il Giardino Romantico

前年，第一次嘗試著將自己拍出來的照片製作成明信片。因為自認成果還不錯，所以還有開放販售。雖然購買的幾乎都是身邊的親朋好友而已，每售出一份既是對天仙的肯定。那年的明信片（看舊文：親愛的我把倫敦熊變成明信片了）分兩種主題：英國和台灣。台灣景色的我把它寄送給國外的友人，讓它們認識台灣。倫敦熊遊英國主要是給喜歡倫敦熊的朋友們收藏。還有幾張隱藏版的，是專門製作出來寄送給當年在英國曾經收留過天仙的好心人。去年因為沒有特別拍到一些好看的照片，也因為一些私人因素就整個錯過了製作明信片的時機。今年由於恰好在Facebook上看到廠商的offer所以決定換家廠商做看看。加上去花蓮與墾丁時友人熱心贊助的單眼相機覺得應該還有幾張是可以製作成明信片的吧！才會有這一批貨的出現。

The first time I made customized postcards was in 2010. I was quite happy with the result, so also allowed friends to purchase their own sets to keep. Although only some friends bought the postcards, each and every set sold was a big encouragement to me. That year, the main theme included scenes in the UK and around Taiwan. The ones of Taiwan were made to send to friend abroad. The ones with London Paddy in the UK were made for people who think he's cute. I also made a unique set for the lovely couple that took me in while I was there in the UK. Last year, I missed the timing for making these cards. I think I may have intentionally missed it, as I didn't have any nice photos with which I could make them. This year, I saw an offer on Facebook, so I took it, and decided to try it out with another company. In addition, this year, I had the opportunity of playing around with the 50D of a friend of mine's. I thought the result would turn out even better! 

2012年三月，倫敦熊與主人天仙決定來一趟前所未有的（偽）環島旅遊。台北出發，經北迴線往花蓮停留兩個晚上，再經南迴線抵達台灣最南端的墾丁。最後再用最快的高鐵回到終點（出發點）台北。五天的行程，沒有親友的陪伴，只有自己以及倫敦熊，在這熟悉的國度卻陌生的地方，展開一趟重新找到自我的重要旅程。雖然你可能不相信，但在此之前，花蓮跟墾丁，天仙真的從未到過。因此與倫敦熊現在正式揭開全新臺灣遊記系列：倫敦熊與天仙的花蓮＆墾丁逍遙遊。

In the spring of 2012, London Paddy and I decided to go on a unprecedented tour (almost) around the island. The train would take us around the northern east coast to Hualien, where we would stay for two night, then down south, to the southern-most tip of the island - Kenting. Afterwards, we'll take the fastest train - THSR to return to our final destination, and our starting point - Taipei. For five whole days, with no family or friends, just me and London Paddy, we wandered in unfamiliar territories in our own homeland. It was a journey that aimed for a new enlightenment of the self. It may be hard to believe, but this was the first time for me to visit Hualien and Kenting. Thus London Paddy and I now officially present to you the new series of travel articles of these two gorgeous places in Taiwan!

倫敦熊好久沒出來曬太陽了！經過幾次不小心被我遺忘之後，這次終於記得要帶他一起出門了！還好，老天爺算賞臉，這天太陽超大，超熱的！倫敦熊非常懷念南國的熱情呢！

It'd been a long time since London Paddy's out in the sun! I'd been forgetting to bring him along with me, but this time, I finally remembered! The weather was gloriuos today! Extremely hot! London Paddy misses the passionate weather of the south!

咦？這裡是荷蘭嗎？主人帶我出國來到荷蘭了？

Have I been brought to Holland? Where am I?

這是我第二次來到安平。第一次就很喜歡這個地方。過年期間與家人來這裡閒晃，順便把倫敦熊帶出來曬曬太陽。不然悶在台北他都已經快發霉了呢！

This is my second time in Anping. I really liked the place during my first visit. This time, I had the opportunity to revisit the place with my family. I also took the chance to take London Paddy out for some sunshine. I think he's about to get all moldy! 

出發囉！Let's go! 

2012年據說是世界末日。所以天仙要帶著倫敦熊玩遍台灣。雖然礙於工作，假期不多，但盡可能，有出去玩就會帶著她一起去囉！倫敦熊應該會很開心吧！

Many of my friends have ダンボー picture stories. Well, I don't have a ダンボー . But what I do have, is Paddington Bears! 

大家都有阿愣看圖說故事。不過我沒阿愣。我卻有柏柏熊。
