waffle; so beating the egg white in high speed can also have the same effect. This treat ease the daily life.

[歐洲 波蘭格但斯克 Europe Gdansk Poland] Day 26 Perfect Companion Combination 有默契的旅遊組合

雖然我跟Moritz的床相隔只有50cm,但感覺是全世界最遠的距離;雖然他整晚都在身邊,但閉上眼已經開始掛念他。
Although the distance between my bed and Moritz's was only 50cm, it felt like the farthermost distance in the world. Although he was next to my side, I missed him so much when I closed my eyes.

嘩!我自己也覺得好肉麻呀!!!但這是早上我醒來第一個感覺。
WOOOOW!! I myself also felt that too nausea to say it, but this is my first feeling waken in the morning.

[歐洲 波蘭甚切青 Europe Szczecin Poland] Day 25 We are in Poland!!! 我們到了波蘭啦!!!

跟Moritz都睡到很晚,Gus 和Gilbert已經把多日累積的啤酒樽拿超市回收,更準備好早餐。
Moritz and I slept late in the morning,  Gus & Gilbert had been to the supermarket to recycle the beer bottles and prepared the breakfast.

[歐洲 德國柏林 Europe Berlin Germany] Day 24 Teufelsberg Spy Station 魔鬼山監聽站

Spy Station位於柏林郊外的Teufelsberg,德文意思是魔鬼山。美軍在冷戰時期在這裡設置監聽站。在1992年之前沒有人能夠進入監聽站範圍。現在已經對外開放,需收取入場費。
Spy Station is located in Teufelsberg which is the suburb in Berlin. Teufelsberg means Devil's Mountain in German. The US set up the listening station here during cold war period. No one is allowed to enter the station until 1992. Now it is opened for public for visit ...for money!!

我們跟Panda約好在U-Bahn等然後一起步行上山。等待期間,Moritz又坐在椅子上。原來他由昨天開始每當走路或站立時,腹部會感到疼痛,所以有機會他就會坐下休息。由於我們需要走40分鐘才到山頂,我擔心他能否捱得著。
We scheduled to meet Panda at the U-Bahn station first, then we will walk to the mountain together. While we were waiting for Panda, Moritz sit on the bench again. He was having pain when he walked and stood since yesterday. This is also the reason why he kept taking rest whenever there is chair. I started worry about him since we are gonna walk for 40 minutes to the top of the mountain. I hope he will be fine.

[歐洲 德國柏林 Europe Berlin Germany] D23 Love as the First time 情竇初開

突然跟單身說再見真的是一件興奮的事情。我就變回了一個情竇初開的小女孩,找回初戀的感覺,在我眼中只看到他。整晚我都在問Moritz問題,把我一切的疑問統統提出。例如什麼時候開始你喜歡上我?為什麼知道將會是長途戀愛都決定跟我開始?上一次拍拖是何時?德國人或是外國人?當然有問你喜歡我什麼?相信這是女生最關心的一個問題,原因可以令到自已自high足一天。我就像偵察在找尋跟案件有關的線索,我需要知道所有有用的資料。Moritz很有耐性解答我所有問題。待我發問完畢感到疲倦,終於睡覺已經是清晨5時。
Saying goodbye to my single life all of a sudden,  I honestly felt so excited.  I became a little girl fell in love like the first time,  everything  in your eyes are him!  I kept asking Moritz questions all night long.  For example,  When did you realize you hit on me?  Why did you choose to start as it would be a long distance relationship which will be really tough?  When was your last girlfriend?  Are they German or not? Of cos I asked him What do you like about me? I believed this is what every girl concern. The reason could make themself happy for the whole day. I was like a detective to find out all the information related to the case.   I needed to know everything useful.  Moritz was very patient to tell me whatever I was interested.  It was already 5am when we finally went to sleep.

[歐洲 德國柏林 Europe Berlin Germany] Day 22 I LOVE BERLIN 我愛柏林

昨晚Moritz 脫衣驚魂原來只是他的習慣,覺得這樣睡覺比較舒服。從小到大,我爸爸和哥哥都不會這樣做,歐洲人真是開放!
It is Moritz habit to take off the clothes to sleep at night, he found it is more comfortable. Even since I grew up, my dad and brother would not do that. European is quite open-minded.

今天的早餐相比我在香港星期一到五吃燕麥片加水,周未什麼都不吃豐富,枱上有乳酪、牛角包、多士、炒蛋、士多啤利,還有果汁米漿咖啡茶,根本沒有位再放其他餐具,我喜歡西式早餐,更喜歡大家坐在一起吃早餐!
The breakfast today was way better than those I had in Hong Kong. I had oatmeal with water in weekdays and nothing for weekend. We had yogurt, croissant, toast, scramble eggs, strawberry and juice, rice drink, coffe & tea on the table. They occupied all the space already and we cannot place the dining tools. I love western breakfast and even more to have breakfast with everyone together.

[歐洲 德國柏林 Europe Berlin Germany] Day 21 Travel Together 4人遊

想到終於跟Moritz見面,我突然緊張起來。上一次見面是差不多半年前,不知道大家變成怎麼樣呢?想到這兒,司機走過來跟我說,我要到附近酒店打印車票給他才能回來領取背包。我心想,你都已經收了我的手續費,真的有必要這麼堅持嗎?
I am going to meet Moritz again which made me nervous. Last time was about half a year ago, how did we changed so far? Meanwhile, the driver walked toward me and said, we will arrive very soon. He requested me to print him back the ticket in the nearby hotel, then I can come back to pick up my backpack. I wondered if why he insisted in it because he received my administration fee already.


[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 20 Extraordinary 。Erotic。Excited 詭秘。情色。驚險

早幾天Olivier提及過附近有條已荒廢的小村Doel,,由於政府打算重新規劃,要求居民搬遷,可惜最後規劃擱置,但那時已經人去留空,成為露宿者的居所、吸毒者的集中地和藝術家的天堂,所以又被稱為Ghost Town。Doel 附近就是核電廠,想起 切爾諾貝爾和日本褔島核電廠,令Doel 變成鬼城加添戲劇性。
A few days ago, Olivier mentioned an abandoned village, Doel nearby. Due to the new plan of the government, the residents in the village have to move out. However, the plan was put aside, but the village is already empty. It became the slum for homeless, a place for drug addict to gather and the paradise for artists. Therefore, it is also named Ghost Town. A nuclear power station is next to Doel which reminded me Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It made Doel as Ghost Town more convincing.

[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 19 Better travel far than to read voluminously 讀萬卷書不如行萬里路

大清早7:00便起床,因為昨晚Olivier說7:30我們便要出發往比利時南部,車程需要2.5小時,那兒近法國,所以主要語言是法語不是Flemish。結果真正起床吃過早餐,可以出門已經是8:30。我想Olivier是特意提早一點,方便預留3位女仕我、Noemi 和Sienna梳洗打扮。
We woke up at 7am this morning because Olivier scheduled to start the day at 7:30am to the Southern Belgium. It takes 2.5 hours and it is close to the border of France, that's why the official language there is French but not Flemish. Finally we left at 8:30 instead after we had all awake and had breakfast. I guess it is also as Olivier planned, he knew the three ladies - Noemi, Sienna and I needed time to dress up.


[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 18 Travel with Local, Explore more 跟當地人旅遊, 遊歷更多

Olivier 是一個有計劃的人,他也已經替我計劃好今天的行程。由於他要拜訪一位在Lier的客戶,離安特衛普30分鐘車程。
Olivier is a well-organized guy. He already planned what I could do today. He will bring me and Noemi to Lier, a town with 30mins distance from Antwerp, while he visited his client there.

[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 17 In touch with a celebrity 和明星的接觸

昨晚在睡房,突然有一個黑影在露台外閃過,然後有兩點圓點在外面,而且還是會反光。仔細看真,還有五官,外面太黑未能看清楚,但應該是一隻貓,一隻很詭異的貓,因為整夜牠都在外徘徊,看著我睡覺,不得已要把窗簾拉下。早上向Noemi提起,她說是鄰居的家貓,不時喜歡在露台走來走去,有時更隨處便溺,所以Olivier 不喜歡牠,露台窗永遠不會打開,防止牠走進來。
Last night, a shadow flashed outside the balcony. Then I saw two dots glistened. When I had a closer look, it happened to have the facial features. Although it was dark outside, I can still recognize it is a cat, a weird one. The cat was hovering outside the balcony the whole night and looked at me while I was sleeping. I have to pull down the blind to feel more secure. I talked to Noemi about that in the morning, she said it is the neigbour's cat. It likes to stay in the balcony at all the day and sometimes it will pee or poo everywhere. That's why Olivier doesn't like it and never open the window of the balcony to avoid it in.

[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 16 [Part 2 ] Passionate Belgian Host 熱情的比利時沙發主

思前想後,猶豫了一會,巴士仍然停滯不前,還是決定問巴士上的乘客借手機發短訊給沙發主。剛在法國有對香港夫婦上車,以為香港人去那裡旅行也會買電話咭,怎料他們說電話咭只能在法國用,其他國家不通用。車上乘客不多,在倫敦連我在内只有13人,停法國時走了幾個,可以選擇的乘客不多。這時我看到一位伊斯蘭式打扮的婦女拿出手機,心裡大叫:有救啦!然後想好台詞走向她的坐位,先以英式禮多人不怪擁長語句說:Excuse me,  Madam!  Im sorry to disturb you.  I have a situation and wondering if you could give a hand.  之後I would love to....It would be great.... 婦女一直留心聽我說,我便一直說:我沒有電話,想借電話通知朋友會遲到,我可以付錢給妳 。話別她說:對不起,我聽不懂。哎呀!!原來她是居於荷蘭,現在回家,手機也是荷蘭號碼。我嘗試撥打比利時號碼但未能接通,問她可以發短訊嗎,她說應該沒有漫遊,所以也行不通,心情又沉下來。回到坐位等待巴士再次前進,任由時間流逝,不時翻著手機,希望搜尋到wifi
A thorough consideration and hesitation,  while the bus was still stuck in the middle of the road,  I decided to borrow a phone from someone. A Hongkong couple got on the bus at the France stop,  I was actually expecting HKers will buy sim everywhere they travel,  but they just have a local France sim without roaming. There were not many passengers,  including me, only 13 passengers in London on board. I noticed an Islam dressed up lady who was holding a phone. I yelled loudly inside my heart: YES!!! Thought of the open line and went to her seat, starting with the British cliche: Excuse me, Madam! Im sorry to disturb you. I have a situation and wondering if you could give a hand, then "I would love to" ..."It would be great" in the following. The lady listened to me patiently so that I kept talking. It was unexpected that she will respond "Sorry, I don't understand." Aiya~~Later I learnt that she is from the Nertherlands and was heading back home. Her mobile is the Nertherlands' number. I tried to dail the Belgium number but it was not working. Therefore I asked if text is fine, she said there is no roaming, as a result that is not working neither. Again, feeling down and upset. I went back to my seat to wait the bus will go faster, let the time passed at a higher speed than the bus should have moved. Checking my phone occasionally to see if it could connect to wifi.

[歐洲 比利時安特衛普 Europe Antwerp Belgium] Day 16 [Part 1 ] Crossed the English Channel 橫渡英倫海峽

離開倫敦到歐洲大陸當然可以選擇飛機,亦可乘坐歐洲之星到法國,這是較多人選擇的方法。歐洲之星比較省時但相對也較貴,所以我是撘巴士橫渡英倫海峽。我兩個月前買了巴士票到比利時安特衛普,早鳥優惠的票價是£5。
To leave London to the Europe inland, of course plane is an option. Also, you may choose to take Eurostar to France which is the most popular way. It is a quicker way but relatively expensive. I chose to take the bus to across the English Channel and the reason is just because it is cheaper. I have bought my ticket to Antwerp two months ago, it was only £5 as early bird.

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 15 I Miss London?!?! 想念倫敦?!?!

昨晚睡得很好,今天很早起床,我買了9時去Bath的車票,打算去玩一天。先跟Bruno吃過早餐,8:30出發到Victoria Coach Station。由於地鐵要換綫所以選擇坐巴士,應該比較方便,但忘記了出門時間是上班繁忙時間,路面有點擠塞,在過橋前迴旋處就停了十分鐘才能駛過,眼見只淨下10分鐘時間,但才剛過橋,我開始有點心急,怕會趕不到巴士。向車上乘客查詢還有多久,他們說如果不擠塞很快便到達,可惜前路茫茫,我看不到車龍的盡頭,所以我決定下車跑到車站,希望可以趕到巴士。許多上班族從反方向走,我就像一條三文魚努力逆流而上,希望盡快到達我的目的地。到達車站時我已經上氣不接下氣,時間是9:02分,車己經開出,就是說我沒趕上巴士。
I had a good sleep last night. I woke up early in the morning because I will have a day trip to Bath and the bus leaves at 9am. I had breakfast with Bruno, it was 8:30am when I left. Because it needed to switch lines for the Tube, I chose to take the bus. It would be more direct, but I forgot it was rush hour in the morning. It happened there is serious traffic and the bus stuck at the roundabout for 10 mins before going through the bridge. There are 10 mins before the bus left. I started to feel tense and anxious and worrying if I would not catch the bus. I asked the passengers how much longer to Victoria Coach station. They said "soon if no traffic." However, I didn't see any sign the bus will be there soon as a lots of cars were ahead. I decided to get off and ran as fast as I could, hopefully I will be able to catch the bus at the last minute. Since many commuters were walking from the opposit direction, I was like a salmon swimming hard against the water flow to reach my destination. When I finally arrived at the bus station, I was almost breathless. Time was 9:02am, I was late and bus had left.

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 14 Marvel Treat from London 倫敦送來厚禮

「你找到了沙發主嗎?」收到一封來自沙發網的訊息。
「我住在倫敦眼附近。也許今晚我可以接待你。」
收到訊息真的令我很高興,沙發主也同意多接待我一晚,所以之後的日子我都不會留在Ciao家留宿。跟Ciao約好晚上7時在他公司倫敦大橋站交還他鎖匙。
" Did you find a host?" I received a message in CS inbox.
"I'm near London eye. Maybe I can host you tonight. "
It made me so excited and the host also agreed to let me stay for one more night which is the last night in London. I have to move out from Ciao's flat today, and also gave him back the key.  We scheduled to meet around 7pm at his workplace near London Bridge station.

Winter in Hong Kong 香港的冬天

新屋先生十一月會來香港,昨天我們談及要帶的行李時,他問要不要帶厚衣服,還說也許要帶一雙手襪。
Mr New Houses is coming to Hong Kong in November and he asked if he has to bring some warmth clothes with him. Being sarcastic, he said he has to bring the gloves too. 

事原他上次來港時是十二月,是他第一次來亞洲。十二月是香港的冬天。由於天氣很冷,我便叮囑他要帶厚衣服。我還說”這裡凍到震”。當我這樣跟他說時沒有意識到他是歐洲人,而那邊的冬天比香港更冷,香港的冬天相對來說只是秋天。由那天起,”天氣”變成了我們間的笑話。
Last time when Mr New Houses came to Hong Kong, it was December. It was the first time he came to Asia and it was Winter time. As it was cold in winter, I remind him to bring some warmth clothes with him. I even said “It is freezing here.” But I didn’t realize at that point he is European and  the winter in Europe is much colder, the winter in Hong Kong is just an Autumn for him. Since then, “weather” became a joke between us.

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 12 & 13 Explore London with low budget 省錢玩倫敦

不吃貴的不坐交通用走路,加上我最後一天會退回交通卡拿£5按金
所以應該問題不大,也許最後有多餘的錢可以吃大餐
Sum up the expense in London as at today:
I exchanged £250 cash and there is £20 left. The remaining money will be allocated to the upcoming 4 days which means £5/ day.

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 11 London Tube Day Pass 倫敦地鐵日票

仍然下著雨,但沒有像昨天一樣差,決定買地鐵全日票遊走倫敦。
It was still raining but not as bad as yesterday, I decided to use the day ticket and explore London.
第一站:白金漢宮
雨仍然下個不停,但等待觀賞換兵儀式的遊人有增無減,不時括起大風,吹翻了雨傘,而且風還捲起地上的細沙,我幸運佔據了馬路旁的前排,沒有人遮擋,但不幸的是沙不停吹進眼晴。換兵儀式11時開始,當白宮大門有士兵來回走著或有人蠢蠢欲動時遊人便會叫囂歡呼。大門終於打開,意味儀式已經開始,我從未看過換兵更沒有在網上看過影片,我先見到有警察開路,其後有兩三架黑色房車駛出,我看見裡面坐著一位白髮女士,衣著光鮮整潔,大家都向他揮手。然後緊隨的是另一部同款房車,裡面坐著一個上年幾的男人和一個小朋友,同樣衣著華麗。原來他們分別是英女皇和其皇室成員,真的後悔沒有多看一眼。我以為他們是換兵儀式的一部份,出來跟群聚說早安,但原來他們只是剛巧要外出。就是說能見到他們真的很幸運,如果昨天我來了,也許我今天不會來也就不會有機會親眼看到英女皇。更神奇的是,當英女皇出現,天氣突然變好,雨停了,太陽出來了,大家都在晴朗又空下欣賞換兵儀式。
1st Stop: Buckingham Palace
The rain never stop, but the people waiting for the changing of guard did not decrease. It was windy which blew off the umbrella. The wind also blew the sand on the ground. I was lucky to stand in the front next to the road and no one was blocking me, while I was unlucky because the sand was blown into my eyes. The ceremony started at 11am. When the soldiers walked passed the gate or there is something happening, people outside will yell and cheer for it. The gate opened which means the cer

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 10 Miserable Day 不幸的一天

來了倫敦以來,今天的天氣是最差一天,幾本上整天都在下大雨,一心覺得只是驟雨,一會就出陽光,怎料到下午3時才停。
The weather today was the worst among my stay in London so far. The entire day was downpour.  I was thinking its just shower and sunshine will come later,  but it only happened in late afternoon at 3pm.

[歐洲 英國倫敦 Europe London Britain] Day 9 Runaway 離家出走

 
由於我真的不想回家獨自一個人,所以前幾天開始透過沙發網找倫敦沙發主。因為時間太緊迫,我沒有續一給我有意的沙發主發訊息,反而把自己放到緊急沙發請求的群組,簡單寫下自己的情況,希望有沙發主願意給我留宿。倫敦其實很大,感覺要找到沙發主其實很容易,但同時每一天都有很多旅客到訪,所以都有一定難度。很幸運我很快就收到第一個回覆,說有需要可以安排我到他家住兩三天。
Since I was really fed up with staying home alone, I started looking for CS hosts a few days ago. Due to the last minute request, I didn't write the host individual request, but posting my situation on the emergency couch request group and let the host to contact me. London is a big metropolis and it seems easy to find a host. Instead it is hard as lots of travellers visited here and load of them are coming everyday. Fortunately I had my first response in a short time and I can stay at his place for a couple of days.

[韓國首爾 Seoul, Korea] Day 9 Gyeongbok Palace x Deep Fried Chicken x Transsexal Hot Chick 景褔宮x炸雞x變性索女

同房是香港女生,她早上問我「自己一個人去玩,不會悶嗎?」說真的,開心和滿足感遠比苦悶多,旅伴如果和自己性格或價值觀不接近,長期相處下去大家都會很辛苦,內心會續小積聚怨氣,結果因小磨擦變成大火花。我寧願在旅途中遇上萍水相逢的旅人,有feel便一起走兩三個點或結伴數天,然後各走各路,有緣再會。有時他們往往能變成你的好友,因為你們一起經歷了佔人生一小撮美麗的時光,友誼基礎更深。
My roommate is a girl from Hong Kong, she asked me this morning " Isn't it bore to travel alone?" To be honest, I mostly feel happy and satisfied more than bore. If the companion does not share the same value or personality is not similar, both parties will feel pain in long term. We will accumulate the grievance bit by bit and one day it would be triggered and provoked as a fight even it is just a little matter. I would rather prefer having someone coming together by chance. If we feel right, we will travel one day of two, then continue to go on our journey, meet whenever the time is right.
Sometimes, they would become your good friend as you both encountered and overcame together the wonderful moment.
