(分享-閱讀)在台灣我曾遇見過的

*The book was written in Chinese

and currently no English version.

So the sharing will be all in Chinese.

上週，來自香港的獨立作家子聰來訪
為他的下一本關於台南的著作取材
短短的時間內聊了許多天

從開始的契機 到旅行 生活等等
是非常愉快的一次訪談

他也帶來了他的著作
『在台灣我曾遇見過的』
跟我們分享
本來想當天就立刻分享給大家

後來還是想等我們看完之後
再一起跟大家說說讀後的想法

閱讀這本書是一個有趣而輕鬆的經驗

因為作者本身的背景關係

可以觀察到很細微的用字不同
(但絕不影響閱讀)

透過作者的眼看台灣 對比香港的情況

對於政治經濟的現況也有自己的見解

這本書的採訪並不局限於台南

每一篇文字都是作者自己的體驗

以一個地點出發

但內容並不局限於描述地方
而是把主題設為"人"
細數他遇見的人 與人之間的交流

以及店主的生活態度等等

慢慢描繪出細微的生活樣貌
看見在這座島嶼上認真生活的人們

整體而言是閱讀起來很放鬆

但心裡會有一些想法盤旋的書
(還真是有點抽象的描述)

有興趣的話 可以到以下這些點試閱或購買

寄售及試閱點在此

當然在老林居也可以看到這本書啦
希望大家喜歡這次的分享:)

關於登革熱 / About Dengue Fever

相信大家都聽說了
最近登革熱在台南大流行

也有一些遊客來過臺南後感染登革熱

其實在重點防疫的北區和中西區
大多數的地區都已經噴灑過登革熱的藥
下雨過後許多地方都重新施藥
包括老林居所在的區域也剛噴灑過
謹記以下原則 可以大大減少感染的可能~

You must have heard of the epidemic situation

of Dengue Fever in Tainan.
Some of the tourists had dengue fever after visiting Tainan.

Actually the government has sprayed in most of the places
in the North & West Central Districts in Tainan.
After the heavy rains, the government also arrange
some re-spary in many areas,
including the area Rolling Inn located.

Follow the principles, they actually help
to decrease the probability of being infected.


 來臺南要注意/ Please Note 

1.服裝 What to wear

盡量選擇長褲為主 可以加薄外套

減少可能被蚊子叮咬的面積

Pants, trousers are suggested.

Better with a outerwear.
To reduce the skin area that might be bitten.

2.防蚊液 Mosquito repellent

攜帶防蚊液 隨時補噴

Please carry a mosquito repellent.

3.行程規劃 Planning

請盡量避免前往容易孳生病媒蚊處

如傳統市場 黃昏市場等
如果還是想去 請不要逗留太久時間~

Please avoid visiting places that have more mosquitos
like traditional markets, evening markets..
If you still want to go, then don't spend too much time.

 B.老林居的準備 Our Preparation 

老林居一館因為滿院子的植物和樹

難免會有蚊子

不過我們都有做適當的處理

Because of the trees and plants that fill the yard,
it's hard to avoid all mosquitos near Rolling Inn 1.
But we did deal with it carefully and properly 

1.水池/水缸處理 Water containers
不流動的積水容易孳生病媒蚊
老林居一館的水池有循環系統保持其為活水
並養魚 避免蚊蟲孳生

水缸等容器也都養很多魚
魚會幫忙消滅孑孓喔!

It's easy to have mosquitos in lentic water.
Rolling Inn 1 has an equipment to make the pool water living.
to prevent the wrigglers.
Also we have fishes in all pools and containers.
The fishes eat wrigglers!

2.防蚊處理 Keep mosquitos away
大門口點蚊香 房內配置補蚊器具

也會噴灑防蚊防蟲藥物

We put mosquito coil incense in front of the entrance
and spray bug off & mosquito off.
Every room is equipped with mosquito zapper.

3.提供防蚊液 Provide mosquito repellent
老林居一二館都會準備防蚊液
客人在離開前都可以補噴
減少病媒蚊叮咬的可能
*請勿將防蚊液攜出老林居喔!

We prepare mosquito repellent for our guests
in both Rolling Inn 1 & 2.
Guests can spray it before going out
to decrease the chance of being bitten by mosquitos.

4.配合政府方針 Follow official policy
市政府相關單位會規畫時間前來噴藥
老林居也已配合施藥(包含室內)

The authorities concerned arrange when to spray.
Rolling Inn 1&2 have recently sprayed both in- and outdoor.

 C.來過台南以後 

登革熱一般在病媒蚊叮咬後5-8天會發病
登革熱的症狀大概有以下幾種
頭痛 發燒38度以上 紅疹 關節肌肉痛 眼窩後疼痛

黃斑病變：看東西有暗點等

如果再來過台南後5-8天有類似症狀
記得盡速就診喔!!!

Dengue Fever normally has a 5 to 8-day-long incubation.
and has symptoms like:
headache, fever, red rash, joints & muscle pain,
eyehole pain, maculopathy...
If you have these symptoms after visiting Tainan,
please go to the doctor immediately!!!

行前多準備 來時多注意 回去多留意
其實還是不必過度恐慌的

Get prepared before, be careful during staying,

and be aware after leaving.
Actually you don't have to be too panic.

+++ 老林居 關心您 +++
+++Rolling Inn cares about you+++

2014點‧心設計邀請展『見本』/ 2014 Dian Shin "FundaMENtal"

學長認真介紹中 / Ａ senior of my department is introducing has work

一年一度的點心設計邀請展來囉
還不太知道這個展覽由來的新朋友
可以看看去年的這篇文章
2013點‧心設計邀請展『寶用』
去年的點心展有許多展品是在老林居拍攝的喔!

(感到非常榮幸)

The annual Dian Shin /Design refreshment is coming!
For more informations please check the article we wrote last year
2013 Dian Shin "Treasure Trove"
Some products last year were shot in Rolling Inn.
(We're so honored)


今年的點心設計展以「見本」為題
邀請大家一起探見設計的根本
「見本」一方面致力將概念表達為完整的商品
另一方面也不要忘記設計創作的根本價值
讓社會朝向品質與品味兼具的生活邁進。
This year, Dian Shin sets its title as "FundaMENtal",
invite everybody to discover the foundation of design.
FundaMENtal worked hard to transform concepts into complete products,
and do not forget the original value of creating design at the same time,
giving the society more quality and taste in life.


此次也特別挑戰無文字說明的展覽方式
設計師必須更用心去傳達自己的理念
觀眾也要更用心去感受
並用自己的方式去詮釋 取得與自己生活的連結

This time they try to display without explanation.
Designers must work harder to express their ideas,
the visitors also have to feel it harder,to get the connection with their lives. 

融入竹編圖騰的作品 / With patterns of bamboo weaving

今年有許多展品都使用竹材 /
Many products were made of bamboo

繽紛的展品們是器皿上纏繞線 /
These products are bottles with vivid threads

融入厲害的傳統技藝/
With amazing traditional techniques 

『見本』在台南的展出即將在本週日結束
現在正在台北花博公園 圓山爭豔館展出
趕快利用這個週末去看看吧!!!

日本來的大驚喜 Big surprise from Japan - ARANZI ARONZO!!!

老林居開幕至今一年來
接待過十幾個不同國家的朋友們

每個國家的風土民情不同
人的個性和習慣也不同
透過接待和相處 我們感受著這樣的不同

也覺得非常有趣

After opening in May 2013,
We met so many new friends
from about 13 different countries.
Every country has its local customs and practices,
the personalities are all different.
Through the accommodation
and getting along with them,
we found the differences and felt interesting.


在這當中
日本客人的"好禮"、"多禮"
一直是令我們非常驚歎且印象深刻的
我們遇到的第一位日本客人
在聊天的同時
一邊訴說著日本對台灣的感謝
一邊落下感性的淚水
隔天還送給我們有著美麗圖案的敷巾(ふきん)
讓我們非常的驚喜

AMong all,
the politeness that the Japanese guests show
always make us surprised and impressed.
Our very first guest from Japan,
told us how Japanese appreciate Taiwan,
and dropped her sentimental tears while chatting.
The next day, she gave us
two ふきん(fabric) with beautiful patterns.
We were surprised and delighted by the secret present.


在那之後的日本客人也都非常客氣
來的時候一定會說"お邪魔します"(打擾了)
受到幫助的時候會不停的道謝
要離開的時候 也會跟在場的每個人道謝兼道別

After that, all the Japanese guests
are very polite and kind.
Always say "お邪魔します"
(Excuse me for disturbing) on arrival,
keep saying thank you when we offer any help,
express their appreciation and say goodbye
before they left.


今年的五月
來自大阪的ARANZI ARONZO團隊一行四人
因工作前來的他們
包下了整個二樓 在老林居留宿了四天
抵達的第一天
就先送給我們お土産
是大阪本店限定的仙貝一盒
(超可愛的我都要尖叫了!!!)

In May this year,
A team of 4, from ARANZI ARONZO in Osaka,
came on business purpose.
They booked the whole 2F
and stayed 4 nights in Rolling Inn.
On the arrival, they gave us a souvenir,
it's a box of crackers which is only
available in their Osaka Main Store.
(So adorable that I can't help screaming!!)

仙貝上面有可愛的圖案!! /Lovely patterns on the crackers

期間她們一直都非常客氣
即使是連續住四天
但去幫她們清潔 倒垃圾跟補水的時候
還是可以發現他們把所有的東西都擺得非常整潔
還有很多地方 都可以看出她們的細心和禮貌
跟她們聊天泡茶也都非常愉快
離開前和她們拍了照片
她們說如果再來臺南
會非常樂意再來拜訪我們: )

During the stay they were really polite.
We found out while doing daily cleansing & resupply,
they still kept the space clean and neat everyday
 even though they're staying 4 nights,
You can see how they care about the details
& politeness, from many sides.
It's so delightful to chat with them.
We took a picture with them before they left.
They said if they came to Tainan,
they would love to visit us again.

阿嬤和可愛的本店限定仙貝 /
Grandma with lovely limited crackers.

過了幾週後
有一天忽然收到一個來自日本的包裹
裡面有好幾張她們的卡片
還有好幾捲ARANZI ARONZO的紙膠帶!!!
真的是非常驚喜的禮物!!!

A couple of weeks later,
We received a package from Japan.
there are postcards
and many lovely masking tapes
from ARANZI ARONZO!!!
Such an amazing surprising gift!!!

感謝ARANZI ARONZO可愛的大家
帶給我們很棒的回憶
很多可以學習的事
還有可以嘴角上揚好幾天的理由
也希望你們在台南進行的事順利喔!!!

Thanks a looooot
to everyone in ARANZI ARONZO
you brought us great memories
many things to learn
and a reason to keep smiling for many days!
We also send our best wishes and hope
the things you're proceeding in Tainan runs successfully!!!!

p.s 河童實在是超可愛的阿 / The kappa is just tooooo cute!
