I love Camberwell / 我愛坎貝爾

坎貝爾新路上前往坎貝爾公園的方向有兩座公車車庫，我覺得小方和阿楷要是來到這裡，一定會不肯離開，在速寫之前我早就寄明信片給兩兄弟了。

On Camberwell New Road to Camberwell Green, there are two bus garages. I have the feeling that if Von and Kai could make their way here, they would definitely go all crazy. Before doing the observational sketch, I had mailed a hand-drawn postcard of the imagined garage to the boys.

看起來是很普通的房子，但洞裡面有好大的空間可以停放數十輛巴士。

This looks like a very ordinary house, but inside the building, there is enough space for scores of buses. 

雖然我在坎貝爾的受歡迎度不如在達斯頓，不過今天有名白人婦女突然間就湊了過來驚呼：真是太棒了！我兒子也是畫家喔！她問我是不是唸藝術的，我回答我是坎貝爾的學生，她問了很好的問題：你開心嗎？我想答案是一百個yes！

Though I am not so popular in Camberwell as in Dalston, a white lady approached me without my awareness exclaiming, "That is fantastic! My son is an artist too..." She asked me if I am an art student. I told her I go to Camberwell. She went on to ask a very good question, "Do you enjoy it?" I think the answer is 100 "yes"! 

看！有公車要出勤囉！

See, a double-decker is going to be on duty! 

右方是兩名狀似下工的公車司機。

On the right side are two bus drivers who seem to be off duty. 

接著我要去展開第一次的肉舖之旅，因為昨天佳瑜和我說她很喜歡去肉店買肉，而且我居然到目前為止都還沒煮過滷肉。

Next I was going to the butcher's for the first time. Yesterday Natalie told me that she loves going to the butcher's, and I was ashamed to admit that I hadn't tried making Taiwanese stewed pork yet. 

買了後腿肉，順便問店員可不可以速寫，他們都能接受，還說我畫完要給他們看。

I bought 1kg of pork leg and asked the employees if I could do a sketch. They were pretty ok with that. One of them even asked me to show the drawing after I was done. 

對了，他們還很熱情地把豬頭擺出來讓我畫，真的很可愛。中間好幾名顧客也過來看，其中一個黑人兄弟問：為何你沒有畫我？大家都很希望自己被畫進來呢！

Right, they thrust the pig head to the front wanting me to draw it. So nice...In the middle some customers also came for a look. One of the black guys asked, "Why didn't you draw me?" To my surprise, a lot of people like to be drawn! 

在坎貝爾住了快五個月，覺得自己和這個區域連結越來越深了‧‧‧

I've lived in Camberwell for almost five months, and I have a deeper connection with this area now...
