4月企划：用英语聊自己的家乡和文化1. 4.3-14: 画说盐埕面-带老外去吃面2. 4.15-5.15: 老外聊高雄

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 有志者，事竟成。I had such an eventful week in Switzerland. Not only did I make new friends, go sightseeing and enjoy some amazing local food but I also got to see friends who I met on my previous trip. 我在瑞士度过了好充实的一周，我不仅交了新朋友、去观光、还去享受了许多美妙的食物，甚至见了我在之前旅行认识的朋友。I met Patricia in May, 2019, when I was visiting Ibiza. We were sharing the same room in the hostel and Patricia was very outgoing so we immediately became friends. We’ve kept in touch since our meeting in Ibiza. That day she and her daughter came out of their way and drove to meet me in Lucerne, which is their favourite city. They invited me on a scenic boat ride before taking a cable car up to a very luxurious hotel in the mountain for drinks. The scenery was even more breathtaking when shared and enjoyed with a good friend! 我在2019年5月的时候，在拜访伊比萨的时候遇见Patricia。我们住在同一间青年旅舍的同一间房。Patricia非常的外向，所以我们马上就成为了朋友。离开伊比萨之后我一直有联系。那天他和她女儿特别开车来鲁森来看我，鲁森也是他们最喜欢的城市。他们邀请我坐上了景观船，然后我们坐上了缆车到了山上一家非常奢华的酒店喝饮料。和一个好朋友在一起景色变得更美丽。Many of my listeners tell me that they want to travel but often feel unable to because of kids and current family responsibilities. Patricia is living and breathing proof that it is possible to manage both. She is a single working mom who is also very well-traveled and never compromises on the things in life that matter to her. Like me, travel is her biggest passion! She told me about many amazing solo travel experiences as well as priceless journeys shared with her two kids on road trips. One of her most memorable family trips was an unplanned, ten day visit to Italy in her car. They left Switzerland without any bookings to their name, preferring to see where their journey took them each day. On one night, this meant an evening sleeping in the car; an experience her kids will no doubt remind her of for many years to come. 我有很多听众告诉我，他们想要旅行然而因为他们的小孩还有当前的家庭责任他们没有办法。Patricia就是可以兼顾到这两者的活生生的例子。他是跟在上班的单亲妈妈，然而他也游历了非常多国家也从不会和生活要事妥协。就像我一样，旅游是她最大的梦想。他告诉我许多她独自旅行的美妙经验，甚至还有和他两个孩子一起的公路旅行。让她最印象深刻的其中一个家庭旅游就是一个没有计划的十天的意大利之旅。他们没有预定人和房间，从瑞士离开就看看他们的旅行会带他们到什么地方去。有一晚，甚至要睡在车里，然而这是个绝对会让他的孩子接下来许多年都会提醒她的一个体验。She and I both believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way. 她和我都相信，有志者事竟成。

Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things. 大多数时候，美存在于最简单的事物中。It was actually really nice to be able to go to the hosts’ place after my day’s visit. It gets dark really quickly during winters in Europe, usually before the end of the working day around 5pm. The weather was often miserably cold and rainy; just the sort of weather for returning to the host’s place where we either shared food or I cooked for them. 可以在一天的游览完毕后回到我沙发主人的家感觉真的很好。在欧洲的冬天都天黑的很快，差不多在一天结束工作之前就会全黑了。天气也经常很冷又下雨。当天公不作美的时候，回到主人家可以一起分享食物或者我煮饭给他们吃实在太棒。This time in Switzerland I even had the opportunity to share amazing special food from my hosts, like Matthew in Bern who taught me how to make Raclette, which looks like Swiss Grill with cheese using a special oven. While I stayed with J in Lucerne, who’s from Hawaii but lived in Switzerland for many years, he made lao lao, a Hawaiian meal wrapped with taro leaves. It was really impressive. I will never forget its fragrance and taste. It was so delicious too. 这次在瑞士我有幸能享受到来自我沙发主人许多美味又特别的食物，像是在Bern的Matthew叫我如何吃Raclette，一种用使用特别烤盘和用奶酪制作的瑞士烧烤，还有当我在鲁森和来自夏威夷的J一起分享他做的唠唠，是一种用芋头叶子包起来的夏威夷传统食物。真的超级棒。我永远都不会忘记那个香味还有味道。吃起来也十分美味。Saving money and sharing food with Couchsurfers is great, but nothing compared to the rewards of hearing the stories of people who live there and exchanging experiences. For me, it was also an opportunity to share and contribute my experiences and knowledge.利用沙发冲浪的方式来省钱和分享食物虽然很棒，但是分享住在当地人们的生活和交换彼此的经验是什么也比不上的。对于我来说，也是一个可以分享和贡献我经验和知识的机会。J was a very special man and he shared many stories with me. He was an artist and was really kind when we met. A few years ago, when J was a successful entrepreneur he experienced a tragic family bereavement which left him feeling sad, angry and lost. He made a few big lifestyle changes including moving to Switzerland and was now ready to share his stories so as to help other people heal. I have been a podcaster for many years and I want to use this knowledge to help others too. Over the years I've benefited tremendously by telling my own healing stories, helping others and making a living. One night, we sat down and created a podcast together and organized the ideas. It was a very beautiful moment that I will never forget.J是一个非常特别的人，他和我分享了许多故事。他是一个艺术家而且当我们见面的时候非常的友善。几年前，J是个成功的生意人却遭遇了一个悲剧般的丧亲事件让他伤心、生气又失落。他做了许多生活型态的大改变，其中包括搬到瑞士来，现在他也准备好分享自己的故事来帮助别人疗愈。我作为一个播主已经多年，而且我也希望用我的知识来帮助别人。几年来，我也收益于讲述自己的疗愈故事，帮助别人来谋生。有一晚，我们就坐下来帮助他创造一个播客然后组织一些想法。那是一个非常美丽，而且让我永远不会忘记的时刻。英语训练营 报名方式，加公众微信：iflyclub 回复：训练营

Not all classrooms have four walls. 不是所有的教室都有四堵墙。山和海也是课堂On the way to Bern, I was communicating with my other Couchsurfing host and he said he could not greet me at his house because he was having a Hebrew lesson. So he met me at the station and gave me his key and address and he left! Another adventure began. It was a cold, rainy November evening and the road to his apartment was really dark. When I finally opened the door, I saw a lovely cozy apartment complete with a cat. 在去伯恩的路上，我和另外的沙发主人联系，然后他说因为他要去上希伯来语课，所以不能在家里迎接我。所以他在车站和我见面，给了我他的钥匙还有家地址就离开了！另一个冒险又开始了，那是一个又冷又下雨的11月晚上，去他公寓的路真的好黑。然而当我终于打开他的家门，我看到一个很温暖的公寓，加上一只猫咪，实在太完美了。So I was hanging out by myself until Matthew came home. He then made me Pasta and dessert. 然后我就自己一个人打发时间直到主人Matthew回家。他煮了意大利面和甜点给我。This wasn’t the first time on my travels when I was given house keys by someone I had only just met. It is something that you wouldn’t normally expect in daily life, especially if you believe the world to be as difficult and dangerous as it seems in the news. This complete trust in other people is a refreshing and much-needed contrast. I love being a traveler and I really appreciate the trust of people who were strangers at the time we met. Their generosity and trust changed the way I see the world. It opened my eyes to the world of possibilities just waiting to be discovered.这并不是第一次在旅行的时候我刚认识的朋友给了我他们家里的钥匙。但这是在日常生活中你通常不会预料到的，特别是如果你相信这个世界就像电视新闻看到的那样困难与危险。这种完全的信任让人十分的耳目一新，而且也是这个社会非常需要的一种反差。我爱当一个旅行者，而且我很感激那些陌生人给我的信任。也因为他们的慷慨和信任让我改变了对世界的看法。也让我被这个世界等着被发现的机遇打开了眼界。和Lily一起说英语去旅行训练营：加微信iflyclub，回复“训练营”，每月初开营

I'm just recharging my batteries. 有时候，我需要一个人去旅行。我不伤心，我也没有生气，我只是在充电。After thanking Yann for the wonderful hospitality for two days at his home, I decided to go for another scenic adventure, so I jumped on a random train up to the mountain. On the way up, I could see the whole Lake Geneva and the calm beauty truly amazed me. I arrived at the top at a place called Les Pleiades. It looked like a small village for skiing and was completely deserted. No one was getting off and I was reminded by the conductor that the train would start again in an hour. It was early November and it was starting to snow as I walked, tiny flakes of snow gently landing on my hair. For someone from a tropical island, the novelty of snow never wears thin. It was really beautiful and I almost went dancing (or slipping) on the train track with my heavy suitcase and backpack.. I was also feeling desperate for a toilet moment again, which is a strange physical reaction whenever excitement is mixed with the uncertainty of a trip.在谢谢Yann两天在他家的热情款待之后，我决定再去另一个美丽景色的冒险，所以我又跳上随便一台车到山顶。在爬坡的路上，我可以看见日内瓦湖，它的宁静的美丽真令人惊艳。我抵达了这个地方叫Les Pleiades。看起来像是一个滑雪而且完全无人的小镇。没有人下车，然而车掌提醒我在一个小时车会再发动下山。那是11月处，而且当我开始走路了就下雪了，雪花轻轻地降落在我的发梢，对于从热带岛屿来的我，下雪总是让我感觉很新奇。真的很美，我几乎在轨道上边跳舞（或是快跌倒了），我也感觉非常地想要去洗手间，这也是旅行中当我既兴奋又感到有许多不确定的时候会有的生理反应。I went into this small restaurant which was empty and only had two staff working. One of the men was very friendly and let me know that I could use their restroom. The whole atmosphere was immediately relaxing. After the toilet break, I sat down and wondered if I should order something for lunch. I saw the Swiss Fondue on the menu and I was very curious. The waiter did not speak much English but he was very friendly when greeting me and took the time to teach me the finer details of how to enjoy my first Swiss Fondue through his careful coaching. 我进入了小小空空的只有两个服务员在工作的餐厅，有一个男服务员，非常友善立刻让我知道我可以使用他们的洗手间。整个餐厅的气氛立刻就轻松下来了，我从洗手间回来，坐下就纳闷我是否点个午餐来吃。我看到在菜单上有瑞士火锅，我很好奇。服务员虽然说不太多英语，但招呼我非常友善，而且也很仔细教我如何去享用我的第一个瑞士火锅。The Swiss Fondue looked a lot like the “hot pot” we have in Asia, but instead of broth, it was melted cheese. You dip the bread and vegetables in the hot melting cheese, and you could sprinkle pepper on them to add to the flavor. I loved seeing the cheese dripping from my bread when I lifted it away from the pot and it was certainly very delicious and comforting for my tummy. Although I was alone, I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and immersed myself in exploring the new food, with a dream backdrop of a snowy mountain top. 瑞士的火锅看起来就像我们在亚洲吃的火锅，然而他的汤底不是大骨头而是融化的奶酪。你可以用面包和蔬菜沾那热热融化的火锅里的奶酪，然后可以在上面撒一些胡椒增加风味。我非常喜欢看到当我拿起我的面包，奶酪从上面滴下来的样子，而且真的蛮好吃，我的胃也非常的满足。虽然我是一个人，但是我真的很享受沉浸在那个气氛之下而且又有如梦似的山上下雪的背景陪伴着我。It was quite an expensive and simple lunch at 30 Euros but it was worth every cent. With little time to spare from my remaining 30 minutes, I paid for the meal and got on the train to head back down. Then it was time to head off to my next destination which was Bern!虽然是一顿既昂贵又简单的一顿午餐，要价30欧元，但真的每一分都好值得。用着剩下的三十分钟来享受一下，我买单后就接着上车往山下走。然后前往我的下个目的地：伯恩。

这一篇在台东的酒店录制的，已经在外面一天，声音好累，但是已经答应大家要上传，见谅！I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. 我不再是从前的我了，因为我看过月亮在世界的另一边闪耀。Yann showed me around Lake Geneva and dropped me off at a vineyard. He suggested I hike up the mountain and then hitchhike to Montreux. After that, I was off on my adventure. I was a little bit disoriented and thought it would be too cold for me to go hiking, so I immediately found a train station nearby and hopped on a train at random to see where destiny would take me. Yann带我去日内瓦湖附近，然后在一个葡萄园把我放下来。他建议我爬山然后搭便车到蒙特勒。之后，我的冒险开始了，我有点搞不清楚方向，然后感觉爬山有点冷，所以我很快的找到了附近的火车站，然后就随便跳上了一台车，看看命运会带我去哪里。As luck would have it, the train I took ended up in Montreux. Along the way I was so excited and mesmerized by the scenic view through the train window! I walked around the small town and time seemed to go by so slowly. Then I asked a clerk about the scenic train which was included in my pass and went on another ride through the mountains to Zweismmen. I was amazed by the picturesque little houses I passed in the valleys, and the rugged mountains that towered overhead. After I visited the village, I came down the mountain on the Golden Pass (one of the most famous trains in Switzerland), and it was the most luxurious experience I’ve ever had. The green upholstered seat I was sitting in was so comfortable and beautiful, it made me feel like a queen. When I looked out the window I was really amazed and wondered what life would be like living in this majestic landscape.运气很好，这车果真就一路开到了蒙特勒。在路上我好兴奋和被这窗外美轮美奂的景色吸引得不得了！我沿着小镇走了一圈，时间过得好慢。我问了票务员包含在我环欧通票的景观车，我立刻又坐了另一台车穿越山岭的到了茲懷斯文。我真的对坐落在山谷之间那如画般的小房子还有险峻的山峰的景色给迷倒了。参观完小村落后，我坐上了在瑞士最著名的景观列车之一的黄金列车下山，那也是我最奢华的火车经验。那有着绿色布料装饰的暖垫椅子好舒服又美丽。让我感觉好像皇后一样。当我从窗外看出去，我真的很惊艳也纳闷那些住在这样雄丽风景下的生活是如何。In the evening, I offered to cook dumplings for Yann. He was curious about every step I took when preparing them. He had coincidentally bought me dessert and drinks from a Chinese shop nearby, so we ended up making a very Chinese dinner together. We talked about my adventures and had a really lovely time chatting deep into the night.晚上，我主动提出要包饺子给Yann。他很好奇我准备的每一个步骤，他也很巧的买了中国的甜点还有饮料给我，所以我们吃了非常中国风味的一餐。我们就聊我的冒险记，然后聊得很开心一直到夜深了。和Lily一起五点早起感受丰盛的正能量，云雀实验室报名方式，关注公众微信iflyclub回复文字：早起
