2015 In this Yilan (宜兰) trip, I didn't book any accommodation or transportation. I just hopped in whatever came to my life, embracing the life journey of uncertainties. 我想看什么？其实就是不在意看见什么。前方微雨，灰银的云隐约之间看见田野、溪流、房屋、远山及大海。。。单纯的收入在视野里，自然成为内心最美丽的风景。就这样不必想到曾发生过的，世俗中的波折，悲与欢暂且放下。全然放空心情享受自己与世界。 |

 'Tis the theme of my trip. 活在当下 |
 Finding memory |
||
 Came again to this hot spring I visited before. |
 For body and soul cleansing. |
||
 Everyday I had traditional Chinese medicinal soup. |
 当归羊肉 everyday, 补补补补 |
||
 Off to Yilan District of Taiwan by bus. This area is proclaimed to be the back garden of Taipei. It's good to see field pond and low rises. |

 Luodong Wood Industry Park (罗东林业园) |
 Embracing the nature the first time after stressful months. |

 December 14, 2015 - I am at LuoDong on my own. I am in between jobs which I learnt my lesson working in a firm that do not respect employees as person. For me, money is not something I look for in my life at the current life stage. I want to live a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life, and possibly can share my life with my loved one. So it is a good choice I no longer work in that firm and I had opted for some place I can enjoy my life and have a balance while being challenged to work on something I enjoy. Sometimes it is from the bad and worse experience that I realized what I look for in my life. Thanks for my guardian angels, I am recuperating in Taiwan right now. Then I'll go London, Slovenia and Croatia for my Christmas and New Year. Then I'll be back to life for my new job. Life has its way of planning everything. Let me enjoy my life and be happy. |

 A newly wedded couple working in their noodle shop. I have a bitter-sweet feeling toward them. Bitter is that there is no economy in village, yet they can live a sweet quality loving simple life. |
 Luodong night market with traditional game machine. That's where a childhood should be, playing simple games outdoor instead of video games. |

 December 15, 2015 - On the fifth day of Taiwan 流浪 trip, I finally captured the 流浪感觉. I explored whatever available in the area and came to Wufengqi (五峰旗) water fall. In the mid-way to the fall erected a Catholic church, but I was actually expecting a temple. Similar to life, don't expect and let the mystery unfold into excitement. Throughout the day I've been listening to Mariam's 原来过得很快乐 , 最后的歌... Then realized it's been 10 years since I first heart felt the lyrics of these songs. 活着就是感受人生的上上落落 , 这刻我不知道是否应该觉得快乐... 只好怪贪心人无论满足多么久也未就够... |

 Without any reservation, at 8 pm I just knocked to this local B&B 青禾民居 at Jiaoxi (礁溪) for a stay. This B&B belongs to a loving senior couple who drove me to station, directed me to tourist interests and shared home made desserts with me. They had me reflecting the meaning of life. Once you reached 70+, power, pride and fame really don't matter anymore... Openning the heart (开心) is more important. |
 Jiaoxi is famous for its natural hot spring, so inside each room is also a private bath tub of spring water. However, actually I enjoy more of a public one as I can see father-son, classmates and friends come in their natural physical form and share their everyday conversation with each other. There is a beauty of simplicity. Sometimes people wear too many masks whom may loss sight of themselves... |
||
 I took a bus to Wushi Harbour (乌石港). There is only six buses going there a day, so I had to stay here at least for 2+ hours. |
 After I arrived, I immediately realized there is nothing there. NOTHING THERE! Then I burst into laughs. 就是这样打开了心框 |

2014 秋 這次去臺灣滿高興和我的中學朋友一起去。第一天因行程關係我未曾跟得著她們的出租車旅行，反而我自己一個人遊蕩。但沒想過在我遊淡水老街之時她們迎面跟我碰著，有緣的真的會有緣，沒有約定都會碰得見。之後我們一起到十份平溪，完成我對來臺灣的一個大願望 --- 放天燈。 現在我的人生過得也算快樂安定。追求的不多，剩下想得到愛情。但是愛不是只會從天而降，反而要把心打開去接受及付出。現在也讓我一步一步的去付出愛。 而這次遊臺灣我也感覺到很多愛，朋友的愛，朋友的朋友的愛，及新認識朋友的愛。謝謝！ |

我在十月這個時間來臺灣是為參加這同志遊行。這也是我人生第一次來臺灣呢。謝謝SinSin花花 Bonnie Doris 陪我來。X 臺灣同志遊行和歐美有差別，臺灣是帶著平權的心，而歐美一些國家因已有平權，所以帶著光榮歡欣的心遊行。但我一些外國朋友挺喜歡臺灣的，因為所有人都可以參與，反而歐美有一些遊行已過成熟，只有花枝招展參與，反而淘汰了平凡的人。各有個好。 |

 遊行中 |
 西門町的紅樓同志酒吧區 |
 臺北溫泉區 - 我喜歡享受自然，而無拘無縛赤裸裸地融入綠色大自然是我的喜愛。=） |

 一絲不掛的我享受著我新認識的臺灣年輕朋友送給我的低糖高纖豆奶。這是愛。謝謝！ 之後我便躺在溫泉旁睡覺，洗淨我的心靈，簡簡單單地享受清靜，享受幸福。 |
