Bhutan 6 Dec 2016 @ 初涉篇

Bhutan 6 Dec 2016 @ 初涉篇

就发一张照片。这是刚离开机场,在车上拍的唯一一张照片。我问导游这条河叫什么,他说是Paro Chuu。接下来的车程,我就一直在观察四周的风景,感受喜马拉雅境内的美好,回想以前对不丹的各种想象,期待接下来六天的行程。

This is the only photo I took on my first road journey in Bhutan. I spent the rest of the time listening to the first introduction of Bhutan and concentrating on taking in every sight within my view, of this country that I have dreamt of travelling since many years ago.

Bhutan Dec 2016 @入境心情篇

Bhutan, a place I heard about when I was in Nepal in 2005, and a place I read about in 2006. That was the year when it was still a mystic country to many. Somehow, it took me a good 10 years before I step foot on this mystifying land, on a trip shorter than I had hoped for. But the timing is right and the mindset is right. Perhaps, this is an even better age to appreciate the world around me and the world outside my daily routine. The short length of the trip makes me cherish this experience all the more.

不丹,一个我很多年前就想去的国家。那个年龄的我,希望自己的旅游体验都比朋友的来得新奇。那是一个好胜好强的年龄。2006年,新加坡有个记者写了一篇散文,记录了不丹的神秘。那一年,还因为不丹立了新国王,所以世界媒体开始注意这个喜马拉雅小国。我记得2008年,刘嘉玲梁朝伟在那里完婚后就有很多人去那里旅行,我也就不屑跟众人一起俗。哈,好幼稚的一个想法。晚了10年,竟然在当年的"新"国王继位10周年大典之际来到了不丹做短暂的旅游。虽然比想象中晚了,但是想来,这样的年龄、此刻的心境、无争的心态、较丰富的人生经历更加适合到这里旅游,更加适合欣赏这里的美。世界在变,不丹也在变。此刻宁愿记录的还是这个地方的美丽。
