台湾基督长老教会-淡水教会 圣诞夜安静严肃的做了祷告，为家人亲人的身体状况和每个人所面临的难处祷告。赶在圣诞节前把圣经的旧约终于看完了。我其实对寺庙道观的建筑，法器，檀香的味道都非常感兴趣。估计是从小西游记看多了的缘故，总是喜欢去庙里看壁画和雕刻的神神鬼鬼。每次去寺庙都有种与自己的文化的根基相连接，穿越时空的感觉。反倒是去教堂觉得那些画和使徒的形象离我的文化很远。但是我去寺庙这么多次都不会哭，只有去教堂才会。今天终于破解迷团，在寺庙里只有心的感动，比起西方的教堂，神秘的东方才是养我长大的根。而对于教堂，则是灵的感动。一个人的身心灵，心的家寄托在与自己的文化上，而灵的家真的是在信仰上。感谢姥姥从小就带我认识上帝。我在高中叛逆期时是个无神论者，并且习惯性的诋毁辱骂过上帝，听到他人赞美上帝时嗤之以鼻。之后又信奉其他的神明。去年开始才慢慢转回来。如果说我这辈子只能做一个见证，那就是证明耶稣的存在与爱。从小我就经历了太多奇妙的事情，到现在也是如此。求就得到，寻找就寻见。继续作见证人。 ...
Japanese Homework and Diary The diary 没山的地方真的很没劲。这是我的偏见，但我不会改变。 离台前争取把这套《丰子恺全集》看完。看不完文字也要把美术卷都过一遍～！ Tamkung大学の図書館何回も行きました。読みたい本が多いすぎる。どうしよう！先週から一ヶ月台湾の暮らしが終わった。まだ続ける。毎日外食するけど、食べたい物やいきたいレストランがまだいっぱいある。最高! 豆腐系の物がたくさんあるし、手作りの豆腐もどこでもあります。安くてめっちゃおいしい。毎朝朝市に行って、しあわせすぎる。前知り合い人と話して 「シえさん、好きな住んでいる場所はどんな場所ですか」と言った。 「火山がある島です。暖かい天気、palm treeもあるし、美味しいものもあるし、最高の図書館もあるし。あと、うるさい都会じゃない、でも便利なところです。」「うん、それなら、便利なこと、ちょっと難しいな。」 全然難しくない。このへんは完璧な例です。 今年最後の読んでいる本は「気まずい」というテーマです。毎年、人に信頼ことができなくなりました。それは、客観的な観察をした結果です。今年日本語のレッスンの最後の宿題を付きました。今年4月から初めて真剣的に勉強している、でも、「日本が大好き」ことがだんだんできませんでした。でも、私の心の中に、日本のデイザンはまだ世界の一番だと思っている。デイザン以外、hard to say. 日本語の勉強する理由が弱くなった。 でも、日本の暮らしの経験のおかげさまで、自分の壊れた心やたましが癒しました。二年ぐらい日本に住んだら、良いことや悪いことが全部覚える。I don't forget. I don't forgive. I only accept this is what happened. 台湾にいて、めっちゃよかった。thank God. ...

Part 3 of Day 1 in Hanoi. 越南河内的第三段儿暴走。只记得飘来的风都是热浪一股。四十度的天儿。避暑之后再出门，再回空调房再避暑再出门。就这样和朋友往返宾馆四五次。再某一段上差点儿就被热瘫痪。 对河内市的第一或第三第十印象都觉得是国内八九十年代的水平。颜色是破败的鲜艳。拥挤不堪嘈杂不堪肮脏不堪。落后已经是他们引以为豪的特色。（这完全是我的个人观察和武断的总结。我承认是盲人摸象。但我实在无法否认或美化我的观察。） 河内是我这些年走过的内心里最不喜欢的地方。但是庆幸有“到此一游”。本来签证是一个月，来之前还打算从北走到南。结果在河内待了九天已经等不及的想要回国。碰到有些国内的驴友都说越南人很不错，人不坏，很放松。我同意这句话的一半。当地人，与商业钱财利益无瓜葛的人会对你友好。一旦涉及旅游业服务行业人士，真是贪婪不靠谱流氓强盗。 人差的地方我是不会再去的。...
