4號吞雲吐霧想像盒

中午,上班族,敦化南路上,懶得採買中餐
不自覺走向7-11
不經意拿起韓式涼麵
不小心聽到前一位先生在結帳時的對話

「4號」
隨即,店員轉身抽了個4號菸盒
看著掛在牆上的好幾排菸盒
總共有79個號碼,79種口味
代表79個白日夢

「先生,這是您的4號菸盒。口味是古巴血染加勒比海。
副作用是鐵幕與加勒比海女郎的交互衝擊想像。
非常適合坐在辦公室的上班族喔!」:7-11店員說

看著菸盒背後斗大的[吸煙有害健康]標語
那位先生拿著4號菸盒
吞雲吐霧去了…

keep domesic momad life

I just came back from Yilan yesterday. My friend Ellen and me rode our motorcycles for over 100km from Taipei over the Seashore Freeway to East Taiwan. Everything starts with just a crazy idea- How about traveling by motorcycle rather than by mass communications? Well, we almost get killed by a huge truck on the Seashore Freeway. Now I realized mass transportations has its own value so next time I will go by train.

It's been 3 months after coming back to Taiwan and I’m happy that most of my Taiwanese friends overseas also came back recently. Eric, Even, Chris and Grace flied back respectively this month. Our view on this world changes which affects the way of thinking and living. For every returned-expat, what really important is to pave the right road for the future. The right road means to live in your favorite way even if it’s very different from the previous. During these 3 months, I try to adjust and broaden my life. I actually get to know many new friends. That's a good sign. I'm not settled down yet but I believe I will be in 2 more months.

Most of my friends in India went back to their countries too. Great to know they are all fine. How about my friends in Hong Kong? It's been a long time that I haven't contact friends I knew in HK. I will start writing emails soon.

By the way, I learned surfing at Honey-moon Bay in East Taiwan but I failed…I think I'd better to start with boogie boarding. (Thanks to the suggestion of Janice, USA).
