潜水装备篇

目前潛水經驗半百,還算是小白,但是深深感受到用自己裝備的必要性。雖然我認識的人當中就有超過100潛的經驗卻什麽裝備也沒有。

但就我自己的經驗而言,由於每次租借潛店的裝備,雖然配重都一樣,可是每次下水的頭1-2潛都還是在努力適應裝備中,調整中性浮力以及努力讓自己在後半段沒有氣的時候不會飛上水面。

而自從全装後,則再也沒有發生過這類情形,完全適應自己的裝備后,調節中性浮力也更加自如。

我也并不是頭腦一熱一次性就把裝備給買了,這期間也是經過了,輕裝再到全裝的過程。

在我最初考完Open Water的當下,就買了Suunto D4i。 由於深知電腦表的重要性,也希望自己的記錄都能夠被完整記錄下來(我很懶,從第一潛就沒有寫過潛水日志),所以在我的第一支fun dive就戴著自己的新手表下水。

潛水之台灣

説句實話,自潛水以來,從來沒有把台灣當成一個可以潛水的地點,我以爲和香港的西貢一樣。

以前的潛水首選一定是菲律賓、馬來西亞、泰國、Palau等等,這幾個國家都還沒有去打卡完,在香港的時候,同樣是坐飛機出去潛水,爲什麽要考慮台灣呢?

自從上次去墨寶看沙丁魚之後,由於疫情封鎖就再也沒有機會出去潛水了。

在台灣潛水,勝在方便,花費相對較低,雖然每支氣瓶的單位價格以及船潛的價格遠遠不如像泰國菲律賓那麽便宜,但是因爲不需要坐飛機,可潛水的頻率也相對稍微高一些。

在來台灣之前其實有略作功課,當時選中的是綠島。終於趁著2020年4月清明節的假期去綠島解了藍毒。

目前潛過的地方大約有: 綠島,東北角,墾丁,小琉球。 下一站希望再去墾丁以及蘭嶼。

潛水之菲律賓墨寶 – Philippines Moalboal

2019年9月,疫情爆發之前, 我找了個中秋節的空擋前往墨寶。

以前在朋友圈,時不時看到有人po壯觀的魚群,一直都很向往那種壯觀的畫面,我本人比較不愛拍微距特寫,喜歡廣角的畫面。曾經在菲律賓學習潛水fun dive時去巴黎卡薩(Balicasag) 看到過傑克風暴,可惜沒有拍下來。

聽説馬來西亞仙本那詩巴丹的海狼風暴特別壯觀,詩巴丹也一直都在我的必去清單當中。

只是因爲近的關係,四天四夜選擇了菲律賓墨寶,此次行程非常純粹,只在墨寶,其他地方都沒去。有些人會順便去Oslob看鯨鯊,可是礙於我畏懼舟車勞頓,打消了去Oslob的念頭。

説起墨寶潛水,對於diver來説,首先想到的必定是“沙丁魚風暴”,而事後我的感想也是墨寶除了沙丁魚風暴,沒有別的了。

在墨寶的五潛都是岸潛(3潛直接從潛店下潛,2潛坐車去其他潛點),總體來説感覺墨寶的水并不清澈,也許是我每次都挑在滿月時候去潛水的關係(上次去皮皮島就是滿月),而且伴隨著毛毛細雨以及一些風浪。總體的觀賞體驗並不佳。

但是大面積的沙丁魚群就已經值回票價了,24小時它們都在那。當天下潛3次,去看了沙丁魚風暴2次。 Continue reading

從香港搬家台灣

其實搬來台灣已經好一段時間了,“反送中”運動爆發前夕,也就是在最近的一篇文章更新之後就來到了台灣。來到台灣一切都既熟悉又新鮮,忙著到處走走看看,一晃就整整兩年了,感覺就像昨天。

的確,來台灣以後就再也沒再發文章,反正也沒人看^_^。

有趣的是,在退租那天我才得知我的上一個房東居然看了我的所有文章,莫名感動。。。 Continue reading

Saigon & Nha Trang

These months I’ve been getting so lazy to write down what I saw and what I felt in the trip.

The experience and the people you met are unique. Probably for most of the people, I may not have a chance to see them again in the rest of my life.

Saigon leaves remarkable impression to me, although the public transportation is not so convenient. As solo backpacker, hiring Grab Bike is a cheap and effective alternative option.

Here is the scene on the first night when I arrived Saigon. A friendly reminder, don’t buy any food in the street if there is no price. Ask price before ordering anything.

近来实在是太慵懒,每回旅行回来后,除了整理照片以外,再也不愿意给旅程做一些简短的记录,直到半年后.

每一次旅途的经历和遇见的人理论上都是唯一的, 也许大多数旅途中遇见的人, 这辈子可能都没有机会再次见到.

西贡(胡志明)给我留下了一个很不错的印象. 虽然交通不算便利, 但胜在有Grab Bike, 作为独行背包客, 也算是一种便宜且高效的替代出行选择.

由于住在第一郡, 市政中心附近, 当晚到达西贡安置好以后, 便到附近的广场溜达. 值得注意的是, 千万不要买当地的无价格牌的小吃, 我只点了几串油炸的肉串, 结果我吃完后被索要将近 30万越南盾.

中秋琉球“追风记”

I almost forgot to record this trip until the end of the year. I open the gallery of this trip from time to time. It was overall unforgettable experience but it still left with some regret.
这篇游记几乎是被遗忘了,一直拖到半年后,还是没有完成。受picasa api退役的影响,相册选照片遇到了非常大的麻烦。说回旅程,虽然总体并不是很顺,但也算是难忘。

I planned this trip one month before departure. I almost prepared nothing but some diving trips in Okinawa, coz I am so expecting to see the pure and gorgeous ocean in Okinawa.
是次旅程实际上是在出发前一个月才草草计划的,完全是由于看见朋友在Instagram上发的照片,冲着冲绳潜水去的。

The flight is not direct to Okinawa. I also planned to stay in Taiwan for a couple of days.
由于是从台湾转机去冲绳,于是中途计划了几天在台南。

The trip was : Hong Kong -> Kaohsiung City-> Tainan City (Stayed for 3 days) -> Kaohsiung City -> Okinawa, Japan (Stayed for 6 days) -> Kaohsiung City (Stayed for 1 day) -> Hong Kong.
整个行程大致上是:香港 -> 高雄 -> 台南逗留3天 -> 高雄 -> 冲绳逗留6天 -> 再回高雄住1天 -> 回香港

Tainan City 台南

Taiwan is full of yummy. Lots of young couples and backpackers like going to Tainan City to explore lanes for unique taste.
台湾是出了名的美食多,尤以夜市小吃闻名,甚至有各式各样新奇的吃法。 台湾的年轻情侣和背包客们都爱去台南走街串巷,寻找独特的美味。

The place I lived in Tainan is called ‘U.I.J Hotel & Hostel’. This hotel was started early 2018. The interior design is industrial style.
我再台南居住的旅馆叫做“友爱街旅馆”。 于18年年初投入运营,室内的设计走工业风,很有网红打卡feel。住客们无一不花上好些时间在这里拍照。

Khmer Angkor 吴哥的雨

Since I came back from Phuket this May, I was planning another short trip as my birthday was approaching. Angkor Wat appeared in my mind many times.

The upcoming dragon boat festival would be a good chance. I booked accommodation and flights right after my decision,  and went through a few travel posts absently. That was all I did before departure.

I booked the flights from trip.com. Depart: Hong Kong -> Ho Chi Minh City -> Siem Reap,  Return: Siem Reap -> Phnom Penh -> Hong Kong

5月从Phuket回来之后不久,突然间想到不久后就生日了,恰逢端午节,于是想利用短暂的长周末去一下吴哥,一个出现在朋友圈无数次的地方。

秉承我一贯的作风,定好时间,订好机票和住宿,草草地在蚂蜂窝看了几篇游记,然后就这么出发了。

携程trip.com上买的机票,去程:香港->胡志明->暹粒,回程:暹粒->金边->香港

Scuba Diving @ Phuket

About one and half years ago, I went to Phuket for Discover Scuba Diving. Although I will never ever forget that moment I jumped into the water, I felt choked, the experience was pretty impressive. Since then, I get addicted to scuba diving. Last year I got my Open Water License in Bohol.

This time I was planning to dive in Similan just before it is closed (Mid May). But after I bought the air tickets, I found all the liveaboard diving programs require more diving experience or an AOW (Advanced Open Water). Probably this is a good time for me to level up and gain more experience.

一年半以前,去普吉的时候体验了几次潜水,虽然我永远忘不了第一次跳进水里的窒息感,但是体验还是非常的难忘,于是自从那次,我便开始有点爱上水肺潜水了。去年在薄荷岛拿了Open Water潜水牌照之后一直都没有再潜过了。

这次本打算赶在今年五月中闭岛之前去斯米兰船宿,可是没想到船宿普遍要求AOW。我等菜鸟还是有一点点风险。本着对自己负责的态度,这次或许也是个机会升级一下AOW并且多刷几瓶气了。

Summary of recent software troubleshooting

I’ve been facing a lot of software issues regarding to software, development kit and systems. Not everyone will face the same problem and although it can be searched by google, for some of the issues, even with the help by google I still spent a couple of afternoons and evenings figuring them out. So I mark some of the solutions here, hopefully it can help someone who gets here by searching some specific problems.

As a lot of different issues are involved, it will be tedious if I write an article for every single issue, I prefer listing all of them down in this article.

近期疲于折腾,遇到了不少问题,虽然很多问题并不是大多数人都会遇到,虽然google也都能找到,但有些问题借助google也花了一整个下午或晚上才解决,mark一下,或许也会对人有所帮助。

由于涉及的问题很多很杂,每一个问题都写一篇文章似乎也没有必要,所以就在一篇里全部说完好了。 Continue reading

Winter in Russia

First Impression on Russia

Before visiting Asia or China, in many Europeans or Americans’ mind, China is supposed to be a poor country and falling behind the times. Their impressions on China still stay in Mao Tse-tung Period. My impression on Russia is similar. Soviet Period has been past for decades, the economy in Russia is still stuck. So the city should be very old fashioned. I find some of my colleagues also think so after I share my experience with them when I’m back. Definitely, we are all incorrect. I’ve ever read a few people’s traveling blog mentioning Moscow and St Petersburg are 15-20 years behind Beijing and Shanghai. But this sounds ridiculous to me. How they judge the prosperity of the cities depends on how many skyscrapers there are. But I prefer the history and culture in the cities.

俄罗斯の初印象

如同平时与亚洲国家毫无交集的欧洲人在涉足之前对中国的印象仍然停留在古代或者毛泽东时代一般,初来莫斯科之前,我脑海中的莫斯科应该是个陈旧落后的城市,因为苏联的衰落以及俄罗斯经济的不景气,前苏联鼎盛辉煌的时期一去不复返,经过近几十年的洗礼,这座城市的整体水平应该也就同曼谷差不多。回来之后与同事分享,发现他们也与我去之前的想法一样。当然,事实证明我们都错了。可笑的是,我看见一些人在关于俄罗斯旅行的日志中分享道,莫斯科和圣彼得堡,至少落后北京和上海十五至二十年,而我却并不苟同,因为他们评判一座城市发达与否的标准是高楼大厦的数量。
