Looking for Harry Porter and Alice in Oxford(UK)!英國牛津尋找哈利波特及艾莉絲之旅!

What a wonderful day in this historical city of Oxford!! Well none of course for its University and splendid architectures!! But we find out a lot more, The city center is incredibly pretty and traditional, English food, little stores and English Pubs, easy to access every where by bicycles!!

在復古的牛津度過了美好的一天! 除了有名的牛津大學還有輝煌的建築! 但我們發現了更多,市中心非常漂亮和傳統,英國食物,小商店和酒吧,可以騎乘自行車到處走訪!

London to Oxford transport:
1. Bus : Megabus , early bird ticket from ₤1 ,take around 100 minutes from Victoria bus station.
2. Train : early bird ticket from ₤10 , take around 60 minutes form a lot of station of London centre.
For me , i usually take bus as 100 minutes is not long and it’s convenient ,cheap.

倫敦到牛津交通方式
1. 巴士 : Megabus , 早鳥票最1英鎊起,車程約100分鐘,在Victoria巴士總站搭車
2. 火車 : 早鳥票10英鎊起,車程約60分鐘,從倫敦市區多處車站都可搭乘
我通常都是搭乘巴士前往,車程不到兩小時,便宜又方便。

In Oxford , apart from train station which is in 15 minutes on feet from center , you can walk to the rest of the places, no need any fees , only thing you need to pay is the entrance. If you have limited budget you will need to choose what is the most important for you to do. Below are some places we went!

The most excited place for us is where Harry Porter movie took…  can’t wait to see it!! Haha~

So we planned to start from the south part which is Harry Porter movie location and then walk to North site.

在牛津,除了火車站稍遠至市區需步行15分鐘外,牛津其他景點都步行即可到達,不需額外交通費用。
牛津大學部分學院有開放參觀,不過需買票入場,有預算考量的話就必須有所取捨了!!
以下是我們有去的景點,來到牛津最期待的就是哈利波特的場景,因為等不及!!!哈哈~所以我的安排是先衝往南邊參觀哈利波特的場景,再一路往北慢慢步行參觀其他景點。

This is the key point of the trip , Harry Porter movie took place , you can find a lot of corner you have seen in the movie, like the stairs, dining room etc.. you will be remind by movie , at meantime , don’t forget to look the little Alice on the wall!! Haha
這是本次旅行的重點,哈利波特的拍攝場景,學院中有許多角落都曾出現在電影場景中,讓你慢慢發現,哈!不過重頭戲是裡面的學院餐廳(Dining hall),一進入餐廳有種身歷其境的感覺,腦中馬上湧現電影中的情節,回憶電影之餘,不要忘記尋找牆面上的愛麗絲唷!!哈哈

Our Trip in Taiwan South East part!花東我們來囉!

 

 

Where should we start!!!! From A to Z it was just an amazing trip! Couldn’t stop looking at the landscape all around us during all the travel!! Between mountains, valleys, sea sides and traditional towns… our road trip was just full of souvenirs!! (中文內容請參閱下方)

Taiwanese have here one of the best to show, blue turquoise ocean, rich green mountains, little beautiful towns and a lot more..  where ever you pose your eyes you feel amazed! Not only the eyes but also your stomach will get full too!! a lot of fruits plantation like mango or pineapple, juicy,sweet and traditional food all along the trip!

We record for you this video, from Tainan to Taitung, to Hualien by the sea side road and Hualien to Taichung by the crazy and amazing Taroko road !!! ( Please be super careful if you decide to take this road in the mountain, i never did more dangerous lol!!)

For the most courageous people, it takes about 4h30 to drive throw the mountain, depends on weather.. for us it was even more crazy with deep fog and rain haaaa!!

.The night market in the video is situated in Hualien,  open every night from 6pm.

.Paragliding in Taitung area, from Taitung city need to drive 45 min from the city in direction of Hualien.

. .In Hualien we stop by TRUE FRIENDS inn to rest comfortably after a long day, you can find our post about the hotel by clicking on the hotel name or here.

Find out more about Taiwan and what to do by clicking here. We talk about

10 things you must do IN TAIWAN.

Have a good movie and Bye bye little birds!!!!

 

從哪裡開始好呢!!!從A到Z都非常滿分的旅程,從山林、峽谷、海景到鄉村的景象,捨不得閉眼的美景,整路都是我們的紀念品。

這裡是台灣最值得欣賞的風景之一,蔚藍的海景、綠意盎然的山景、村莊美景等等…..隨時隨地感受的到驚豔!當然不只是養眼,你的胃也大大的得到滿足!!!沿途到處都有果園,像是芒果跟鳳梨等等,多汁又甜。

我們用影片記錄了整個旅程,從台南沿海到台東、花蓮,再從花蓮穿過瘋狂的中橫回到台中!!(提醒大家,開車走中橫真的要非常非常小心,我從來沒開過如此危險的路!!!)

對於熱血的人來說,大概需要4.5個小時才能走完中橫,不過還是取決於天氣……對於我們來說,深霧和雨天熱路程更加瘋狂了!

影片中的夜市是位於花蓮市,每日從晚上6點開始營業。

滑翔翼是位於台東地區,從台東往花蓮方向開車大約45分鐘左右。

在花蓮我們住在TRUE FRIENDS inn ,你可以點擊飯店名稱參閱更多關於飯店的介紹。

Hualien-A NIGHT IN “ TRUE FRIENDS” INN 花蓮CP值超高住宿

We were really surprised by the hotel when we arrived, cosy and elegant, located in central Hualien, east coast of TAIWAN.

Are you planning a trip in Hualien? Then you can book without waiting! Hualien is famous for hostel but if like us after a long travel ( 7h drive) you want your comfort, then here you go!

What I really enjoy is the fact that actually it wasn’t expensive for a standard twin room! 1150 ntd ( 30$ about) for 2 peoples with breakfast.

台灣東部花蓮一個讓我們非常驚豔的飯店,溫馨又優雅,而且位於市中心唷。

你正在計畫花蓮之旅嗎?那你就不需考慮直接下定吧!花蓮其實民宿很熱門,但如果你跟我們一樣,在經過了漫長的路程(7小時)才抵達,像要住在舒適飯店的話,就是這裡了!

我最滿意的其實是標準雙床房價格超親民,一晚台幣只要1150(美金30)含早餐。

The room:

Like many hotel in Taiwan, air conditional, WiFi, fridge, tv, hair dryer are all included of course.

The standard twin room have two double size bed, wardrobe, desk, bathroom

Clean and comfortable, what we just need for a night :)!

房間的部分:

就像大多數的飯店,空調、wifi、冰箱、電視、吹風機應有盡有。標準雙床房有兩張雙人床、衣櫥、桌子,浴室的部分也很乾淨,住一晚最適合不過了!

Location :

The hotel is in central Hualien, on the main road to the amazing and famous huge night market ( about 3 min walk)

Many restaurants around the hotel, 7/11 about 2 min walk, bars and stores.

Walk a little bit more ( 5 min walking total from hotel ) to get to the sea side with a perfect view on the port and the mountain! We went at evening it was just magical

地點:

地點位於花蓮市中心,距離花蓮最大夜市步行只要三分鐘。

附近也有很多餐廳、酒吧、商店,而且步行2分鐘就有7-11囉。

稍微走遠一點(大概5分鐘)就可以抵達海邊囉,一覽海港跟山景!這次我們特別選在傍晚去欣賞美景!!

The Hotel propose free bicycle for guests what is also really convenient if you want to go around and visiting!

Lovely stay, affordable, comfortable and perfect location!

飯店還有提供免費腳踏車給住戶,讓他們可以方便地到處逛逛。

很棒的住宿經驗,親民的價錢,舒適又方便的地點!!!

We went to Seoul, Korea, Excellent trip!!首爾我們來了!!!>

Incheon International Airport 仁川國際機場

We arrived at Incheon International Airport, huge airport, approximately 1 hour by train from the center of Seoul. The airport is modern with easy transportation facilities.

 From the airport to Seoul: The easiest way to get from the airport to the center of Seoul is by train. You’ll have to cross over the road, just follow the signs and get to the adjacent building which is the train station. There are a couple different options:

  • Express Train –  AREX, This is the faster high speed train that goes directly from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station. It takes about 43 minutes and the price is 14,800 Won ($12.70) per person.
  • Seoul Metro –  The metro goes the same route, only take a few minutes longer due to its stop at differents station before and costs much less. Stop at 11 different stations along the way, and it can be busy, so you may need to stand. It takes about 56 minutes and costs 3,250 Won ($2.80).

You can read more information here. An other possibility it’s to take a taxi to seoul,  it will cost you about 65,000 won ( $58) to go to Myeong-dong.

Incheon International Airport仁川國際機場非常大,從首爾市中心乘機場線火車約1小時。 機場非常現代,而且交通便利。

從機場到首爾市區: 最簡便的方式是坐火車。 你必須出機場大廳穿越馬路,按照標誌前往另一棟建築物即是火車站。 火車有幾種不同的選擇:

機場快線 – AREX,從仁川機場直接到首爾站的快速列車。 大約需要43分鐘,價格為每人14,800韓元(12.70美元)。
地鐵 – 地鐵也是沿著相同的路線行駛,因為會停靠在各站所以而且搭乘時間比較長,但是價格比較便宜。 沿途停靠11站,人多的時候,可能沒有位置坐。 搭乘時間大約需要56分鐘,費用為3,250韓元(2.80美元)。

SEOUL 首爾

This is our second trip to seoul! indeed we really enjoy our first stay there so we decided to go back again in city trip, 3 days stay haha!!! WHY? For the food we missed so much and also for the lifestyle!!

Seoul is a giant city  with about 10 million people who live there where modern skyscrapers, high-tech subways and pop culture meet Buddhist temples, palaces and street markets.

Seoul is like many capitals, divided by district/area, shopping area, old district, traditional area, young area etc…like Bukchon Hanok Village, Myeong-dong,  Gwanghwamun (Gyeongbokgung Palace),  Namsan, Deoksugung, gangnam, Yangcheon, Hongdae and more!

這是我們二訪首爾!第一次的到訪非常享受這個城市,所以這次決定再次回到這個城市,逗留了3天,哈哈! 為什麼呢? 因為我們實在太想念這裡的食物和生活方式了!

首爾是一個擁有約1000萬人口的大城市,街道上混合了現代摩天大樓,高科技地鐵、流行文化、佛教寺廟,宮殿和街頭市集等景象。

首爾就像許多首都一樣,以區來劃分,購物區,舊區,傳統區,年輕區等…如北村韓屋村,明洞,光化門(景福宮),南山,德壽宮,江南,仁川, 弘大等!

OUR STAY 住宿

We stayed at a very affordable hotel, Myeongdong Stay Residence, about $40/night. Hotel room in seoul are not huge but you have everything you need, of course depending on your budget you can chose what comfort you need. For our 3 days over there it was just perfect, in the city center nearby the Myeong-dong metro station and shopping district.

我們住在一個非常評價的民宿,Myeongdong Stay Residence,明洞住宿公寓,約40美元/晚。 首爾的酒店(民宿)房間雖然不是很大,但是應有盡有,當然根據你的預算,你可以選擇你所需要的住宿。 我們在這裡住宿的3天對我們來說很完美,位於市中心附近的明洞地鐵站,鄰近購物區。

Where should you go ? 要去哪裡?

I think we all have a different taste and envy during our holiday, we will share with you some of our favorites places !!!

我想大家對於旅遊都有不同的品味和喜好,我們將與您分享我們最喜歡的地方!

1 NAMSAN and the N SEOUL TOWER 南山首爾塔

Can you say you’ve been to Seoul if you don’t visit Namsan?! This is one of the thing you have to do when you arrive to seoul! More if you are in couple, by night it is just wonderful and they made it especially for lovers. This is the lover/ new lover spot where young people and young couple come to memorized there love.  The tower is pretty huge, possibility to buy tickets  (start price $7.30) to the observatory ( but honestly, you have amazing view all around, no need to pay).  different stairs with food stores, souvenir stores and arcade place are located at the bottom of the Tower.

如果沒去南山,就不能表示你去過首爾! 這是首爾必去景點之一!如果你是跟另一伴一起去,最適合晚上去,特別是情侶。 這是約會的好景點,不管是年輕人和年輕夫妻都愛來這邊增添記憶。 首爾塔滿大的,可以買票上去觀景台(起價7.30美元)(但老實說,不用到觀景台你就可以看到美麗的景色了,無需花錢買票。樓下還有一些餐廳、紀念品商店和商場)。

TIPS 提示: Take a cable car ride to go on the top from Myeong-dong 可以從明洞搭乘纜車到山頂

2 A night in Myeong-dong 明洞之夜

myeongdong-326136_1280.png

Myeong-dong is a famous shopping, food and fashion area where young, adult people and tourists enjoy walking around by day or night! Myeong-dong is probably the place you can feel the shop are super friendly ,greeting in English, Chinese and Japanese ( of course in Korean too ).

During the night you can find food everywhere, like a giant night market all over the shopping area!! Great to walk around and eat korean street food! Otherwise stop by a popular place to eat, like a korean bbq, Tteokbokki (rice cake rolls in chili sauce), Gimbap, bibimbap or Odeng. For dessert we went to SULBING cafe to try Mango shaved ice !!! EXCELLENT!!!!

明洞是著名的購物、美食和時尚地區,年輕人、成年人、遊客不管白天或晚上都可以在這裡逛街! 明洞的商店可以說是最友善的,英語、中文、日語都會通(當然還有韓語)。

晚上,街道上都處都是食物攤販,就像是購物區內的大型夜市! 很適合到處走走吃吃韓國街頭美食! 或是也可以停下腳步好好享受韓國小吃,像是韓國燒烤,Tteokbokki(辣椒醬卷年糕,)Gimbap(紫菜包飯),石鍋拌飯或Odeng(關東煮)。 甜點部分,我們在SULBING咖啡館品嘗了芒果冰! 美味!!!!

首爾還有很多地方去,像是南大門市場、江南、仁寺洞、東大門或新沙洞! 每個角落都有美味的食物,不過大部分都是辣的,如果你不吃辣,最好先問一下,點一些比較清單菜餚。 如果你有時間,不妨嘗試一下傳統韓國服裝。 該輪到你去旅行囉,好好享受你的首爾之旅吧!

Restaurant Philip, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse -南法-碧泉村高CP值米其林餐廳

An affordable Michelin restaurant in the South part of France, “Restaurant Philip”. I strongly recommend to people who are in the Provence watching lavender fields like me 🙂 !! ( need to drive to go there)

平名也吃的起的米其林餐廳初體驗-南法Restaurant Philip,推薦給跟我一樣在普羅旺斯欣賞薰衣草的大家!!!(須開車前往)

36222409_2040562979328821_9220257936457072640_n

Walking around 500m into the cute traditional village of Fontaine de Vaucluse before to arrive in a peaceful and charming place surrounded by nature and the river, accompany by ducks and the waterfalls sound… just perfect spot to chillax while eating! This is life!!!
在步行約500公尺進入傳統小鎮碧泉村後,即可以抵達寧靜迷人又有大自然及碧綠的河水環繞的餐廳,用餐時還有瀑布的聲音以及不時有成群的鴨子們來打聲招呼,這就是人生啊!!!

35123941_2040454872672965_490633785172295680_n

When you arrive,you can see the view which is like we see from a painting ! Wonderful!
一抵達即可看見彷彿畫中才會出現的美景!

Walk along the path will be able to see the source of river.
沿著小徑走就可以找到源頭囉!!!

Philip ‘depuis 1926’ is one of the French gem restaurant situated in the south part, Province, on the ‘La Sorgue’ river in the little village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, touristic area.

 The seat is divided into two areas, first area is for the fast food service, the other area is for the Michelin recommended meal. After checking the prices, the price of the Michelin recommended meal is really friendly, approx 40 Euro per person!!!! Along with the seat is the clear green water, clear enough to see the bottom of the water, sometimes there are ducks coming!! While dining, listening to the water, feel like in the paradise.

Restaurant Philip 是法國稀有的餐廳,坐落於南方普羅旺斯地區,為於La Sorgue河畔的一個村莊,可以算是觀光地區。

座位分為兩區,一區為快速小點區,另一區才是米其林推薦餐,查看價格後發現,米其林推薦餐的價錢真是有夠親民,一個人只要40歐!!!!座位旁邊就是清澈的綠水,清澈到可以看到水底唷,不時還有鴨子結伴同遊唷!!!!一邊用餐,一邊聽著流水淙淙,整個很有世外桃源的感覺。

restaurant-philip

Of course ,delicious food is key point. The plates are really traditional and inherited from the family. Menu will change of course so here are what we tried:

美食,當然是今日重點,餐點是非常傳統的法國菜,由家族傳承下來的好手藝。菜單會不時變化,以下是這次我們品嘗到的菜餚:

Appetizer-melon balls freshly served, just perfect for the hot summer days and to start with,
開胃菜-經過擺盤的哈密瓜球,在炎炎夏日中,這個開胃菜真是來的恰到好處。

Starter – Espuma (foam) of creamy snails, come with a slice of baked bacon and crispy bread, can obviously feel the sticky taste of the snail ,haha!! (personally , i prefer French grill snail served with garlic butter.)
前菜-法式蝸牛湯espuma (Foam) ,搭配培根及麵包條,可以明顯嚐出蝸牛黏稠的口感,哈哈!!(我個人比較喜歡法式烤蝸牛)

Main dish- there were two choice , fish or chicken, fish are fishing directly from  the river, (obviously so fresh), served with fresh pasta!! the chicken is also raised by them, super tender and tasty served with potatoes gratin!!!
主餐-有兩種選擇,現撈魚或是雞肉,於是從旁邊清澈的河中現撈的唷,當然新鮮,搭配少許義大利麵,而雞也是他們自己養的唷,搭配馬鈴薯泥,肉質超嫩!!!

Dessert – for a lemon tarte lover like me, when i saw it on menu, undoubtedly, it is! And it’s just my taste, the biscuit is crispy and the lemon cream favor is a bit sour that what i love with a soft meringue on a top… delicious hehe!
甜點-熱愛法式檸檬塔的我看到菜單上有這個選擇當然二話不說,就是它了!!口味正合我意,下面的餅皮很脆,中間的內餡偏酸,很解膩!!!哈哈

  

After eating , on the way back you can see beautiful waterwheel!!!
吃飽後也可以慢慢散步往下走,途中還可以欣賞一下水車唷!!

For this price for the food ,it’s really worth trying!!If you are going to south France , don’t miss it!!!!
以這個價格吃到米其林推薦的餐點,真是太值得了!!去南法的大家千萬不要錯過唷!!!
