吃完油滋滋的烤肉，肚子很撐卻閒不下來的傍晚，在旅館房間速寫。外頭下著雨，街道上排了幾輛遊覽車，但當地人不多，八月末的釜山有點蕭颯。
Trapped on a rainy evening in the hotel room after a huge meal of Korean barbecued meat, I sit down to sketch the cityscape of Busan. The street is again lined with neon signs of various colors. Though there are some coach buses parked on one side of the street, it feels kind of lonely outside.
街上塞滿了招牌，我得擠著雙眼才稍微能抄下像幾何圖形的韓文，遠方的港口有好幾座巨大的機器，我說不上來是做什麼用的，看起來像巨人的朱紅色座椅。
I have to squeeze my eyes to copy the geometric shapes of the Korean language on the signs. Far away gigantic machines scatter the harbor. I can't quite name them, but to me they look like vermilion chairs of giants.
畫著畫著，突然覺得釜山好像基隆，是寬敞先進版的基隆，不過基隆沒有美麗的大教堂就是了。
As I draw, it occurs to me that Busan is another Keelung (the city on the northern tip of Taiwan). But Busan is much bigger and better developed. Also, there is no magnificent church in Keelung....
儘管如此，我還是挺喜歡這個城市，於是隔天五點半又爬起來畫一次同樣的街景。
Still, I like the city. Thus, I get up at 5:30 a.m. the next day to draw the same scene again.
