為了做 MRI 提早上台北,反而空了一個週末沒事做,便臨時決定去陽明山走走,順便登登所謂台北市第一高峰的七星山看看,前一天晚上先跟室友借了旅遊書來翻翻,不過沒看到我想走的路線,後來又跟 saka 借了大台北的詳細地圖,最後決定從天母古道開始進攻。
Public Hot Spring For First Time
Last night, I went to a public hot spring for first time. A public hot spring means that one COULDN’T wear anything while he’s in the pool. Of course that boys and girls are separated. :p But this is not my first time ENTERING a public hot spring. I had seen somebody naked enjoying the hot spring when I went climbing Mount Ba-tong-guan, but that time, I still wore a swimming suit.
I rode on my motorcycle to Beitou and found quickly the Public Bathroom of Beitou Hot Spring, which my roommate recommended. The ticket price is 50 NTD.
Before I entered, there were about 10 people in it. Of course, I didn’t know them. So, I acted as not a new hand as I can, took off my clothes quickly, and jumped into the pool. There are two pools in the bathroom. One is hotter and the other is colder. But when I was ready, there’s only one available because some people were cleaning the other.
I didn’t feel any embarrassed when I was taking off my clothes or in the bathroom. As someone said, ‘There’s nothing worthy of being amazed, because everyone has it.‘ Exactly, everyone’s looked alike. XD
I dipped myself into the pool firstly, and when I felt too hot, went back to have a cold shower. I kept thinking when I was in, but all the images in my mind were monkeys in the water with their heads outside and look at each other. XD
The process proceeded three times, and after that, I felt a little dizziness and sat at the pool for a rest. After I felt better and had a simple shower, I put on my clothes and went home. Time passed about 1 hour while I was in there.
It’s still a special experience for me to be naked in front of others, but it’s not bad. Maybe I can try it more times in the future, and then I’ll enjoy the feeling of freedom, relax and feel comfortable just as my roommate.

Love Washing Hands
After going back home for Chinese New Year, I loved washing my hands when I went home from outside. So yesterday, I bought a soap box in the Shi-Pai Night Market. (I already had a piece of soap.) Hmm… from now on, I can have my hands washed easily if I feel they are dirty. ^^
Displaying Wretch’s Photos in Bloglines
Wretch sets a referer policy in order to deny connection from other sites. That really diminishes unnecessary traffic for them, but it’ll make us inconvenient to use a blog aggregator, such as Bloglines, to browse the blogs powered by Wretch.
Someone supplied a method: use a firefox extension called RefControl and set a customized referer with the Bloglines site.
It really works. Haha… since now, I don’t need to click the link of the Wretch blogs additionally. ^^

Forgot My Pants
Oh… I came back to my dormitory forgetting to bring my pants yesterday. I told my mom that I should have forgotten something while we were hurrying to the bus station. And it really happened! >_<

Harry Potter 4: Novel vs. Movie
I eventually had read through Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (ISBN: 0747550999) a few days ago, (Hu… it took me about half of the winter vacation…), and on the same day, I also saw the movie. I remembered the story so clearly when I was seeing the movie. Although it may be a bit boring if I saw the movie just after reading through the novel, I can obviously find the deficiency in the movie.
Going Mad With Voip Phone
Since I found VoipStunt, which can make free regular landline calls, I always used it. But just now, I was going mad with it. I called the Payroll Section of NCKU for checking the record of my brother‘s tuition. Firstly, I cautiously used Skype to avoid the delay problem, but it always told me it couldn’t switch to the extension. After several tries, I gave it up and used the VoipStunt. That’s when nightmare began.
It switched to the extension correctly, but the other side seemed unable to hear my voice. I tried to shout more loudly, and then she found the delay problem and was very confused. Finally, we finished the conversation with impatience.
How can these voip softwares suck like that!? Skype can’t make a switch, and VoipStunt has delays. Hu… they almostly spoilt my good mood even when today just began. =.=凸
