2016-2017 Episode 30 Southwest Coast Route/布袋濱海之旅(嘉義)
我現在在嘉義！I’m in Chiayi!
這裡有全世界最大的高跟鞋
This is where the world’s biggest high heels are!
這裡有全台灣最鮮美的蚵仔
And it’s also where Taiwan’s freshest oysters can be found!

嘉義縣的西南沿海，有一個叫做布袋的小鎮，開發的歷史雖然早在17世紀，但是這個漁村，至今仍然保持著相當純樸的面貌。
On Chiayi County’s western sea coast, there’s a small town called Budai,which first sprung up in the 1600s. Through the centuries, this fishing village has managed to retain its simple charm.
海邊這一塊塊的田，可不是用來種作物的，它生產的東西，當地人稱它為白金！
These fields along the ocean aren’t used to plant crops. Locals refer to the stuff produced here as “white gold!”
海邊的白金，其實就是海鹽，布袋曬鹽的歷史，已有兩百多年了，這種靠天吃飯的行業，終究還是敵不過機器，布袋的鹽田，在2001年劃下了句點。
This “white gold” is actually sea salt, which the people of Budai have been making under the sun for more than 200 years. But relying on the weather to make salt like this couldn’t beat out machines to do the same job, and Budai’s salt fields were forced out of business in 2001.
現在我要來挑戰一下挑鹽，訣竅就是把身體放鬆，不要一直去想肩膀會痛，我來試試看
Now I’m going to try carrying salt. The trick is to relax your body, and not to think about the pain in your shoulders…. Here I go!
所幸，在地方人士的努力下，布袋的鹽田又重新堆起鹽山，不僅如此，在旅遊觀光方面，還結合了文化及生態教育的體驗。
Luckily, the efforts of locals helped bring salt mountains back to the salt fields of Budai, this time as a tourist attraction combining exhibits on culture and ecological education.
好重，真的好重，我的天啊
Heavy,it’s too Heavy,man!
布袋是一個非常適合深度旅遊的地方，有一個玩家大力推薦的行程，就是去布袋漁港搭海上觀光巴士出海。
Budai is an ideal place for a more in-depth tour. One activity that comes highly recommended is taking a boat out to sea from the town’s fishing harbor.
現在我正搭著船，今天有一群學生與我同行，好期待哦，不知等會兒會看到些什麼？
I am on the board right now, today I’m Join the tour with students, I am so exciting about what I’m going to see later.
布袋附近的海域，水質乾淨、藻類豐富，能夠養殖出特別美味的蚵仔，透過專業的講解，我們在海上的大自然教室裡，學到很多新鮮的知識。
The waters off Budai are clean and rich in algae, perfect for raising large, delicious oysters. We’re learning all kinds of new things from the expert introductions provided on our seaborne classroom.
這裡是漁民的海上牧場，而全台灣最鮮美的蚵仔，就養在這些竹架子裡。
These are the aquatic pastures of Budai’s fishermen, who raise Taiwan’s freshest oysters in these bamboo pens.
緊接著，我們要登上好美寮自然生態保護區，這是此趟行程的重頭戲，這裡的一切，都是新奇且有趣的體驗
Our trip out to the wetlands of the Haomei Village Nature Reserve has been a huge thrill, with lots of new and interesting experiences
我身上穿的，是漁民用來挖文蛤的工具，然後在沙灘上像這樣耙，當耙到的時候，會聽到咔啦的聲音。
What I’m wearing is used as a tool by fishermen to dig up clams. Raking it through the sand like this, you know you’ve found one when it makes a sound like “ka-la.”
有專業的工具，只可惜今天不是我的日子，所以一無所獲，但我不放棄，我決定換個方式來試試看
Even with the right tools, it turns out today wasn’t my day, and I didn’t get any. But I’m not giving up, and I’ve decided to try out another method
我要繼續來挖文蛤，據說牠們會在沙面下5-10公分的位置，現在就來試挖看看！
Now I’m going to get some clams.They say you can find it’s at under the ground 5-10 centimetre.So let's try it
耶～我挖到一個了，牠是不是很漂亮？
Ya,I’m found one! Isn’t it pretty.
在布袋的海邊，還有一個話題性十足的景點，這座高跟鞋教堂，是一處台灣爆紅的打卡地標，在還沒開幕前就相當著名
Off the coast of Budai, there’s another much-talked-about spot, which is The Glass Shoe Church. It had become of Taiwan’s most popular picture spots, even before it was opened.
它真的非常～非常的漂亮
It’s really~ really pretty.
高跟鞋教堂雖有教堂之名，但是它並不是宗教場所，它是由鋼架和玻璃所拼組而成的裝置藝術，在2016年，曾經獲得金氏世界紀錄認證，成為全世界最大高跟鞋型建築物，因此吸引了超過300家的國外媒體爭相報導。
Though it’s called a church, it’s not really a religious venue, but just an art installation made out of glass mounted on a steel frame. In 2016, Guinness World Records named it the world’s largest high heel-shaped structure, an award that generated over 300 stories in the foreign media.
我們欣賞，從傳統到現代，布袋不同的美，有機會的話，你一定要親自來感受一下。我是林柏妤，享受在台灣的時光，我們下次見！
We’ve had a great time taking in the traditional and modern charm of Budai. If you have the chance, you should definitely come and see it for yourself.I am Poyu Lin, enjoy your time in Taiwan! Ciao～see you next time.
Walter是個沒膽的「廢中」，安於現狀卻毫無自信，連向自己心儀對象說句話也沒勇氣，只懂終日發白日夢，幻想自己是個超級英雄。一次機會下，他踏上了一次改變人生之旅，跳出了自己的Comfort Zone，世界原來很大，自己亦非一事無成。在這裡，他發現了自己天生的「滑板」才能沒有白費，也在此踏上單車，尋找那位神秘的攝影師。
每個人都總有幾部「All-time favourite」，那未必是一部佳作，卻因為情節與自己有極大共鳴而深深愛上。作為一個旅人，《發夢王大歷險》絕對是我的「All-time favourite」之一。還記得那一幕，Walter掙扎良久，終於決定踏上直昇機的一刻，播出David Bowie那首Major Tom，我已感動得淚水悄然掉下。
電影的結局很寫實，「出走」過後，Walter仍得面對失業問題，他得到的，卻是無價。
以冰島這麼一個美得帶點魔幻的國度，寫一個「出走」的故事，Ben Stiller的取景絕不比Chirstoper Nolan失色，踏足在自己最愛電影的場景之中，我腦海一片空白。
