Moses bridge 摩西橋 Jun 2016

17世紀就已經存在的摩西橋，原本是基於防禦工事而建造的一座隱形橋。摩西橋位於荷蘭南部，接近鹿特丹。

可以在Google 上尋找Moses bridge，依照導航可以找到。然後將車子停在路旁，就可以沿著小路找到。

詳細的介紹可以參照外國網站：

個人建議可以順路去走走。尤其天氣不錯的話，常常可以看到附近運動的民眾。

沒有陸客的台灣觀光

趁著暑假進行台灣西部小旅行。走過無數次這塊養育我長大的土地，這個暑假卻有些不同。還記得那個沒有陸客的年代，高級旅館以及平價旅社都不多。隨著中國經濟成長以及台灣開放陸客政策，旅館變多了，但是旅館行銷的對象都是陸客，尤其是中國團客，適合台灣家庭旅遊的旅館更少了。

2016年民進黨全面執政，陸客不再光顧台灣。終於我可以好好的跟家人進行台灣小旅行，也可以好整以暇地選擇旅館。在高雄福華飯店，夏夜徜徉屋頂的游泳池，觀賞高雄市的夜景。在台南的台邦商旅，國際化的早餐內容讓台客，日人，甚至中東來的旅客都有一天好的開始。不過嘉義的山海大飯店倒是讓我失望了。為了因應暴增的陸客，山海飯店從一館增建到二館，每次用餐總是人聲鼎沸。但是這樣的生意興隆是真的因為服務品質，還是因為暴增的陸客？從飯店房間的動線設計，浴室的擺設，餐廳的桌布等等，有許多的不盡合理之處都因為劇增的來客量而被忽略。

我還是熱愛台灣旅行，但是陸客養大的旅館真的不適合家庭旅遊。

Skiing, Karuizawa ski resort or Ryuoo ski park

Feb 8, 2016

It' self-fulfillment to learn skiing at the age of 40s. After practicing in the morning at Karuizawa, I am enjoying skiing now.

Now I could slide down mild slope, accelerate or decelerate at my own will. This small accomplishment brought me huge pleasure.

Karuizawa ski park is big and well-organized.

善光寺(ぜんこうじ)

It's easy to tell the importance of this temple by purely looking at the map of branches all over Japan.

The architecture is spectacular.

Ryuoo ski park

Could anyone enjoy skiing at his 40s? I would like to find out and spend 5 hours practicing at Ryuoo ski park.

Snow monkey

Feb 4, 2016

As one kind of manmmals, human seems to be different from other species.

Most people like onset, but it's really weird that so many humans looking at few monkeys enjoying spa. It's purely man-made attraction, but son many people buy in the idea. 

I am one of those poor guys walking 1.6 km in the freezing weather to see monkeys. But you could say that it's trip full of wonders.

上諏訪 (かみすわ) Kamisuwa

Feb 2, 2016

Today the outside weather is -1 degree. Probably I could see a frozen lake if I could stay longer since the temperature is becoming lower coming days. 

It takes 2.5 hours from Tokyo to Kamisuwa by JR railroad. Most people comes here to enjoy osen（おんせん）and the natural scene. Today you can still enjoy spa at this historical 片倉館(かたくらかん). 

Have you heard of fishing through a hole on the frozen lake? You could experience fishing on the icy water with 2000 yen per hour.  I join the fishing with other 15 persons. At the end of that hour, nobody fish anything.
