咩原因

已經四天。已經在家附近碰見好幾位朋友...哈哈，嚇了她們一跳吧。

好些朋友奇怪我怎麼比預期中早回來了。是的，我申請了一年的工作假期簽証，卻不過三個月多少少，就回來了(我是刻意要留多過三個月的，否則辛苦申請的working visa便好像沒用處了:p)。不是玩厭了，也不是已經看過了所有地方，事實上，我的確頗喜歡這次旅程，也認為紐西蘭是很適合人住的地方...尤其是留在riverside community的最後一個月......不過，比預期中早了回來，我也並沒有可惜的感覺。

回來，是旅程的一個不可或缺的部份。為了想念甚麼而回來，回來後又想念些甚麼。沒有辦法兩全其美，就只好從中選擇。可是能有想念的人，想念的地方，想念的生活，不也是值得慶幸的事嗎。喜歡想念的感覺，閉上眼就能看見，雖然也許會有點模糊，但如果你不是曾經擁有過，又如何想念得來呢。

臨離開riverside的時候，正好是月圓的幾天，而且天色明亮。我教了riverside的合唱團唱了一首歌:

明月幾時有，把酒問青天，
不知天上宮庭，今夕是何年?
我欲乘風歸去，惟恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒，
起舞弄清影，何似在人間?
轉珠閣，低綺戶，照無眠。
不應有恨，何事長向別時圓?
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。
但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

係呀，原來教外國人讀普通話，都幾難。尤其是j,q,x,z,c,s,zh,ch,sh的分別，他們讀的時候，我們都笑作一團呢。

it's so amazing that the people in riverside community are also willing to take a picture to support the lo sheng leprosy sanatorium in Taiwan~

after three weeks staying in the riverside community, i left last thursday and decided to go to one or more places in south island, before i go back to hong kong. people said that south island is beautiful, esp. the west coast. but i will not go there. i'm now in christchurch and i'll go to a lake nearby tomorrow.

however, i found that i'm not really interested in sight-seeing. after back to a city like here in christchurch, i found myself become an alien again...too many strangers on the road, too many shops, too many traffics. though christchurch is already a green and beautiful city. it seems to me that i don't really enjoy to be a 'tourist'.

today i went to a botanic garden in christchurch, and i found a 'vegetable garden' there. then i found how i missed the garden in the riverside, where i picked up the salad veg every morning and done a lot of weeding and planting....it looks like a messy and weedy garden, but when you spend more time you'll find many surprises there~~ someone already stayed two months there told me that he can still find new things in the garden...like raspberries...yumm...

anyway, i'm looking forward to go back to riverside again in this thursday. hoho~

and i'm looking forward to back to hong kong very soon~~
