噓！我是小蝦。

2005鄭成功文化節，相關網址：http://koxinga.tnta.org.tw/

        這文化節應該是第二年，今年看到了官方網站忍不住要向大家推薦！這年頭大家都在談文化產業，然而，所見的大都只是將文化劣質商業化，出發點很好，但都沒有用心在做，那些什麼節的都像是統一COPY版本移到各地去一樣，看了都只能搖頭。

        但這次這活動中的許多小活動感覺有在用心，像網拍鄭成功文物館館主、尋找鄭成功、成功便當、郵寄成功、戰袍試穿、鄭成功開運彩妝還有許多古蹟導覽活動等等。我真的想為這次的籌畫團隊拍拍手！Good Job！這些活動都讓人有耳目一新的感覺，然而，實際成效如何，就有待活動日的來到再來瞧瞧囉~

        其實台南市政府常常有辦這類的文藝活動，台南也有著相當多的資源辦這類的文化活動，或許是因為宣傳不夠，常常參與的人不是很多，但我覺得這不是藉口，當有些人酸酸地說著什麼活動都在台北時，是否有反省自己是否有去參與一些近在幾呎的活動呢？並不是外地的月亮就比較圓的呀！辦活動是需要民眾的參與才能將其擴大的！ 

        我希望大家有空去活動場地逛逛吧！台南在這方面的努力需要大家的肯定！

        呵呵！或許有人會想反駁說：這活動也是將文化商業化吧~ 嗯嗯，不可否認是如此，但有用心的優質商業化跟隨便copy的劣質商業化是不同的。看到一個有用心的文化活動會覺得很感動，應該給予鼓勵！

有個很重要的事情！

聽起來是一個很贊的活動！明天等著看看囉~

呵呵！我知道我還欠一篇ten places還沒完成啦！只是想到要寫中文又要寫英文就偷偷想自動跳過，（真是一個愛自找麻煩又愛找藉口的小蝦～）

7、【天母】以前同學之間總會說住天母的人是有錢人，然後住天母的同學就會回：「我是住天母的窮人！」在士林區，天母算是比較高級的住宅區，主要是因為曾經有美軍駐留等，加上現在的美國學校、日僑學校也位於天母，這邊就成為一個比較國際化的地區，會有一堆異國風情的怪店。至於天母這名詞的由來也很好笑，傳說是當年美軍來到這地方，問當地民眾此處是何處，當地居民聽不懂英文就回「聽瞴！」然後那美國人就以為在回答他地名為「天母」！呵呵，那我不住天母為何挑天母為我的ten places呢？我的大伯、姑姑還有叔叔都住天母，小時後常常到他們家玩，然後國中到天母補鄧肯英語補習班，高中也到天母郭洋補數學，508、279、606等天母線公車都屬我台北的記憶。

7、【Tien Mu】I didn’t live in Tien Mu, but I went to some cram schools in Tien Mu and some of my relatives live there. My classmates always said that the people who live in Tien Mu are rich when I studied in Taipei.  Then, the classmate who lives in Tien Mu would say that she is the poor person who lives in Tien Mu.  There was an American garrison（I am not sure it is the correct word.）in this area.  The American school and Japanese school are also located in Tien Mu.  Therefore, here becomes the more internationalized area in Taipei.  There are several exoticism stores here.  The reason of name “Tien Mu” is also funny.  People said that when those American militaries came here and asked those residents where the place is.  However, the residents couldn’t understand English, and answer “Tian Muo”（in Taiwanese, means “I can’t understand what you said.”）Then, the American thought he was answering the name of the place “Tien Mu”! 

8、【芝山岩】芝山岩可說是士林最有名的古蹟吧！傳說在我阿公那一代士林國小是位於芝山岩的，小學時常常被要求做芝山岩的報告。至於古蹟的詳細情形我實在給它忘了。從我有記憶以來，每年初一整個家族皆會到芝山岩惠濟宮拜拜。（我想，很多士林人都是這樣的吧！）還有，我考高中和考大學時都有到這來拜文昌帝君（嘿嘿！就是祂保祐我上成大的啦！但是台南又太遠顧不到，所以不知有沒有辦法保祐我順利畢業呀～） 

8、【Chi-Shan Yen】Chi-Shan Yen can be said the famous historical site in Shi-Lin.  This is said that the Shi-Lin elementary school was located here in my grandfather’s age.  When I studied in elementary school, students usually were asked to do the report about Chi-Shan Yen.  However, the detail of the history I gave bake to my teacher….:p Every first day of Chinese New Year, our family will go to Chi-Shan Yen to pray.  I think many Shi-Lin people do the same things.  When I had the exam of entering the higher school and university, I also came here to pray the Wen-Chung God（the god who is with responsibility for studying.）

9、【士林官邸】差點漏個這裡，開什麼玩笑！怎麼能漏掉～在小學時，那時官邸都還沒開放時，很多人還不知這個地方，這裡已是我的後花園了耶！（得意）以前的士林官邸不像現在花那麼茂盛，但在台北城算是一個風景很美的地方了，小時候常由媽媽帶著跟好友郁柔姊妹到這裡野餐，玩耍。說是我們的後花園真的一點也不為過，我們走進士林官邸的路線也跟別人不同的，從最早有個地下道，到後來一個秘密林蔭大道：p（上次還聽人家在問那條路通往哪裡呢！）

9、【Shihlin Official Residence】Here was my garden before! haha！Before it is become the famous place, I usually went to the park for picnic with my good friends.  It is really a beautiful place to enjoy the flowers.  We also went the secret entry to the place, we really thought that was our own garden before :p

 10、【光華商場】這裡是寶物聚集地！至於寶物的定義就因人而異囉～假如我沒記錯，好像搭捷運到台科大站（有這一站嗎？反正就是要到台科大那邊嘛～呵呵！原諒我到台南要三年了。）現在光華商場比較有名的是電子商品，但我以前常到這邊的舊書攤挖寶，常常拿了好幾本書不到幾百塊，還曾經在這邊找到關穎珊的那本已絕版的自傳！讓我感動好幾天～不知現在那邊書攤還多不多，因為已漸漸被一些光碟片店所佔據了><

10、【Gwun-Hua marketplace】This the good place to look for the treasures, however, it should depend that how you defined the “treasures”. Nowadays, Gwun Hua Marketplace is famous with the electronic products.  I went there to find the secondhand books, and I usually found some good books here.  I had found an out of print book about Michelle Kwan and it made me feel so excited for several days.  I am not sure if there still many second hand book stores there, because there are occupied by more and more VCD or DVD stores. ><

        念了那麼多了美國英國的西方文學，那些文字始終在意境或內心上無法觸及到心中那根弦，我還是喜歡去尋找一些台灣文學來看，每次看著看著眼框跟著泛紅，台灣文學中總帶著一絲絲的鄉愁和身為某地人的自豪，隨著作者的描述，似乎是在講述身邊哪位朋友的故事似的，感同身受。我喜歡台灣文學中那種描述市井小民的對生活的驕傲和打拼的感覺。

        「南方人文電子報」，大一時訂的電子報，總在我為西方文學在頭痛時為我送來一份緩衝劑，今天一早，E-mail送來一份報，標題文章為「循著肉粿香，迴游」，推薦給大家看看，是一篇不錯的小品文。

循著肉粿香，迴游

這篇獻給珊妮和曾經一起作夢的好友們。

        在家教學生那篇的回應中我分享了一支MV，是我從中管校友團的留言板上看到的：http://140.113.73.79/kurumi.wmv。下面是我從網路上找到的這首歌的中英日文版歌詞，我希望各位先看了MV後再看歌詞，會比較有感覺。

4、【北美館】台北市立美術館，位於中山橋下，捷運圓山站步行十分鐘即可抵達。自從國中發現這的好地方後，就常常一個人或找朋友到這走走，學生票價只要15元，就可以在三層樓中度過半天。近年來的展覽以不再只是國畫（水墨畫）或繪畫作品，越來越多的當代藝術在此展覽，影像、公共藝術、家具設計等等作品都會在此展出。兩年一度的台北雙年展中，常可看到許多不錯的、驚豔的作品。館旁有個公園，近年來整修得不錯，很有美術館公園的感覺。館的左邊有個很特別的英國都鐸式洋樓建築叫做台北故事館，是九十多年前的富商招待貴賓的別墅，現在裡面有個小餐廳和一些老台北故事的展覽，亦為十分有趣的地方。

4、【Taipei Fine Arts Museum】The Fine Arts Museum is located near the Chung-Shan Bridge in Taipei. You can walk about ten min from the Yuan-Shan MRT station to the museum.  Since I found the good place to visit, I usually went here at leisure with my friends or by myself. The ticket is very cheap, it only cost NT.15 and you can spend half-day here. There are not only exhibited some painting or traditional Chinese painting, but also some contemporary arts such as Images, public arts or furniture designs…etc. The Taipei Biennial is one of the most expectant exhibition in the museum and there are a lot of great  and surprised works in Taipei Biennial.  Next to the museum, there is a beautiful park in the right side and there is an English-like building in the left side.  The building is called Taipei Story House where was the house built by a merchant prince for play host to his friends 90 years ago.  Now, that is a place for exhibit some things about Old Taipei and there is a restaurant for visitors.  The House is also an interesting place to visit.     

5、【當代藝術館】當代藝術館可說是第二個美術館，每次一有新展覽我一定要衝回台北去看。此館原為屬古蹟，台北舊市府。在2001年規劃成當代藝術館，創下了許多台北第一：它是台灣第一個以「當代藝術」為定位的美術館﹔它是台灣第一個古蹟化身的美術館；在經營上，它也是台灣第一個採公辦民營制的美術館。相信很多台北人只聞其名卻未曾到過這裡。初訪此地時，會有一種走在時空交錯的空間之感，漫步在一個曾經是小學，然後成為台北市舊政府的紅磚古老建築，經過拱門長廊進入一間間充滿現代感的藝術空間展覽室。這裡所展的作品總讓人有一個個驚歎號，使人流連忘返於兩層樓的小小空間中。另外，當代館有個特色是它的門票，50元的票價比起北美館是不便宜，但是它的票都會因展覽的不同而精心設計過，每每拿到票都愛不釋手，可以帶回家作紀念。

5、【Museum of Contemporary Art】MOCA can be said the second Taipei Art museum.  I love the place very much, when there is some new exhibition I must went back to Taipei to visit.  This museum was previously the Taipei Government City Hall and it refurbished for the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2001.  The foundation of MOCA sets records in several aspects: It is the first museum in Taiwan to focus exclusively on contemporary art. It is the first museum in Taiwan to be housed in an historic building, and it is the first museum in Taiwan to be jointly funded by a city and the private sector.（cited form the MOCA website.）When you walk in this museum, you will feel as if walking in the interlaced space-time house. The house of red bricks had been an elementary school long long year ago and then a city hall before.  When going through the old long corridor, you can go into the room where was full of contemporary arts.  By the way, the ticket there is one of the special things. Although it cost NT.50 more expensive then Taipei Art museum, but the tickets were designed according the topic of the exhibition at that time and it can be a souvenir. 

5、【擎天崗】位於陽明山上的擎天崗是個一個喧嘩台北裡的一個世外桃源。更是台北學校的莘莘學子們做團康活動的地點之一（至少以前是啦！現在不知還是不是，畢竟我不屬於台北學校的學生。）以前還在台北的時候會坐15號小型公車到冷水坑，然後走魚路古道（這名字是因為古人會挑魚走過這條路去販賣）或經涓絲瀑布走到擎天崗。擎天崗是一個廣大的草原，是日本殖民時期規劃成牧場用的，現在到那邊去還可見一些可愛的牛群（所以不要穿紅衣去喔！哈哈），很愛擎天崗給人的廣闊感，遠離城市的喧囂，擁抱藍天白雲綠地的大自然。據說以往美加營去過擎天崗的ABC們都對這地方印象深刻呢！

5、【Chingteingang】Chingteingang is a Xanadu on the Yang Ming Mountain and it also a place where the university students in Taipei like to do club activities. When I was in Taipei, I sometimes took the bus 15 to Lengshuikeng and walk to Chingteingang through a small waterfall or by Old Fish Road（The name of the road is because the ancients carried the fishes by the road to sell the fishes） Chingteingang is a widest grassland. It was the pasture during the Japanese-Age and you still can see some cattle there.  I love the expansion feeling in Chingteingang and I can leave the noisy in city and enjoy the works of God.  That was said that some ABCs who had ever gone there in the CYC camp also make good impression in this place.
