my event @ big sight tokyo

終於開始design festa創意市集了，地點在日本人暱稱 '逼哭塞斗（Big Sight）'的展場。
ok, it's about time to turn it on! my stall @ Big Sight, O-daiba, Tokyo

和我的攤位初次見面的時候，只有一種傻眼的感覺，空蕩蕩的，只見地上貼著的攤位名稱，還有黃色膠布區分出來的範圍，就是我的空間。桌椅都是事先上網另外租好的，抵達攤位時，它們已經乖乖的放在那裡等我。
it's surprised me a lot while I saw my spot....... kinda empty!! I saw my booth# on the floor, and yet, the yellow tape marked what my area is, that's my space for two days. I've rent tables and fold chairs upfront via internet, so they were there when I arrived

現場有一些活動，搞笑的法老大叔犧牲色相的穿著內褲在宣傳他們的馬戲團之類的表演，老婆小孩都出動了，全家總動員。可惜我聽不懂日文。
there were some event's promotion.
this man play a role as pharaoh to promote their show, he's funny! his kids and wife were there to help him as well. we tried to have conversations but I don't understand japanese

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

展期只有兩天，2700個攤位，以為是國際活動，結果99.9%都是日本人，外國人的比例少得可憐。我的左右鄰居都是很友善的非英語族群的日本人，一句英文都不會說。參訪的民眾，有許多甚至連怎麼用'how much'也不懂。我很孤獨的佇立在我的攤位前和他們雞同鴨講，並強迫自己學了一句 'wa da si wa nihon-go wa ga li ma sen (我不會說日語)' 立即引來了日本人的笑容以及包容，因為這句日語拉近了我們的距離，他們願意停下來和我用我們可以理解的方式溝通。所以，語言永遠不是絕對的隔閡。
two days event, 2700 booths, I thought that's an international event, but the truth WAS NOT. 99.9% japanese, even I've tried my best to say hello with my friendly neighbor, their responses were in japanese........some people didn't know how to ask 'how much' in english. I stood at my spot fulling of loneliness....I push myself to learn a sentence in japanese: 'I don't speak japanese'.......... they smiled and approached me, finally we had conversation, without using language. Now I realize there is no barrier even though we speak different language

東京鐵塔夜景是這樣啊 night view of tokyo tower look like

密密麻麻的房子＋小小的鐵塔
我只是不斷的在這當中看到遠處的兩個摩天輪，
猜想那幾夜我在台場的飯店靠近哪個摩天輪？

plenty of buildings.....
the tower actually in not too huge as my imagination....
I saw two of Ferris wheels in a distance,
just thought about which one is nearest one from my hotel in O'Dai-Ba?

傍晚的森美術館 Tokyo sky - Mori hill in the evening

所謂的東京鐵塔，ok, 在六本木之丘那棟大樓我有看到。
52樓是瞭望台，與53樓的美術館之間可以不停的來回，只要不出館。
還好我有分梯進行拍攝，所以關於俯瞰東京一事，會有傍晚版與晚上版。
但說真的，東京鐵塔的迷人之處，我還在找尋之中。

shots on Mori art museum, Tokyo (森．美術館 / 六本木)
separated part: evening and night view. (I think I'm smart)
(one ticket for one stay only, the museum is located on 53rd floor, the view is located on 52nd floor)

百合海鷗號翅膀展開 get out of Yurikamome line

5/14天氣晴。這是出遊的絕對好心情。
我剛離開我的飯店，還在台場附近晃蕩，待會就要離開這個區域，前往我真正認定的東京了，即使行前我一點準備也沒有，但是冒險亂闖，總會得到意想不到的驚喜。

跳上百合海鷗號 (Yurikamome Line) 離開台場，在也堪稱大站的新橋 (shinbashi)下車，在該站為了買一日乘車券，不免又和熱心相助的站務人員進行一段不算短的面對面 + 對講機的雞同鴨講。簡單來說，後來我個人的釐清，與其為了購買每日1000日幣的一日乘車券，而陷入日本地鐵複雜且不同步的都營 (toei)、metro系統，不如直接將我朋友當初熱心提供的suica (類似 '悠遊卡' 的東西) 加值即可，而且一天下來在東京的乘車金額加總，不一定會超過1000日元。這是我扣除掉勢必昂貴的百合海鷗號後所想的比較單純的後果啦，精算者千萬別理我！（百合海鷗號往返東京，740日幣，買一日券也不會涵蓋到，因為經營系統不同）

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

解決了新橋的購票問題後，我直接步行至銀宿 (Ginza)，一個即使去過日本也從未去過的地方，不知道是小時候看漫畫還是什麼其他不小心根植的印象，一直以為銀座滿街都是穿和服的貴婦，來到這裡，時尚大街猶如紐約的第五大道，街上滿是 '現代人'，連陽光的光線都感覺很 '摩登'。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

在昂貴的銀座，不，應該是所有東京的精華商業地段，經常可以見到營業場所從一樓繁殖到十幾樓的奇特現象；內容從藝廊、概念店、咖啡館、餐廳、美容彩妝到按摩不等......，向來對高科技技術相當重視的日本，於是又為此製作了貼心的設計。

這是個設置在一樓的可觸控螢幕，當你點選熟悉的語言後，即可開始點選樓層介紹，點選後，視窗將出現每個樓層的詳細介紹，讓你不用碰運氣似的闖入不想闖的領域。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

這是個造型卡通的警察局，不知道為什麼？一看到它，我就想到日本漫畫家鳥山明。

肚子空空的抵達 first image while I finally arrived there

為了參加 Tokyo Design Festa, 一個位於台場國際展場（日本人暱稱該場地為 Big Sight）的大型創意市集，我扛著一大一小登機箱，前往久違的日本。

出關前遇到一位女性海關，要我打開我那重達25公斤的大箱子（從台灣出發，對行李的重量限制會視情況而定，沒有那麼嚴厲的20公斤限制），等我打開後，她看到那麼多不同規格的書套、本子，不禁疑惑我究竟來日本的目的為何。

「我要去 "Big Sight" 參加展覽」我用英文回答。

「Big Sight?」女性海關一臉疑惑，聽不懂這個地點所代表的意義，即使我明明記得每個東京人都知道那個暱稱。

愣了十秒後，海關突然語氣興奮的說：「oh~! Bi-gu Sai-do」

當場我就有了不祥的預感。

出關後，已將近晚間八點，發現駛往台場 (O-Dai-Ba) 的利木津巴士(Limousine Bus) 最後一班已於七點駛離........趕緊抹去頭上的三條線，尋求其他解決之道。幾經波折，最後的折衷方式，就是先搭Limousine到東京車站，再看是坐地鐵或是搭計程車到20分鐘車程外的台場。

for participating the exhibition of Tokyo Design Festa (the location has a nickname 'Big Sight' which is well-known by Japanese) I decided to go to Tokyo by myself.

Before getting in this country, a female immigrant officer asked me to open my large luggage and checked my stuff seriously. She wondered why I bought so many book covers this time.

'Well... I'm an exhibitor of the event of "Big Sight" ' I answered.

'Big Sight????' she didn't get it.

After her reflection, she suddenly got the point. 'oh~! Bi-gu Sai-do!!!!'

In the same moment, I felt something.....

Another thing was, I missed my last Limousine bus to 'O-Dai-Ba'.....so I had to take another bus to Tokyo station and transfer by train or taxi to my location

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

抵達東京車站已經將近晚間十點，溫度降了，我穿著夏天的衣服，在寒風中一手推著大箱，一手拉著小箱，在歐式地磚的不平路面上吃力的獨行著。

我餓了，身旁最明顯的建物只有它。裡面有餐廳，但都在四樓五樓，而且只看得到手扶梯，找不到電梯。算了！這店應該也快打烊了！放棄！

It was almost 10pm when I arrived to Tokyo station, the temperature was getting down, I wore just like summer dresses, was walking with my large and medium luggage, it was not a easy job...... and I was starving. I tried to go in the mall beside me tried to find some food, but I couldn't find any elevator and I thought it was almost closed, so I gave up and kept walking toward to the train station.

好不容易繼續推到地鐵站，因為現場施工中，有些混亂，一時找不到電梯。附近有警局，雞同鴨講一番，無法達成共識，加上已經和弟弟的日本學弟約在飯店領取他事先幫我預收的大型包裹，無法再拖拉，於是便跳上計程車。

豈料，這位和藹的老伯伯運將不會英文，還好他會說數字，總之，數字溝通完之後，就再也無法多說什麼，途中他一直想用緩慢的日語跟我交談，但真的很抱歉，我完全聽不懂，我也想用緩慢簡單的英語和他溝通，但完全無效。

於是，就在一陣靜默中，他把我載到台場了。

當我下車時，可愛的阿伯異常活潑，同時我終於聽懂了他的英日語，他說我看起來有日本人的膚色跟樣子，他認為我有一半日本血統，要我回去問父母。

The station was under construction, I couldn't fine any elevator, police officer around there couldn't really speak english, so I got in a cab.

the driver was a senior person with friendly look, he couldn't speak english either, but he knew how to discuss with number in english, that was great!

I jumped into the cab, the driver tried to slow down his japanese and talk to me, but I couldn't really understand him just as I tried to slow down my english.

so we kept silent, until he drove me to my hotel @ 'O-Dai-Ba', he finally spoke to me in poor english and excellent japanese. 'You must ask your parents if you had half-japanese...... cause your skin and your look is just like japanese.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

順利和初次見面的學弟碰面，他叫做Adam，他真是個好人！一趟路從品川 (Shinagawa) 坐計程車把貨交給我，還細心的將已經寄爛的箱子分裝在一個大登機箱、以及一個小推車上。

一切忙完後，當晚的晚餐，就是樓下24小時便利商店的微波咖哩飯。

Adam, my brother's friend who's working in Tokyo, brought my package which I sent it in advance before departure, he separated it into a large luggage and a small cart, came to my hotel from far far away 'Singnagawa' by taxi.

He really helped me a lot!!!!

after all schedule was done, I finally had my dinner, a microwave reheat food from 24h grocery store downstair my hotel room

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

日本飯店的迷你向來聞名，此次除了我帶去的兩個箱子外，又多了學弟的另一個大箱子，當夜我在房內展開所有的箱子整理貨品時，說真的，已經沒什麼空間可以走路了，連床鋪上都鋪滿了東西。

由於此次我的macbook出問題，無法上網，我一個人默默的做著該做的事，電視機內傳來陌生的語言，我無法有任何共鳴，認真做事到某個段落，我走到窗邊，看著不熟悉的景色，突然強烈的覺得......嗯，真是的，我竟然當真自己殺到日本來了！

一股莫名的興奮，就像喝了10瓶提神飲料一般！眼睛閃閃發亮不說，還有特殊音效陪襯！

期待明天的來臨，我一定要快快離開無聊的台場！！

inside my tiny hotel room, after all luggage was opened, I could barely walk through the doorway easily, definitely no enough space...... my laptop couldn't connect internet so all I can do was switch on the tv-set and kept working by myself. strange language filled in my room, I could hardly understand a simple word.

I stood aside the window, looked at the outside scene, Had no idea where was there then, but I was excited to admit something...... the crazy thing was I brought myself alone to Tokyo.

Sure, I have to get out of the boring area tomorrow, to the new place with a lot of new hope
