il Giardino Romantico

 

Ham and Sandwich are both names of places in the UK. The picture above is a coaster with a picture of a road sign that used to stand somewhere. It had to be taken down because too many tourists were stopping just to take a photo of it, to the point where traffic was badly affected. So thanks to these tourists, we can now only see the road sign on postcards and coasters... 

Ham 跟 Sandwich都是英國的地名。上圖中看到的圖片有個杯墊。杯墊中的照片是以前站立於某個地方的路牌。那個路牌現在已經被拆掉了。原因呢就是因為太多旅客來到這為了拍下這個有趣的路牌，停在路旁嚴重影響交通，後來就被拆除了。所以拜他們所賜，我們現在只能在明信片或是杯墊上看到這個路牌了！

Sandwich Barbican Gate 橋頭堡

This is a very quiet little town. Nothing much ever happens here it seems. This was my second visit here, and I still didn't see much people about. Not locals, nor tourists. 

這是個非常寧靜的小鎮。似乎一年四季都沒有什麼太大的事情會發生。雖然這已是我第二次拜訪，但我還是沒有看到許多人在外頭行走。當地人很少，遊客也很少。



But to me, it was exactly the fact that there were so few people about that attracted me to this town. 

但對我而言，人少反而是這裡更吸引我的因素。



Especially when the weather is as glorious as it was on this day! 

尤其是天氣像這天這樣這麼的燦爛！



It would be fun and interesting no matter what you see and where you go.

無論看到什麼或是去到了那兒都一樣很有趣、很好玩！



As a pleasant surprise, you might find an old church that holds old treasures of the town. 

或許你會找到一間蒐藏著這個小鎮老舊寶物的老教堂。
