Ariella

我在Brno路邊買了一點零食，就坐車前往Mikulov，德文為Nikolsburg。她的名字讓我想起日文的牛奶，我就一路上打瞌睡夢想著牛奶，直到一位穿著破舊的驗票員把我搖醒。我再也無法入睡，覺得公車繞了幾十分鐘都是果園，仔細一看，到處都是結實的葡萄果樹！我來到酒莊了！

跨到對街來到猶太區，有許多美麗的羊腸小徑

在和同車人確認沒搭錯車，我從特奇前往特熱比奇的公車上開始打起瞌睡。途中的村莊來了一位巨人，他至少有兩公尺高，身後背著的大型登山包也變得好像是書包，我猜他是德國或是美國人，他卻以標準發音說他要去特熱比奇，那還是比較像德國人吧！鬧鐘一響我馬上就按掉，心想眼前的巨人一下車我就跟著下車，好像才沒闔眼多久，我就被剛剛我問路的太太叫醒：『特熱比奇到了』，我整個人被嚇出一身汗，我還以為是強盜！我和太太道謝，衷心感謝著摩拉維亞人的貼心。
I checked with the travellers at the same bus stop that I was about to board the right bus from Telč to Třebíč. I felt more comfortable snoozing on the bus then. A giant boarded the bus at a village during the journey. He was at least 2m tall. His enormous haversack looked like a normal backpack on him. I thought he was either German or American. After he asked for a ticket to Třebíč in a perfect accent, I thought he was more likely to be the former. I turned off my alarm as soon as it rang, thinking that I would alight with him. It only seems moments after I closed my eyes, I heard a voice saying "It's Třebíč!" It was from the lady whom I had asked for a direction. I thought she was a robber! I thanked her gratefully as I was touched by the warm-hearted Moravians.

在布拉格Roztyly公車站趕搭早上0620的公車去特奇，卻苦找不到站牌。我拿著旅遊書向路人指著Telč唸特可，沒有人理我。當我快絕望時，我找一位中年婦女問路，她才糾正我正確唸法是特奇。我誇獎她英文好，她說應該的，因為她是英文老師，那這樣的話她的英文其實不怎麼樣呢！難怪Morag抱怨學生程度差。她本來要帶我去我的站牌，卻看到她的公車到了就匆匆逃離，我感到莫名奇妙，請她指示站牌的方向，原來就在不遠處。抵達特奇時，只有我一名遊客。我拿著Lonely Planet的地圖跟著走，一不小心走300公尺就走出城了。原來特奇這麼小！我回頭一看，就看到明信片常看到的景色！

自從搬到郊區之後，我的生活步調也大大地改變。

一直很想拜訪Carlisle，趁著南下郊區醫院看房子，我和祺昀約好她北上我南下到Carlisle度週末。就如多年前在Carlisle轉車時一樣，一出火車站就被壯觀的Citadel震撼了。

妹妹，沒有你
K歌也不敢K

在十三歲懵懵懂懂的那年，媽媽匆促地決定要送我出國留學。升學的壓力已把年紀輕卻多愁善感的我折磨成行屍走肉，我厭惡學校裡混混對我丟剩飯、寫恐嚇信的日子，離開這所明星學校的升學班能讓我脫離苦海。但是，我和從小就相依為命的家人從此就會聚少離多了。
