10/05星期六
我和朋友去文化中心
看了台南人劇團的新劇『安平小鎮』

05. Oct0ber, Saturday.
I went to Tainan Municipal Cultural Center with my friend
to watch "Anping, our Town",
the new musical of Tainaner Ensemble.

開場，大大的木造佈景上 投射著安平的老照片
伴隨著蔡柏璋優美的聲線
漸漸代入老安平的氣氛
團員扮演著安平人們
伴隨著驚人的聲音模仿
一開場就非常精彩

Opening, the photos of old Anping
projected on the big wooden setting,
the atmosphere appeared with
Pao-Chang Tsai's beautiful voice.
The members played the people in Anping,

with the amazing sound imitating skills,
the musical is fabulous from the very beginning.

『安平小鎮』的內容非常多元
有族群 有愛情 有生死

有不同人性的刻畫 有面對未來的徬徨
也有面對離別的傷痛

The musical has a great diversity of content.
Races, love, life and death,

human nature, the hesitation to the future,
and the sorrow for losing and leaving.

表演完成後
劇團團長李維睦發言時 流下感動的眼淚
交雜著辛苦 感動等的情緒
從小生長在安平的他
也許看著今日的安平 更多了一份不同的情感
在場許多人也都跟著流下了眼淚

After the performance,
the leader Lee dropped his tears while talking.
It's probably a kind of emotion
that mixed of hard-working, moved...etc.
Maybe as a person grown up in Tainan,
he has a different feeling while looking at Anping nowadays.

總結來說
這是一部非常樸實的戲劇
沒有絢爛的燈光 服裝等
劇本卻很真實地描繪出當時生活的樣貌
和人物的情感交流

To sum up,
this is a simple musical.
Without splendid lighting and costume,

 the script truly describes the way life was

and the emotion between people.

舞台的設計很簡單
不過活板門總開在很有趣的地方
不走華麗路線的舞台也能發揮得這麼好
不多說了 還是留給大家進場去看吧!!
(十一月還有台北場喔)

The stage design is simple,
but the trapdoors are everywhere
and always set at interesting locations.
The stage works in an uncomplicated way.
So go and watch it!
(It'll be in Taipei in November!)

2013點‧心設計邀請展『寶用』/ 2013 Dian Shin "Treasure Trove"

2006年以來每年舉辦的『點‧心設計邀請展』
是林酸大學的老師胡佑宗老師

以及其擔任經理的唐草設計公司的策展團隊共同策劃
每年邀請台灣設計師
以50件作品共同主題的作品
與台灣的生活文化對話

“Dian Shin / Design Refreshment”
is an annual design exhibition since 2006.
The exhibition was founded by my University teacher,Hugh Hu
and the team in his company NDD Design.
They invite many Taiwanese designers every year
to do 50 design works that have the same theme,
to converse with the life and culture of Taiwan.


今年的"寶用"
首次跳脫以往命名模式
(以前包括五十凳 五十禮 文房五十等)
持續深耕台南的文化
回歸生活最基礎的『用』，創造永續的價值。

『Treasure Trove』, the theme this year,
jumped out from the past name rules.
(50 Ideal Benches, 50 Manners...etc)
It continues on digging into the culture of Tainan,
back to the basic "use", to create an eternal value.


今年老林居很榮幸能成為『寶用』展品的拍攝地點
感謝策展團隊之一的Kiki的邀請

我們也實際參與了拍攝過程
幫忙生道具、佈置等 真的很好玩
也從攝影師陳敏佳老師的身上學到許多攝影的小撇步阿

This year, Rolling Inn is honored that
the designs of "Treasure Trove" were shot here.
Thanks to Kiki, one of the planning team,

(分享)拔一條河 / Bridge Over Troubled Water

這次要來說一件與台南沒有直接相關的事。

I’d like to talk about something that has no direct connection to Tainan.




前些日子，一個老師問我要不要去參加一個紀錄片的特映會，

我剛好有空，就去了。

這部片叫做『拔一條河』，
雖然不是高潮迭起的大製作商葉片，

卻是一部會讓你又哭又笑又感動，
值得推薦的好紀錄片。


A few days ago, a teacher asked me

if I’m interested in a documentary film’s premier.

It’s called “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.

Although it’s not something that has great cast or huge budget,

it’s indeed a movie that makes you cry, laugh and moved,

a good documentary film that worth recommending.


紀錄片的背景 是八八風災過後的山村甲仙。

上游的小林村被夷為平地，

甲仙雖然幸存，卻失去了希望和光彩。

The background is village Kiaxian after Typhoon Morakot,

which is totally a catastrophe several years ago.
Shiaolin village which is more upstream didn’t survive in that disaster,
Jiaxian did, but lost its hope and shine.


大環境的無奈，讓小朋友變得早熟又懂事。

甲仙國小的小朋友挺身而出，

雖然環境惡劣，沒有精良的設備，

沒有標準賽道、比賽用的鞋子要用借的，

練習的時候，教練把繩子綁在樹上，

讓小朋友對著拔不倒的”對手”練習，
他們都不以為苦。

一切的一切，都只是為了一個虛幻的目的

---榮耀甲仙。


The bad environment made the children precocious and sensible.

The students of Jiaxian Elementary School stood out.

Regardless of the bad environment,
without good equipments,
they even had to borrow shoes for the competition.

They coach tied the rope on the tree,

so that the students can keep practicing with the undefeated opponent.

They did not complain.

All the effort they made is just for one reason

---to honor Jiaxian.


小朋友們的努力，終於喚起大人們的熱情，

開始反省自己”為什麼放棄“。

賽後小朋友們默默歸來，巴士開到甲仙大橋，

小朋友們第一次受到家長、鄉親們英雄識的歡迎，

電影院裡，不知有多少人跟著小朋友的眼淚一起決堤了。


The effort they made, finally brought the adults the passion back.

They started to think, why did they give up?

The students returned silently, 
when the bus arrived at the Jiaxian Bridge,

it’s their first time to be welcomed like heroes.

Feeling touched with the students in the film, 

Countless people in the cinema bursted into tears.




故事的另一個主軸是外籍新娘。

她們許多人大多不清楚這裡的狀況，

花樣年華的女孩就這樣嫁過來，甚至沒有婚禮，

就開始無止盡的付出。


Another main discussion in the film is about foreign brides.

Most of them didn’t know the situation here,

young girls came and started working

without even a wedding.


她們的付出並不亞於台灣人，

每週煮”風味餐”給小朋友吃，

貢獻心力在基礎的產業，

在這個滿目瘡痍的小地方，

本地、外來這道界限反而模糊了。


They didn’t pay less than Taiwanese.

Cook “flavor meal”for the kids every week,
work hard on fundamental industries...

In this wounded place,
the boundary between local and foreign became blurred.



印象非常深刻，

一個外籍新娘的小孩，

導演問她『馬英九有幫忙你嗎？』

『你說119喔?』

『是馬英九，不是119啦』

『(歪頭)馬英九到底是誰阿』

頓時整個電影院一片大笑。

個人認為導演想要呈現不只是童言童語，
更是一種無奈。

在偏遠山區的孩童眼中，

政治是太過遙遠的概念，

國務繁忙的總統連見上一面都困難，

跟隨傳隨到的119相比，

也就難怪孩童只知119不知馬英九了。


There’s a very impressive scene,
the director asked a little girl,
“Did President Ma Ying- Jeou helped you?”

“You mean 119?”

(Taiwanese emergency relief number, sounds similar to president‘s name)
“
Ma Ying-Jeou, not yi-yi-jeou(119)”

“Who exactly Ma Ying-Jeou is?!”

I personally think it’s bot just adding something funny,
but showing the helpless situation.

In a kid’s mind who lives in a mountain village,
Politics is something too far away. 

President has lots of thing to deal with,
so they can barely see him.

Compared with the 119, which shows up as long as you call,

no wonder the kid knows only 119, not the president.


影片的最後，
當地機關為他們補辦了婚禮
讓她們美美的穿上婚紗、畫上妝，

讓”結婚”這件事變得更加具體，

為他們圓夢，也感謝她們的辛勞。


At the end of the film,
the local institute hosted a wedding for them,

let them wear wedding dresses,
make-up,
gave them a more concrete impression about “getting married”.

It’s making their dream come true,

and appreciate their hard-working as well.




映後座談，楊力州導演分享了很多。

他說他以前沒有想過，”小朋友去感動大人“，

這種彷彿宮崎駿式的童話劇情，

居然真的存在在現實中。


The director shared a lot after the film.

He said he never thought,
“Kids make adults moved”

sounds like something in a Miyazaki Jun’s animation film,

could really exist in the world.



楊導演還說，

其實拍紀錄片是一件很辛苦的事情，

耗時費力，而且很難回收，

每一次拍紀錄片，他都告訴自己是最後一部。

但是每一次有人告訴他，

看他的紀錄片很感動，

他就又會想“不然再拼一部吧?!”



The director also said,

it’s hard to make a documentary film.

Needs a lot of works,
 can barely earn money back.

He always think “This is the last documentary film I made”
But every time when somebody tell him,

his films are so touching,
he would consider, maybe one more?!


感謝台灣有這樣可敬又可愛的人，
不計較功利，
也讓社會各個角落的人們，

都有機會被看見，被聽見。


Thanks to the lovely and respectable people like them,

don’t care about the fame,

make people in every corner are able to be seen, be heard.




敬努力不懈的楊導演和紀錄片團隊，

敬在每個地方默默耕耘的大小朋友，
敬甲仙，也敬台灣。


Pay our deepest respect
to the hard-working Director Yang and his team,
to everyone who spare no effort in every place.
To Jiaxian. And to Taiwan.


風華再現林百貨 / Hayashi Department Store reopening

2013年6月30日 是台南的大日子。

耗時三年整修，

現存最早的百貨的百貨公司，

被稱為”五層樓仔”的林百貨 終於重新開幕

讓翹首盼望的眾人，得以一窺其絕代風華。


30th June, 2013, is a big day of Tainan.

After three years of restoration,

Hayashi Department Store,

the so-called “5-storey building”,

the oldest department store which now exists,

is finally reopen, so that the people who expected for long

can go inside, and see its peerless charm.





日治時代的林百貨(ハヤシ百貨店)，

是81年前由日本人林方一先生開設。
它是南台南第一個百貨公司，

也是僅遲台北的菊元百貨兩天，

全台第二座百貨店。


Hayashi Department Store was established 81 years ago

by Mr. Hayashi, in Japanese colonial period.

It’s the first department store in Tainan,
and it’s also the 2nd department store in Taiwan,

only 2 days later than Kikumoto Department Store in Taipei.



林百貨的位於現在的中正路
，
這個區域當時被稱為“末廣町”，
在當時 人們把這個繁華的商業區 比作”銀座”
，
足見其繁華盛況。

而坐擁南臺灣第一座流籠(電梯)的林百貨在當時，
就是流行的代名詞。



Hayashi Department Store is located on Zhongzheng Rd.

People compared this area to “Ginza”(Japan)

it’s clear how prosperous it was.

And Hayashi Department Store,
which equipped with the first elevator in southern Taiwan,
was indeed the representation of popular.


開幕前一天，透過玻璃窗看到的室內 /
The view through the window, one day before opening.



在開幕的前一天6/29，
我就忍不住先到林百貨附近轉轉，

到了才發現 和我一樣等不及開幕的人們也不少。

林百貨和土地銀行，兩座美麗的時代建物，

靜靜地相對而立，仰著拍它，

那日的藍天把它映襯地特別巨大。


29th June, one day before the reopening,

I decided to go around there.

And I suddenly found that there are several people there,

couldn’t wait until the next day, just like me.

Hayashi Department Store and Land Bank,
the two beatiful historical buildings stand oppositely.

I tried to shoot it from the bottom,

it looked extra huge in the blue sky that day.

林百貨的標誌/ The symbol of Hayashi

正式開幕當天，現場冠蓋雲集，

人們把林百貨擠得水泄不通。

在市長等人致詞之後進行了簡單的儀式，

宣告林百貨重新開放。

當天在二樓也有雞屎藤新民族舞團帶來的“昭和摩登”，

以舞蹈的方式呈現林百貨的一天。


On the official opening day,

visitors crowded Hayashi Department Store.
After Tainan mayor‘s speech,
the simple opening ceremony
announced 
the reopening of Hayashi Department Store.

Taiwan New Style Folk Dance
delivered a performance“Showa Modern”

to re-create a day in Hayashi Department Store by dancing.


穿和服來的女士 / The madam wears Kimono

搶拍開幕儀式 / Shooting the ceremony

雞屎藤新民族舞團 準備開始 /

"昭和摩登" / "Showa Modern"



林百貨的修繕十分講究，
從地板、牆壁、燈具等，

到眾所矚目的電梯，

處處可見團隊的用心與堅持。



The reconstruction of Hayashi Department Store is very detailed,

it’s easy to see the team’s effort and persistence
from floor, wall, lighting... to the elevator that catches everyone’s eyes.


電梯 / Elevator

天井也好美/ The patio is stunning as well

地板、牆壁、燈光等都非常細緻 /
The floor, wall and lighting are all really exquisite.


林百貨雖被稱為五層樓仔，

但實際上有五樓半，

頂樓牆面上保留著二戰時期的彈孔，
忠實呈現它原來的樣貌。

而林方一先生二媳婦林千惠子的口述歷史，

也幫助了稻荷神社鳥居的重建，

雖然最終因為沒有確切尺寸無法加上橫梁，

仍然讓我們朝向歷史的再現更進一步。



Although it’s called “5-storey building”,
there are actually 5 and half floors.
Several WWII bullet holes were remained on the top floor walls,
show the original look of it.

Mr. Hayashi’s daughter-in-law‘s oral history
also helped the reconstruction of the Shrine’s Torii.

Although the beam couldn’t be constructed because the lack of certain sizes,

we’re still one step closer to the restoration of history.



鳥居 / Torii

熱心的志工爺爺解說中 /
The enthusiastic volunteer grandpa was explaining something for us.


站在頂樓往眺望，

我們站在數十年前的制高點上，

即使這個城市的樣子已經改變了很多，

但這種心曠神怡的感覺，應該是一樣的吧。


Standing on the top floor and look down,

we’re at the commanding point several decades ago.
Although this city has changed a lot,
but it should be the same feeling while standing here.




八角形的頂樓建築 /The octangle top floor

眺望對面的土地銀行 / Look downwards on the Land Bank

感謝有這麼多人願意重視古蹟的維護，

以及修復團隊付出的努力，

讓我們有機會體驗當年的昭和風尚，

也讓許多經歷那個年代的爺爺奶奶們，

能夠再次體驗舊時代的美好。



Thanks for so many people willing to respect

the preservation of historical sites,
and the effort the team has made,
giving us a chance to experience the Showa taste,
and let the grandpas and grandmas
who went through the time
 to experience the splendid old time again.




望著窗外的老奶奶，非常喜歡這張/
A grandma look through the window, love this picture very much

能有這麼棒的事發生，
實在是台南的大幸。

希望保存的意識繼續發酵，

有更多的老屋、老物都能夠保存下來。



It’s a great luck of Tainan to have such a good thing.

Hopefully the conscious of preserve can grow bigger,
so that more and more old buildings, stuffs will be remained.





林百貨第一階段的開放只到八月底，

接下來會委外做為文創百貨經營，以另一個新風貌重生。

想要前去體驗林百貨風華的人們請把握時間啦!


Hayashi Department Store will stay opened until the end of August,

and reborn as a department store of
cultural and creative industry.

Please mind the deadline if you wanna visit!


開放時間：週三～日10：00～17：00，週一、二公休（回顧展至民國102年8月31日止）

Open: Wed-Sun 10:00~17:00 (until the end of August)

七月七，過七夕 / Chinese Valentine's Day

今天是農曆七月初七
俗稱七夕情人節的日子
老林居也在此獻上誠摯的祝福
不管是戀愛中還是單身的朋友都能開開心心!!!

Today is "Chi-Shi",
the 7th day of the 7th month according to lunar calendar,
is so-called Chinese Valentine's Day.
No matter you're in love or single,
Rolling Inn sends our best wishes to all of you,
hope that everybody can be happy!!



七夕又稱為七巧節或乞巧節
起源於中國民間傳說
相傳在這一天
於銀河的兩端遙遙相望的牛郎與織女
能夠在鵲橋上相會
所以從前的婦女常在這天祈求織女
賜予好姻緣
所以從前的七夕更像是女兒節

Chi-shi is also called begging festival,
it originates from a traditional tale in ancient China.

It is said that,

the cowherd and the weaving maid,

who were separated on different sides of the milky way,
can meet up on a magpie bridge.
Therefore, women used to pray for good marriage.

So Chi-Shi was more like a Girls' Day.

七夕是華人及整個東亞地區的傳統節日
除了西洋情人節
一年能多慶祝一次情人節
是不是很不錯呢: )
老林居祝大家七夕情人節快樂!!!

Chi-Shi is a traditional festival for all Chinese and East Asia.
Besides the western Valentine's Day,

isn't it great to have one more Valentine's Day to celebrate:)
Rolling Inn wish you a Happy “Chi-Shi” Valentine's Day!!!

父親節快樂!!! / Happy Father's Day!!!

 

祝所有的爸爸們父親節快樂!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the papas!!

每年的八月八號

台灣人們都在慶祝著父親節
台灣社會的父親多半扮演著比較威嚴的角色
也不是那麼擅於表達情感
不過在這個特別的日子裡
別忘了把心中的感謝告訴辛苦的爸爸!!!

8th August,
is Taiwanese Father's Day.
In Taiwan, most daddies play serious roles in their families,
and many of them aren't good at expressing their emotions.

In such a special day,

don't forget to let your dad know
how much you appreciate him!

但是你們知道嗎
其實慶祝88父親節的只有台灣人喔!!!
台灣人選擇這天
是因為“爸”和"8"的中文發音是諧音
其他語言中並不如此
其他國家的父親節多基於其他原由
選擇不同的日子慶祝父親節
有興趣知道的，可以察看維基百科
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%88%B6%E8%A6%AA%E7%AF%80

But do you know that
only Taiwanese celebrate Father's Day on 8th August?!
Taiwanese choose this day

because the "pa"of papa & "8" [ba] are homonyms in Chinese,
but not in other languages.
Other countries choose different days for different reasons.
If you're interested in this,
check out the wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day

祝您有個愉快的父親節!!!

We wish you a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

徒步環島到台南 / Taiwanrun, run to Tainan

其實，最初的時候，我就只是抱著幫忙的心態而已，沒有想到是這麼有意思的事。

At first, I was just trying to help, didn’t expect it would be such an interesting thing.


六月底的時候，我在德國認識的台灣朋友Kae告訴我，她在台灣認識的德國朋友(對
不起我知道很像繞口令)，要在七月開始一個瘋狂的徒步環島計畫。當時我告訴她，
如果來到台南，有需要可以找我幫忙。後來我才知道，他們就是前陣子，因為在FB
上徵求百萬個讚就要拿國旗環島，搏得不少版面的人們。


At the end of June, my Taiwanese friend Kae who I met in Germany told me that
her German friend in Taiwan was going to start a crazy plan - they’re going to run
around the island, all on foot. I told her, if they need help in Tainan, they can ask
me. And I knew it later on, that they’re quite famous because they tried to collect
one million Likes on facebook for their plan.


”帶著國旗 千元環島兼募款”，當時的報導和網友反應有褒有貶。在跟Kae聊天的時
候問到，她才說，其實這個計畫曝光後，他們發現募款會讓原本因“喜愛台灣而跑”
這個動機變得模糊，所以簡化掉募款的部份，單純去體驗，當然也不是真的只帶千
圓(以我的理解，千圓應該就只是一種對於有限預算的誇飾)。可惜的是，媒體並沒
有後續的報導，大概人們也很難知道這些發展了。


“Go around the island with NT$1000 and Taiwan national flag and raise money”,
the news and comments were both positive and negative. I talked about it with
Kae, and she told me that, after the news came out, they found out that their
motivation of “Run for the love for Taiwan”  has blurred, so they cancelled fundraising,
simply to experience, and of course not just with NT$1000(In my opinion, I would
say it’s just an exaggeration of little budget). It’s such a pity that no following info
was reported, it should be hard for people to realize.




7/19晚上七點，我忽然接到Kae的FB訊息，她說她的朋友有可能兩三個小時後就會
到台南，但當時他們還在湖內，能不能抵達還是未知數。確認我們有房間讓他們落
腳之後，大約九點半接到回報，確定他們要趕來台南，只是可能十一點半才會抵達。

19:00 on 19 July, I suddenly got a message from Kae, she said that they would
probably arrive tainan in a couple of hours, but they were still in Hunei, not sure if
they can arrive. After making sure that we have room for them, they decided to
come, but would be around 23:30.




我們提早了一些做準備，並告知當天的住客，然後就在玻璃屋裡等待他們。十一點
四十，德國人Sebastian，瓜地馬拉人David還有台灣人David，三人出現在玻璃屋
外。跟他們說話的時候，可以感覺到他們長途跋涉的疲累，我們簡短地解釋完環境
，就趕緊讓他們休息去了。


We started to prepare at 22:00, also informed other guests, and then we waited at
the glass café. About 23:40, Sebastian from Germany, David from Guatemala and
David from Taiwan, showed up outside the door. I can feel their  tiredness while
talking to them, so we explained quickly and let them go for a rest.




不久後，就看到他們更新了今晚住在老林居的消息，於是我在凌晨一點的時候接到
他們的粉絲的電話，掛斷電話之後才意識到，哇，這就是所謂的粉絲阿！立刻就告
訴Kae，我們兩個都覺得好酷。


Later on, they posted a message on FB to show they lived in Rolling Inn. And I got
a call from their fan, to make sure if they really were here. I told Kae immediately
after the call, saying that they truely got fans! Both of us felt cool about this.


熱情的粉絲! 早餐後的fan service /
Enthusiastic fans! Fan service after breakfast

隔天早上大約九點多，我和媽媽在咖啡屋裡等著，忽然有一男一女騎車來到咖啡屋
門前停了下來，一問之下，才知道他們就是昨天打給我的粉絲。我請他們先進來坐
，煮咖啡請他們喝，後來粉絲聽到沒有早餐就自報奮勇去處理了，我們建議可以買
國華街的米糕四神湯，然後一份素食的我們買菜粽。Sebastian直說台南的米糕好吃
，而瓜地馬拉來的David也說味噌湯令他想起家鄉食物，我們都有些訝異，好神奇。


Around 9 in the next morning, while mom and I waited at the glass café, a boy and
a girl came, and he’s the fan that called me last night. I invited them to come in, cook
coffee for them. And they volunteered to prepare breakfast for the three, buying the
sticky rice on Guohua Street that we suggested, and we went buying veggie rice
dumplings & miso soup. Sebastian said the sticky rice was amazing, and we were
surprised to hear David from Guatemala said the miso soup remind him of the food
in his country!



吃完早餐，趁著他們在消化的時候，我問他們，對於這一切接踵而至的正負面評價
有什麼樣的看法，又是以怎樣的心情來做這件事。他們說，一開始當然會覺得難過
，因為被曲解成濫用台灣人的友善，但是也不能因為被抨擊就不做這件事，『我們
是為了願意支持我們的人而跑的』他們如是說。


After they finished breakfast, I asked them, what’s their opinions about all the positive
and negative comments, and what kind of mood were they in while doing so. They told
me, at first they feel sad because they were misunderstood as abusing Taiwanese’s
friendliness, but they can’t go down because of the bad comments, “We’re running for
the people who are willing to support us”, so did they say. 



也來合照一下 /
Took a photo together as well

因為喜歡台灣，想要留在這裡開公司，所以也需要募集資本。募款本來就不是強制
的，喜歡認同的人捐，不認同的人就不給，其實只是個簡單的選擇。


Started from the love for Taiwan, wanna stay here and launch a company, and it
definitely need more money. The fundraising is spontaneous, if you can agree with
them, you can give, if you can’t, just don’t do it. It’s simply a choice.



從一個單純一點的出發點來理解這件事，無論是本國人或是外國人，一個月內要完
成徒步環島，本身就是一件很不容易的事。必須堅持每天或跑或走40公里，累到不
行的時候，只能用意志力苦撐。 有人說他們想紅，也許他們確實是變得有名了，但
出名的方式百百種，不一定要選擇這麼辛苦的方式。


Start thinking about it from a simple point, no matter they’re foreigners or Taiwanese,
to finish running around the island in one month, is not a easy thing. To complete it,
they have to insist on running or walking 40 km every day, and have to hold on with
their willpower while feeling tired. Somebody said they’re trying to be famous, maybe
they do become celebrities, but there are many other ways to achieve, they don't have
to choose such a difficult way.

我們的下一批客人正好也有在看他們的更新!! /
New guests are also following their news!



















這是一件需要毅力與堅強的意志才能完成的事，我相信他們一路上一定也遇到了很多
有趣的事，認識很多新的人。現在這趟旅程已經來到了尾聲，他們仍在努力完成這項
壯舉，並計畫在7/30晚間回到台北101，希望大家能多多給他們鼓勵，也願他們接下
來的旅程順順利利!!


It’s something that need perseverance and strong will to complete, I believe they must
have met so many interesting things and new friends. Now the adventure is coming
to the end, and they’re sparing no effort to complete it. Also, they’re planning to arrive
Taipei 101 in the evening of 30 July, sincerely hope that people can give them more
encouragement, and may their following adventure goes really well !!!

驚喜!面紙盒! / Surprise! Tissue boxes!

大大的包裹，收件人寫得是阿公的名字。/
Big big package, the receiver is my grandpa.

茶會後的第一個星期一，

也就是6/5的早上，

忽然收到一個大包裹。

雖然寄件人其實有告訴我，但我忘了告訴大家，
所以就變成一個大驚喜了。

In the morning of 5th June,

the first Monday after the tea party,
We received a big package.
Actually the sender has told me once,
but I totally forgot to tell others,
that's why it became a big surprise.

五個顏色的面紙盒子! /
Tissue boxes in 5 different colors!

大大的包裹裡有五個漂亮的木製面紙盒，
白色的底上面手繪著單色階的圖案，
非常細緻，光看就覺得搞剛。

The big pack contained 5 beautiful wood tissue boxes,
white background with patterns in single hue,

very exquisite, must have lots of works to do.

圖案好細緻! /
Very exquisite!!!

感謝超有才的姑姑Helen Wang,
美麗的面紙盒從今天起將在每個房間理陪伴大家了:)

Thanks to our talent Aunt Helen Wang,
the pretty tissue boxes are going to accompany the guests in every room!

滿月茶會來囉!!! / Here comes our 'Full-Month" Tea Party!!!!

為了慶祝開幕滿月

老林居即將在6/1舉行滿月茶會囉!!!

To celebrate that Rolling Inn has opened for one month,
we're holding a Full-Month Tea Party on 1st June!



這次的文宣我們選擇了紅蛋做為主角。
根據傳統民宿，
嬰兒彌月的時候，
家人會準備紅蛋、油飯等等給親朋好友
昭告大家這個孩子已經滿月，
也討個吉利。

We chose the red egg as our leading role in the DM.
According to the traditional custom,
after the baby was born for one month,
the family will prepare red eggs, sticky rice (oil rice)
for relatives and friends,
to announce that this baby's already "full-month",
and pray for the auspiciousness.



6/1當天下午13:30
我們將準備茶飲、點心等等好吃好喝的，
(據說會有自製的芋粿喔!)
現場也將播放黑膠

不管你有沒有來過 認不認識我們

都歡迎你們來玩喔!!!

At 13:30 on 1st June,
we'll prepare delicious snacks and drink
(and it's said there will be homemade salty taro cakes!)

and play the LPs on the spot.
No matter you've come or not, or know us or not,
you're all welcome to join and celebrate with us!!!!

母親節快樂!!! / Happy Mother's Day!!!

今天是一年一度的母親節，
一個非常非常重要的節日。
以康乃馨為主角拍了好幾張照片，

最後還是選擇了這張照片。

背景的白色座椅現在放在一樓的平台上，

而它事實上是我們小時候的嬰兒床改造的，

我們小時候都曾躺在這，

伴隨著媽媽的搖籃曲一暝大一吋。

Today is the annual Mother's Day, 

an extremely important day. 

We took several pictures which carnations play the main role, 

but in the end we still chose this photo.

The white bench in the background is lying on the 1F outdoor platform,

and it's actually reformed by a baby crib. We all lay on it,

hearing the lalluby mom sings and grew up.

 

其實不只是母親節，而是時時刻刻，
都要對自己的母親心懷感恩，

如果沒有媽媽的辛苦，就沒有今日的我們。
祝天下的媽媽母親節快樂!!!!

In fact we should appreciate our moms not only on Mother's Day,but every day. 

Because we wouldn't even be here without our moms.
All the best wishes and Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies!!!!!

老林居開幕!!! / Opening!!!

老林居在2013/5/5悄悄地開幕了!!

與這棟房子在巷子裡默默一甲子的低調性格相符

我們決定捨棄大張旗鼓的開幕活動
僅簡單地拜拜鳴放鞭炮
宣告老林居正式啓動

Rolling Inn selected 5th May, 2013 as our opening day,
we decided not to have a grand scale opening ceremony,

just to suit the low-key personality of the house,

which stayed humbly and silently in the small alley.
So we simply worshiped and set off firecrackers,

announcing that we started from now on!

叔叔說，拜拜用大杯一點的比較澎湃(台)拉! /
My uncle said, it looks more hearty if we prepare bigger
size drinks!

開幕的前一天

 爸爸和叔叔臨時決定
把當初因為沒有地方放而收起來的黑膠唱機搬出來
他們說：『難得都修好了，還是想拿來放給大家聽聽』
為了讓唱機在玻璃屋裡有棲身之處
開始動手把舊衣櫥的底層抽屜櫃改造成架子
將近傍晚才做好。

The day before our opening,

my dad and uncle decided to take out the LP player,

which was stored because of the lack of space.
"It's not easy to repair it, we'd like to play it for our guests.",

so did they say.
We started to reform the bottom drawer as a table for the LP player,

and it was finished at about nightfall.

開幕當天
我們在正午時分開始舉香祭拜
祈求上蒼保佑 讓我們能夠一切順利
一大早就跑來說要幫忙熱鬧的阿伯夫婦
本來說中午就要準備趕去斗六看棒球
還是很夠義氣地(先)留了下來
(題外話：大家真的要支持中華職棒阿!!)

We started worshiping at midday,

praying that everything can go well.

An uncle couple came very early to celebrate the opening,

they planed to go to Douliou in the noon for baseball game,

but stayed longer till 14:00.
(And, please support our CPBL!!!)

阿伯夫婦很可愛，去挺棒球之前還來幫忙 /
The uncle couple are lovely, they came to help before
going to to the baseball game.

在等待香燒完的時間裡

我們坐在玻璃屋裡面

喝著現煮咖啡 播黑膠唱片

黑膠唱片透過擴大器放出來的聲音
有一股很朦朧的美

微微的雜音 音質雖比不上現代的CD
卻很有真實存在著的舊時代韻味
不甚完美 卻令人陶醉

While waiting for the incense to burn,
we sat in the glass house,

drank fresh made coffee and listened to the LP.
The sound of LP came out from the speaker

with a hazy beauty.
It has a little bit defects

and the tone quality can not be compared with modern CD,
but it's so real and there's an aroma of the old times.
It's definitely not perfect, but Intoxicating.

黑膠唱片的聲音有著舊時代的韻味 /
The LP has an aroma of the old times

等香燒得差不多了 就開始焚燒金紙

然後再兩個門口都燃放鞭炮 宣告正式開幕!

感謝從早到晚來踩踏為我們添熱鬧的親朋好友
以及路過看到門開開跑進來的新朋友:)

We started to burn the god money after the incenses are finished,
and then set off firecrackers in front of the two doors,
announcing our opening!
Thanks for all the friends who came to make it prosperous,
and the new friends who passed by but came in
as the door was open :)

放鞭炮宣告開幕! /
Setting off firecrackers to announce our opening!

我們將在六月初舉辦滿月茶會
歡迎大家屆時一起來熱鬧熱鬧!!

We'll have a full-month tea party at the beginning of June,
You're all welcome to come and celebrate with us!!
