Japan & Taiwan Trip 2004 - Celebrating Backpacking 100 Days









Japan & Taiwan Trip 2004 – Celebrating Backpacking 100 days


這個32天的旅程,從東京、富士山之巔(3776m)、京都及大文字山健行、東京札幌overnight train之旅、札幌、稚內 (日本最北城市)、禮文島及禮文島8小時步道健行、宗谷岬 (日本最北點)、洞爺湖、小樽、台北、新竹、日月潭及貓蘭山健行、花蓮及太魯閣30公里健行。







這32天,我遊歷大城小村、翻越高山、穿越深谷、橫渡大海,多年後回想仍覺帶勁及自豪!自豪的不只是能有幸遊歷那些令人動容的地方,而是對那份堅持、信任(天主、聖母及所有遇到的人)、紀律、開放的態度及那份對Backpacking及探索世界的熱誠!

在札幌渡過
Backpacking的100天,是祝福,更是對1998年於”札幌旅行團之旅”萌芽的Backpacking念頭最好的回應!Japan & Taiwan Trip 2004更為以後的Rickie’s Backpacking 訂下了遊歷的準則!







Japan & Taiwan Trip 2004 不是終結,只是一個美麗的中途站,我會繼續努力,2009年下旬,鐵定,日本再見!









最後,送上無限感謝予Japan & Taiwan Trip 2004 中遇到的所有朋友,包括Ian、大友武、Chiaki、Mayummi、山本里美、陳忠宏及劉得民…因為您們,"though i am alone in my trips,I never feel lonely!”

Japan Trip 2009 - 昔日の英雄がいますか -富士山小姐 (Mt. Fuji)


自從
2004一會,一別已經5年了!富士山小姐,妳還好嗎?還惦記著我嗎?

富士山小姐,我知道,妳明瞭,我最喜歡的是妳!所以,妳也對我特別的眷戀,除了讓我親吻了妳的臉蛋,還送了我的第一次 - 第一次在巨山美人的頂峰上看到日出,妳的稱作御來光,很美!







 我們又要分別了,但別難過,stay positive,短暫的別離只為他日的重聚而已! 我還是會回來的看妳!

Belated Happy Birthday to L








Belated Happy Birthday to L


衷心祝福摰友L一個Belated Happy Birthday! 

昨晚突然看到案頭上的月曆,驚覺摰友L的生日已過了數天,不禁大叫 shit…. 立即send她一個SMS。

認識L已經是很久很久以前的事了,比我的Backpacking還要早! 每一年的Backpacking,她的芳名總會在我的“Souvenir List”上出現 。我只會買Souvenirs及/或寫Postcards予家人、好朋友,及該年對我的生活有“特別重大影響” 的人,這一“Souvenirs Buying Principle” 從未改變,亦不會改變!她曾說,遲早要在她的房間開闢一角放置我從世界各地所送予的 “souvenirs” 。我希望有這一天!




遺憾地,應該有一年半多的時間沒有見她。然而,我始終當她是我最要好的朋友!今年,Peru Trip,她的souvenir已經ready!明年,或是以後的每一年,她的souvenirs都會ready!

衷心祝福摰友L一個Belated Happy Birthday! 誠心祝願您生活愉快、諸事順利!天主 + 聖母,請保守她!

Euro Trip 2000 - The First Step!








Euro Trip 2000 - The First Step!

Back to those days and journeys which film camera was still used!

Now, I am going to show you one of the most classical series of my Backpacking Trips photos - the photos of my first Backpacking trip to Europe back to 2000!

You will find a very young (and a bit fat) looking Rickie with naive smile and equipped with simple equipment; “enjoy” childish but direct shooting angle of photos. Many many have changed, but one thing remains unchanged - 對Backpacking及探索世界的熱誠從未變!








The 1st Backpacking Trip, very simple, London, Paris, Manchester and Blackpool. The most interesting part is I have seen the football match in the Old Trafford Stadium, the 1st game (and was the home game) of the Man Utd for the Premier League 2000-2001! Yup, Beckham, Keane and Andy Cole were still there with Man Utd…..

But, really, 千里之行,始於足下!










Many thanks to my parents’ generous financial support. Many thanks to God + St. Mary who travelled with me (and, surely, they are still with me!) Many thanks to 朱仔醫生 who was with me for a few days within the trip and witnessed the born of a “traveller”!


And…

Many thanks to myself, Rickie, who was brave enough to take 1 step further and made your dream came true!



"How many roads a man must walk down before we can call him a man?"

I have no firm answer to this question. But now, I am proud to say out loudly, from 2000 to 2010, from London to Cusco, from a tourist to a traveller, I AM A MAN! And I can promise you, THE SHOW WILL GO ON!

God Bless! St. Mary, please walk with me!
