台湾一游 之 行程序幕

仔细一想,我与佩意已经好久没有好好地出国旅行了。自五年前的欧洲之游,最远的也只不过是邻国而已。

有人说:“钱是赚不完的,身体是累得跨的”。在工作岗位上奋斗了那么多年,虽然还是个打工仔,但也付出了不少汗血,所以决定给自己和意一点物质上的鼓励 — 环游台湾岛吧!

去台湾不是一个很难的决定,但行程的安排,确实有一点难倒了我这个懒人。想了一想,还是参加旅行团,省了麻烦的筹备功夫,拍拍屁股就可以上路了吧! 朋友于是给了一些意见,参加旅行团,必须要有因行程紧凑而疲惫的心理准备。鱼与熊掌,不可兼得。我们最终还是报名加入旅行团,但也选择在行程后再延长多两天,一来希望不会把疲惫的心情带回家,二来还可以在台北逍遥自在地逛一逛,一石二鸟呀!

十二月的十二号,就是我们出发的好日子!

Secondly, I have been wanting to assess if a game console like Xbox 360, can double up as a media extender for my home media network, which I had implemented 3 years ago. Having a rather space-constraining TV console, it means I can’t just add another console equipment without taking out existing ones.

So I procastinated, until  a week ago.
