Moonlight Echigo—ムーンライトえちご

ムーンライトえちご（Moonlight Echigo【漢字：越後】），運行於新宿駅和新潟駅間的臨時夜行快速列車。JR Pass可以搭，不過注意：全車指定席，需預定座位！那個夜晚，寂寞又疲憊的旅途已近尾聲；現在看圖；已說不出故事>"<。只記得吃了碗不錯但太鹹的「石鵺磋」拉麵，就搭上這要坐著睡的ムーンライトえちご，昏昏沈沈地回到東京。

Noto (Train)—能登（列車）

新井一二三寫到：「高中一年級的秋假，我第一次單獨坐夜車去旅行。目的地是靠近日本海的古城金澤。當年的我是小說家五木寬之的書迷。他有不少作品以金澤為背景。平生第一次的單獨旅行，我一定要到那裡去。」A-Mao的一次單獨旅行，也去了那裡。

能登（Noto）為連絡上野駅與金沢駅間的夜行急行列車。自2010年3月13日起，由每日運行，改為特定日期才有的臨時列車。JR Pass可搭乘，但請注意：全車指定席，要預定座位！

2010年5月，為了省鋃與移動，有幸在日本的黃金週，於「能登」上耗了兩個晚上。坐著睡一晚，真的讓隔天的A-Mao在玩耍時，精神散渙、苦不堪言。畢竟，高中一年級，離A-Mao好遠了……

Sunrise Seto—サンライズ瀬戸

サンライズ瀬戸（Sunrise Seto）是運行於東京駅與高松駅間的寝台特急列車。利用JR Pass，可以免加日鋃搭乘「ノビノビ座席」。注意：這是指定席，要預定座位！

ノビノビ（nobinobi）日文為伸展手腳之意。雖然是硬臥，但由於可以平躺下來、並在夜間大移動，所以相當熱門。2010此行有搭乘到，真是快樂得不得了～

Abra—水上公車

2010一月，到阿拉伯聯合大公國的杜拜參加intersec。若來到這中東世界的跳板，請你一定要搭乘Abra（水上公車；單趟1阿鋃）；它可是當地傳統的木造船喔！航行於Dubai Creek、為Bur Dubai與Deira兩區提供廉價的運輸服務。兩岸的風景可真是迷人萬千（也有比較貴一點的Waterbus啦；不過A-Mao沒坐過）；Deira區的Spice Souk和Gold Souk也是不錯逛的景點（Souk為市集之意）。（謎の声：Spice和Gold為何不翻？）（謎之聲：啊你是阿本仔喔？）（Voice of Mystery：Absolutely……）

Abra的航線一：Bur Dubai Abra St.到Deira Old Souk Abra St.

Abra的航線二：Dubai Old Souk Abra St.到Sabakha Abra St.

根據A-Mao慘痛的迷路經驗，Deira Old Souk Abra St.與Dubai Old Souk Abra St.分列Dubai Creek兩邊，並不是同一站喔～請務必注意！話說一晚獨自在Abra上，涼風吹來、波光粼粼，兩岸突然響起此起彼落的伊斯蘭禱告聲，有如結構龐大、旋律複雜、合聲恢宏的卡農般，實在是非常地震撼人心，真叫A-Mao感動不已。

Imoya in Jinbouchou, Kanda—神田神保町的「薯屋」【閉店】

神田神保町的「薯屋」，是新井「好比追到了初戀對象一般」的味道喔；實在是叫人無限嚮往啊～新井一二三在書中描述這家店為「薯屋」；但是實際上，店名是用「いもや」（漢字：薯屋）的平仮名來表記。這，讓A-Mao事前花了不少時間，搜查店家的地址；叫人扼脕的是，此行終於找到位置，竟碰到店家休息！啥叫不開心？你是當時的A-Mao，就會懂啦。失落、煎熬、拍照；有緣、再說、以上。好比沒追到初次暗戀對象一般的感覺，似乎是這樣、又不是這樣......

Changi Airport—樟宜機場

這次在樟宜機場的吸煙室，碰到沒有飛台灣的新加坡勝安航空（Silk Air）。樟宜機場很大、吸煙室很少；在倉促的轉機過程中找到有地方可以補充尼古丁時，A-Mao不禁覺得真的很開心。拜託！因為之後可是要花13個小時，才能飛到伊斯坦堡。吸煙室，真是癮君子在長程飛行時的幸福空間lah！

Finally—終於快到了

Bosphorus—博斯普魯斯海峽

這次ISAF展的台灣參展團，第一天一早就飛到了伊斯坦堡，但還不能到飯店check-in。所以，上博旅行社就規劃先四處走走逛逛。大夥搭乘博斯普魯斯海峽的觀光船時，在歐洲與亞洲之間，面對這氣象萬千的美景，讚嘆聲不斷、快門也按個不停......

Blue Chip, Blue Man—拉斯維加斯的回憶

In 2005, A-Mao's superior, Annie, taught way to be a salesman and, during ISC West, how to play craps. Recently, I am not fearful anymore of playing blackjack in front of dealers. Both win & loss is part of travel abroad! If I won, the dealer was tipped some and a few small-value chips were kept as souvenir. The Blue Man's venue in Las Vegas is at the Venetian. After purchasing a ticket, I spent time by a craps table. Now these three chips are my victory badges. Especially for the $1 Blue Man chip, it suggests memory of their nice show.

在國外的賭場裡，A-Mao有時會小賭幾把，無論輸贏，都成為旅行的一部份。一切起因，是從05年師傅Annie除了教我如何當業務之外，還於ISC West期間帶我玩花旗骰（Craps）開始。現在，也敢坐上牌桌、臉不紅氣不喘地面對荷官玩二十一點（Blackjack）。輸到了停損點，拍拍屁股走人；贏達了停益點，除了給些小費外、就是留下些小面額的籌碼做紀念。Blue Man在拉斯維加斯的秀場在威尼斯人酒店；在買票等待入場的時候，又小試一下身手。這三個籌碼，就是賭博勝利的徽章；特別是這一塊美鋃的Blue Man籌碼，勾起看秀的美好回憶。【蓝人筹码】

Yo! Blackjack! Quick! Tip me canned food!

呦！恭喜少爺！二十一點！趕緊打賞貓罐頭。

Image of Kobe—神戸映像

When it comes to Kobe, what do you come up with? I asked some of my friends and colleagues, and all of their answer is steak. As for mine, it is about travel and, of course, Kobe beef. Been to there twice, I mainly visited a customer so that there was no time to enjoy this city located between the bay & mountains but was bought a lunch at The Sky Buffet in 2008. Food is not bad, and the view is so magnificent at 24 flours.

當提到神戶，你會想起什麼？問了周遭一些人，回答都是神戶牛排！去過這個港口城市兩次了，都是為了拜訪客戶，所以沒能夠四處晃晃。不過，08年客人在ザ・スカイブッフェ（The Sky Buffet）請吃午餐：食物不壞，自24樓看出去的景色真是無敵壯觀。

The artificial island in Port of Kobe is Port Island, and there is another island behind on which the Kobe Airport built. Suddenly, I also recalled that TOA, a famous CCTV company, is headquartered on the Port Island. Anyway, my image of Kobe is quite good—though no Kobe beef.

這ポートアイランド（譯：港島）是一個人工島；神戶機場就坐落在更遠的一個人工島上。當下還突然想起，之前Study過的CCTV大鉲TOA本社就在眼前這座島上。總而言之，A-Mao對神戶的映像是挺不錯的；雖然少了神戶牛排。

日本上陸許可—Japan Landing Permission

ときどきパスポートでビザまたはスタンプの上で日付と都市を調べる事は、旅行の歴史を検閲。2008年に日本上陸許可の色はオレンジ色から灰色に変更しました。A-Maoが最初の灰色のを得た時、何も起こらなかったので、法的基礎は同じ事であるようです。彼は7日間JRパスによって寝台列車旅行を構想している。その時シールの色は何でしょうか？

Sometimes looking into the dates and cities on visas or stamps in a passport is like reviewing the history of travel. The color of Japan landing permission was changed from orange to grey in 2008, but the legal basis shall be the same because nothing happened when A-Mao obtained his first grey one from the immigration officer. A night train travel by a 7-day JR Pass is being planned. Will it be with the grey seal? 【橙色和灰色的上陆许可】

Largo do Lilau—阿婆井前地

A folk song was being sung: One who drinks from Lilau never forgets Macau. If he doesn't get married here, he will leave far and return again. The Portuguese meaning of Lilau is mountain spring, whereas it sounds like grandmother's well in Chinese. The Lilau Square is one of foremost Portuguese settlements in Macau. Due to its old architectures, it was listed as a world culture heritage site in 2005.

昔日有民謠傳唱：喝過阿婆井水，忘不掉澳門；要麼在澳門成家，要麼遠別重來。 阿婆井的葡文意義是山泉，這阿婆井前地，是葡萄牙 人早期的聚落之一。因為其古舊建築與歐陸風情，於2005年，被列入聯合國世界文化遺產。

In fact, my main reason to travel in Macau is that this tiny area has up to 25 world culture heritage sites—about 3 times bigger than Taiwan, South Korea has 7 sites only. In the meantime, I had a question: Why Taiwanese have no one? In the Eva Airline cabin back to Taiwan, I finally came up with the answer: because of China's bullying, we are not allowed to return to the UN. In Taiwan, of course, here is no world culture heritage site administered by UNESCO. Anyway, in the first and last European colony in China, each street corner could be a surprise.

這趟澳門之行的主要動機，是想探索這個有著25個世界文化遺產的彈丸之地（人家韓國比台灣大上約三倍，也才只有7個）。旅途中，心中突然冒出一個問題，熊熊想不出答案：啊中華民國台灣怎麼會沒有半個咧？在回程的長榮班機上，才猛然想起：因為老共的阻撓，我們遲遲不能返聯，當然不會有聯合國世界文化遺產囉！在這東西薈萃的場域，每一個轉角，都可能是一個驚奇。

Oh, the dogs there are so lucky! Walking in the South European atmosphere, they also have exclusive WC. The dog keepers are so lucky as well because they do not have to take care of their dogs' waste. Hmmm......I was wondering whether it could be a big cat litter box.

喔！本地的狗狗還真是幸福啊！漫步在南歐的氛圍中，還能享有專屬的WC！更爽的是狗爸狗媽吧？不用費心幫狗兒解決排泄的問題。嗯……不知道能不能當特大號的貓砂用？

See! A-Mao's Tiffany envied Macanese dogs so much that she got angry and then fainted.

你看！連A-Mao家驕縱的妮妮都眼紅澳門狗兒的好狗命，氣到昏厥、倒地不起。【亚婆井前地】

Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House—澳門國父紀念館

In June, 2007, A-Mao was enjoying the Dragon Boat Festival in Macau. Before climbing the Guia Hill for Guia Fortress, the World Heritage Site, I came across the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House, which is not introduced by my guidebook. Well, he is the Father of Taiwan (ROC) as well as Chain (PRC), and there is free of charge. I had no reason not to visit it.

話說2007年六月，藉由端午節連假，A-Mao孤軍近征澳門。在攻濠江最高山岳東望洋山（海拔只有93公尺）之前，巧遇手邊旅遊書沒有介紹的國父紀念館。國父很偉大（沒有他，就沒有現在分隔兩岸的台灣與中國），加上不用門票，我想不到不進去看看的理由。

The keynote of the decoration is humble. The "Zhi Nan Xing Yi" (knowing is difficult, but acting is easy) should be written by Dr. Sun. Each time a trouble was in front of me in Macau, this maxim encouraged me although the results were not always good.

裡頭裝潢傢俱很多是木造、設計走質樸的基調；不過無論是在當時與現在的時空，住起來應該算是簡約的奢華吧？有看到那可能是國父墨寶的「知難行易」嗎？每當此趟蠔鏡之行碰到難關當前，這四字箴言都會在我心頭浮現，雖然最終結果不全然能盡如人意。

This wood set of furniture with marble top is carved very well. I like that table so much because it could be separated. Must be very easy to move and store. As years pass by, the antique is shining history.

這套桌椅真是棒透了！鑲嵌大理石的厚實木料，雕琢細膩；桌子還能一分為二，想必相當方便搬運以及收納。經過歲月的洗禮，這古董炫耀著歷史的光澤。

The "Li Yun Da Tong" (great harmony) was signed and stamped by Dr. Sun, but a Mr. Zhang indicated that it is a real handwriting at the end! It reminded me of a Chinese idiom: to rejoin the ermine with dog's tail.

這禮運大同篇，咱家國父都署名落款了；偏偏這張人傑又於民國十五年三月十二日，特別註明這是“孫先生遺墨”。還真是「狗尾續貂」啊！【澳门国父纪念馆】
