NTU / 台大


離開辦公室之前,我問同事:告訴我一間可以速寫的咖啡館。她想了想之後說:台大,湖邊有個喝咖啡的地方。

Before leaving the office, I asked my colleague Anna, "Could you name me an interesting cafe where I can sketch?" She suggested the campus of NTU. "There is an outdoor cafe which faces the lake. The view is quite nice." 


很幸運地搭上另一名同事的便車,她說:台大真是越來越醜了。這點我挺苟同的。雖然最後沒找到湖邊的咖啡館,卻從咖啡館前方的庭院找到很迷人的樹林景色。我要在所有地方變得更人工化之前留下一點紀錄。

I was lucky enough to be offered a ride by another colleague. On our way she made such remarks: NTU is getting uglier and uglier. Well, I can't agree more with her. 

Though I did not find the view of the lake as suggested, I saw something equally charming in the front yard of the cafe. My mission is to record the beauty of as many places as possible before they become more artificial.
