2019/1/13 [LanguageS], [Race/ Country], [MRT hidden rules].[HEAT STROKE]

Again, I was cut lines while waiting to order a famous rice noodle in Ximen. The female was in her sixties or some, with a perfect makeup, hairdo and a trench coat, she seemed such a nice person. She said I was not in the line, but she went to be after three persons behind me, immediately. Bear in mind that there were cased ruled in the courtroom based on the statements of two witnesses....So, I am not just saying it. Fake news isn't just in your country, it's here in Taiwan as well. And it only takes a photo or some words of mouth to destroy your reputation for good...Yes, for good.

This week, I was stopped by a person for petition signature, I simply ingored her, but her partner/teammate? said something loud and clear, "HELLO, HELLO MOTO." I held my steps and looked back at him, he said the following sentence in perfect English, even though he and I were both Taiwanese, he said, "Hi there, it's me." But I have never met him before, I stared at him in the eyes for a second, and moved on to my MRT trip. "HELLO MOTO" was a famous slogan for motorola years ago. However, moto, motorcycle in Mandarin are used in Taiwan for "arse, a-hole, dickhead, pain in the ___".

These are the things that people don't talk about while promoting tourism, or language learning...

By the way, some Taiwanese "do" not like Koreans or Japanese.

And when taking the public transportation, watch your steps even in a not moving train, there may be some spilled water/ fluid hardly to be noticed. If you appeared to be young, or strong, you are expeced to give your seats to those appeared to be old, or weak. And the seats in public transportation are passed on like some kind of private heritage, a token of good-heart, kind heart, generosity...whatever you define it.

[HEAT STROKE] drink super supau in room tempeture,. use a coin with some pepper/tiger/onitment and scrach the both sides of the back of the neck and shoulders....

 

 

2018/12/31 [CUT LINES]

i've been cut lines by young and old, single and couple, i've been bumped by speeding electronic wheelchair. someone with a blind stick even bumped a few people and walked down the moving escalator save and square....these are my real life experience in taipei metro station....just saying...

 

2018/12/2 [ELECTION][MAMMA MIA TOUR IN TAIWAN]

on taiwan general election 2018[12/31: the pollution, paper, language,...before and after, how could you say that it's all over, it was all about the election, we have all been friends for long time, we played a fair game, we have been decent before, in and after the election, and now we are still bff....]

i thought taiwan has changed since 2014, 2018 proved me wrong. even i, myself, i did not do my homework for the election and the referendom until 45 minutes before voing. what did taiwan medium say about 2018?  they quoted some famous/authoritative foreign press claiming taiwan has changed, they said how some candidates showed their demeanors(i heard something similar long befofe this election, now it's officially true). Back in 2014, a lot of people's activist groups emerged, each has its own supporting social issue, it was to my surprise. This time, candidates were fighting for the village chief, this localest official job (i am based in taipei). Candidates held festive gatherings and all sorts of  classes and activities, giving away stuff, waving at people during traffic rush hour and garbage take-out time. Their leaflets showed their love for community. They were dedicated to a religion, a political party, a parents' group, a volunteer group. The first runner was supported by the local fraction, the second was backed by a political party, the third was a long time local residence for decades. This was my neighborhod, my community, somehow most of taiwan was the same. And people still believe in every handshake, every greeting, every bow, every please(bai-tuo) in the local market, on the street.PERIOD.

one more thing, do all the papers, emotions, noises count as pollution?

mamma mia international tour....can do better, but thank your for the drama and the music...

just as i was about to write something about shops cheating toursts, this happened to me today.

a restaurant opened a new branch, i went there to show my support/love/loyalty to the franchaise/brand/store/restaurant..... the person at front door said on sale, special prices. i bought one meal box/bento to go/take away, was charged the same as the regular price at any other take away branches...i was really curious/furious? so returned and asked about the meal boxes prices. the first service person was vague/dodging my question. the person said all boxes are on sale, however, when i specifically pointed at the boxes i bought, the person just repeated the speech. the second service person explained that because regular branched do not offer meal boxes, so this new branch offering this meal box as regular price is concidered special treat.一般店沒有這種外帶便當,所以這個按照平常原價販售的外帶便當算是一種特別服務。

i am not going to name names here, just describing my normal day here in taiwan, taipei....

臺北市殯葬管理處、身後事如何辦理、收費基準

經過一小時的網路搜尋,整理出上述三個關鍵詞。起先考慮的是法鼓山,但距離好遙遠,而且為什麼這樣的事情是麻煩新北市民?有種垃圾丟別人家的感覺。後來看到北北桃聯合海葬,才點入北市殯葬處的網頁,原來一切可以如此從簡七日免費、在地減免,然後還有中西式網路祭拜可以使用。

when i bought this dvd, i was just trying to get some discount. This past wednesday, took it out to have some fun/ pleasure/ amusement/ delight / uplifting....whatever it may have been...it turned out to be a great film. I loved almost every part of it, especially the singing. it’s a total comedy. My Christmas 2018 came early....

this past week, i watched the dvd twice. each time i felt or discovered something new. So far, my greatest comment is, when we have Christmas or any holidays, we want it to be perfect or we get upset at any obstacles, any mistakes. When we watch a comedy, a film, we want as many as mistakes/ misfortunes/ ....as possible and laugh as hard as we possibly can.

不知為何世界盃今年在台北火紅,我也跟著七上八下,不專心。唯一特別花的錢是一包五十九元洋芋片,竟然是歐冠贊助商品。明天就是決賽,也沒記住哪國進決賽,可能有克羅安心啞吧!!颱風前在某店排隊記下國旗圖案剛好是克國。這屆我花最多時間在聽歌、看自己舊文,關注巴西國腳的相關歌曲,能夠把一首歌弄到原唱跑來一起拍音樂錄影帶、片花兒,厲害。這次二創是話題,就看版權所有者國際足總怎麼判。前兩天,看了足總官方頻道的二零一零西荷冠軍賽紀錄片,影片花了兩年才上架。至於我比較關心的歌曲,維基百科上整理得詳盡,本屆的歌曲也都滿好聽的,重溫舊文盃盃之歌瑞奇馬汀的結果,意外想起一段個人故事。總結:世界盃是商業賽事,我改變過去對它處理烏烏茲拉的批判,足球是圓的,梅西是好人、西羅也是,世界盃四年一次,人生只有一次。21:59

過去看電影都是進電影院(首週上映就去看的確有種快感),或者跟台北市立圖書館借光碟。

看電影的成本除了那張票,除了可口又似乎不便宜的爆米花之外,還有不知如何計算的時間成本,還有,如果座位不好(曾想網路購票但)?如果天候不佳?如果身體微恙?如果正好在忙?如果交通不便?是的,我看個電影就是這麼多毛。而過去半年,我已經習慣看電影晚進場,或者提早離場。我看【不可能的任務:全面瓦解】就是提早離開,雖然那天的今日秀泰影城服務好、食物好。

至於去圖書館借光碟,熱門影片需要排隊,即使不是熱門片,借期對我似乎是種壓力來源,雖然現在有線上續借兩次的功能,但除了借閱期限,來回圖書館要用點時間,有的影片分館電腦系統顯示有,但卻不知淪落何處,或者影片有刮痕,播放機連讀都讀不出來。

於是我開始轉向購買影片光碟。一開始只是想要把【大賣空】一看再看,只是想要收藏【婦仇者聯盟】也一看再看。現在演變成,能不進電影院就不進電影院了。

不趕時間,無關天候,就好好地把一部影片看完。

2018.8.23台灣週三
 
香港海關:Where are you going?
我:hong...Heathrow, London.
 
香港機場:班機延誤四小時,憑證抵飲食費75港幣。
吃碗內看菜單。味千拉麵。我覺得可以發展泡麵或調理包。英鎊50乙張換港幣471。閣下在此,用詞文雅。0200燈暗。0100/0000小店關。
 
希斯洛機場:
落地表格上的護照發照地不知如何寫,所以寫台北。
 
電信多是卡片販賣機,中華電主動傳來資費方案,選了日租吃到飽,開通3天。地鐵Boston manor 之後才有穩定Vodafone 訊號。地面上才有訊號,有些室內訊號弱。

我的媽媽咪呀!
Novello Theatre 入場時,同區排在前兩位的轉頭跟我前面的說這是她第四次看,it's amazing,很amazing 的口氣與表情。很想插嘴,我看第三次,真的很a-ma-zing。
 
只是沒想到2018這一場跟2009、2010那兩場不太一樣。我比較喜歡以前的版本和觀眾。
 
男女演員在體型上都比較大隻,結實與爆乳。不知如何含蓄描寫乳溝。吻戲也變多、變長1秒。三個爸爸身高變得差不多,特色就沒那麼鮮明。
 
唯一不變的是媽媽唐娜的辣閨蜜的身材和好表現,腰身有點不凹就是。
 
喜歡的:爸爸Sam表現比前一版更好?爸爸Harry也是。女婿在生氣之後的表現也很有張力。女婿好友的表現最令我驚艷,後面的對手戲很棒。
 
對了,官網上有寫含強光,一點也不錯。謝幕多問觀眾還要嗎?曲多一首?有笑有推,只是整個謝幕聲音太大。整體來說,改變是因應時代,好壞見仁見智。
 
只是看完這場,那個a-ma-zing變成a---。
 
剛才看了英國票房網的評論,同感。還有瑞典人闔家觀賞的。
 
還有,我是先看音樂劇再看電影的,電影不習慣。
 
入住:護照號碼、簽名。借用吹風機。
 
明明旅舍有沐浴乳、洗髮精,還是跑趟英國藥妝店;明明不餓,還是跑趟英國全聯?藥妝店的旅行用洗髮精、潤髮乳滿滋潤的,Simple洗面乳也不錯,怎麼印像中會乾。英國全聯,就跟我對台灣全聯同感。
 
咦?那誰是英國小七呢?誰又是台灣維特羅斯呢?
 
2018.8.24倫敦週五
 
吃早餐、買報紙、回籠亂作夢。
 
報紙
地鐵站外都有報攤,各大語系的報紙都有,還有星島日報,陳列架上ㄧ目了然。至於英國當地的報紙就是躺在檯上、壓在老闆手臂下。一開始還以爲沒賣。
 
我:I want one Guardian.
2 pounds, please.
查谷歌才知Guardian 和Guardians是不一樣的。
 
經旅舍櫃姨從櫃內親自走到門口說明才知道進大門要刷感應器。
 
駐外單位
這次出國關注焦點之一是外館(好正式/文鄒鄒啊!),應該說是緊急/意外事件的處理。所以安排?了這樣的行程。
 
谷歌地圖預估走路40分鐘,於是徒步前往,經過水師提督門、白金漢宮。回程想唱歌,明明還有百分之二十的電,就自動關機不能用谷歌地圖導引/導航。
 
對了,外館門口看到超乾淨公共垃圾桶,趕快拍下來。
 
回程憑記憶走岔路看到伊恩麥克連主演的李爾王,門票216鎊。購票系統分「舞台劇」和「音樂劇」,劇名旁就有票價,真好。「戲」和「劇」。
 
因為走路有段距離,大小拐彎多?所以回頭到查令十字路地鐵站搭車。
 
足球:
導覽、商品、賽事、博物館。
Do you need any help?
Is that everything you need?
Do you need a bag?
我:Yes.
It's 5p each.
 
關於吃的事情:
早餐吃旅舍附的、自助式、火腿水果起思優格、麵包水果穀片水煮蛋、麥片粥與茶包、自烤去。中午回舍,吃片餅乾、熱咖啡。傍晚走路去yo sushi,沒吃。吃了沒吃過的Wagamama。
 
Hi, how are you?
Are you ready to order? Or do you need more time?
Is that all? Anything else?
All good?
 
招牌寫便利商店的小店買的可樂口感小怪,月底到期。
 
走路或過馬路
四輪、兩輪、沒輪的人千百種,謹慎為宜。
 
遊客:充電站、公共廁所。剪指甲、修毛髮。
 
2018.8.25倫敦週六
 
早上七點,9度,登山褲不宜。
 
週六旅舍早餐8-11點。週六7點半的街頭:清潔人員、送貨員、各種施工的工作時間;路人:拉著行李的、慢跑的、閒晃?的、抽煙喝?的。地鐵站外的超市平日營業到半夜2400,tomorrow 明天週日是13-19。小維特羅斯則是12-18。然後週一遇上銀行假日。
 
倫敦市到底有多少大學?到處都看得到。
 
Are you in the line?
我:Yes.
 
本來不打算吃旅舍早餐,但餓了,又是週六,吃吧!
 
吃完後,去找紀念碑,看他究竟是誰。因爲谷歌找不到。
 
2018.8.26倫敦週日
 
凌晨三點,意外買到的心愛零食沒了!
 
喝牛奶就容易小拉肚子是怎樣的概念呢?乳糖倦怠或清腸肚?1.136litre。喝太多?
 
嘴唇乾到裂,裂到破。
 
打包中,還上網看台灣新聞。
 
正式拉肚子。
 
Are you leaving?
 
For people who are disabled, pregnant or less able to stand.(Priority seat)
 
Was it 4-2-9?
 
退卡
Are you all done?
So, I will give you money and take the card.
 
It's an old version, so the deposit is 3 pounds instead of 5 pounds.
 
Do you have 1 pound?
 
No, only 5 pound note.
 
Self service check-in: scan passport and print boarding passes.
 
Do you have any makeup, toiletries?
Resealable see through bag
100 ml per container.
 
SCAN the boarding pass.
 
Security check: remove iPad, laptop, liquid out of the bag.
 
Empty pockets, tissue paper, anything
 
The door still beeps.
 
Body scan: raise hands over head
 
Body check:
 
吃到了期待以久的食物,服務生是新手
 
機上電影、音樂
Overload
Ready Player One
Blockers
Fahrenheit 451
Bee Gees Ultimate
 
「足球/運動/賽事/職業」
主題算是從「看比賽」說起吧!
 
小時候,我會在有奧運的時候看比賽,棒球啊!短跑啊!游泳之類的。
 
以下在家完成
週五下午去阿森納的球場。語音導覽已截止,拿著球場博物館櫃姨給的摺頁繞一圈。進店買個一直想用用看的水袋。門票已售罄。晃到另一個地鐵站搭車。看到ㄧ間大學和珍珠奶茶。
 
其實我只是在2010年發現自己終於比較看得懂一種比賽、一種球賽,就是足球。我有偏好的國家隊、球員,但也僅止於偶爾看看而以。
 
至於職業賽,原本覺得很棒,追求極限或超越以往。這半個月來覺得有些方面似乎過了頭,反而失去看比賽的樂趣。
 
據英國媒體報導,美國亞馬遜為了爭取賽事轉播權,拉高了權利金,收視戶的費用可能隨之增加。另外,也有球隊為了降低清潔成本,要員工不能在座位吃洋芋片,引起球迷舉標語或丢執零食洋芋片袋子的抗議。
 
回程飛機上前排ㄧ位老先生在影片89,紀錄足球隊Arsenal 1989年對上Liverpool的影片。
 
感覺隨著全球各國/各地經濟的發展趨勢,職業運動的經營、管理將受影響。
 
談球賽,不如唱唱清快小歌。歌唱軟體追蹤者前兩週唱了Whole Again,前陣子世界盃還被改編。
 
「英國路名」
這個啊!以前就對英國街道名稱小有興趣,這回小小查了一下。Mews、Court、Grove、Manor 等。
 
以下筆電Firefox書寫
 
【Wagamama】
應該是飲食版的Superdry吧,就是:一種英國人專有的亞洲味
。我覺得在各種餐館之中,是屬於可以接受的。對了,回旅舍看收據才知道要付小費。
 
【差點忘了的垃圾桶、公廁和回收】
關於公廁,這次只在旅舍上廁所,因為沒注意哪裡可上,也都沒有很急。至於街頭公廁,只在小維特羅斯門口看到一個停用的。[搜尋英國 公廁]
 
關於回收,我覺得快食店Greggs的最好,只分廚餘、其他兩個洞。
 
關於垃圾桶,倫敦地鐵站內沒看到,這裡是可食不可丟嗎?
 
轉機:排隊還排錯行。香港機場登機門67號好遠啊!
 
【下次】
去不同地方、吃不同餐館、搭地鐵走來走去還是挺不錯的。
 
2018.8.28週二
【出國】
 
我上次出國是2014.8,那次主要是辦事。結果事情只辦了一半。
 
2018.7細數人生,目前為止出國11次,極度盡興是1次。2002.1日本東京橫濱鎌倉江之島日光箱根全跑了一趟,開心是3到4次,不開心到極度不開心是3-4次。
我對出國這兩個字,是存在深刻的心理障礙與陰影的,甚至,是演變成有些害怕坐飛機的。
 
至於【度假】這個詞彙,我還在琢磨。
 
這次去英國倫敦一趟,我望著2015年4月已經換發的護照,想用用它,帶它出國一趟,自己也想去英語系國家走走。但,就如我說過的障礙陰影,於是頹廢到上週三當天早上五、六點訂晚上八點出發的機加酒。至於要做些什麼,就只想得到看足球賽和看音樂劇這兩樣。一個沒看到,一個看了只嘆從前好,到底是要出國,還是不要出國?我想,出國走走還是好的。

至少把地鐵牡蠣卡退卡了,至少知道機場換外幣的營業時間,至少知道出國上網可以怎麼申辦,至少知道現在通關電子化,已經演變到護照去回只蓋了兩個章,其中一個叫做自動查驗通關免蓋章,而我出國時,排在我前面的正是一個已經使用自動通關的日本人。我想,護照、身分證、健保卡、自然人憑證四合一的時代應該不遠了。
 
 2018.9.9
 
昨天傍晚四、五點,台北市下起滂沱大雨。那是我幾乎不曾看過、經歷過的大雨。起先只是整條褲子濕了,後來連上半身的薄外套也濕了,到家才發現背包裡也濕了,光碟機也濕了,背包裡還小有積水。回家的路明明有兩條,捷運或公車,谷哥地圖始終只給了公車這個建議,於是在大雨中轉公車,而中山北路往北的路段,從圓山一路塞車到芝山一帶,沿途更是積水甚深,應該有到小腿的高度。家裡附近的道路有些也是積到難以步行。

亞瑟,王者之劍。King Arthur: Legend of Sword。
This is probably one of the best movies in 2017. I bought a DVD last month, and watched it last night. The drumming rhythm is everywhere in the film, especially the spoken words and sentences, coming back and forth between the interlocutors. Those were just like strings of pearls, jewels, so beautiful and intriguing. I am totally with the comments down below the trailer on youtube. And the sets, costumes, everything was just E.P.I.C. I told myself not to watch any Guy Ritchie movie again after the intense and bloody UNCLE...Anyway, this, to me, is like the Wonder Woman 2017, has that antique shiny flavor that lasts almost forever.
