raining Amsterdam






There is keep raining slightly with gender wind in the journey of Amsterdam, but it is doesn't matter for this amazing trip when I walk in the alley. I prefer raining night in the city, to see the wet street reflect windows' light of street store. It's obviously sparse populated in that time and the canal doesn't looks that special anymore when it be compared with this raining night.

 Its remind me a song called "wait" by M83. Maybe Hazel and Gus in the story "The Fault in Our Starts"  have no opportunity to walk in the wet Amsterdam street like us, but I believe that the memory of this city for them must be more impress than us.

To experience those windows girl giggle and flirt on the red light zone, and the weed store with neon. I just realize what the smell of weed is. And I also remember the history I learned before, my country was ever be colonial by Netherlander, and it's obviously can not help me to know more about this nation, but anyway this period of past really make me excited for the journey.

在阿姆斯特丹的時間有一半都下著微微細雨伴隨著輕輕刮起的冷風,但是絲毫不減我對這趟旅行的興致,來回的走在舖滿磚頭的巷道內,這是我一直以來最欣賞的城市天氣之一,因為雨天而潮濕的人行街道倒影出這些低矮商店街立面的燈火,路上的行人明顯的少了許多,幾乎在每個路口都可以看見的河道在夜晚的雨夜中顯得就沒那麼特別了。

腦海裡自動填補上M83的wait這首歌,也許電影The Fault in Our Stars裡的Hazel和Gus沒有機會像這樣漫無目的的踏在積水的阿姆斯特丹街道上,不過他們對這個城市的記憶一定比我深刻的多。

見識了紅燈區櫥窗女郎的搔首弄姿和打著綠色藍色霓虹的煙草商店,我才知道原來那是大麻葉的味道,突然想起來原來這個國家是小時候歷史課本上曾經拋洋過海統治過台灣的遙遠國度,建立起著這個若有似無的連結似乎對認識這個城市一點幫助也沒有,不過倒是多了一點原來是這樣的驚喜。
