Info on episode 8: Chulu Ranch, Taitung 台東初鹿牧場


Time for Taiwan 2015-2016 Episode 8 Chulu Ranch, Taitung 台東初鹿牧...
Transcript 文字稿:Today I’m taking you to Taitung, where the countryside is beautiful. We’re going to Chulu Ranch, a place known for its delicious milk and where you can go off-roading on electric two-wheeled self-balancing vehicles.今天我要帶大家到台東,這裡的鄉間景色超級漂亮。我們要到初鹿農場,品嚐好喝的牛奶,還有玩越野電動風火輪。One great way to get around is by Taiwan Tourist Shuttles. Today we start our journey at the Taitung Bus Station’s visitor’s center.台灣好行巴士是一個很棒的交通工具。今天我們要從台東轉運站出發。We want to go to Chulu Ranch, so we need to take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle East Rift Valley Line. We’re at the visitor center here and Chulu ranch is here.我們要到初鹿農場,所以要搭台灣好行縱谷鹿野線。我們現在在轉運站遊客中心這邊,農場在這裡。You can use an Easycard or iPass to pay for the bus fare, which ranges from NT$24 to NT$120 per ride. There’s a day pass that you can buy on the bus for NT$190, which is a good deal too.車資可以用悠遊卡或一卡通來付費,看你坐多遠,最便宜一段票24元,最貴120元。其實一日券也很划算,一天190吃到飽。Taitung is on the southeastern side of Taiwan, and the East Rift Valley is the area between the central and coastal mountain ranges. Rice paddies, orchards and pastures make up most of the landscape that you see.台東是在台灣的東南邊,縱谷就是指中央和海岸山脈之間的地帶。這裡的景色主要以稻田,果園,還有牧場為主。This is the countryside, but it’s not boring at all . At Chulu Ranch, I can play until the cows come home.這裡蠻鄉下的,不過一點都不無聊。在初鹿農場,我可以玩一整天。Chulu is most famous for its milk. Because only a limited amount is available, I get very excited when I can find milk from here in Taipei. But whether you’re a fan or just curious about how milk is produced, you can learn a lot here.初鹿最有名的是牛奶,因為數量很有限,我在台北看到他們的牛奶就超興奮。來到這裡,可以學到很多關於生產牛奶的知識。How much milk does each cow produce a day? About 20 liters. How much grass does the cow need to eat to produce all that milk? Forty to 50 kilograms. How many meals do they need to take a day to finish all that grass? Three to four. Whoa. Warm milk. So what's the difference between feeding a cow grass and grains? The cows here are fed grass and supposedly grass is more nutritious, and that’s what makes the milk taste better.一頭牛一天可以生產多少牛奶?大約20公升。一頭牛要吃多少的草才能生產這麼多牛奶?40到50公斤。一天要吃幾餐才能吃掉這麼多牧草?3到4餐。哇,溫溫的牛奶!吃草和吃榖有什麼不同呢?這裡的牛都吃草。據說因為草比較營養,這些吃草的牛提供的奶,比較好喝。And this is my favorite part about coming here.我來這裡最喜歡的就是這個。The cows here graze on a pasture most of the day between meals. Notice the area the cows graze on is quite hilly. By making the cows graze on hilly areas, they have to walk up and down the hills, which makes them exercise. And exercise is good for health.這邊的牛不在吃飯的時候,大概都在放牧。可以注意牠們放牧的地方都是山坡地,在山坡地,牛們必須爬坡,爬上爬下運動,運動就是為了健康。Back in downtown Taitung, this is Tiehua Village, where you can do a little bit of shopping for handicrafts, get something to eat or drink and enjoy live music.回到台東市區,這裡是鐵花村。這裡可以買一些手作的東西,可以喝點飲料,吃點東西,聽聽音樂表演。Taitung is a soothing kind of place. Kilometers after kilometers of open space, fields, crops, mountains, rivers and hills. I really think that a bit of this once in a while is good for health. It’s beautiful, it's fun and helps cleanse the soul. You should come.台東是一個很療癒的地方。這裡讓人心曠神怡,好多田地,農作物,有山,也有水。我真的覺得偶爾來這邊,沉浸在這環境中對健康有意。這裡漂亮,好玩,還能洗滌心靈。大家要來喔。——————————Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記:The Taiwan Tourist Shuttle’s East Rift Valley Bus will pick you up at Taitung Train Station, which is perfect if you’ve just gotten off the train. We were already in Taitung City, so we started from the Taitung Bus Station. The name for the bus station stop can be confusing. I think I saw “Visitor’s Center” and “Taitung Bus Station,” and both are the same stop. The local bus company that runs this line also has great deals on other packages, including lots of discounts at restaurants, hotels and shops, but all the information is in Chinese.台灣好行縱谷鹿野線在台東車站和轉運站都有停,如果搭火車,可以直接在台東車站上好行,我們是在轉運站上車的。經營縱谷鹿野線的客運公司是鼎東,他們也有一些套票,感覺蠻優惠的,可以研究一下。There are a few stops between the train and bus station, Beinan Cultural Park is one of them. The park has lots of trees and grass to enjoy - a nice place for a picnic! I think Taitung is a place to stay for a few days, or even longer. Cost of living in Taitung is low, and you can ride around town on a bicycle, go a little further by bus, train or rental car. There are supermarkets, traditional markets, stores for electronics, a movie theater, hospitals…I see why people like to retire there.台東車站和轉運站之間還有幾個站,其中是卑南文化公園。這裡有大~片的草皮,好多樹,應該是野餐的好地點。台東是個可以多停留幾天,或是好幾天的地方。這裡物價比較便宜,市內交通可以騎腳踏車,要走遠一點就租車,搭公車或火車。Chulu Ranch started as a demonstration farm, then was later rented out to a private enterprise, whose owner has always wanted a farm of his own. Mostly the farm produces tasty milk. In Taipei, you have to go to select supermarkets to get this milk and it’s only available in limited quantities, so when I can get my hands on a carton, I do get a bit excited. By the way, another farm whose milk I love is JJ Farm, who prides themselves on never feeding or injecting their cows antibiotics. I got to visit the farm a few years ago also for the show. If a cow gets sick at JJ, they give it herbal medicine and let the animal slowly recover without chemical medicine. JJ Farm's milk can be found in high end supermarkets under the “65C” brand, which come in a glass bottle. From what I understand, it’s the same thing as Dr Milker, which they supply for President. The milk is called 65C because the milk is pasteurized at 65 degrees Celsius, which saves some of the nutrients from being completely cooked and killed, in other words, it’s a more nutritious milk. The good thing about both Chulu and 65C milk is, they’re packaged at the farm then shipped. A lot of times, milk is shipped first, blended with other milk sources, then packaged.初鹿牧場當初是示範農場,後來租給民間團體,承租的這位大老闆一直很想要擁有一座牧場。初鹿牧場主要生產牛奶。在台北不太好買到初鹿的牛奶,所以看到的時候,我都超興奮。這裡的空氣和水源都很乾淨,加上主要飼料是營養較豐富的草,所以牛奶特別好喝。其實還有一家農場的牛奶我個人也很喜歡,花蓮吉蒸農場的65C。幾年前去過吉蒸拍台灣好好玩,他們說那裡的牛生病的時候都吃草藥,不吃,不注射抗生素,然後慢慢恢復健康,他們說這叫做「無毒牧場」。另外,吉蒸殺菌溫度在65度,比一般低,時間比較長,所以保留住較多的養分。65C和初鹿牛奶的共同優點是,整個生產過程都在自己農場裡。很多牛奶都是經過運送到別的地方,和別的牛奶混和,裝在一起。At Chulu Ranch, there are other farm animals like donkeys, goats, horses, chicken and pigs but they’re mostly for petting and looking at. Sometimes they manage to dig they way out of of their pen and come hang out with the guests. I think it’s good chance for small kids to get to see these animals up close and personal. For older kids and adults that don't want to grow up, you can take a Segway tour of the farm and ride over the rolling fields. It was my first time on a Segway, and it really wasn’t difficult to learn! I really enjoyed it. We also so a lot of cherry trees on the farm, and riding or walking through those must be really nice when the flowers blossom.初鹿農場還有其他的動物,驢,羊,馬,雞,豬等等,主要都是給民眾看的,有一些會鑽出來玩,很好笑。我覺得是個小朋友近距離接觸不同動物的好機會。大一點的孩子,或不想長大的大人,Segway導覽還蠻適合的。我的Segway初體驗就在初鹿,一點都不難,而且很好玩!用Segway到處跑的時候,有看到好幾棵櫻花樹,花季一定很美。They have some food at the ranch and it wasn’t bad, but I think it can be much, much better because they’re so close to sources of food.初鹿有餐點,所以不用怕餓,但說不上好吃。我覺得他們的餐點很有機會變得很好吃,畢竟自己就是農場,離食材的來源那麼近。My suggestion for visiting the farm: take the tour they have, whether it’s on a golf cart or on a Segway. It’s a lot more interesting if you hear the story of the farm and know what you’re looking at.如果要去初鹿牧場玩,我建議大家參加他們的導覽解說,不管是在高爾夫球車聽,還是在Segway上聽,有聽才有意義。沒聽就走馬看花,有點可惜。After Chulu, we stopped by Luye, where they hold the hot air balloon festival every year. Recently a hot air balloon flight school was started nearby. Hopefully we’ll get to visit them one day.離開初鹿之後,我們到了鹿野高台,每年熱氣球嘉年華的舉辦地點。最近這附近還開了間熱氣球飛行學校,希望有一天能去看看。Back in downtown Taitung, Tiehua Village is always a nice place to stop by at night because of the music events they have. On the weekends, there’s a market where people come to sell handicrafts (some modern, some traditional), produce and food. I got a cute little handmade bag for my mom there once.回到台東市區,鐵花村是一個幾乎每次都會去的地方。鐵花村晚上有音樂表演,假日還有市集,賣蔬果,食品,還有手作小物。我在那裡幫翁奶奶買過一個小包包。Big O Pizzeria next to Tiehua Village is not bad. It’s pricey, but the food is pretty good and it’s a nice place to have some beer, wine and enjoy a nice conversation with friends.鐵花村旁邊有一家叫做Big O Pizzeria,氣氛和料理都不錯。We stayed at Hoya, a hotel chain that has been very kind to us over the years. Their Taitung city hotel opened in the last year I believe, and it’s clean, comfortable and convenient. They have bicycles you can borrow to ride to Tiehua Village, or to anywhere else in the city.我們最近如果在台東市,都會住富野。台東富野是最近一年才開的吧,很舒適,乾淨,也有提供腳踏車在市區騎。富野過去都很幫忙,願意配合我們的出差預算。感謝他們~——————————Links 連結:Chulu Ranch 初鹿牧場 http://www.chuluranch.comJJ Farm 吉蒸牧場 http://jjfarm.com.twTaiwan Tourist Shuttle East Rift Valley Route 台灣好行台東縱谷鹿野線 http://www.taiwantrip.com.tw/Besttour/Info/?id=17Dingdong buses 鼎東客運 http://www.鼎東客運.twTie Hua Village 鐵花村 http://www.tiehua.com.twBig O Pizzeria https://www.facebook.com/BigOPizzeria/Hoya Resort Hotel Taitung 台東富野 http://www.hoyaresort.com.tw/taitung/——————————Accessories 配件:Overalls: kotipesä http://www.kotipesa.comWatch: Martian摩絢錶 http://www.martianwatches.com.twShoes: Rucoline

我們要到初鹿農場,所以要搭台灣好行縱谷鹿野線。我們現在在轉運站遊客中心這邊,農場在這裡。

You can use an Easycard or iPass to pay for the bus fare, which ranges from NT$24 to NT$120 per ride. There’s a day pass that you can buy on the bus for NT$190, which is a good deal too.
車資可以用悠遊卡或一卡通來付費,看你坐多遠,最便宜一段票24元,最貴120元。其實一日券也很划算,一天190吃到飽。

Taitung is on the southeastern side of Taiwan, and the East Rift Valley is the area between the central and coastal mountain ranges. Rice paddies, orchards and pastures make up most of the landscape that you see.
台東是在台灣的東南邊,縱谷就是指中央和海岸山脈之間的地帶。這裡的景色主要以稻田,果園,還有牧場為主。

This is the countryside, but it’s not boring at all . At Chulu Ranch, I can play until the cows come home.
這裡蠻鄉下的,不過一點都不無聊。在初鹿農場,我可以玩一整天。

Chulu is most famous for its milk. Because only a limited amount is available, I get very excited when I can find milk from here in Taipei. But whether you’re a fan or just curious about how milk is produced, you can learn a lot here.

Taitung is a soothing kind of place. Kilometers after kilometers of open space, fields, crops, mountains, rivers and hills. I really think that a bit of this once in a while is good for health. It’s beautiful, it's fun and helps cleanse the soul. You should come.
台東是一個很療癒的地方。這裡讓人心曠神怡,好多田地,農作物,有山,也有水。我真的覺得偶爾來這邊,沉浸在這環境中對健康有意。這裡漂亮,好玩,還能洗滌心靈。大家要來喔。

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 7: Buddha Memorial Center Kahohisung2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第七集:高雄大樹 佛陀紀念館Transcript 文字稿:To achieve peace, some people prepare for war and some for transcendence. Let’s explore the latter today. I want to show you Fo Guang Shan’s Buddha Memorial Center, where people don’t go to pray, but go to get to know about Buddhism.為了世界和平,有些人選擇打仗。為了心靈平安,有些人選擇看透生命,超越煩惱而得到解脫。今天我想帶大家到佛光山佛陀紀念館,這裡不是個拜佛的場所,是個認識佛教的地方。The Buddha Memorial Center is in Dashu, Kaohsiung. So we’re going to take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle, Dashu Line. An good way to do it would be to take the Kaohsiung MRT to Dadong Station and get on the shuttle from there. Right now we’re at Dadong here and we’re going to take the shuttle down to here, the Buddha Memorial Center.佛陀紀念館位於高雄大樹區,所以我們要搭台灣好行大樹祈福線。從高雄捷運大東站轉好行巴士是個好方法。我們現在在捷運大東站,然後要搭好行巴士到佛陀紀念館站。You can buy a day pass for the Dashu line on the bus for NT$30, an unbelievable price.大樹祈福線還有一日券,在車上購買,才30元,有夠便宜。This is the Buddha Memorial Center, and it’s free to get in, I usually try to donate what I can at these places, because donations help keep the doors open.佛陀紀念館不需要門票,不過到這種免門票的地方,我會盡量樂捐一下,幫一點忙。The memorial center is quite spacious, so be prepared to walk. This is called a memorial center, but perhaps the most interesting bit is the museum, that thing back there. And on both sides of the path to the museum, there are these Chinese pagodas. They are a traditional type of architecture, not made for people to live in, but for people to worship in.整個紀念館其實蠻大的,所以要有多走幾步路的心理準備喔。這裡雖然是叫做「紀念館」,不過最有趣的地方是它的「博物館」。現在兩旁的這幾寶座塔是一種中國傳統建築,裡面不住人,通常都是讓人拜拜的地方。Buddhism is based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha, also known as the Buddha, who lived between the 4th to 6th century BCE. He was born Siddhartha Gautama, a prince, and was said would become either a great king or a great monk. His father the king was worried that his son would end up the latter, so hid all forms of suffering from him. But one day when Siddhartha snuck out of the palace, he witnessed old age, sickness and death, things that saddened him and put him on the path to seek and later to share the way of enlightenment.佛教的思想主要是佛陀對於子弟的教導。西元前四到六世紀,一名叫做悉達多的王子出生時,有人說他不是成為偉大的國王,就是成為偉大的和尚。他的父親,就是當時的國王,很害怕兒子出家,因此把生命中所有的苦給藏了起來。不過有一天悉達多偷偷溜出城門,看見了人世間的生老病死。他感到很難過,於是決定尋找和分享超越生死與痛苦的方法。This is the Buddha’s relic, one of his teeth. Some people come out here especially to see this.這是佛陀的牙舍利,有些人會專程來看這個。The way I see Buddhism and the process of enlightenment is, you study and learn and understand. Twenty-six… And meditate to transcend and detach. There are several ways to meditate. Some do it by sitting quietly, some people by making repetitive motions like practicing kung fu at Shaolin Temple, some do it by making and drinking tea. Today I'm going to do it by transcribing sutra.我對佛教和超越生死的理解是,多學習,多了解,多冥想,讓自己解脫。冥想有幾種不同的方法,有些人打坐,有些人,像少林寺的和尚就是練功夫,有些人透過茶道,今天呢,我們要抄經冥想。I have a hard time writing Chinese, but they make it easier here for you by giving you these very, very short verses to trace. They say transcribing helps you meditate, it gives you merit, and to me, I’m learning how to write Chinese. So I guess this is killing three birds with one stone. Well, maybe not killing. Catching three birds with one stone. 我不太會寫中文,不過他們很貼心的為大家準備可以描寫的一句短短的經文。據說抄經可以冥想,可以累積功德,我也可以邊練習中文,所以這可以說是一石三鳥嗎?不對,我們不應該殺生。On the way back to downtown Kaohsiung, if you still have a little bit of time left, you can stop by the Old Railroad Bridge Wetlands. It’s kind of pretty there, and theres a really old tile factory next to it that is quite cool. There’s a bit of DIY to do there too.回高雄市區的路上,可以到舊鐵橋溼地玩一下,這裡蠻漂亮的,旁邊還有一間很酷的老瓦窯。這裡有DIY可以玩喔~Some of the kilns are still fired by wood, and the combination of shadow and light from fire and from the sun makes this place wonderful for taking pictures. But in addition to tiles, they also make everyday items for the home.這裡有一些窯還是燒柴的呢。這裡的火光,陽光,還有陰影非常漂亮,很適合拍照。除了建材,他們還有一些很不錯的家用產品喔~These coasters with traditional Chinese motifs, I’ve seen them in design shops and department stores. And this is a soap dish in the shape of a washboard, that’s another two birds with one…nevermind. It’s DIY time! To me, working with my hands is a form of meditation too.這些中國風的陶瓷杯墊蠻酷的。我在一些重視設計的店,還有百貨公司有看過。這是一個洗衣版造型的皂盤,又是一石兩...沒事。來DIY囉!對我來說,用手做東西也是一種冥想的方法。If you don’t count location scouting, this is my first time in Dashu and in the Buddha Memorial Center. And I'm really happy that we got to make this trip because I’ve always been curious about Buddhism. This time, I learned a little bit about the religion, about meditation, achieving inner peace and facing my fears. So I think it’s been quite educational. I’m really happy. You should come.不算勘景的話,這是我第一次來大樹和佛陀紀念館。我很開心有機會來這裡,因為我一直對佛教很好奇。這一次的旅行,我學到了關於佛教的一些理念,冥想,如何達到內心的平靜,還有面對我的恐懼。這次收穫很多。我很滿意。大家要來喔!——————————Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記:On this trip, we visited the Buddha Memorial Center and San He, an old tile factory. I really enjoyed the museum because I learned a lot about Buddhism, which is something I’ve been curious about, and also had fun at San He Kiln, which has giant kilns that you can walk into, and watch the craftsmen work with the tiles and kilns up close. They have a variety of DIY courses there, and I really enjoyed making a ceramic soap dish that I converted into an ashtray at the request of my partner and good friend Charles. The old railroad bridge was kinda cool, but I wish they left the original rustic, oxidized color instead of painting it grey. Now it just looks dirty and dusty. If you are big on trains and photography, the old railroad bridge and the marsh area by it make some nice pictures at sunrise and at sunset.這一次的旅行,我們到了佛陀紀念館和三和瓦窯。我覺得佛陀紀念館特別有趣,因為我學到很多關於佛教的東西。我一直對佛教很好奇。三和瓦窯也很好玩,因為裡面有好大的窯可以進去參觀,也可以近距離看師傅們工作。三和瓦窯有好幾個DIY活動可以做,我們選擇了皂盤,不過在我的好搭和好朋友柏勳哥的要求下,我把它改成了煙灰缸。舊鐵橋也蠻酷的,但漆得灰灰的,好像有點可惜,如果保留原本氧化的顏色,搞不好還很復古,但現在看起來就只有一個髒髒的感覺。你如果喜歡火車,喜歡拍照,舊鐵橋和溼地在清晨和落日的時候,拍起來特別美。We stayed at Howard Plaza Kaohsiung, which has lots of noisy tourists, but the rooms are very quiet and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet is good. It’s an old hotel, but the service is good and you feel the effort they are putting into making the place better. I like that.我們住高雄福華,這裡房客的嗓門還蠻大的,但房間安靜,舒適,早餐也好吃。飯店很老了,不過服務不錯,也感受得到他們認真的在更新。我喜歡這種感覺。On a more personal note, my mom practices Taoism and Buddhism (as do most other people in Taiwan), my dad follows along because he says it doesn’t hurt to, and from when I was little, I kind of just went through the motions. I didn't have much of an understanding of anything, just that there seemed to be lots of beings to pray to, from ancestors to gods, and lots of festivities throughout the year, honoring both the dead and the immortals. In junior high school, I attended a Catholic school and the impression that this religion left me was, you listen do what the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and his messengers tell you to do, or you will get sick, die and go to hell. In graduate school, I lived with my godmother, who is a Buddhist and goes through the rituals of lighting incense and reciting mantras every day. Our apartment smelled and sounded like a temple in the mornings and evenings, but a flower shop the rest of the day (we had lots of beautiful, fresh cut flowers almost all the time). Because it was the family activity, I kind of went through the motions too. I tried to believe, but in the end I wasn’t sure I did. I wanted to find out more for myself.比較私人的宗教信仰話題,我媽媽的信仰是道教和佛教,跟大部分台灣人一樣,她還蠻虔誠的。我爸爸說,沒什麼不好,所以拜拜的時候也跟著拜。我從小就是大人做什麼,我也跟著做,對我來說,其實都是形式,因為什麼都不懂,加上不跟著做,應該又被打吧。我只記得好多祖先,好多神明,認識的,不認識的,有關係的,沒關係的,都要拜,然後有好多宗教活動要參加。中學的時候,我讀的是一間天主教學校。在我腦海中留下的印象是,不信耶穌父子聖靈,你就會病死下地獄。研究所的時候,我住在我乾媽家,她是一位虔誠的佛教徒,每天早晚燒香,誦經。以味道來說,我們家早晚像寺廟,其餘時候像花店(家裡幾乎什麼時候都有漂亮的鮮花)。因為有點像是家庭活動,所以我也就跟著燒香,誦經。Maybe I have a “I’m lost” face, because once in a while, someone from some religion would try to come save me by shoving their religion down my throat. That always makes me want to vomit all over their shoes. I’ve met a lot of crazy ones who are so caught up in the rituals and written words that they don’t bother to learn or to think about the spirit of the original teaching.可能我長得很像一隻迷了路的羊,因為有時候會有不同宗教團體的人出現,想「幫」我,於是硬要把他們宗教信仰塞進我腦裡。結果都會是覺得噁心,想吐,而且吐在他們鞋子上。我碰過很多陷入迷信,只故著形式,儀式,不去思考道理的人,這種好恐怖。In my late 20’s I started becoming interested in learning about Buddhism because it seemed more open minded and peaceful than some of the other religions I’ve encountered. I’m not a Buddhist, and perhaps I may never be one, but learning about its origins and its ideology has been interesting. I’m not big on mantras or on worshipping anything or anyone, but I particularly like how Buddhism teaches you to through meditation, face inevitable negative emotions and physical suffering. You try to understand it, accept it, and let it go. It’s been helpful.接近30歲的時候,我開始想要認識佛教,因為比起其他我碰到的宗教,感覺佛教思想比較開放,也比較和諧。我不是佛教徒,或許永遠不會是,不過認識這宗教的由來還有道理還蠻有趣的。我對誦經,祭拜不太有興趣,不過我還蠻喜歡這宗教教導的一些道理和方法,包括如何透過冥想去了解,接受,放下,面對負面情緒,生老病死的過程。目前還蠻有用的。——————————Links 連結:Buddha Memorial Center 佛陀紀念館 http://www.fgsbmc.org.twTaiwan Tourism Shuttle Dashu Line 台灣好行大樹線 http://www.taiwantrip.com.tw/Besttour/Info/?id=44San He Tile Kiln 三和瓦窯 http://www.sanhetk.com.twKaohsiung Howard Plaza Hotel 高雄福華飯店 http://kaohsiung.howard-hotels.com.tw——————————Accessories 配件:Shirt: kotipesä http://www.kotipesa.comWatch: Martian摩絢錶 http://www.martianwatches.com.twShoes: RucolineHat: Beams

Transcript 文字稿:


To achieve peace, some people prepare for war and some for transcendence. Let’s explore the latter today. I want to show you Fo Guang Shan’s Buddha Memorial Center, where people don’t go to pray, but go to get to know about Buddhism.為了世界和平,有些人選擇打仗。為了心靈平安,有些人選擇看透生命,超越煩惱而得到解脫。今天我想帶大家到佛光山佛陀紀念館,這裡不是個拜佛的場所,是個認識佛教的地方。


The Buddha Memorial Center is in Dashu, Kaohsiung. So we’re going to take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle, Dashu Line. An good way to do it would be to take the Kaohsiung MRT to Dadong Station and get on the shuttle from there. Right now we’re at Dadong here and we’re going to take the shuttle down to here, the Buddha Memorial Center.佛陀紀念館位於高雄大樹區,所以我們要搭台灣好行大樹祈福線。從高雄捷運大東站轉好行巴士是個好方法。我們現在在捷運大東站,然後要搭好行巴士到佛陀紀念館站。


You can buy a day pass for the Dashu line on the bus for NT$30, an unbelievable price.大樹祈福線還有一日券,在車上購買,才30元,有夠便宜。


This is the Buddha Memorial Center, and it’s free to get in, I usually try to donate what I can at these places, because donations help keep the doors open.佛陀紀念館不需要門票,不過到這種免門票的地方,我會盡量樂捐一下,幫一點忙。


The memorial center is quite spacious, so be prepared to walk. This is called a memorial center, but perhaps the most interesting bit is the museum, that thing back there. And on both sides of the path to the museum, there are these Chinese pagodas. They are a traditional type of architecture, not made for people to live in, but for people to worship in.整個紀念館其實蠻大的,所以要有多走幾步路的心理準備喔。這裡雖然是叫做「紀念館」,不過最有趣的地方是它的「博物館」。現在兩旁的這幾寶座塔是一種中國傳統建築,裡面不住人,通常都是讓人拜拜的地方。


Buddhism is based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha, also known as the Buddha, who lived between the 4th to 6th century BCE. He was born Siddhartha Gautama, a prince, and was said would become either a great king or a great monk. His father the king was worried that his son would end up the latter, so hid all forms of suffering from him. But one day when Siddhartha snuck out of the palace, he witnessed old age, sickness and death, things that saddened him and put him on the path to seek and later to share the way of enlightenment.佛教的思想主要是佛陀對於子弟的教導。西元前四到六世紀,一名叫做悉達多的王子出生時,有人說他不是成為偉大的國王,就是成為偉大的和尚。他的父親,就是當時的國王,很害怕兒子出家,因此把生命中所有的苦給藏了起來。不過有一天悉達多偷偷溜出城門,看見了人世間的生老病死。他感到很難過,於是決定尋找和分享超越生死與痛苦的方法。


This is the Buddha’s relic, one of his teeth. Some people come out here especially to see this.這是佛陀的牙舍利,有些人會專程來看這個。


The way I see Buddhism and the process of enlightenment is, you study and learn and understand. Twenty-six… And meditate to transcend and detach. There are several ways to meditate. Some do it by sitting quietly, some people by making repetitive motions like practicing kung fu at Shaolin Temple, some do it by making and drinking tea. Today I'm going to do it by transcribing sutra.我對佛教和超越生死的理解是,多學習,多了解,多冥想,讓自己解脫。冥想有幾種不同的方法,有些人打坐,有些人,像少林寺的和尚就是練功夫,有些人透過茶道,今天呢,我們要抄經冥想。


I have a hard time writing Chinese, but they make it easier here for you by giving you these very, very short verses to trace. They say transcribing helps you meditate, it gives you merit, and to me, I’m learning how to write Chinese. So I guess this is killing three birds with one stone. Well, maybe not killing. Catching three birds with one stone.
我不太會寫中文,不過他們很貼心的為大家準備可以描寫的一句短短的經文。據說抄經可以冥想,可以累積功德,我也可以邊練習中文,所以這可以說是一石三鳥嗎?不對,我們不應該殺生。


On the way back to downtown Kaohsiung, if you still have a little bit of time left, you can stop by the Old Railroad Bridge Wetlands. It’s kind of pretty there, and theres a really old tile factory next to it that is quite cool. There’s a bit of DIY to do there too.回高雄市區的路上,可以到舊鐵橋溼地玩一下,這裡蠻漂亮的,旁邊還有一間很酷的老瓦窯。這裡有DIY可以玩喔~


Some of the kilns are still fired by wood, and the combination of shadow and light from fire and from the sun makes this place wonderful for taking pictures. But in addition to tiles, they also make everyday items for the home.這裡有一些窯還是燒柴的呢。這裡的火光,陽光,還有陰影非常漂亮,很適合拍照。除了建材,他們還有一些很不錯的家用產品喔~


These coasters with traditional Chinese motifs, I’ve seen them in design shops and department stores. And this is a soap dish in the shape of a washboard, that’s another two birds with one…nevermind. It’s DIY time! To me, working with my hands is a form of meditation too.這些中國風的陶瓷杯墊蠻酷的。我在一些重視設計的店,還有百貨公司有看過。這是一個洗衣版造型的皂盤,又是一石兩...沒事。來DIY囉!對我來說,用手做東西也是一種冥想的方法。


If you don’t count location scouting, this is my first time in Dashu and in the Buddha Memorial Center. And I'm really happy that we got to make this trip because I’ve always been curious about Buddhism. This time, I learned a little bit about the religion, about meditation, achieving inner peace and facing my fears. So I think it’s been quite educational. I’m really happy. You should come.不算勘景的話,這是我第一次來大樹和佛陀紀念館。我很開心有機會來這裡,因為我一直對佛教很好奇。這一次的旅行,我學到了關於佛教的一些理念,冥想,如何達到內心的平靜,還有面對我的恐懼。這次收穫很多。我很滿意。大家要來喔!

Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記:
On this trip, we visited the Buddha Memorial Center and San He, an old tile factory. I really enjoyed the museum because I learned a lot about Buddhism, which is something I’ve been curious about, and also had fun at San He Kiln, which has giant kilns that you can walk into, and watch the craftsmen work with the tiles and kilns up close. They have a variety of DIY courses there, and I really enjoyed making a ceramic soap dish that I converted into an ashtray at the request of my partner and good friend Charles. The old railroad bridge was kinda cool, but I wish they left the original rustic, oxidized color instead of painting it grey. Now it just looks dirty and dusty. If you are big on trains and photography, the old railroad bridge and the marsh area by it make some nice pictures at sunrise and at sunset.這一次的旅行,我們到了佛陀紀念館和三和瓦窯。我覺得佛陀紀念館特別有趣,因為我學到很多關於佛教的東西。我一直對佛教很好奇。三和瓦窯也很好玩,因為裡面有好大的窯可以進去參觀,也可以近距離看師傅們工作。三和瓦窯有好幾個DIY活動可以做,我們選擇了皂盤,不過在我的好搭和好朋友柏勳哥的要求下,我把它改成了煙灰缸。舊鐵橋也蠻酷的,但漆得灰灰的,好像有點可惜,如果保留原本氧化的顏色,搞不好還很復古,但現在看起來就只有一個髒髒的感覺。你如果喜歡火車,喜歡拍照,舊鐵橋和溼地在清晨和落日的時候,拍起來特別美。


We stayed at Howard Plaza Kaohsiung, which has lots of noisy tourists, but the rooms are very quiet and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet is good. It’s an old hotel, but the service is good and you feel the effort they are putting into making the place better. I like that.我們住高雄福華,這裡房客的嗓門還蠻大的,但房間安靜,舒適,早餐也好吃。飯店很老了,不過服務不錯,也感受得到他們認真的在更新。我喜歡這種感覺。
On a more personal note, my mom practices Taoism and Buddhism (as do most other people in Taiwan), my dad follows along because he says it doesn’t hurt to, and from when I was little, I kind of just went through the motions. I didn't have much of an understanding of anything, just that there seemed to be lots of beings to pray to, from ancestors to gods, and lots of festivities throughout the year, honoring both the dead and the immortals. In junior high school, I attended a Catholic school and the impression that this religion left me was, you listen do what the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and his messengers tell you to do, or you will get sick, die and go to hell. In graduate school, I lived with my godmother, who is a Buddhist and goes through the rituals of lighting incense and reciting mantras every day. Our apartment smelled and sounded like a temple in the mornings and evenings, but a flower shop the rest of the day (we had lots of beautiful, fresh cut flowers almost all the time). Because it was the family activity, I kind of went through the motions too. I tried to believe, but in the end I wasn’t sure I did. I wanted to find out more for myself.

Maybe I have a “I’m lost” face, because once in a while, someone from some religion would try to come save me by shoving their religion down my throat. That always makes me want to vomit all over their shoes. I’ve met a lot of crazy ones who are so caught up in the rituals and written words that they don’t bother to learn or to think about the spirit of the original teaching.可能我長得很像一隻迷了路的羊,因為有時候會有不同宗教團體的人出現,想「幫」我,於是硬要把他們宗教信仰塞進我腦裡。結果都會是覺得噁心,想吐,而且吐在他們鞋子上。我碰過很多陷入迷信,只故著形式,儀式,不去思考道理的人,這種好恐怖。

In my late 20’s I started becoming interested in learning about Buddhism because it seemed more open minded and peaceful than some of the other religions I’ve encountered. I’m not a Buddhist, and perhaps I may never be one, but learning about its origins and its ideology has been interesting. I’m not big on mantras or on worshipping anything or anyone, but I particularly like how Buddhism teaches you to through meditation, face inevitable negative emotions and physical suffering. You try to understand it, accept it, and let it go. It’s been helpful.接近30歲的時候,我開始想要認識佛教,因為比起其他我碰到的宗教,感覺佛教思想比較開放,也比較和諧。我不是佛教徒,或許永遠不會是,不過認識這宗教的由來還有道理還蠻有趣的。我對誦經,祭拜不太有興趣,不過我還蠻喜歡這宗教教導的一些道理和方法,包括如何透過冥想去了解,接受,放下,面對負面情緒,生老病死的過程。目前還蠻有用的。

We got on the red line bus at Tainan train station and got off at Hayashi, which was about two stops down. Because it was so close, the bus fare was free, but you do need to tag on and off the bus with an Easycard or iPass.Hayashi’s a pretty place with history and design. The building really stands out in the midst of other structures in the area. Because it’s restored and from a different period, one long ago and when people were spending money to enjoy themselves, there’s a classy feel to it.In terms of historical artifacts, a couple of cabinets from when it first opened is now being used again, the old elevator door, machine gun posts, etc are on display by the cafe upstairs. Bullet holes from air raids during WWII, and the Japanese shrine and torii are left for you to look at on the roof.So what can you empty your pockets on when you go? For starters, right before you go into the department store, there is a Japanese tea/ice-cream take-out shop. Cedric’s green tea ice-cream is from there. It looked really good and I really wanted one but our director Charles said, “No, Cedric gets the ice-cream.” Whaaaaat? Anyway, on the first floor are mostly dried foods and sauces from around Taiwan, most of them quite tasty and have a long shelf life. Upstairs you’ll find bags, clothing and items for I think the 20-35 years old crowd. Lots of items made from canvas, lots of products heavy on industrial design, some handcrafted everyday items. A lot of the things are really fun to play with and look at. It felt like shopping at Eslite. I bought a hat for myself. They said it was made of “antique fabric,” which sounded really cool at first, but I realized it’s just a fancy word for “old and unused,” and I think too many hands had touched and played with it because it was starting to get a little soft at the top. But it was the last one and I liked it, so I still ended up bringing it home. Overall, Hayashi is a great place to find gifts for young people with an eye for design.You should come!這一集台灣好好玩特別節目,我和我的好朋友周雅立去了台南林百貨。我們從台南火車站上車,林百貨下車,因為才兩站,車資免費!不過還是要刷上和刷下,一卡通和悠遊卡都可以~林百貨是個有歷史和設計的地方,它在其他附近的建築當中非常亮眼。我覺得因為被修復過,而且是在一個景氣好,很多人都願意花錢的時候蓋的,跟其他比起來,林百貨的設計特別典雅。歷史文物方面,當初使用的展示櫃,現在還有兩個在現場。另外在咖啡廳旁還有以前的電梯門,機關槍機座等等可以看一下。頂樓可以看到第二次世界大戰空襲時留下的彈孔,還有當初日本經營者蓋的神社和鳥居。來到這裡可以如何花錢呢?還沒進到裡面就有間日式茶舖,雅立的抹茶冰淇淋就是在那裡買的。我也很想要吃,但我們導演柏勳哥說不行,只有雅立可以吃。為什麼~~~~~ 接著進到裡面,一樓有很多台灣各地的食品,醬料,很多都很好吃,好保存。樓上有很多服飾,配件,感覺是大概20-35歲之間的消費者喜歡的東西。帆布和文創產品特別多,也有很多手工產品。有些東西蠻好玩的,感覺在逛誠品。我自己買了頂帽子,據說是古董布。一開始覺得很酷,古董布耶~ 後來想一想,不就是放了很久的布料?然後感覺被大家玩了有一點點爛爛的,不過那是最後一頂了,沒有別的了,所以還是把它買回家。我覺得要找禮物,去林百貨就對了。大家要來喔!——————————Links 連結:Hayashi Department Store 林百貨 http://www.hayashi.com.twRed Line bus 紅線公車 http://citybus.tainan.gov.tw/zh/knowledge/10.html——————————Accessories 配件:Shirt: kotipesä http://kotipesa.comWatch: Martian摩絢錶 http://www.martianwatches.com.twShoes: RucolineHat: Beams

C: Yeah. Let’s ride the elevator! Let’s ride the elevator!
耶。我們去搭電梯!我們去搭電梯!

M: Forever young.
赤子之心。

C: Yes. Get out of the way.
對啊。走開啦!

C: Eighty-five years ago was the Japanese occupation, right?
85年前,那就是日治時代囉?

M: Yeah.
對啊。

C: No wonder this place has a Japanese-European feel to it. But has this place been open all this time? I’ve never heard of it before coming here today.
難怪這裡給人又日式又歐式的感覺。這85年都一直有在營業嗎?我之前都沒聽過。

M: Me either.
我也沒有。

C: Oh come on.
沒有才怪。
C: Shall we?
走吧?

M: Yeah, let’s go up this way. This is one of the machine gun posts.
我們往上走。這是其中一個機關槍座。

C: The same as what we saw downstairs.
跟樓下那個一樣。

M: Yeah. Pretty cool, huh?
對啊,酷吧?

C: You can see the bullet holes.
還有彈孔耶。

M: There are some bullet holes, really obvious bullet holes, but a lot of the tiles came apart.
一些彈孔非常明顯,不過很多的磁磚都被炸碎了。

C: Ah yeah that’s the shrine here.
那個是神社。

M: And that’s another machine gun post. That wasn’t there before the war.
裡面還有一個機關槍座。戰後才裝的。

C: You know Michella, I’m really glad they restored this building and reopened Hayashi Department Store. It would have really been a shame to just let it die.
米雪拉,妳知道嗎,我很開心林百貨被修復,重新開幕。直接讓它走入歷史,實在太可惜了。

M: I agree, I’m quite happy about it reopening too. And the shopping inside - I really enjoyed that.
對啊,我也很開心它重新開幕了。裡面的商場,我也覺得很棒。

C: The new hat suits you well.
我喜歡妳的新帽子喔~

M: Thanks.
謝謝~

C: You know what? I’m really looking forward to coming back here again, and hopefully discovering more old buildings brought back to life.
其實啊,我蠻期待下次再來的時候,希望可以看到更多像這樣起死回生,被注入新生命的地方。

So you should come!
所以大家要來喔。

In this special episode, my buddy Cedric Jouarie and I visited Tainan’s Hayashi Department Store. We got on the red line bus at Tainan train station and got off at Hayashi, which was about two stops down. Because it was so close, the bus fare was free, but you do need to tag on and off the bus with an Easycard or iPass.

Hayashi’s a pretty place with history and design. The building really stands out in the midst of other structures in the area. Because it’s restored and from a different period, one long ago and when people were spending money to enjoy themselves, there’s a classy feel to it.

In terms of historical artifacts, a couple of cabinets from when it first opened is now being used again, the old elevator door, machine gun posts, etc are on display by the cafe upstairs. Bullet holes from air raids during WWII, and the Japanese shrine and torii are left for you to look at on the roof.

So what can you empty your pockets on when you go? For starters, right before you go into the department store, there is a Japanese tea/ice-cream take-out shop. Cedric’s green tea ice-cream is from there. It looked really good and I really wanted one but our director Charles said, “No, Cedric gets the ice-cream.” Whaaaaat? Anyway, on the first floor are mostly dried foods and sauces from around Taiwan, most of them quite tasty and have a long shelf life. Upstairs you’ll find bags, clothing and items for I think the 20-35 years old crowd. Lots of items made from canvas, lots of products heavy on industrial design, some handcrafted everyday items. A lot of the things are really fun to play with and look at. It felt like shopping at Eslite. I bought a hat for myself. They said it was made of “antique fabric,” which sounded really cool at first, but I realized it’s just a fancy word for “old and unused,” and I think too many hands had touched and played with it because it was starting to get a little soft at the top. But it was the last one and I liked it, so I still ended up bringing it home. Overall, Hayashi is a great place to find gifts for young people with an eye for design.

You should come!

這一集台灣好好玩特別節目,我和我的好朋友周雅立去了台南林百貨。我們從台南火車站上車,林百貨下車,因為才兩站,車資免費!不過還是要刷上和刷下,一卡通和悠遊卡都可以~

林百貨是個有歷史和設計的地方,它在其他附近的建築當中非常亮眼。我覺得因為被修復過,而且是在一個景氣好,很多人都願意花錢的時候蓋的,跟其他比起來,林百貨的設計特別典雅。

歷史文物方面,當初使用的展示櫃,現在還有兩個在現場。另外在咖啡廳旁還有以前的電梯門,機關槍機座等等可以看一下。頂樓可以看到第二次世界大戰空襲時留下的彈孔,還有當初日本經營者蓋的神社和鳥居。

來到這裡可以如何花錢呢?還沒進到裡面就有間日式茶舖,雅立的抹茶冰淇淋就是在那裡買的。我也很想要吃,但我們導演柏勳哥說不行,只有雅立可以吃。為什麼~~~~~ 接著進到裡面,一樓有很多台灣各地的食品,醬料,很多都很好吃,好保存。樓上有很多服飾,配件,感覺是大概20-35歲之間的消費者喜歡的東西。帆布和文創產品特別多,也有很多手工產品。有些東西蠻好玩的,感覺在逛誠品。我自己買了頂帽子,據說是古董布。一開始覺得很酷,古董布耶~ 後來想一想,不就是放了很久的布料?然後感覺被大家玩了有一點點爛爛的,不過那是最後一頂了,沒有別的了,所以還是把它買回家。我覺得要找禮物,去林百貨就對了。

大家要來喔!
