<大禮大同之行>入侵民宅 Taroko trip: Invasion



我稱之為入侵民宅,因為屋主並不在家,不過外頭天氣狀況不好,我們實在也沒辦法,只好硬著頭皮試試看。運氣好的是,竟然發現門沒有關得很好,不費吹灰之力,我們便已經進入這座曾是教堂的小屋。
I call it “invasion”, because the owner of the house was not there. The weather condition was too terrible and we had no choice but tried to “break in”. Luckily, the door wasn’t locked well and we didn’t make too much effort to enter the used-to-be-church house.

進了屋裡,我著實嚇了一跳,雖然我並不預期在這樣的山中找到豪華宅院,不過屋內只有簡單的洗手台、爐火、曬衣架、小桌子和床板,我真的無法想像這樣的生活,不過在當下,全身溼透又累又餓的我們,腦中其實也沒法想太多,嚮導們簡簡單單準備了午餐,也成了珍饈,吃完午餐也顧不得形象,睡袋一鋪將就睡了起來,其實,人的生活,原來可以這麼簡單!
I was surprised by what I saw when I entered the house. Though I didn’t expect to find a luxurious villa in the mountains, but what I found in the house were a simple basin, a fireplace, hanger for clothes, a tiny little table, and a sleeping place. To be honest, I can’t really imagine living in that condition. But at that very moment we were totally wet, tired and hungry, and couldn’t really think too much. The guide prepared some simple lunch, which became gourmet in our hungry eyes. After lunch, I couldn’t really think of anything about “image”, I opened the sleeping bag, found my corner and fell asleep. Well… what can I say… Life can be really simple!
