ciao Italia, truly the chicken soup for my soul / 義大利,真正的心靈雞湯


FCO - BLQ - VCE - MXP


"Nice Hat" - Città del Vaticano



     I've been almost one year late on this one, no surprise again for my procrastination, but I've see my habits are if I finish one blog, suppose I will try to finish one or two more.

     Italy was always one of the dreamy places I wanted to go, the pizza...pasta....vespa...Italian guys of course, the fashion...the shoes...leather......wine....the beautiful vineyards...it can go on. I've to say it did not disappoint me, even the tourist traps was very funny.

    已經過了將近一年我才又開始想把這篇完成,不要太驚訝我有多會拖,但我也了解我自己的習性了,通常我只要寫完一篇我就會努力的再拼個一兩篇出來。

     義大利一直以來都是我覺得很夢幻的地方,披薩....義大利麵....偉士牌機車....義大利男人這就不用多說了、時尚、鞋子....皮革.....紅酒....美麗的葡萄園....我可以講很久。我得說完全沒有令我失望,即使是很觀光客陷阱的地方。

(抱歉,下面的文字幾乎都沒中文,一方面我懶,另一方面是我只有放照片,請各位看不懂英文的見諒,然後我建議你真的去學一下英文好了) 
(我壞壞)

"Follow the DREAM" - Sirmione, Lago Di Garda 西米歐尼
"跟隨你的夢" 



"The Start, The Freshness, The Excitement"


The Toilet




This is what most Asian who has not traveled to Europe before will be very confused of (I'm happy I know it long ago, thanks to my Wai Guo Ren ex-boyfriend). "Is that for washing my face?", no it is not, it's for washing your ass.
這是沒去過歐洲的亞洲人看到會很困惑的。(我很高興我很久以前就知道了,感謝我的歪國人前男友) "這是拿來洗臉的嗎?",不,是拿來洗屁股的。

"Dog Parking" - Roma 羅馬
"狗停車場"


One of those tourist traps. Penis pasta
其中一個觀光客陷阱,"老二義大利麵" (好啦我自己也有買)


Guy eating a 2 Euro Watermelon


This one mainly is because the watermelon is very cheap in Taiwan, and this guy ordered a 2 Euro watermelon and eating with knife and fork. I suppose I feel how foreigners see us queuing for Krispy Kreme now. 
這張主要是我們身在台灣,西瓜是很便宜的,這西瓜這樣一盤在那賣價2歐元(將近80臺幣)然後他還用刀叉吃讓我覺得挺奇妙的。這就很像外國人看我們在排隊買Krispy Kreme一樣神奇了吧。

Italian Slurpee


I just like this, what.




"The Signs"

So creative






That's a penis sign in case you can't tell, was in Pompeii, the old brothel.
那是根老二指標如果你看不清楚的話,在龐貝,妓院。


And that is a penis too.
這也是根老二沒錯。


How would you like it?



"The Laundry"


The Laundries series.

Maybe it's because in Taiwan there's always a balcony or the rooftop to dry your clothes, or maybe it's because our building (sorry to say, quite ugly) so when we dry our clothes it doesn't really have this weird look to it. But here the building are so old and so artsy when they dry their clothes like this...it always catches my eyes.
也許是台灣都有個頂樓/陽台可以晾衣服,也有可能是我們的建築物(醜)晾起來沒有什麼違和感,但在這裡的建築物都是將進上百年的古蹟,晾起現代的衣服有種特別的感覺.....總是很吸引我。


Cinque Terre 五漁村
Venezia 威尼斯

I just love the background of where they dry their laundries.
我就是很喜歡他們晾衣服的背景....

Pro sleepers Part 2 #NoTimeToSleepInBed / 專業睡人第二波 #沒時間在床上睡覺

      From the last blog I wrote 3 years ago, I've finally finished procrastinating and decided to do PART 2 of my favorite collections of sleepers everywhere! Yes...At last, I'm very thankful for the contributors to some pictures, as from time to time I lost my sense of humor, or to say, I've become too much of a routine person, I stopped finding new things. (Also I stopped traveling to China that often)

    自三年前我寫的第一篇,我終於再次決定要來整理然後寫這第二篇,關於我最愛收集的"到處睡的睡人" 是的....終於。我很感謝不時會有貢獻者貢獻一些照片給我,我想我可能前陣子失去了我的幽默感,又或者,生活過得太規律,我不再發現一些新鮮事物會引起我的注意了。(也有可能我最近不太常去中國大陸了)

      As life always gets harder, more stressful, people tend to work much more than before, we often find our sleep time gets less and less. Well. for these people that can sleep everywhere gets my admiration and my respect, as they have achieved in not giving a shit about what others think and also they've succeeded (or maybe not) in the part that they might possibly get robbed but they did not.

    當人生只會越過越辛苦、壓力更大,人們比以前要花更多精力與時間在工作上,我們的睡眠時間只會越縮越短。那這些"到哪都能睡、誰能比你累"的人得到我大大的尊敬及欣賞,他們不但成功的不鳥別人怎麼看他們,他們還成功的(又或許沒有)在睡覺的時候完全不在乎會不會身上的東西都被偷光然後如此安心的睡。(敬佩敬佩)

   Anyways, I think these sleepers will only get more in this world. And yes, it is a black humor things. And to remind ourselves, as life will only get harder, try to see things in a funny way would make it much better.

    反正,我覺得這世界上這些睡人只會越來越多。這對我來說是種黑色幽默了。還有提醒我們"人生只會越來越辛苦,若試著用幽默的角度去看世界的話,也許會快樂些"。

   So here goes.
我們就開始吧
