台灣TW>澎湖PengHu>馬公市MaGong>彩虹橋Rainbow Bridge

這座橋叫做「西瀛虹橋」,俗稱彩虹橋。
This is the Rainbow Bridge.


彩虹橋在觀音亭旁,是馬公市內一個觀賞日落的最佳地點。傍晚時分,很多人在這裡散步、遛狗;這裡當然也是情侶談情說愛的好地方。
The Rainbow Bridge is beside Guan Yin Temple, it is a best spot to view sunset in MaGong City. In the evening, there are lots of people jogging, walk their dogs . This is also a best place for couple.


這裡也是澎湖每年花火節的燃放地點,璀燦煙火在海面的反射下肯定是又漂亮又浪漫,真希望能親眼見到這畫面。
This is the location for PengHu annual fireworks festival, the splendid fireworks surely looks great and romantic under the reflection of the sea. Really hope to view that scene personally.

左邊有隻狗在游泳。There's a dog swimming on the left hand side.


這就是它稱之為彩虹橋的原因。
This is why we named it Rainbow Bridge.


在旅伴TCS鏡頭的長時間曝光下,海面上也映出一道彩虹,好漂亮~
Under my travel partner, TCS’s lens, there is a rainbow on the sea surface which we cannot by naked eyes. Awesome!



*喜歡這張。I Like This.

樂樂與我。Ah-Le & Me.

#特別推薦# Dream Escape

為你介紹我旅伴的部落格。



部落格的主人是我高中同學,目前在英國諾丁漢唸建築系碩士。每次大小假都會聽到他在旅程中或即將啟程的消息,這是他的興趣;也是他的「工作」。他堅稱自己對看風景的興趣超過看女人,我想是因為他在旅程中已經看盡形形色色的女人了吧~

或許是唸建築系的關係,他對構圖、色彩的掌握非常精準;而且三言兩語、似假疑真的小故事拓展照片的張力。你在這裡看到的不止是旅程中的二三事;還有真實的人生。

他正在用他的獨特感官在窺探這世界,你感受到了嗎?

新護照到手!Got My New Passport!

特地請了一天假到馬六甲申請護照,在這里申請在兩個小時后就可以拿到了。去政府部門就是見識“效率”及考驗耐性的時候。從拿號碼到繳費,已經是2個多小時了,比實際做護照的時間還要長,是有那麼多人在申請護照喔?確實。
I took a day off to Malacca to apply for a passport, here you can get your new passport 2 hours after apply. Whenever you go to the government office, it is for you to understand the word of “efficiency”, meanwhile challenging your patience. From the moment I take number until I pay, it is already more than two hours, it is even longer than processing the passport. Are there lots of people applying passport? YES.


截止目前為止,我共換過三本護照:
第一本護照號碼是A10XXXXXX,2000;
第二本護照號碼是A14XXXXXX,2005;
第三本護照號碼是A21XXXXXX,2010。
So far, I had three passports:
The first passport number is A10XXXXXX, 2000;
A second passport number is A14XXXXXX, 2005;
The third passport number is A21XXXXXX, 2010.


如果說護照的號碼是按照順序來排列來看,第一個5年與第二個5年的增長率是不是差很遠?近幾年馬來西亞的人口並沒有爆增,那為甚麼會有此現象呢?聰明的你或許心中已經有個答案了吧~
If the passport number is sequencing, the growth of first five years and the second five-year is much different? In recent years, the population of Malaysia consider normal, then why is it so? You are wise enough to get the answer, don’t you?


自從亞航喊出了「現在人人都能飛」的口號之後,馬來西亞出國旅遊的人口增加了、跨國商業活動也越來越多。凌晨到LCCT還是可以看到人潮,而且到處可見睡在椅子上候機的旅客。可想而知為甚麼排隊申請護照的仁那麼多了。
Since AirAsia shouted out the slogan, "Now everyone can fly", more and more Malaysian travel abroad, and the cross-border commercial activities also increased. At LCCT, you can see the crowd even midnight, sleeping on bench everywhere. That’s why so many people applying passport.


另外,必須要讚的一點就是,握有馬來西亞護照真的很方便,要到一些邦交國、英聯邦國家等等,到很多國家都不需要簽證。這對旅行愛好者來說是一大好處,剩下很多時間及金錢。就這點來看,當馬來西亞公民真的很棒!
Last but not least, I must say that holding a Malaysian passport is really convenient. You can enter numbers of countries without visa, saving lots of time and money for travelers. In this point of view, I think it’s great to be Malaysian!

新護照到手,我在Facebook大膽地喊出目標:5年蓋滿30頁!
I got my new passport, and shouted out my target in Facebook: stamp all 30 pages within 5 years!


很多人都抱持懷疑的態度,也有很多人叫我多去幾趟新加坡。其實一開始我也不置可否;但既然喊出目標,就要大膽地朝目標前進。衝~
Many people are skeptical; and a lot of people told me to go Singapore more often. In fact, in the beginning I also doubt about it; but since it’s a goal, I must achieve it. GO~



*馬來西亞的護照號碼到底是不是按照順序排列?跟區域有關係嗎?其實我是根據自己及朋友的護照號碼推測的,有誤請糾正。
*Is Malaysia’s passport sequencing? Is this related to region? In fact, I speculate due to own and my friend’s passport number, if there is any mistake, please correct.

台灣TW>澎湖PengHu>美食Food

其實澎湖有很多特色小吃,來到澎湖第一樣要嚐的當然就是仙人掌冰!仙人掌處處可見;但在這裡澎湖人加工處理之後變成了解熱抗暑的澎湖特色了。
PengHu got a lots of tasty food, the priority of cause is the Cactus Ice-Cream!You can see cactus everywhere, but in Penghu, people process the cactus seeds to become cactus ice-cream which is special, tasty and

這仙人掌冰吃起來的口感與一般冰沙相似。
This cactus ice-cream taste like a normal ice blended.


這仙人掌冰吃起來很紮實,感覺就是將仙人掌果實打爛製成冰,有種酸甜的滋味。這就是是澎湖最著名的、最多旅遊節目介紹、最多網友推薦的「易家仙人掌冰」,一球要NTD30。遇上旅遊旺季可要排長龍了~
This cactus ice-cream is very rich and taste a bit sweet and sour. And this is the most famous cactus ice-cream stall in Penghu, “Yi-Jia Cactus Ice-Cream”. It costs NTD30 per scoop. If you come in peak season, there’s always a long Q.


嚐過了仙人掌冰,當然也要知道仙人掌果實長甚麼樣子啦~

用大大的貝殼盛裝的貝殼冰;其實也只是普通在夜市都能見到的冰淇淋及剉冰。

燒肉飯最出名。味道不錯;但真的很油~
The most famous dish, Carbonado Rice. Not bad; but too oily.


海鮮炒麵,有阿嬤的味道~
Seafood Fried Noodles, it taste like my granny’s dishes.


馬公市區內的景點四眼井前的乾益堂藥膳蛋,也是很多網友推薦的。它的味道比茶葉蛋濃一些,不覺得有甚麼特別的;不過聽說很補。
In front of the MaGong’s attraction, Four-eyes Well, there’s a herb-cooked eggs which is also recommend by lots of net pal. Heard it’s good for health; but not that special for me.



個人最愛的還是西台古堡前的小吃部賣的花枝丸,能吃到顆粒狀的花枝,真是太太太好吃了~ 蝦捲也不錯~
My favorite is the octopus ball which sold in front of the Si Islet Western Fort. You can taste the granulated squid, it is really delicious~ The shrimp roll also nice~

據說絲瓜也是澎湖的特產,只是我吃不出它有什麼特別的。
The loofah is known as Penghu’s specialty; but I can’t tell the different.


南瓜糕 Pumpkins Cake


土豆糕Peanut Cake

二崁古厝內也有道地的點心-土豆糕和南瓜糕。不知道是不是放置太久,有點硬硬的。

金瓜炒米粉也很油。
This pumpkin fried rice noodles is too oily.


最後,來澎湖一定要帶的手信就是黑糖糕。馬公市街上很多店家在賣,價錢大同小異。
Last but not least, the souvenir you must bring home is the brown sugar cake. There are a lots of stall selling on the MaGong street, and the price is almost the same.

這是表姊指定的黑妞黑糖糕,很軟很好吃。
This is what my cousin appointed, it’s soft and nice.

我的旅遊地圖 My Travel Map


剛去Couch Surfing申請了一個帳號,原本前幾年就要申請;但因為住所不方便就作罷。現在也是寄人籬下,所以唯有暫時放surfing嘍~
I just registered an account on Couch Surfing. I was thinking to apply few years ago; but there's no couch available. It's still inconvenient for me now, so my status is still "surfing".

網站裡有一個功能就是能輸入你所住過的地方、去過的地方、將要去的地方及想去的地方。雖然比起一些身邊的朋友,我所走過的國家比他們多。但從我的旅遊地圖上來看,我的足跡卻顯得有點稀稀落落。
There's a function which you can key in the place you stay, places you've been to,places you want to visit and places you are going to. Although i'd been to more countries comparing to my friends, but it looks empty on my travel map.

世界這麼大,還有很多很多地方正等著我呢~ 加油!
The world is too big, still a lots of countries waiting for me. Go Go Go!
