Don Wai Floating Market / 海椰寺水上市場

我的朋友百方住在海椰寺水上市場附近，來到這裡不吃一晚鴨肉麵好像很不道地！

My friend Bai-fang lives near Don Wai Floating Market. It seems a must-do to eat a bowl of duck noodles here.

        我非常喜歡市場裡各種顏色的蔬菜，綠的紅的，用塑膠袋包得鼓鼓的，是視覺的饗宴！

     I love vegetables of various colors in the market placed in inflated plastic bags. What a feast for the eyes!

        水上有賣水果的小販，但不像觀光水上市場那樣競爭激烈。

     There are vendors on the river, and fortunately, not so many as in other touristy floating markets.

        坐船遊河可以一覽泰國人生活的風景，塔金河上的風光平靜寫意，這個地方輕輕鬆鬆成為我最愛的景點之一了！ 

     The cruise gives me an opportunity to take a peek into Thais' daily lives. The views along Tajin River are serene and graceful. Well, this place has become one of my favorite spots in Thailand!

        河邊有從主流分叉出去的小河，有高架小屋。

     There are mysterious streams leading from the river as well as water chalets. 

        有文青風的咖啡館，泰式民宿和破舊的民房。

     Also, really poetic modern cafes, Thai guesthouses and shabby old houses.

Courage / 勇氣

從芬蘭航行至瑞典的途中，穿越過波羅的海，走過日落日出，感覺像繞世界一圈，釋放了一些東西，也得到了一些，人生的視野又拓寬了許多。

As we sail from Finland to Sweden, we cross the Baltic Sea with the company of sunset and sunrise. It feels like I have traveled around the whole earth. On the trip I lose some and gain some, and most important of all, my horizons have been broadened. 

        當我覺得自己在同樣的問題中打轉時，回想這趟旅行給了我勇氣，提醒我能夠用大視角來想事情，我希望到人生的盡頭，都不會忘記那樣的領悟。

     As I feel trapped in the same problem, looking back on this trip never fails to supply me with courage. It reminds me to get a perspective. And I hope I will not forget the epiphany until the end of my life.
