New Discovery

A new year comes and hope after this article, I can really have a new start!

Though it's too late, but I loved you :) You are right, I don't like to express coz i don't know how to do so. But one day on the way home, I just realized, yes, i loved you.

你的呼吸 還有你的聲音

你的呼吸 穿過身體 我來不及反應
你的聲音 躲在耳裡 讓我生病
謝謝 你給的讓我沉迷 讓我丟掉了姓名
在好奇的時候 拉不住眼睛

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去
渺小的自尊都快要拋棄
我想我不會愛你 只是也許

你的嘆息 散落一地 讓我歇斯底里
靠得太近一不小心 弄傷自己
謝謝 你給的讓我沉迷 讓我困住了自己
在迷路的時候 捨不得離去

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去
渺小的自尊都快要拋棄

我想我不會恨你 傷的痕跡
住在我心底變成了秘密

我想我不會愛你 害怕失去
所以逞強的 遠遠看著你
我想我不會恨你 只是也許

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去
渺小的自尊 都快要拋棄
我想我不會恨你 傷的痕跡
住在我心底 變成了秘密

我想我不會愛你 害怕失去
所以逞強的 遠遠看著你
我想我不會恨你 只是也許

room issue

Now I get it.

Yesterday when i was in my friend's place, suddenly i can understand the fear if i face the same situation.

It's always something like that, isn't it? If I were in Brazil (yeah, coz brasilian is too dangerous!), I will never ever enter a guy's room only with him unless I wanna make some illusions. Especially there in Brazil, if you do so, something gonna happen in the next minute.

For me, bedroom is a private space, even you r my friend, you have the chances to visit my house but doesn't mean u have the chance to enter my bedroom and not to mention to sit on my bed... Imagine this: one day a woman enters ur bf's bedroom without let u know and stay for 2 hours. Although there is nothing to do between them, but when you think about that, u won't like it.

Actually there is nothing, just happened and i thought about it.

對話

我妹說 如果都沒連絡 那也沒什麼好留念的啦

很有道理 但是痛苦卻一點一滴在蔓延
以為這次不會痛了 好像無法不把它當一回事
越是忽略 想到的那剎那 越是痛苦
開始後悔起當初腦袋裡的想法 怪那張明信片

那已經不會再是我最愛的城市之一
那照片
那手
那笑容
如果回憶可以打包 我想就把它放在某個角落

忙碌的找事作 看電視
爲的是逃避msn或是任何能清楚知道你動態的方式
一個月 還不夠久吧
短到上facebook仍不由自主的了解你最近的生活
那天手癢 又或許醉了
腦袋空空 短暫的對話
我覺得以我的好奇心+忌妒心
很快會引爆下一次的對話

從品牌策略觀點看男女關係

星期四在貿協上了堂課關於品牌的策略觀點，個人覺得是也還滿適合用在男女關係上(不知道老師知道我的想法後他會覺得我舉ㄧ反三還是不受教…哈哈)。在課堂中，老師用了AIETA來說明一項產品要被買方接受時所會經過的過程：

基本定義

Aware:藉由各式方式，讓顧客認識產品，知道產品的存在
Interest:讓對方對產品產生興趣
Evaluation:資訊收集, 評估該產品對需求的適合度
Trial:試用期，或許從週邊服務開始使用該產品
Adoption:接受該產品

男女關係 (其實將上述所有”產品”轉化為”你”)

Aware:藉由任何公開場合中讓別人知道你的存在
Interest:雷達搜尋到合適的目標，讓目標對你產生興趣，進而認識你
Evaluation:在認識的過程中，了解對方的personality，以及你想知道的一切，並作評估，對方是你的ideal type
Trial:製造相處機會，從曖昧到交往
Adoption:交往 and so on

產品在不同的階段則有不同的推廣重點，在Aware和Interest階段，重點是在於減少消費者的資訊搜尋成本，像FMCG產業在這時候會花重金打廣告；而價格越高的產品，越需要得到消費者的信任，這時候品牌的道德危機成本就很重要。

以感情關係為例，不是每個人都只想出來玩玩的吧！想找到一個好的感情歸宿對我而言所需的成本就很高。在前面兩個階段，如何運用人脈關係或是多參與活動就很重要，至少要能在不同的活動中找到你的target，在此同時，自己的branding也很重要，因為你在觀察別人同時也有人在觀察你，所以這時候女生們就有權利花大錢在治裝彩妝上。看到target如何藉由當天互動讓對方對你產生興趣，接下來又如何讓他很快搜尋到你的資料，也就很重要啦! facebook也真的是一個搜尋好物...

在不同的region，產品的AIETA過程也會不一樣，比方說在巴西，從aware到evaluation可以一個晚上就搞定，在趴踢中男女生都是hunter，但只要一相中獵物，沒花多久就可以評估了，而且我只能說巴西男孩show interest十分的快穩準狠，這些技巧都是台灣男生該學習的! 可是evaluate完有沒有後續這就難說，只有接吻但是話不投機 or 聊的很開心但是接吻後發現沒有chemistry...這些都會出局。能從trial到adoption階段就要很長，才開始是getting to know each other in ANY aspects! 所以想要名正言順是很難的!

反觀台灣，從show interest就有很大的困難，我們連跨出第一步都不知道如何開始(這個我要是開相關公司一定有賣點,把每個男孩送到巴西生活2個月回來必定大有改善)。


好吧,昨天晚上睡不著都是在想這些,如果有想到其他的再補充...

時間殺很大

今年年初所訂的2010 Goal, 該是時候檢視一下 (話說是昨天聊天時驚到)：

1. 6月中回台灣之後準備申請2011研究所
2. 回台灣同時要找個工作養活自己,希望8月前上工
3. 年底前至少不變胖(只可以瘦不可以胖)

發現：原來計畫永遠趕不上變化

想當初信誓旦旦的回台灣就是要準備MBA,但以我坐不住的個性,就找了一份頭路,所以最起碼我的第二項目標完成了,不過我的MBA美夢就這樣暫時告一段落,如果2012世界還沒毀滅,是可以考慮成為我的目標.只是兩個月的光景,一切就不一樣了.

只是,不一樣的,也包括我的愛情.

我一直以來都覺得遠距離不是問題,只要有一天能見面能在一起,在那一天之前的努力都是值得.我想或許柏拉圖式的愛情是適合我的, 然而我卻錯估了這過程中最serious的殺手--時間. 

時間除了長短也有時差之別,11個小時對還沒有工作時的我,沒有差別,我可以顛倒作息配合他的時間.從我開始上班,他的事業也忙碌後,11個小時變成了五天甚至更久,一個禮拜中也只有週末才能看得見彼此的存在. 只是簡單的問候,該討論的事項一直被pending,回到家打開電腦,又是一次的失望,fine. 你沒時間,我沒時間,所以甚麼時候我們才有共同的時間？

心裡明白一直在找藉口希望能夠繼續,而且這麼優質的人我實在不想放棄,可能我就是在針對那最後一個答案執著吧,要是我對我的MBA之旅有那麼執著那就好了!


好累,最後一根稻草快來吧！

A different me

It's different, I can feel it. People, activity, music, life and everything.

Of course I don't want to put myself in an always-compared situation, however, I just cannot stop it. 2 years do changed lots of stuff, i found my loved land, my loved life style and people.

I even miss Portuguese, sometimes I just couldn't help to say, "como?", "tchau", "vamos", when I just realized I'm talking with people who don't understand Portuguese at all, a smile is rised and those memory appear in my mind :)

A different way to live my life now, who knows what's gonna happen in next 2 years, but for sure I will go back to find my wonderland, my dreamed life. Just need to be optimistic,  be mature then head to my future!

vou morrer por causa das saudades de vcs! mas do que posso fazer? to aki em taiwan, vivo aki todo dia, mas perdi meu coracao la com vcs. que long o distancia, aiii, vou pensar um jeito e resolve!!  

小murmur

算一算回來也快20天了 是不算無所事事 但還是有個失落感在
畢竟也兩年不在台灣 有時候聊起天來的感覺就是不一樣
也不是生疏 是一種我好像知道你在幹嘛但變化也不大
可能是網路太發達 每個人的大事 很容易三言兩語帶過
但小事卻又那麼微不足道 很多時候是長期的累積才懂的

晚上睡覺 少了室友每天的update和murmur
轉角的StarClean和Redi也不再垂手可得
原本台幣200元就可以喝到肚子撐的啤酒 現在只有一杯
晚上沒有大學的趴踢 沒有尖叫 沒有狂歡
家裡沒人跟你討論昨晚發生什麼事
超市裡找不到Muzalela, Oregano, 也沒有我最愛的 Kibon冰淇淋

現在好宅阿
我的工作沒有同事 也不用跟老闆討論什麼
唯一的好處只是穩定收入
六日沒車好熱也懶得出門 我巴西的活力在哪咧?
該怎辦 我的reintegration作的不大好
好想回巴西呀!

ninquem mais conversa comigo na noite no quarto, ninquem bebe comigo durante o jogo, ninquem grita ou ri alto comigo, nao tem festas, nao tem o starclean nem o redi, preciso o dalben tb! Que saudades pra minhas gansas e o barao geraldo! To com saudades das tudas coisas no Brasil!! Entao, preciso pensar um jeito pra minha vida, como volto pra Brasil logo!? Ou como melhora minha vida aki em Taiwan! certo?

你

ok 這篇還是用中文寫, 一來他看不懂二來還是用中文比較清楚
那兩個星期是我一直用來細細品嘗, 如果未來不是你,至少還曾經瘋狂過

到了的那天,我也是走緊張路線,畢竟那幾個月我們都是靠msn
我的幻想遠超於現實中我敢作的 這也是日後爭執的導火線吧XD
第一個晚上我在沙發上

第二天: Casa Rosada 成為我的最愛 因為是我們倆第一次一起參觀的地方
聽你說著阿根廷的歷史 其實沒經過那樣年代的我很難想像
第二個晚上 Flash Forward開始成為最愛的影集 連我回台灣都還在追

第三天: 一早 我們去參加你的馬拉松
很開心我起了個大早陪你去 是阿 我也很開心在7度的早晨早起
準備了很久 但成績還不是你理想的目標 很洩氣
下午我們去逛了保育區 聊了好多東西 也更了解你

Tigre, 我這次的目的地之一
原本你應該陪我去的 :( 每次都是這樣 無論如何你都是有理的那一方!
一個人 只能有你的簡訊陪伴
晚上逛超市 Aleja來家裡用晚餐 關係大躍進

我最喜歡的是這天了
我小小的打扮 你也是 看起來帥氣無敵
今天才是名符其實的約會
牽著手在大街上走 接吻 倒立(?)
我們在電影院看了羅賓漢 好笑的是有8分鐘的中場休息
你說是接吻用的 (回頭一看 還真的是大家都在接吻!!)

每天一顆的巧克力

接下來就是回你的城市拜訪家人和朋友
8小時的車程緊緊相挨 你偷抱怨我早你一天回家 哼哼
瘋狂的一天 你爸媽,你弟,姑姑和奶奶 說不緊張也都是騙人的
這是我第二喜歡的一天
這天晚上 你第一次吃醋 :)
club中帶你看可愛男還是我的錯
但也聽到了真心話 也讓我不得不考慮我的未來
club中的倒立(大心) 你朋友覺得我們好怪 哈哈
睡覺前傳了封簡訊給你

接下來的幾天我最不喜歡了
笨蛋如你 竟有另外的朋友一起來 跟我住同一間 :(
晚上在club你說早上再生我氣 因為收到我莫名其妙的簡訊
討好你 我第一次主動吻你 不要生氣嘛
結束後的男孩搭訕 引起個大爭執
是我第一次說喜歡你
好多第一次 都是你的 第一次把心剖開給男孩知道
第一次學習怎麼住在一起
第一次拜訪人家家庭
加上不會說西文的壓力
但我更加喜歡你了
你說 不准在你面前跟別人調情(冤枉阿大人) 害我戰戰兢兢

好多好多故事
但我最喜歡你的陪伴了
我只喜歡那公寓裡只有我們的日子
讓我一個人孤單睡了一晚
我喜歡只有我們倆個的城市
爭吵後每天的熊抱 1-2-3-抱
每天討論晚餐和上超市
晚上的影集 床邊故事 and so on
2個星期 好喜歡你

我今年的另一個目標
因為你 成為我的動力!

要回家了, 6 hours more

再3天, 就要回台灣了,巴西的生活就要畫下句點
之前失蹤了2個星期, 在阿根廷的生活有甜蜜, 快樂, 爭執,所有的一切, 是我現在超級想念的!

(以下是在LA轉機的感想,我一整個懶惰不想分兩篇)
It's so strange that there was not even one tear dropped when I left Brazil. I guess it's because I truly believe I will go back one day for sure, maybe very soon :) Or actually I'm a cold person !?
It's really hard to make me cry unless some stressful situation! (which makes me remind the last time I cried, so stressful)

On the way I kept thinking for all the things:
1. SHIT, it's really far from Taiwan that took more than 30 hours for 1 way, and I hate to sit on the flight for a long time as well. However, if I set up my mind to back, to see all my lovely friends, to step on my lovely and familiar land, I definitely will fly again! but it's really painful :(

2. I'm very calm, don't feel any excited or special since I'm so close to the home and my another group of lovely friends. No idea, maybe need to thanks to the convenience of internet. We have no distance to each other, but it seems I need to catch up all the "news" again.

3. my life will keep continuing, keep thinking for my next step, and for sure, I do really need to achieve my goal: study my master degree! besides, I can consider more possibilities after I really get the offer. So, wait for me, my friends :) I will visit u randomly someday somewhere :D

my april

隔很久沒update我的網誌就是代表我的生活很快樂^_______^
再一個月就要回家囉 照往例回家前一定要好好享受一下巴西的生活
加上這一次 有可能不回巴西了 (哭哭) 所以一定要好好參加每一場啪踢!

1. 阿根廷再出發:
再10來天就要到阿根廷去了!這次辦簽證核發的很阿殺力 今天直接打來約我去拿簽證的時間
跟上次都不一樣 果然去過了一次一切都好說呀!
到現在跟他也都保持的很不錯 應該會隨他一起回家相見家人 有點緊張 呵呵
葡萄牙文都說不好了 還要說西班牙文 一整個又要鬧笑話
但我真的覺得我屬於見不得別人對我好那一型 事情還沒成以前 成天提心吊膽
就連msn上一天兩天沒聊就失去了信心
但當事情成了以後 就開始覺得棘手了 還是對我若即若離些我會比較習慣 Orz
我覺得我這個人真的很不值得被喜歡耶...

2. 另一枝嫩草:
每次要回台灣前總是特別炙手可熱 是要回台灣的女人比較不會勾勾纏?
是個小帥哥鄰居 屬於憨厚可愛型
想把他收藏在你的玩具箱 心情不好可以拿出來捏一捏那一種
身為一個25歲的姐姐被19歲少男喜歡上真是可喜可賀阿
受過姐姐的調教 小嫩草真的很有爆發的潛力!很想把他當娃娃每天抱著!
現在天秤的兩端被小嫩草和A男佔據中

3. 大自然的女孩:
上星期六日的行程是我始料未及的! 我都不知道我可以如此的大自然化
但是我真的覺得這樣的經驗一次就夠了!
去泛舟還有攀岩?(就是有繩子 然後你從上而下降下來那種)旁邊有瀑布
有個moment 我的安全帽還被瀑布的水給打歪 真是嚇死我了!
另外一個就是從一個高點飛向另外一個低點中間是山谷
我只能說在飛出去的那一剎那 真是太太恐怖了! 我一整個尖叫到讓工作人員不停恥笑我
尖叫聲回蕩在山谷中也真是夠另類的了
我覺得我還是做個都市女孩比較符合我的本性
去mall逛逛 吹冷氣 看電影 喝下午茶 才是我的愛...好物慾的生活呀...

4. 無止盡的啪踢:
上個禮拜根本就沒有休息到 卡在中間的假日就是啪踢和烤肉 反而隔天要上班弄的更累
但是只要一想到之後回台灣根本不會有類似的啪踢出現 就一整個想哭哭並振奮了!
samba, pagode,forro, funky, setanejo, axe 都是台灣人不會聽的音樂
男孩的腰 甜言蜜語 瘋狂的陌生人都要成為絕響 所以我決定要好好參加每一場啪踢!

點心時間-手工餅乾

最近 過著清心寡慾的生活 又是一個週期
已經很久沒去啪踢了呀!(遠望遙想)
活力四射小少女的心已離我遠去
現在在家默默當個女傭(?)
昨天約莫晚上10點多 我朋友來我家按門鈴要我一起去bar小喝幾杯
(巴西人真的有病 14度冷風颼颼照喝不誤)

我走出去應門的那瞬間 發現我穿的很落魄
當時廚房裡的烤箱正烤著餅乾(今天的主題) 我為了打發等待的時間
正在洗刷刷我的白布鞋 (好髒呀 為了穿出去不讓人嫌 趕快刷一下 )
我朋友傻眼: Sphinx! What r u doing?
才發覺 我的社交生活已經靜止快兩星期了!
但我卻過的怡然自得阿!

唉呀 回來我的第一次作餅乾就上手
上禮拜做了奶酪和蛋糕 覺得不精進一下不行 只會那兩樣怎麼活
加上最近想減肥 很多零食都沒買了 啤酒飲料也沒喝(我現在去bar都喝無糖現打柳丁汁唷!)
昨天 google一下 發現作餅乾似乎不是一件難事 而且時間不用太長
吃完晚飯後 就來試了一下
材料:

麵粉 150g  (我不知道低中高筋 只要是麵粉!)
紅茶包 2個
砂糖 60g (發現太多 40g應該就夠)
無鹽奶油 60g
鹽 少許
煉乳 20g
鮮奶油 10g

步驟:
1. 篩麵粉並把紅茶包的紅茶道出來灑在麵粉中拌勻 (我室友說樣子好像發霉唷)
2. 奶油室溫溶化與砂糖一起攪拌(我懶惰有稍微微波20秒溶化)
3. 灑鹽少許在麵粉中 煉乳 鮮奶油也加進去(不一定要鮮奶油啦 我自己冰箱有什麼都加一點)
4. 把2倒進麵粉堆中攪拌均勻
5. 拿保鮮膜把剛剛的麵粉團包起來 放到冷凍庫25分鐘
6. 麵團拿出來桿勻 可以用刀切成四方形 或是任意搓揉成圓形 想捏成海綿寶寶也可以
7. 烤箱預熱200度 麵團在烤盤上鋪好 烤個30分鐘

很簡單吧 在剛烤的時候我朋友就來了 害我衝忙換了衣服
沒想到餅乾還沒烤好
只能跟餅乾說掰掰 要我室友照顧
當我回家 發現我的餅乾已經被吃掉2塊了 Orz
但是有到2塊 也是代表它好吃啦
有圖有真相

PK (這標題不錯)

今天早上起床室友M就給我個驚喜
她說昨晚室友k告訴她 在某個啪踢中跟P接吻了
然後P正是我也曾經接吻過的對象
還記得最後一次似乎是一個月以前 加上以前他追我的瘋狂行徑
不得不讓我大嘆 巴西男人果然沒一個好
嘴巴上我樂見其成 但心裡的疙瘩卻漸漸浮現
小惡魔:這男的也太不挑了吧
小天使:沒關係啦 這男的也還好
小惡魔:馬的 不只一次 是被親假的
小天使:巴西人不都這樣嗎? 幹麻計較

我的心態就很像是下棋一樣
我的卒不想動 但你的帥也不准跑 更不能吃我的士
但這是哪來的必要?
對自己生氣了一下 明明對人家沒感覺
但就是頓時發現這男的也太誇張 對住同間屋子的女孩下手
這樣讓我們作何感受
可是後來腦袋轉了一下
我好像也作過一樣的事 這樣只許州官放火不許百姓點燈也說不過去
抱怨歸抱怨
現在感覺好多了
不過 我想我應該不會再搭理這位男士了
但恭喜P因為這件事得到我的網誌入場券

Argentina trip 3: Route 40 and el Chalten

At first, Chalten was not in our original plan, well, even Route 40.  We chose Route 40 from Bariloche to el Calafate, for this, we will need to stop for 2 different cities for 2 nights, then, we decided to stay in el Chalten for one more night.

Route 40 is opened in summer and autumn only, besides this way, u have another alternative but I guess it takes longer time. On the way to south, what you can see is only the sands, dirts, and random animals show up. Here we met people from different places, but we didn't talk too much on the bus, even me and Luisa. As usual, I slept while stay on transportation, or sometimes I looked the view outside. The road situation was really bad, and sometimes the maximum of the limit is 20km/hr only, so u can imagine why it takes so long and nobody really wanna stay on the bus...

When we were in Bariloche, kept hearing from other backpackers describe how wonderful el Chalten is, when our bus got close to the little town, it really looks amazing, if you arrive a little town of Finland. It was in the night, we couldn't see very clear, but u can see all the lights turn on, and the town is surrounded by mountains.

The next morning, we walked around the small town, to know what we can do, it's a small and charming town. The man in the information center told us, we can go trekking, and there are 2 routes we can choose from, one is 6 hours and another is 8 hours go and back. For we 2 girls from modern city who never ever climb mountain, of course we chose the one 6 hours.

Wow, until now, I still feel proud of myself that I finished the tough super trekking. For normal people, maybe they don't feel anything, but for me, who doesn't like exercise at all, it's really tough and I even tried to give up, and just because I couldn't since everyone really needs to WALK back by yourself.  But there is one thing I was so impressive is the view during we were walking, it reminds me an ancient Chinese poetry: 松下問童子 何處採藥去 只在此山中 雲深不知處

Although the process was difficult, the result was great!! We saw the amazing glacier lake and beautiful birds flying around, once in a while, i felt it was snowing on the road!! Anyway, I love the small town and the trail, I do recommend the trekking since Chalten is the capital of trekking in Argentina, but i will never do the trekking again, hahaha. So....I don't know when I will write my next destination after Chalten, it's another beautiful city as well, Calafate!! oh, I hope I can finish all these before my next time to Argentina!!!!

There is no endless feast

Today, another passenger is going to get off from Sphinx’s rapid train. I don't remember how many of them got off already, however, I didn't feel too sad about the parting since I believe we will meet someday somewhere. 

Isn’t it another kind of happiness to browse their news through any social communication tools? You will be happy for their traveling, growth and new life. Meanwhile, when you have some vacations and plan to travel around, you don’t need to hesitate, cause you have friends from all over the world :D 

Bye, Agne :)

a Comma of my life

It's my 22nd months here in Brazil, 2 months more, I will pack all my memories and back to my hometown, where i lived for more than 20 years :) This time, as my current plan, will also be a short stay there in Taiwan, then the next stop should be Europe.

Well, back to the days here in Brazil, i'm so glad that i decided to accomplish my internship here. I knew the culture from another side of the world, learned to be more open minded, leaned how to manage a totally independent life, and of course fell in love the different culture.

I am lucky that from the beginning, besides the language barrier, I have almost no problems with my life here. Living with 11 girls in a big house with swimming pool, existing friends from AIESEC, a job with flexible environment, knowing friends from different corners of the world. Thanks GOD for arranging such a joyful experience to me, let me learn how to live a different life, love different people, and enjoy every moment I had.

Although it's not so smooth as everyone saw, of course i had ever suffered from home sick, being depressed of unsuccessful work, fight with someone close or even experienced the typical brazilian heart broken, however, i would like to say, if i have never chosen to be here, I will still be an ordinary girl who work hard as the way she should be and still as capricious as a kid...

Yes, there is going to have a comma in my journey, I think I really know what I need for my next landmark. 2 years after, hope there is another aspect of Sphinx (Wei) for everyone, more intelligent, elegant and still passionate to know every single detail of the world :) 

女人

或許在某一程度上 女人都是情緒取向的 不論你有多麼的理性
面對他之前 可能已經反覆在腦裡思考怎樣作是對自己最好的選擇
在面對他時 腦袋停止思考 傻傻的沉浸在對話的喜悅中
面對他之後 原來的計畫改變 他說的都對
在下一次見面前 又自以為理性反覆的在腦裡思考一切
然後 無限迴圈

有些時候 女人向你尋求建議 往往只是為了找到另一個支持"她"想法的人
而不是真的尋求建議
你叫她不要往東走 她偏偏一股腦的就硬要往東
因為她深信在東邊肯定有奇蹟 說穿了 就是不見棺材不掉淚
除非到了東邊 什麼都沒發生或是一片荒無
傻一點的就會傻傻的相信 再等一下 再等一下
聰明點的就認賠殺出了 但 對往東走這件事 並不後悔
再聰明點的 我想 走到半路 就知道該回頭了

而我 就是這樣的生物

2010 Carnaval in Salvador!

Tutata Tututarara... Chiclete com Banana
Eu sou lobo mal, au au, Vou te comer, vou te comer!
Rebolation tion tion, rebolation

The stereotype for carnival is something you see on the TV which happened in Rio de Janeiro, people wear exaggerate costume and dance in samba. Yes, it's the one in RJ, however, in Salvador everything is totally different!!!! The above are some POPULAR songs during the carnaval in Salvador!!! And we call it Axé, you don't need to know how to dance perfectly as long as you know how to JUMP. Yes, just jump with the melody is enough :)

Pre-carnival officially started from 11th Feb, but we can say they started just right after new year!! So, for the whole carnival, it's 11th-16th Feb, during the whole period, you will have a crazy, exciting and unpredictable experience there. WHY?

1. Go out in the night and back to home in the early morning: Actually it's all day long program. Can you imagine those famous singers and bands non-stop singing for 6 hours at least?? All for free, that's why you dont wanna miss the chance to see them in front of you!! (白話點就是免費看蔡依林和周杰倫在電子花車上唱5個小時 誰不會想從晚上站到白天?)

2. Watch out the crazy people, polices and yourself: It's too crowd there if you just stand next by and dont wanna pay and stand in a safe place to watch. It's tooooooo expensive to pay for Camarote (safer place with drinks and food), like USD$200 per night, me and my friends chose just stayed outside and jump with those locals. The first day, my local friend just warned: dont stay in front of the polices since you will hurt when they move. Yes!! since people are too crazy and drunk, they will need those polices to maintain the manners, also, the polices are 5 in a group. Damn, i saw them hit people, i believe i dont wanna try. Also, some thieves they will try to steal when everything is a mess. watch out and just put your money inside the BRA! and only bring the necessary amount out.

3. Carnival effect--Kisses wherever: I have no idea why it's necessary to kiss whoever u meet in carnival, at least, for me it's meaningless. Once I passed by people, they will call "Japa Japa" or said "A li ga do u"(Thanks in Japanese) "sa yo ra na" (Goodbye in Janpanese). I just thought it's funny and stupid, my friends told me "So, Wei, you should try to kiss those who can recognize you as Taiwanese or Chinese at least", hahah. What a joke!

But there is a funny group for guys called "Filhos de Gandy" (sons of Gandhi). Every guy will have the same dress and with lots of necklaces, for those necklaces are for them to put on girls after they kiss....so, you will see how the guys try to put and how many will girls gain those necklaces :)))

(In the picture, they are waiting for the girls pass by and kiss....sooo funny!!)

For me, it was such a great experience to travel to Salvador and especially for carnival! Although u may gain weight since drink beers for 6 nights...but it still worth to see one of the biggest carnival in the world, to experience the crazyness of Brazil!!! I LOVE BRAZIL :)))

所以?

上禮拜你打開視訊 問我還記不記得你
是不是帥了點 可愛了點 鬍子多了點?
你說你也想看看我 沒視訊的我 只好傳了相簿網址讓你解相思
每次稱讚都讓人飄飄然的你果不期然也再次使出相同招數
你說 這樣的下午喜歡有我的陪伴

想我 也說明了你沒辦法來看我
我懂 因為我有一樣的朋友 創業初期的困難
謝謝你老實告訴我
想念我 你說 希望我再去 因為等我們見面時 我們倆會過的很開心

討論結束
80%的決心要再去見你一面
剩下的20%是漂泊不定的因子作祟
沒有把握想見你的心情能持續到在見面前的那一刻

嘉年華的瘋狂讓我暫時忘了一切紛擾
但瘋狂過後帶來的是不解
究竟 每天對著電腦喜怒哀樂的我 是為了什麼?
還有八十多個日子
能否維持一樣的心
我懷疑我自己

Argentina trip 2: Bariloche

After the modern city, it's time to travel to the south! the first stop we are going to visit is Bariloche! It's a city with beautiful European architectures and chocolate :) Here, you can enjoy chocolate in different flavors, being hot chocolate, milk shake, with cakes! I think I probably gained some weights there!

Well, from BsAs to Bariloche, we took a nonstop bus for 20 hours! However, it was not a tough trip,  we were served as princesses in the bus, we got 4 meals, wine, champaign, and a cute waiter. When we arrived, it was very cold like you need to put more jackets on and you can see lots of tourists here as well.

Another thing makes me feel amazing is you see the sunset only till 10pm!! Oh my god, it's my first time to feel that....even in Brasil, the sky starts to be dark around 7 or 8pm is enough, don't mention till 10pm! How people can sleep under such situation?

So....what's the attractive point of Bariloche? The national park, Nahuel Huapi, is one of the best view I have ever known in Bariloche. Here, you can book a trip from hostel and they will gather people from different hostels, at this moment, you will meet people from different countries, u can listen their travel stories, share feelings and imagine your next steps.

One more thing that we were there for our Christmas night, for me, the Christmas' eve doesn't have so many meanings since i'm not catholic or christian. But you can see everyone is busy for missal or even in the night, need to dress well to have a good dinner with those you are with. Or at least, a party is necessary, haha. However, the next day we are going to our next stop: Chalten via Route 40 in the early morning, for us, not a big deal!!!

給你

原來在決定下一步前的這段曖昧 是整段遊戲的精華
兩人高來高去 但隱約感覺的到那甜甜的氣息
就連在鍵盤上舞動的手指 都為那幸福的文字而戰慄
腦海中不斷撥放著相處的片段 記憶著每次對話
只想早點飛到你身邊  大聲說:我好喜歡你 :)

記得吸血鬼故事中 狼人的"命定"嗎?
第一次有人讓我有這樣的感覺
第一次感受到思念就像是百條蟲啃蝕著骨頭

想像小王子那般旅行 卻希望像小王子的的狐狸"請你馴服我吧!"
成為你記憶中唯一與特別的狐狸
最後 不是小王子要離開 而是狐狸要離開
我想在我離開的時候 你會哭的
