最近在看藍白拖的新書《走慢點 才是快》,其中有一篇標題特別有趣,他說:「活在當下,就不要活在當下。

 

這個觀點非常有趣,也很有哲理。巧妙地運用了一些相關詞,意義就是鼓勵讀者要勇於突破、走出舒適圈。

浪跡天涯,10年走過十多個國家、三十多座城市,這些旅行中的體驗,對我而言都是獨一無二的。

喜歡慢活,喜歡停留在某個城市,悉心體會人們散發出來的魅力,於是,我跟著感覺走,走進大街小巷,開始紀錄故事。 旅行,豐富生命,也讓我看到不一樣的世界軌跡。

曾為國際志工、交換學生、也到外島馬祖服役,工作後參加國際會議、海外出差以及自助旅行,幾乎體驗了年輕人出國的各種方式。這些經驗對我來說彌足珍貴,而旅行的學習更無形中改變自己。因此,我想將這段探索之旅,分享給更多年輕朋友。

以自身經驗來說,本身寫程式,卻意外接觸文學,而有了作家身分,於是很多人問我,工程師這麼忙了,為何還要做這些事情,我回答:「這是一段記錄自己成長的過程!」 而且「有些事情是有時效性的,錯過之後可能無法再重來!」

為期兩周的西葡行,就在20小時的長途飛行加轉機中劃下句點。在飛機上,我問同伴:「會想一直留在西班牙嗎?」
 
其中一人說:「無論多美,終究不是自己家。」

 說到苗栗,不知道大家第一個想到的是什麼,是三義木雕?還是公館(不是台北的公館喔!),對我而言,苗栗是一個很陌生的地方,雖然離新竹很近,但對它最深刻的印象只有「大湖採草莓」,以前學生時代常常出去玩,往南走的路線只有採草莓,其他都在新竹山區或桃園一帶,因此,當朋友邀約我前往棗莊時,我二話不說馬上答應,除了想要吃點苗栗特色餐外,也想看看這個純樸的鄉鎮。


出發之前,我習慣性地上網GOOGLE一下,第一頁隨即顯示許多棗莊古藝庭園膳坊的資訊,不過第二頁卻出現了山東省棗莊市,原來棗莊不僅是餐廳,也是一個地名。從網頁上琳瑯滿目的介紹,我了解棗莊是一幢古色古香的建築,而且外面還有一大片紅棗園。

與其說入雲天,不如說是置身其中,當天霧實在是太大了。

Background

All of us are TRAVEL LOVERS. The old focus of travel is to call up a travel agency, fly from place A to place B, and have fun. Citiport is to bring forth the new concept of travelling, that is to experience local cultures, which is only made possible with interactions with locals. This is what the normal travel websites lack of.
Citiport has more: a more holistic view than the usual travel websites.

台灣在美國矽谷DEMO秀中獲獎的Citiport創辦人陳衍翰今年才廿八歲,就已有三次創業經驗。成立僅兩個月的Citiport網站主打旅遊服務,吸引全球五十多國網友蒞臨,並受到來自北京、矽谷創投業者青睞,挹注將近台幣千萬元創業資金。

畢業於交大資工系的陳衍翰,學生時代就曾自創線上KTV網站「樂浪島」,但受到唱片版權問題拖累,不久後只好關閉網站。後來他第二次創業,成立 MeWorks,幫助中小企業主架設網站,以拆帳做為主要營收來源,終於開始有了收入。第二次創業的獲利,讓陳衍翰有了一筆資金,可三度創業成立 Citiport網站。

創業團隊共四人,都是廿多歲的六、七年級生,而且都是旅遊愛好者。陳衍翰說,過去他看旅遊網站,內容大同小異,幾乎都由外地背包客、旅行者書寫,往往忽略當地人聲音,「就像外國遊客覺得來台北,一定要去101大樓,但台北人不一定覺得101最好玩。」

結合外地人、本地人觀點的Citiport在今年一月一日成立,網站標示全球一百個城市旅行者、在地人認為最好玩的前十大景點。例如,由台北在地人票選出的台大生態池、西門町,都是外地旅行者沒有選出的景點。

陳衍翰說,這個網站目前僅透過全球最大的學生組織AIESE推廣,初期由Seednet贊助頻寬、電腦主機。這次他們遠征美國參加DEMO秀後, Citiport受到評審團隊以及多家創投業者注意,資策會透露,原本評審團只想挑一家台灣團隊進入初賽,但DEMO秀執行總監雪佛利(Chris Shipley)看到Citiport內容、創立宗旨後,感到相當有趣,實在無法割捨,才「破例」讓兩家台灣團隊同時入圍。

你是否嚐過台北的周胖子餃子、明月湯包…
你是否走過香港的智慧之路、星光大道…
你是否看過北京的售票員、南鑼鼓巷…
你是否經過伊斯坦堡的聖索菲亞大教堂、藍色清真寺

I like to travel and to see the different cultures; therefore, I plan my personal trip to other countries every year. I went to Beijing this summer vacation. It was an interesting experience, because I met some friends and tasted traditional Beijing food and snacks. I stayed in Beijing for around two weeks. The following are some advices for those people who want to visit Beijing in the future.

To begin with, preparing yourself to go on a trip is extremely important. For instance, before visiting Beijing, you have to do some research, such as: Food, time zone, currency, and hotels; and make your schedule. It would be wise to make reservations for hotels on the Internet, because Beijing is too large, as a visitor, it is easy to get lost. If you carry a big luggage, arriving at the hotel directly will be a good choice for you.

Several weeks ago, I came back from Beijing. Apparently I'm a tourist; however, I'm a local citizen in fact. I behaved like local people. For example, I went to KTV with my friends. I took  buses and rode a bicycle there. I also ate lunch in the student restaurants and played basketball with them. "Seeing is believing", as a proverb said. I took two weeks to "see" their lifestyle and wrote down this article.

First of all, I have to say that Beijing is better than what I imagined. Of course every city has its deficiency. The drawback of Beijing is the human quality and morality. There are too many people lived and worked in Beijing. How can you ensure all of them are high-educated? Thus, the dirty and impoliteness are what we can guess. Luckily we still have clean roads to walk. Maybe the government set some policies to keep clean for the sake of Olympic Games. Also, my friend told me the real Beijing people are very friendly and kind. It is the floating population that is damaging B
eijing citizen's reputation.

The Summer Palace, Yiheyuan in Chinese, is the most celebrated imperial garden in China. The garden came into existence early in the 1750s and had once been a summer resort for the emperors. According to Wikipedia, It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water, including more than 3,000 buildings, such as halls, pavilions, towers and so on. The central Kunming Lake covering 2.2 square kilometers was entirely man made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill. Thus, Summer Palace used to be called the Garden of Clear Ripples.

I only visited three important tourist spots during my Beijing trip. One of them is the summer palace. As we know, Yiheyuan is one of world heritages. It conserves many historical buildings and attracts plenty of tourists every day. Also, it's very close to Peking University. So I visited there with my friends in PKU. There are three stories I want to share with everyone.

"Seeing is believing." This is an old proverb. For a general person, it's like a normal sentence. But for a Taiwanese, the sentence is more important than others. Why? We have read many Chinese historical stories and articles, but we can't see them. 

When I was a junior high school student, I read Qin Shi Huang's stories. He is the first emperor of a united China. As the ruler of Qin dynasty, he issued many controversial policies, most notably the great wall of China. It is a series of sandstone and earthen fortifications, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century The main function is to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire. The building is kind of miracle in architecture history. Thus, visiting the great wall is my first wish during my Beijing trip.

Keelung is my hometown, the place I live, the harbor I see, the rain I feel.

I like Keelung because of the harbor and the sea. When I was young, I liked to walk along the harbor side. I looked the ships and dreamed that I will take the ship to anywhere I want. I still remember that there was one big ship called StarCruise. Many tourists took it and traveled on the ocean. Their destination was Okinawa. Everytime I saw this ship, I felt very happy. I hope one day I can go abroad and see the world.

記憶中,有那麼一座橋,藏在內灣深處
它是我們大一共同的回憶,也是我們的青澀歲月

還記得那一天,我們一群人,從十二舍出發,一股腦兒就往山上衝
那天夜黑風高,我們來到了「全台灣第二長吊橋」,那時是凌晨過後,四周靜悄悄的
