百水公寓‧維也納
Hunderwasser Village in Vienna
剛到新的城市感受到的是迷惘、不知所措的心情，不想跳過知名的觀光景點，卻又因為大群的觀光人潮卻步。
I tend to feel confused and lost when I first arrive in a new city. I am tempted to visit renowned tourist spots, but I fear crowds of tourists.
百水公寓豐富的色彩和蜿蜒的線條有高第的風格，不過大小只有一個街區。幸好轉個彎完全看不到觀光客，只有當地居民偶爾走過我的面前。
The rich colors and curvy lines of Hunderwasser Village so remind me of Barcelona, but it's only the size of a small block. Fortunately, tourists gather only within the block. I find by accident that around the corner, there are only local residents passing by from time to time as I am sketching.
雖然用黑白色調很可惜，那卻是我這趟旅行的答案之一。
My paper is pricey watercolor paper, but I feel like using only black and white, which is one of the answers I've got from the trip.
Ottakring 地鐵站出口‧維也納
Ottakring metro station, Vienna
在奧地利旅行了十六天，最後幾天有些疲累，不想再去觀光景點朝聖。某天為了健行，來到了Ottakring地鐵站，出口的天橋下有成排的蔬果攤，當地居民來來往往，我的雷達嗅出這是生活的場域，於是在維也納的最後一天，我在橋下坐了半天。
I travel in Austria for sixteen days. During the last few days, I feel that I've had enough of traveling. I come to the conclusion that I shouldn't visit tourist attractions anymore. One day, I discover the community near the Ottakring metro station on my way to the woods. Vegetable and fruit stands line the plaza right outside the station. There, the locals come and go, and my radar tells me that this is the perfect place for sketching. So on the last day of my trip, I spend the whole morning sitting in the shade to draw.
那天，我感受到陽光陰影的變化、當地人的樣貌、社區的型態，最棒的是當然是和人們交流，我不會說德文，也不想多說話，微笑和謝謝兩個字就足夠了。
That day, I feel the changes of light and shadows, what Austrians are like, and how people live. Best of all, I have the opportunities to interact with others. Though I don't speak German, I find smiles and thank-you are more than enough.
最後我的眼前出現了一對街頭藝人，唱著混合民俗和現代音樂的歌謠，我聽到要起雞皮疙瘩，心想：這是我可以想到最動人的句點了！
Early in the afternoon, a couple of street performers mark the end of the trip for me with their modern ballads. It's so beautiful that I am totally moved. What a perfect way to say goodbye to Vienna!
聖沃夫崗
St. Wolfgang
聖沃夫崗是湖區的度假小鎮，我原本夢想著在湖邊散步和在山裡健行，但是我造訪的那幾天，雨下不停，避雨和避寒成了我的目標。
St. Wolfgang is a holiday resort in the lake areas. I dreamed of taking long walks around the lake and hiking in the hills, but during my visit, it hardly stops raining. I can't help but focus on staying away from the cold and the rain.
冷得哆唆的時候，在教堂對面的廣場上瞥見屋簷下的長凳，我便胸無大志地坐下來畫圖。畫著畫著，發現其實廣場是各國旅行團會合的地點，所以我的身邊流轉著不同語言。法國團來的時候，一名大叔建議我在上圖的窗戶裡加人，對於當時很寂寞的我，這真是個好主意！我畫了幾個想像的小朋友，渴望出門和我玩，畫了他們之後，心中有種很安慰的感覺。
As I shiver in the cold rain, the long benches on the plaza catch my attention. Sitting there to draw is the best way to kill time. Then I realize it's actually the meeting point of many tourist groups. It's fun that tourists speaking different languages gather near me and sometimes make their own comments on my drawings. For example, one of the French tourists suggests that I add some people inside the windows. I LOVE the idea since I feel quite lonely at that moment. I feel soothed after drawing some imaginary friends who actually desire to come to play with me in the rain.
接著台灣團的導遊介紹兩張圖中建築的背景，我才發現上圖最左邊的建築是當地非常有名的白馬飯店！
Next come two Taiwanese tourist groups. As the tour guides introduce the buildings, I realize that the building on the left side in the first picture is the most famous hotel in St. Wolfgang: Weissen Rossl!
我的旅行隨意到隨便的地步，卻有無限驚人的發現！
My trip is casual to such a degree that some people might be shocked, but the truth is, I have numerous amazing discoveries!
現代美術館俯看城市全景‧薩爾斯堡
bird's-eye view from Museum of Modern Art, Salzburg
薩爾斯堡小而美，不過把整個城市的建築都畫出來（還擠掉了一些），也得花上三個小時。
Salzburg is small yet compact, but it still takes me three hours to attempt to draw all the buildings. (If you look carefully, you'll find I've missed some.)
畫完的時候，我對自己說：「我沒有對不起這個城市！」
When I finish the sketch, I tell myself, "Now the city can be proud of me!"
修道院旅館‧薩爾斯堡
Gästehaus
im Priesterseminar, Salzburg
旅行到累的時候，就在旅館裡畫圖。旅館裡的小黑貓也寂寞，其實他有很多朋友。
When I would like to take a break from traveling, I sketch in my hotel room. The little black cat is as lonely as me, but the truth is, he has many mysterious friends.

薩爾察嚇河岸‧薩爾斯堡
along Salzach, Salzburg
都是在避開觀光景點時才真正認識一個城市。要告別薩爾斯堡的早晨，天氣放晴了，藍天白雲，有溫暖的陽光，我在河岸邊速寫，當地居民或慢跑或騎腳踏車，平靜又美好。
Only when I remember to stay away from tourist attractions do I really get to see a city as it is. The last morning when I am about to leave, the weather finally clears up. I sit and sketch along Salzach as the locals jog or bike by in front of me. What a peaceful end!
