110827 在南歐開車與台灣不同/義大利,法國,西班牙,葡萄牙駕車

因為我也只在義、法、西、葡(還有約旦)開過車，所以歐洲的駕車經驗僅適用這些國家，其他國家我概不負責。在歐洲開車有幾件和台灣很不一樣的事情，想與各位分享

一、圓環
幾乎每個路口都有圓環，使用十字路口的比例相對較低，部分地區車輛少，圓環也不會設置紅綠燈等交通號誌，所以有件事情一定要遵守。那就是要禮讓圓環中的車輛先行。如果要進圓環，請先讓圓環內的車子過去，等沒車時才駛入圓環。如果圓環內沒有車，只要不翻車你可以不減速直接殺進圓環也不會有人管你。但是如果你不禮讓圓環內的左側來車，保證會被按喇叭，而且叭到死。甚至比中指都會出現，因為我被比過。在台灣沒有這習慣，有時候會忘記，被這樣叭了幾次。所以一定要記住這一點。

二、白色中線
台灣的馬路中線是黃色的，但是這幾個國家全都是白色的。超怪，但是我卻從來不會搞錯他是中線還是同向的分隔線。

三、車速超快
這幾個國家都是拉丁民族，大概都不怕死，不分男女老幼開車都很殺。鄉間小路就開一百(我在法國和一台車跑過，田野產業道路，會遇到馬車那種鄉下，他也給我開一百多)，高速路開一百三以上多的是，但是這些全是超速行駛。超速在這司空見慣，而且警察也不太愛抓，因為地太大警察太少。定點測速照相也很少，我只有在高速公路有見過。總之，在台灣我算開快車，但是到了這幾個歐陸的拉丁國家，我也只是一般人。難怪拉丁民族出賽車手特別多，尤其這幾個國家還有拉美的那一群。

四、保持行車距離
這也很怪，大家都超速、可是一定保持行車距離，這一點他們很守法，因為開快車還是要安全，所以大家也是絕對會保持安全車距。

五、內線超車、慢車靠外
歐洲的高速公路可不像台灣國道3號一般，一路平坦，高低起伏不多，反倒是像國道一號，很多路段就像林口大斜坡，所以上坡時，好壞車優劣立判。這時候慢車請乖乖的排在最外道，跟卡車一起。內車道絕對要空出來，給那些好車快速通過。

如果我想到其他需要注意的事項，會持續補充

110827 研究FB的open graph protocol

本來只不過為了那個"讚"的按鈕，沒想到FB已經比以前更強了，不需要建立粉絲團就可以直接運作粉絲團的功能。只要把Open Graph Protocol加入到html裡面就可以做到。只要個按過"讚"的朋友，都將成為你的粉絲，不需要另外開立粉絲團，FB也同樣提供網站管理、到訪人數統計、也是可以作連結，不只這樣還可以管理！還可以做精準行銷，更精確的投放廣告。這功能其實2010年就有了，但是一般人根本不會去研究，真的覺得FB在不知不覺中不斷進步。

110610 台灣物價比葡萄牙貴系列一 Chili's/Price of Commodities between Taiwan & Portugal Part I, Chili's

Many Taiwanese told that the price of commodities in Europe is much more expensive than in Taiwan after travelling in Europe. What they said is the truth. However, they went to a scenic spot where the residents would go frequently. In Taiwan, if you go to Taipei 101, Yan Ming Shan, Sun-Moon Lake, everything will become more expensive. Today, I want to show you whether the price in Portugal, Europe is always more expensive than in Taiwan.
I will compare a chain restaurant, Chili's.
In the middle of June, I read an ad of Chili's which showed €20/2set included the drinks during the whole week. It's an amazing price. In Taiwan, it's impossible price! I will show you the dishes in the following pictures.
很多曾經去過歐洲旅遊的朋友，回國後都會說，歐洲物價真貴，而且貴得很不合理。他們說的的確是事實，可他們去的是觀光區，並非當地人會去消費的地方，君不見101、台灣陽明山上、日月潭，物價也是貴的不合理。所以今天要來比比看，台灣物價高還是葡萄牙物價高。
今天就從台灣和葡萄牙兩地都有分店的一間美國連鎖墨式餐廳Chili's來說起。
六月中，因為在地鐵上看到Chili's Telheiras的廣告，因為兩份套餐加飲料只要20歐。這價格連周末都適用。真的是便宜到爆炸，約了兩位同學，四個人一起去吃。菜色如何，用說的不如看照片。

四主菜/four Main dishes

 小菜

除此之外每人還有一杯800cc的玻璃杯裝軟性飲料，這樣全部只要40歐。真的是很便宜的享受。而台灣的Chili's說真的我看到價格還真有點嚇到。明明產品是一樣的，硬是比歐洲還貴，真令人洩氣。

110824 在台灣開車/Driving in Taiwan

I had stayed in Taiwan for around 2 months. Everything seems possible on the roads.

Few days ago, I drove around the Xinpu Station of MRT. I was driving inside of the four-lane road. Meanwhile a taxi was crossing the four-lane road vertically. What's that? Does the traffic regulation allow a taxi driver could drive in this way? I had the right to stay in the lane. I used the horn to warm the taxi driver to prevent from an accident.

If you let a pedestrian pass the zebra stripe first, he or she may feel weird. Meanwhile the car behind you will horn you.

Regarding the bus, it's much stranger. In Taipei, we always find a parking space for bus only in front of the bus stop. However, you rarely see a bus will stop inside of the parking space. It's true. You can observe your self. If they don't utilize it, why should the Taipei government waste money to paint it?

It's the most ridiculous to get drive-license in Taiwan. The examination is to drive around a training center, not on the real roads and highway. The center has nothing related to the real driving situation. Some centers could reach 90% of pass rate. Some of drivers are not capable of driving on the roads. How can they get the license? Thank god for that the exam in 2014 will be hold on the real roads.

In Taiwan are many people, many cars which don't obey the regulation. It's still a disaster to drive in Taiwan. However, in Taiwan we are much better than many cities in Asia.

回來台灣將近兩個月，發覺在台灣開車真的是各種光怪陸離的事情都有可能發生。
前幾天在板橋新埔捷運站附近開車，我駕車行駛於在四線道的最內車道準備駛入迴轉道，而外側三個車道則有不少車子正在紅燈前方，等待綠燈要向前方行駛。同時間我看到一台小黃竟然給我垂直於這四線道行駛，這是哪招，我們台灣的交通規則有說可以垂直90度角變換車道嗎？而且他還理直氣壯一直開，認為我會踩煞車讓他這輛計程車司機，我有路權我為什麼要讓。一氣之下按喇叭示警。這才避免了一次擦撞。
看到公車更是奇妙了，公車站牌前現在幾乎都有繪製公車停車區域，但是公車司機有多少人會開車到這格子內才讓乘客上下車，說真的幾乎沒有，那請問幹嘛要浪費錢去畫這些公車停車格，反正這些司機也不會停。
再來說說斑馬線禮讓行人，在台灣有時候禮讓行人，行人還會很訝異，汽車竟然會讓路人先過斑馬線。
考照制度更是荒唐，在駕訓場地繞一圈，這樣就代表可以安全上路嗎？有些駕訓班還可以創造出90%的考照率。但是事實上，這種制度根本就有問題，一堆拿了駕照不敢上路的人。不該發駕照的人就不該發給他，不需要鄉愿的送他一張，到時候他真的上路只會造成其他用路人的困擾。幸好103年就會有路考，真是謝天謝地。

台灣人多、車多，用路人又不守規則，在台灣開車真的是災難。

110603 補充亞述群島行程規建議

亞述群島自治區旗幟

查看大图
亞述群島共有九座島嶼，島與島之間的交通工具就只是飛機和船。飛機唯有SATA航空，幾乎每天都有航班，所以對於行程規劃較為便利，但是價格偏高，任意兩島單程機票要價85歐，沒有提供學生票折扣。搭乘船隻相對便宜，但是並非每日都有船隻會靠岸，所以行程規劃會受到限制。另外必須注意，不同島的之間經營的船運公司不同，我這次搭船是Atlantico lin是走主要大島的航線，小島如Faial則不一定是由Atlantico Line經營。

規劃技巧

機票
正因為島與島之間的航線要價85歐，所以我特別從里斯本飛San Miguel，回程從Terceira飛回里斯本，雖然不同點進出機票比較貴，但是省下從Terceira飛回San Miguel的機票與時間，整體算起來機票價錢相當，但是省下轉機時間，絕對值得。

船票
Atlantico line有些船隻的行程會在某些島嶼停留一日，才會再出發，可以考慮這種行程，省下交通費用，只要是航線上的島嶼，都可以停留一天下船遊覽，隔天再度上船，但是費用卻完全相同，只算起點和終點的價錢，相對划算很多。我在船上我就有遇到一位德國人就是採用這種方法，在Terceira停留一天，等待隔日再上船前往San Miguel。

110813 Pine Garden in Hualien/Parque de Pinheiro/松園別館

Hualien has an international spot, Taroko Gorge, where each tourist must go while visiting Hualien. I strongly recommend each foreign visitor to take a walk in Taroko Gorge. You can experience and take a look at the beauty of Taiwan.

Beside of Taroko Gorge, I would like to introduce a spot, Pine Garden, in Hualien, Taiwan. This garden was built by Japanese Military when they colonized Taiwan. Right now, Hualien Government redecorated it to be a Gallery. Artists could have an exhibition inside. In the garden there are hundred-year-old pines. That's why we called it "Pine Garden". It's also a high place to view the Hualien Harbor and the city. When you visiting Taroko, don't forget to visit Pine Garden.

Em Hualien há uma vista internacional, Desfiladeiro de Taroko, que cada um deve visitar quando visita Hualien. Eu recomendo que cada turista estrangeiro faça um passeiro em Taroko. Você podem experienciar e ver uma beleza de Taiwan.
Além de Taroko, vou apresentar uma outra visita, Parque de Pinheiro, também em Hualien. Este parque era construido pelo Japonêses, quando eles colonizáram Taiwan. Agora, Governo de Hualien redecorou-o por ser uma galeria. Artistas podem fazer uma exibição dentro. Porque no pátio há cem-ano pinheiros, chama-se Parque de Pinheiro. Também é um lugar alto e podem ver todo o Porto de Hualien  e a cidade. Quando você visitar Taroko, Hualien, não esqueça visitar Parque de Pinheiro.

110811 Algumas fotográfias da minha casa em Lisboa/里斯本家後院

陣雨過後，天空突然放晴，趁著這午後陽光，來杯咖啡，享用午茶，人生就該如此。
Já vi algumas fotográfias que tirei em lisboa. Tenho saudade do tempo de Lisboa. Tirei estas fotográfias no quintal da minha casa. Depois de chuva, estava com sol. O quintal onde havia flores e abelhas era ativo!
