清邁,下雨。常常下雨。但有個性。下雨範圍清晰可見,是天氣先生局部地區性那種。就算龐沱大雨,話收就收,不要渴望雨後上天再給一丁點滋潤。雨也是祝福,或是上天連繫土地的方法。路邊的破盆爛瓦,植物卻在其中向榮生長,花兒也在枯葉泥濘盡情綻放。明白了。天生天養。人也一樣。飛機上看見雨水落在田園上,逐片逐片,好像系統式灌溉。想起天降瑪哪,不多不少。原來是上帝的工程。上帝的庇蔭。

清邁市位於平原之上,四周群山起舞,是一只大大的平底鍋。深綠色的。放眼看去是圍成正方形,樓房散亂其中,像四方城內的馬吊子。
行程許可,在地圖上選了一條直路走,其實隨意一條也可以,因沒有目的地要前往。景點名勝可免則免,反正拍張到此一遊的照片不會比Google Yahoo找來的好看。清邁也少了奇景奇觀可以壓場。要看,就看生活。
街上行人汽車不多,應該正直辦公上學期間。商店也許照常營業。店務員也許如常工作。也許不是。因店舖多是無人駕駛,像一座巨型的販賣機,拆掉了透明防盜蓋,任均選擇。情況至少在有人對著收銀處大叫三數聲前是這樣的。應該是概念錯了,不是一種生活在利益計算下的人能理解的營商手法。遠處傳來的煙霧夾雜著燒肉和炭灰味,小販販賣的是意想不到的串燒豬大腸和雞臀。一串。本了老命也得試一串。不只一串,還有那份超越地域文化...(在此剎停。寫下去也是重覆三督屁。技巧有限,描繪不了那份淡然卻豐富的感受。就讓那份甜美留在回憶處,或待各下親身去發掘。更多更多。)
附加資料:街頭串燒,約$1。沒有肚痛大作,看你敢唔敢博。
屬山之地
坐在包車後座,臉沒有一刻離開車窗。玻璃面散著雨水滴,濛濛陽光下的點點投影最吸引,一圈一圈,皮膚多了黑豹子的神秘。從市集到深山,熬上個多小時的車程。沿途風光飄移變更,石屎牆換成大樹幹,參天成群。悄然的改變,相信是可一不可再。最期待被淹沒,被抽離。被綠色的海。
拉開車門好比拉開洗衣程序運作中的洗衣機門眼一樣。車箱內封閉累積的興奮蓄勢待發。心情,一下子,水銀瀉地。跳下車,深吸一口氣。微涼的。再吸,原來空氣已泠下來了。泠不下來,更狂熱澎湃,是身體。大叫大嚷,有一點點兒過度,失控。天色剩下最後的一片灰籃,四周樹影是深綠而層次分明。身再轉一圈。為這片天這座山。笑了。那才叫懷抱,大自然的。
附加資料:山。遊清邁必要往山走一趟,那份高深廣博,忘也忘不了。
簡簡單單
唱遊異國,沒有什麼比好心情重要。拍照片亦然。就算好天氣好景觀不在鼓掌內,也可看看沉鬱的世界訴說什麼故事。美麗以外,世界還有其他形容詞。
午餐時分,途經山中小村鎮。四周仍然是山和霧。從谷中爬升消散那一種。不住的。輕輕的。村口相連一條往山上的路,相信是鄰近地區最熱鬧的一條。路旁是商店,售賣土產紀念品的。往上一柺,不出20步,原來已是平房民居。噢。商店街,已止步。在村口的小店坐下,嚐嚐炒河湯粉。味道不錯,風味搭夠。尤其土炮黑蠅迎風而來。繞迴不去,使地道風味更具體貼切。
衝衝吃完,拿起照相機拂袖而去。轉往下路,一片爛地黃土,連平房也帶點疏落。赤腳街童彈彈跳跳迎面而來,在鐡皮屋前竊竊私語樂樂大笑。準備好了,緊握鏡頭衝過去。咔唰。做一個勝利手勢。咔唰,咔唰。跟隨他們往空地走,在砂石堆玩耍。做一個鬼臉逗他們注意。咔唰。語言不通,用大自然的話音溝通。扮豬扮狗扮雞叫。望了過來。咔唰。笑。咔唰,咔唰。快門閃過不停。
雖然逗留不過一刻鐘。步履在百米範圍之內,卻忘不了那雲霧中的山城。簡簡單單。像孩子的笑臉。
很少拍人。因最難捕捉。這張,最愛。

Hey...Do you know which Crystal am I?
This is the 1st time to visit your blog. I read a lot, almost from Jun 06 til now. You ,who is different from the one I knew, might have many many things want to share. You anger, your joy, your sadness...all these seems have been recorded by words and even photos. Keep your effort to record your ever-changing life. It deserves to be recorded.
For me, life is ever-changing but I would only write down something which depressed me or confused me. For me, it's a way to release but it's seems that it's not a very effective way though. It's a bit not like me, while I always try to be positive, rational & bright.
Glad to share with you here. AND, remember to bring us soveniours from Thailand.
Crystal, I certainly know who you r . “ Different from the one you know” haha,,,I was not the one who just know joking and playing, even I like people recognize me in that way. In this blog, it means so much for me. I can say I try to create “ the ideal model” for myself, that I couldn’t achieve in my real life, so, it’s just an illusion. “ hahha.
We are all buzy, but lonely. That’s the symptom for the people in this city. No one knows the reason why we working so hard for $$$ and $$$. For me, I always ask myself to be awake and sensitive in every environment and situation (time I work with u, also), then do observation. Then I would know and get more interesting thing in our fucking boring life and work.
Everything will flow and take it easy, girl.
Another J.Ng
