the last day in osaka.

Time goes fast and tonight is the last night in Osaka. What do i think of Osaka? Honestly, it is too quiet for me but i like it.

A big city should be noisy, crowded and fast both in moving and changing. Osaka is different. It is slow, quiet, neat and organized. However, you can find anything in osaka as well as in other so- called big cities. Transportation system is well built, shopping mall is easy found in town, and expence is not that high, so i have no reason not to like this city

Today i went to rinku town for shopping. Rinku town is a outlet shopping mall and there r so many famous brands, such as bally, diesel, gap, lavin, nike and so on. I was there for uniqlo and diesel so i spent 1400 yen for round trip. However there is no uniqlo in this mall and diesel is selling new arrived items. Thus, i was kind of regretful getting here cuz i can buy two tops of uniqlo with my train fare. There r two kinds of tourists. One is rich and buying so many stuff but i am the other. I just looked around this mall and dropped in a cafe to kill time. Being an economical tourist is not good to come here cuz if you dunnt buy clothes, you have nothing to do.

Last night should be sentiment but i am not. I know it is just the beginging. Japan, i love you.

2nd day in Osaka

Today is so exhausting but i enjoy it very much.

The first step to know this city is buy a subway ticket to Umeda. Why? cuz there is a tour information center and if you have no idea how to start your trip, just buy a ticket there and your trip will soon be begun. The question is how to buy the ticket. Although i take subway everyday in taipei, i still got the problem here. There is no english version so all you can do is read the pictures and follow it. Anyway, i got the ticket.

yesterday i found this city is quiet and so is today. Why? maybe there r few scooters on the streets and people don't talk too much through mobile. I saw them "thumbing" the phone more often than talking.

I am in Osaka

Eventually i got the hotel in Osaka and my trip is just begun. Hopefully it is a good start.

I got on the train and did not sure where it went but lucky me i got the hotel already! It took me 890 yen and 45 min, just like the book says. Travelling with a guidebook is always a good way to have a trip started. On the train, i saw many people getting off from work. They wore their suit and it looked so good and just like the people in Japanese drama. They always look neat and perfect whatever how old he is. That is a tradition i guess and i like it!

The night in Osaka is quiet. That is very weird because this is the second biggest city of Japan. The population of this city is 1200o thousand and almost half of Taiwan's. Big city should not be quiet but Osaka, so I will figure out why it is later. The streets are neat and clean but i think most of Japanese cities are like this so i am not surprised of that. Tomorrow i will go downtown to explore this city and i think i have to stop for now.

by the way, today is also the day Vincent goes to the army. Hope he will be ok.

旅行,動詞。

只要衝動,往往我們口中的旅行就可以變成動詞。上網點選,輸入基本資料與付款資料,很快地,一張機票在幾分鐘過後就到了我的信箱,之後再解決住宿的問題,也是重複著相類似的動作,旅行,即將成真,不再只是白天夢想的名詞,是個未來式,be going to的型態,目前欠缺的,只是起飛。

我就是個衝動的人,每次有個大型的計畫或完成一件長時間的工作,都會計畫旅行來抒解那長時間的鬱悶。有時呆在一個地方太久,會對周遭事物沒有太多感覺,而那沒有感覺,漸漸地會變成無情,一旦無情,對很多事情看法也就無所謂,無所謂,就是墮落的開始,為了不讓自己陷入那深淵,所以,選擇短暫移動,藉著移動來改變自己的對某一固定事物的看法,期待藉著不一樣的衝擊,讓自己的想法可以變化,如此,感覺會變,對很多事情又可以重燃感情,動力也重生了,還會無所謂嗎?無所謂的是那些膚淺的人際關係所帶來的煩惱。

旅行,因為實踐變得好有意義。現在的我欠缺的,也是起飛而已。


期待可以看到浴缸的旅行。

關於書寫

讀書時,老師總會固定出作文題目讓我們練習寫,當時覺得老師很煩,很不認真,因為作文課,老師只要坐在台前發呆就可以了,一堂課很輕鬆的就過去了,過份點的老師,還會花上兩節課來完成一篇作文。

現在,我總算知道為什麼老師要這樣做了,書寫,是種感覺,是種態度。一個月的時間荒廢書寫,現在打起字總覺得陌生,回想過去的一個月,想來個總結,卻力不從心,打字趕不上想法的跳躍,有時寫到這,腦子卻又冒出另一個想法了,文章斷斷續續的,沒有連貫,打字的人辛苦,我想閱讀的人也很難體會。這樣的書寫,沒有共鳴。失去共鳴的書寫,不過就是文字的組合,毫無感情。

現在我書寫不求共鳴,只希望可以慢慢找回那書寫的動力,為自己的生活作點記錄,就算我的人生過的很空白,至少我還有文字,文字紀錄著我的空白。那空白,至少不是一無所有。
