《回憶馬尼拉》Manila Nostalgia #throwback

It's interesting for us to experience the local transportation in Manila. It quite special for me because this is different from other south east Asia country such as tuk tuk in Thailand and Cambodia or becak in Indonesia.

For photo at top is front view of jeepney, for below left is back view of jeepney, below right is tricycle. All the jeepney in Manila with a name, and the one we took photo with is called Michelle.

I felt happy because I had the chance to ride on them during my vacation in Manila. You must take a ride on when you visit to Philippines next time.

在還沒出發去馬尼拉之前,我就聽說了菲律賓吉普車…既然都來到了,當然不能不去體驗道地的交通工具。這些菲律賓的交通工具都有別於泰國柬埔寨的嘟嘟或者印尼的becak。

馬尼拉的吉普車都好人性化,都有取名字。跟我們合影的就叫做米雪兒。

我自己很開心可以體驗得到馬尼拉的交通工具,除了照片中所看到的吉普車和tricycle…我還乘搭了當地的巴士、馬車和地鐵,雖說這些交通工具跟我國類似卻又有不同的感覺。

也不能說我沒有考慮到安全因素,只是就好奇使然想要體驗一下。最主要的是在這些交通工具上,是我們旅客最能感受當地居民的日常作息之一的觀光活動。其他比如到當地市集和在道地餐廳用餐都可以觀察得到當地人的風土民情。

旅行中,除了步行,選擇當地交通工具也是不錯的體驗。要是你有機會也來到馬尼拉,不妨放膽去嘗試這些交通工具吧!你會看到很多很有趣的事!

《在馬尼拉遇見的她》Met her in Manila #throwback

那天的行程就是閒逛SM Mall of Asia…由於手機不爭氣所以在攻下SM department store之後我就得跟旅伴們脫隊獨自一人在星巴克為手機充電…

拍了我最新的星巴克戰利品之後,我就開始發呆…看著落地玻璃外的小孩嬉鬧不禁微笑想用手機捕抓這一刻…這時左手邊有人問我“Where do you from?”

這是我跟Aunty Arlene開始聊的第一句話…她原本在翻閱手中的雜誌,也不懂怎麼突然就跟我聊天起來…從聊天中我才知道,Aunty Arlene原來只是五六十歲,穿著打扮色澤鮮豔不老氣。她回來馬尼拉只是為了避暑度假。

原來年輕時,她就是一位會計師。她遠嫁到南半球的紐西蘭,育有三位女兒都就職在澳洲。她的丈夫也會在月後來到馬尼拉,到時候他們計畫了到處遊走菲律賓探望親戚朋友。他們的好朋友多在韓國東南亞大洋洲和歐洲,當然就連馬來西亞也有他們的好朋友。真的是相識滿天下啊~

Aunty Arlene還跟我介紹了很多菲律賓的好景美食,她還一直寫了好多地方名字希望我有朝一日可以再回來菲律賓旅行。她說不管以後我回來菲律賓或者去紐西蘭都可以找她再聚。哈哈紐西蘭!這可是我Wish list 想去的國家之一,還不攀關係啊~

由於旅伴肚子餓要去食客中心祭五臟廟,我也必須離開了…臨別我跟Aunty Arlene來個擁抱並不忘敦促她一定要好好照顧自己。我懇切希望真的有機會可以有機會到紐西蘭去探望Aunty Arlene又或者可以跟隨她到澳洲韓國走走…她留了email給我希望我會把我們的合照寄給她。

我珍惜這樣的忘年交…在馬尼拉遇見的她…祝福Aunty Arlene…

《在馬尼拉遇見的他》Met Him in Manila #throwback

I know Jorge through couch surfing. We met up in my hotel in the early morning and accompanied us to Intramuros. He know well about Intramuros

He is funny guy, especially his Korean English and Japanese English, that's really interesting. I keep laughing all the time.

He accompanied us for whole day and sent us to taxi stand, he kind and friendly. Hopefully he will come to my country again and let us host him. May God bless you, Jorge. All the best and take care.

Jorge是我在馬尼拉約見的第四位沙發客,他這天帶我們去西班牙王城走走…他在前幾天就已經電話聯繫我討論這天的行程,我就預留了一天時間約見這位沙發客。

Jorge知道我們並不熟悉環境於是特意乘搭計程車來到我們的酒店陪我們吃早餐再帶我們乘搭捷運出發去西班牙王城。

他是個很有趣的人,總是以很妙的方式簡約回應我的問題…而且總是惹人發笑!這西班牙王城可是他的地盤因為他就在這裡上大學喔~

Jorge總是淺淺微笑著,臉上架著一副眼鏡給人文質彬彬的感覺…或許都跟韓國人日本人混在一起,他總是能夠模仿韓式英語和日式英語…他這一絕總令我們狂笑!或許只有我一個人才笑到差點斷氣!

他還幫我們找Kelesa(Tagalog的馬車意思),然後跟車夫議價砍價。他也帶我們嘗試當地學生最愛的快餐Chow King,還有帶我們窩在Cioccolata Churros Cafe喝冷飲消暑避暑。晚餐時,就帶我們到海洋公園Gerry's Grill享用晚餐。

一整天下來,Jorge還很照顧狀況不佳的我也很主動跟其他旅友聊天…很喜歡跟幽默的他相處!

其實人與人的相處真的很簡單…不需要複雜更不必經過修飾…自然而舒服…

《回憶馬尼拉》Manila Nostalgia #throwback

位於馬尼拉市區北部的古蹟-西班牙王城Intramuros是遊客必訪之處。它甚至是很多遊客在馬尼拉轉機時溜達的好去處,哪怕只是短短幾個小時。

西班牙王城其實並不大,半天時間就可以把這裡逛完。可是我卻選擇在這裡耗上了一天半的時間。前後兩天都來到了這裡卻還是沒能仔細漫遊走完…

雖說是古蹟,這裡也有幾所本地大學、酒店、快餐店、辦公樓、便利商店、民宅、餐廳和咖啡廳…出入這裡的人群很多都是年輕活力的臉孔…一點都不像是古蹟!

面對著照片中的聖地雅歌古堡Fort Santiago,我不禁雞皮疙瘩…這裡曾是西班牙統治菲律賓後,西班牙人對付外來入侵者的主要防禦地更是菲律賓國父-黎剎先生生前最後的關押地。我甚至不敢告訴旅伴這裡曾經是一個關押折磨殺害平民和游擊隊的囚牢…

西班牙王城讓我想起了同樣被人評論只看石頭的吳哥窟更讓我幻想到我wish list裡的巴塞隆納…好奇妙啊…在陌生的旅途中總會讓我墜入回憶又在預言一些什麼…

如果有機會再來到馬尼拉,我一定還會再來這裡走走看看…甚至考慮就住在西班牙王城裡再去吃一餐混合西班牙和菲律賓的自助料理…

《在馬尼拉遇見的他》Met Him in Manila #throwback

I knew Hermo through couch surfing. I'm glad to meet up with him that night. Actually he is going to overseas by the next day afternoon, but he still trying to fix his schedule for meet up.

We met up at the music lounge bar in Malate area. We didn't set any plan for that night, we just enjoyed the music and the lighting in the lounge bar.

I'm so appreciate with this handsome friend, Hopefully we can meet up again in the future. May God bless you and all the best.

Hermo是我在馬尼拉安排約見的第三位沙發客。原本真的沒有機會可以碰面因為他非常忙碌於工作,再加上被公司委派出國公幹。碰巧就是出差到吉隆坡。

在他努力協調後,我們還是碰面了。我們約見在Malate一家新開張的悠閒音樂廳…其實這晚並沒有設定什麼行程,只是輕鬆愉快地來點音樂和燈光配上冷飲…我們還玩起007的殺人遊戲!搞笑刺激!

或許新開張的關係,人潮並不多卻是讓我留下深刻印象…反正我們就是最海的那桌太引人注目了!

很多時候人與人之間的互動真的很簡單…不需要太多言語,只是微笑就可以了。

這一晚,我們享受著音樂和冷飲…用簡單不過的遊戲做橋樑…笑著瘋著…隨著音樂搖擺…我也成為大家的笑話…那不協調的肢體動作根本稱不上為律動!我不求第一次見面的朋友可以深交談心,至少我們都留下了最快樂的回憶在彼此心中

微笑能夠融化冷漠…絕對是!

《回憶馬尼拉》Manila Nostalgia #throwback

仰望這些彩色花窗…
日射玻璃璀璨奪目…
光線配合圖案…
上演著聖約的章節…
橙黃紅綠藍…
各寓意著不同的情緒…
彩色花窗所蕴含的…
是多少信徒的寄託…
在祥和平靜的氛圍中…
人們安靜了…
心也沉澱了…

《在馬尼拉遇見的他》Met Him in Manila #throwback

I met Gian at Greenwich Pizza restaurant in SM MANILA, he recognized me at first. Maybe not so hard for him to look for a foreigner in the local restaurant.

Once met up, I requested to take photo together. Because we will walk around in the city later, I will turn to oily face after a walk. We having a great time in Starbucks at Intramuros and also watched the fireworks at Manila bay.

He is very gentleman, he know to take care of girls but he is naughty too. Never mind, girls still like him very much. He tried to tap Lynn Hong​'s phone conversation but don't worry. He don't understand mandarins.

I'm glad to meet him although it's just a short catch up. I always wish to make friends with local, maybe we are not that close to each other but we promise to celebrate Christmas and count down together in future.

It's all about Timing, if I visit to Manila in June. I might not meet him because he fly to Taiwan for study around two months. After that he will move to Diliman.  The day we met up was crash with his exam period. He was preparing his exam but luckily he decided to take a rest and met up with us.

Thanks you, Gian. All the best to you for your Taiwan trip. May God bless you.

他是我在馬尼拉約見的第二位沙發客。我們約在SM MANILA碰面。雖然說大概看過照片但…是他先認出我的,真的太厲害了!我想可能在一個以當地人為主客的餐廳裡,要尋找一個外地人並不困難吧。

一見面我就先要求合照,免得待會走景點的時候滿臉油光拍照就不好看了。這天下午他會帶我們去走西班牙王城,然後在王城來個悠閒下午茶再去馬尼拉海灣看煙火。

一整天相處下來,他真的是很紳士。他不但會照顧隨行的女生而且總會默默地走在女生旁邊…可是他也很調皮搗蛋卻很受女生歡迎…還會去偷聽女生講電話…哈哈但是別擔心!他根本聽不懂中文!哈哈哈!

很開心能夠和他碰面相識,雖然只是那短短幾個小時但我已經覺得很開心了。我一直都希望可以有機會認識每個國家當地的朋友。或許我們並沒有相熟到可以稱兄道弟…這倒是在我們幾個人心中播下了友情的種子…所以真的很期待未來有機會再來馬尼拉過聖誕跨年!這是我們幾個的約定。

有時候真的不得不說,我很慶幸。要是我遲了一個月來馬尼拉,他就已經飛去臺灣當兩個月的交換生了。要是我遲了三個月來馬尼拉,我也不見得會碰到他因為他今年八月就要搬離馬尼拉北上到Diliman上大學。而這一次見面也正好碰上了他的考試閉關期!今天又正好是他想要出來放鬆心情的時候…所以所以一切都那麼湊巧…

旅行有一個你永遠都無法掌控的元素就是Timing…也因為Timing才會讓你的旅途充滿驚喜!

It's all about Timing!!

《回憶馬尼拉》Manila Nostalgia #throwback

在遊記上所看到的都是經過修飾的美好…選擇放大快樂而遺忘那些疲憊…

旅行啊…總會有些不完美的部分…之所以深刻動人是因為你能夠感受它的美…同時也接受它的不足…
