王盈方醫師瘋狂之旅 Dr Yvonne Wang's Blabberings

阿拉伯之夜

這是第四個血月的5776住棚節，也是約書亞進迦南的第70個禧年，70是脫離為奴之家得自由的意思！

一個預備好「心」的人上耶路撒冷守節將在這一整年有極大的突破和領受異象與托負，沒有預備心的，就只是一趟精彩的聖地旅遊，雖然吃的好，住的好，但是最重要的卻可能差肩而過，就是與主相遇或約會！

第一次踏上日本土地!準備去日本，一早就聽到詩歌！計程車司機放的！在飛機上看阿信，一把鼻涕一把淚! 這部電影再次提醒我，祖先們在古時候艱難的日子裡光是求生存就付上了何等大的代價。
First time to step onto Nippon! The taxi driver played gospel music (which is quite unusual, as this was the first time I ever encountered this in Taiwan). On the plane I watched Oshin with tears and snots running down my face. It just reminded me of how heavy a price some of those people in the previous generations have paid just to stay alive in those tough times.

關西: 日本的文化遺產中心，也是漫畫動畫的起源地! 這裡有許多神社佛閣，我在每一個點行軍禱告。在銀閣寺做此事時突然一層金粉出現在我的手機螢幕上！
Kansai: Japan's centre of cultural heritage , and the starting point of manga and anime! It has many prominent temples and shrines. I did intercession prayers for each temple/shrine I visit, and at the Ginkaku-ji, a few flakes of gold powder suddenly appeared on my mobile phone screen after the intercession prayer! 

導遊小文說，
京都開名車的是光頭，
大板開名車的是商人。
和尚是一個高薪職業，
因爲很多人要和尚唸經！
這裡甚至有花美男和尚走秀！
在清水寺真的看見一排名車！
有很多廟寺是拜動物的。
東大寺那一區有傳說鹿是神聖的，
伏見稻荷大社看到很多憤怒狐狸雕像!
Our tour guide, Wen, told us that those who drive luxury cars in Kyoto are bald while those who drive luxury cars in Osaka are businessmen. Being a monk is a highly paid occupation, because many people need monks to cite chanting. They even held a handsome monk catwalk here! And in Kiyomizu-dera you can see a row of luxury cars next to the temple! It’s also interesting to note that many of these temples and shrines are associated with animals, such as the deer in todaiji and the angry fox in Fushimi Inari Taisha.

最近吃日本料理吃到變成無脖熊！
連和食也列入世界文化遺產！
尊重食物的原味，保留營養價值。
用當季的食產，不過度烘調。
另外，這裡的草莓，神戶牛肉，牛奶，豆腐都特別好吃!!還有豆腐冰淇淋也很特別!
Lately I have been eating so much that I am losing my neck! 
Japanese food has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage!
This cuisine respects the original taste of the food and tries to retain the nutritional value. It uses produces of the season and does not over season the food.
I found the strawberries, Kobe beef, milk and tofu to be really yummy!! There is also this tofu icecream which is really worth a try!

這週剛好是日本的成人之日，除了我們旅遊團的人，還有許多年輕日本人穿和服在清水寺走來走去！穿和服真辛苦，被包三層衣，每一層都綁得好緊，肋骨超痛的！
This week coincided with Japan’s Coming of Age Day, so in addition to the people in our tour group, there were also many young Japanese wearing kimonos walking around the Kiyomizu-dera! Wearing the kimono is hard work. We were wrapped in three layers and each layer was fasted so tightly that our ribs hurt!

在這趟旅程穿浴衣，和服，泡溫泉，體驗一下日本人的生活。日本人平均壽命八十幾歲，還算蠻會養生的。他們給當地人的產品非常好，沒有黑心產品。但他們出口的產品相對下就比較次等。
This tour gave me a bit of experience in the Japanese lifestyle: wearing yukata, kimono, soaking in spas etc. The average life span for the Japanese is 80s, so they take care of themselves quite well. The Japanese made great products for the locals, but apparently the exported products are not as good as the local products. 

第三天剛好遇到阪神大地震的紀念日，到今天他們仍然大規模的在紀念。天皇與他妻子都來神戶參加紀念活動。
Day 3 coincided with the Great Hanshin earthquake remembrance day. The Japanese still hold a large annual ceremony and the Japanese Emperor and his wife attended this year’s event in Kobe.

第四天是大阪購物日! 我在大阪城天守閣竟然迷路了!超可怕的!這公園超大的，而且我之所以會迷路的原因是因為我沒發現有兩圈護城河，結果一直沿著內城河走，走不出去外面!
Day 4 is a great shopping day in Osaka. However, it was also very scary when I got lost after walking out of the Osaka Castle Museum! The Osaka Castle Park is humongous and I didn’t realise it had two circles of moats!! So I kept walking around in the inner moat and could not find the way out! 

除了這場驚魂記，在滑雪場搞丟阿嬤也蠻驚魂的!感謝導遊小文這幾天有耐心的關照! 這趟旅程的團員們也很和善。
Other than that, another scary episode was when I lost my grandma in the skiing field! Thanks to our tour guide Wen for her great patience! And we our blessed to have a tour group of friendly people.

讓我走向 你的身旁 貼近你　
みそばに　ひきよせて

主啊 我渴慕尋求你
主よ したいもとめます

　　這首詩歌無論日文、中文，都呈現相當美妙的空靈氛圍。寥寥數十字的歌詞，便唱出「渴望聖靈」的感動。
　　該影片的女演唱便是知名福音歌手璽恩，與她一起站台的則是「約書亞樂團」，在平靜、緩慢的旋律下，璽恩獨唱日文已展現其穿透性的嗓音，與「約書亞樂團」合唱中文彷彿製造一道又一道的波浪，愈唱到後頭愈翻騰起來。

非誠勿擾是中國當紅的相親節目!然而，在2011年7月，我竟然陰錯陽差的上了這個節目，也因此踏上了我的南京之旅，第一次踏入中國內地。

實際跟家人的時間雖然只有短短三天，但很充實。很高興的是，當我一到台北時發現我爸爸已經戒菸了，而我媽媽答應對他態度溫和些!感謝父母使我在操練尊榮文化變得容易許多。雖然還遠離完美，但我試著對父母比較客氣，也試著有更多的耐心。禮拜天去靈糧山莊的主日之後就跟父親及母親的家族吃飯。帶外婆買羽絨外套，發現Uniqlo的外套已經賣完了，於是買了Wanko的，她很得意因為很漂亮。禮拜一去內政部找[媒公]，自己順便也為台灣的政府與立法禱告。午餐享用了超好吃的的欣葉日本料理自助餐。晚上去外婆家享用她的拿手好菜，也在那邊看了族譜，並為我母家禱告。禮拜二與短宣隊一同參觀福音機構，並有機會在GoodTV電台遇到孫越叔叔!有趣的是，我還發現孫中山是在夏威夷成為基督徒的，而且是去我夏威夷讀的小學(St. Andrew’s Priory)的禮拜堂做禮拜的! 晚上與母親到士林夜市的東京著衣血拚: 那裏的衣服是百貨公司般的漂亮，夜市般的價格! 那時候真的覺得還是跟媽媽買衣服最好了。之後跟媽媽一起享用火鍋。禮拜三跟爸爸一起去看花博的夢想館及世博館。之後從圓山走路到中山站，沿路中走著回憶之旅，參觀了已經二十年沒去的中山國小(這也是我爸的小學)。午餐請爸爸吃熱門的米朗琪咖啡館，有很多人在排隊。下午去做臉，之後回家睡午覺，晚上出來跟[媒公]吃晚餐，是一家非常好吃的日本料理。隔一天就與短宣隊友們搭乘飛機回到雪梨了!

今天開始漫長的旅程，照原路從吳哥回到金邊。再次喝到椰子，吃到美味的青芒果，看到炸蜘蛛! 進入金邊就感到好像是再次進入文明。吃午餐時看到服務生都盯著電視螢幕，因為剛好柬埔賽與泰國的邊界正在進行戰爭，戰爭地點離吳哥很近，難怪我坐遊覽車時有看到阿兵哥們!!

First, we visited the Ta Prohm, where Tomb Raider was filmed. For 500 years, the roots of the trees grew out of control. This temple will be destroyed by these roots in the future. There was a strange building there called the “knock heart” temple, whereby when you stand against the wall and tap your chest, the noise of your taping becomes very magnified! There were also some wild dogs and cows. Xing says all animals in the park are protected, so you shouldn’t do anything to them!
 

首先去塔普倫廟，世古墓奇兵的拍攝地點。五百年來卡波克樹根到處亂長，這廟之後可能會完全被樹根給破壞掉。那裡有一個很奇怪的建築物叫作敲心殿，把背靠在牆壁拍胸部會傳出很大的聲音。還有看到野生的狗和牛。導遊說所有在國家公園的動物都是被保護的，所以不能傷害他們！

We visited the Vietnamese Floating Village in Siem Reap. These Vietnamese are refuges without land or identity in Cambodia . At the shore of the lake, there were many boats. Each boat had a captain and a kid. These kids are tiny, and yet they had to carry a huge boat paddle to start up the boat! The water in the lake was mud yellow, and had a toilet/ammonia smell to it. Xing said the people living on the floating village uses this water for all purposes, including cooking, drinking, peeing and pooing! How do they drink this water? They put the water in a container and leave it for a few days so the sediments would settle, and they drink the water on top! I also saw the floating petrol station, church, and several houses in construction. Suddenly, there was the sound of engine roaring, and several small boats started closing in on us! Each boat had a kid with a snake hanging on his/her neck. The kids jumped onto our boat to because they wanted us to give them tips! As soon as we give them the tips, they hopped back onto their boats. Then we saw a boy who was trying to catch some smelly fish from the lake. Xing says these people catch the smelly fish and use salt to marinate the fish and leave it for more than 6 months, until they become very smelly, sometimes until when they grow bugs, and then they cook it. Apparently the bad smell becomes a good smell after it’s cooked!! Then we saw some kids floating in a bath tub: apparently we need to give them a tip if we want to take a photo with them. Then we went on a floating souvenir shop and saw some lazy crocodiles. Then we returned onto the boat and saw a floating school, basketball court, and somebody cooking at the back of their floating house.

今天去參觀暹粒市洞里薩湖的越南人水上人家。這些越南人是難民，在柬埔賽沒土地。一到湖的岸邊就看到有好幾條船，每條船上面都有一個船長和一個小孩。小孩很可憐，小小一隻就要扛著重大的木板划水，讓船起動。這湖裡面的水是土黃色的，並帶有廁所般的臭味。導遊說水上人家的人用這水吃喝拉灑，大便尿尿都在水裡，喝的水則是把水撈起來，放個幾天，讓廢物沉澱下去在喝上面的水！再來經過水上加油站，然後還看到教堂，又看到幾間正在蓋的房子。突然聽到引擎聲嚮起，看到周圍有幾條小船，裡面有脖子掛蟒蛇的小孩。小船逼近，然後小孩們從他們的船上跳到我們的船上。這是做什麼的呢？原來是討小費的。小孩們一拿完小費就跳回他們的船上了。再來又看到一個撿臭魚的男孩:湖裡有小小隻的魚，導遊叫牠臭魚。水上人家會抓臭魚，然後又鹽醃臭魚，放個半年以上的時間，等他變很臭，甚至長蟲時，他們就把這魚拿來吃，聽說一煮出來臭味就不見了，變成香味。再來又看到幾個浮在澡盆裡的小孩，據說跟他們合照要小費。到了水上商店，看到幾隻有氣無力的鱷魚，照了幾張像，又回到船上了。再來又看到水上學校及水上籃球場等，然後還看到人蹲在水邊做菜。

Yellow opacity in the sky: that was the first thing I noticed about Cambodia as I looked down from the plane. We left the Phnom Penh and ate lunch in a restaurant across the airport. We tried the Angkor Wat beer, which was a bit too bitter. The owner of the restaurant was very friendly and cooked up an extra dish of vegetable when we complained that there was too little vegetable.

混濁的天空: 天空帶黃，地也帶黃。那就是從飛機上往下看柬埔賽的第一個印象。離開金邊機場，去對面的餐廳享用午餐，喝當地得啤酒(不太好喝)，店長對我們很和善，當我們說覺得青菜不夠，他們就多炒一盤給我們!

十五年了，又再次來到舊金山了。 這趟旅程對我的意義非淺。 十五年前，就是在這個城市在一位阿姨的帶領下做決志禱告的。 那位阿姨性劉，他們一家人是我爸媽的朋友，是基督徒。 他們兩個小孩年紀跟我差不多，那時候有一起去迪斯奈樂園玩，是童年裡其中一個非常快樂的回憶。
