閒遊墾丁 - 預備篇

即將放大假,無預備去旅行,諗住天氣噉熱,去邊都死...响屋企唞吓仲好...

點知,老公突然話請倒大假陪我,嘩!唔去旅行咪好嘥!

時間噉倉促,都知未必訂倒機票.... 所以target啲近嘅地方。

台北去過,可以去吓曼谷、沙巴要長啲時間.... 我哋得三四日....

突然,腦海出現『海角七號』.....



不如去墾丁囉!

上網睇咗啲資料,對墾丁有個初步嘅認識,果個地方喺無直航機去嘅,要响高雄轉機。

 跟住就立刻打電話問機票,打咗學聯、新華、東瀛遊問自遊行package,所有都不約而同話機位好緊,去程上晝得番幾個位,唔喺就要下晝;回程想禮拜日番香港簡直喺無可能!另外,就算有機位,酒店大部份已經full晒,同埋,因為within一個禮拜內起程,全部都要先「磅水」,仲要喺full payment先同你check房。

搵咗成日,最終好多間酒店都無房,同埋好貴 (4日3夜 $5400一個人!貴過去韓國!)。Package好多都唔包民宿,就算包果啲又full晒.....  東瀛遊仲好笑,話俾咗錢一個禮拜後先答倒我有無位。吓?我下個禮拜要飛囉喎!.....

總之,就極沮喪....

從來未試過咁倉促去旅行....  芬蘭果次喺半年前開始plan嫁...

就响我諗住放棄唔去之際,我問自己:「點解要join package?唔join唔得咩?」

Join package喺因為通常會平啲.... 但宜家都噉貴咯!

一於試吓全部嘢分開上網訂:機票check港龍、華信;酒店民宿check Hotel.com、Agoda....

機位時間同旅行社check的一樣,跟住我試吓用唔同日子唔同組合check,最終搵倒港龍早上8點去程、晚上9點回程,玩3日2夜,避開啲旺嘅日子,,兩人HK$4,806。

之後就搵酒店民宿,唔靚嘅酒店都好貴,要成千蚊一晚,激死人!

Tripadvisor唔錯,有好多民宿揀 (新華直程唔做民宿!)

可以揀嘅唔多,較出名的都無位....

最後揀咗兩間comment唔錯的.... 都唔可以連續兩日住,一日一間....

都好,可以試多啲,新鮮啲....

一間個名好得意,叫『二手童話』,連稅HK$852一晚

二手童話

一間普通啲,叫『墾丁海逸渡假旅店』,連稅HK$665一晚

墾丁海逸渡假旅店

用信用卡online俾錢就搞掂,print張hotel voucher攞房就得,超方便!

最終,一個人都喺HK$3,162,三日兩夜,算OK啦!

除咗去墾丁,回程9點幾機,果日仲可以去埋高雄市逛逛!


MISSION COMPLETED!!

我的夢想

小學時,老師成日要我哋寫我的志願,志願來來去去都喺果幾樣:男仔做消防員、警察;女仔做護士、老師...

人生既過程,喺不停噉了解自己,尋找真我.... 過程中會有迷失,例如,會跟隨大部份人認為啱既方向行,而忽略自己的想法同感受;或因為在意別人對你的評價而改變自己。

活咗幾十年既我,亦繼續不停了解自己...

成日以為自己既人生目標喺要搵多啲錢住大屋,但有啲物質既嘢到手之後,個人就會好空虛...

到近日發現,自己最想既,原來喺同自己最愛既人,去世界唔同既角落,開闊眼界。

完全唔洗豪嘆世界,住五星級酒店;我哋反而喜歡住旅舍(hostel),因為住旅舍要同人共用厠所廚房,响果道,你就有機會接觸唔同國籍既人,了解佢哋既文化。

其實响2011年既芬蘭之旅,我就開始了解自己呢個想法... 果次我哋大部份時間住旅舍,碰到俄羅斯人、澳洲人、瑞典人.... 同佢哋傾談吓,真喺幾得意!

『讀萬卷書不如行萬里路』

身為地球人,真喺應該了解多啲呢個世界!

雖然行咗萬里路之後不會為我帶來百萬既金錢,但對我來說,會令我人生無憾

How To Read a Wine Label


New World:

New World wine labels are pretty user friendly, offering consumers a few key pieces of wine buying information. The varietal is listed on the label, making for less guesswork than many Old World labels. The producer, varietal, vintage year, region where grapes are grown, and alcohol content typically appear on the front label. The back label sports the government warning, "According to the Surgeon General..." and the sulfite statement along with some witty wine wisdom and pairing preferences for the particular wine.

Alsace(FR):

Alsatian wine labels tend to be easier on the New World consumer, as they are the one French wine region that habitually states the wine’s grape varietal directly on the front label. These labels are a good place to start easing into Old World label decoding, because they provide a "hybrid" of Old World and New World labeling strategies. The detective work is significantly reduced as consumers conquer the label offerings in record time, but easy label deciphering aside, the majority of Alsatian Rieslings need little help in convincing consumers to give them a go. Alsace has an international reputation for producing tip top Rieslings at consumer-friendly price points - this particular Lucien Albrecht Riesling is no exception.


France:

It is from Burgundy (decoded by the phrase in the top right corner “Vin de Bourgogne,” meaning “Wine of Burgundy” in French). In Burgundy there are two main wines to know: Red Burgundy (Pinot Noir) and White Burgundy (Chardonnay). These two wines comprise the majority of the region’s wine, with Chablis, Gamay and some sparkling wines rounding out the rest of Burgundy’s wine offerings. This label represents a white wine from Burgundy, which we figure out from bottle and label clues. First, the bottle will have the sloped shoulder style that is typically found in white wines (and Pinot Noir) where there is no need for a sediment lip. You'll also be able to see that it is a white wine through the green glass, instead of red wine. Next, it's critical to take some time to get to know key appellations in the dominate wine regions of France. These appellations will tip you off on which grapes are likely in the bottle of wine. So for this particular label, we know that the region where the wine’s grapes were grown is Burgundy (via the top left corner of the label, designated "Vin de Bourgogne"). Next, the specific appellation in Burgundy is Macon-Villages (known for stellar white Burgundy wines, aka Chardonnay). The precise estate where the grapes are from is listed as "Domaine Champ de Brulee" (literally translated to “Burnt Field” – referring to the specific vineyard’s optimal sun exposure). The wine's producer is Vincent (an extension of the Chateau Fuisse Estate) and the bottling information is found at the bottom of the label. All in all, we know that this is a Chardonnay from Burgundy produced by JJ Vincent in 2003 with an alcohol content of 12.5%. Other terms that you may encounter on French wine labels include: "Blanc" - meaning "white"; "Cru" - typically meaning "vineyard"; "Grand Cru" - meaning "Great growth" designating a vineyard of exceptional reputation and quality; "Cuvee" - meaning "blend" of grapes or wines; "Domaine" - meaning "estate"; "Rouge" - meaning "red"

German: 

The vast majority of German wines are Rieslings, and for good reason. Germany has been setting the traditional standard for the Riesling grape for centuries. The German wine label includes the basic information found on most other labels: producer, region, vintage, vineyard, varietal, and the like, but they throw a curve when the ripeness levels, sugar levels and quality classifications also grace the label. The quality classification starts off with the basic table wine, "Tafelwein" and proceeds to a level 5 designation of "Qualitätsweine mit Prädikat" (QmP) - translated to "Quality wine with attributes." This is the quality classification of the featured wine label above. At this level 5 quality classification, the ripeness classification system kicks in to further designate who's who in the world of German Riesling. The ripeness classification system communicates when the grape was picked, so it's an indicator of initial grape sugar levels not final bottled residual sugar levels. The wines in ascending ripeness level order are as follows: Kabinett (least ripe, lightest style), Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA), and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA - a late harvest, Botrytis picking - most ripe, fullest body). There are also label residual sugar indicators to keep in mind: if the wine is dry, it is labeled as "Trocken"; "Halbtrocken" is off-dry and sweeter Rieslings are designated as "Beernauslese" (BA)and "Trockenbeerenauslese" (TBA).


Italy:

The primary pieces of information that Italian wines want to communicate to you, their celebrated consumer, are the wine's: Name, Growing Region (There are 37 designated wine growing regions in Italy), Grape Type (Italy has over 2,000!), Estate and Producer Names, Alcohol Content, Vintage Year and Classification (Vdt, IGT, DOC, DOCG - government appellation designations related to volume, location and quality). If you can grab these key pieces of information off of an Italian wine label then you are good to go.
