Lanyu - Part II | 兰屿 (二)

Alone to Lanyu

On the ferry, I kept looking for individual or small group that could be my travel mates for the next few days (I did not want to be lonely for the next few days), however, those were on board were big group with diving equipments. To avoid vomiting, I took nap after a short chat with a guy sitting next to me. People say the ferry tour causes nausea easily.

一个人去兰屿

在船上，因为不想孤单，我一直在寻找有潜质成为我旅伴的人，但是在船上的都是去潜水的旅团。与坐在旁边的潜水大哥结束了短暂的对话后，我就开始歇息，以防止昏船。之前听人说蛮容易昏船的。

They are all going for diving

Reaching Lanyu

It took two hours to reach Lanyu. I was sleeping all the while, so I was completely fine. Anxiety hit me when I was about to reach, as I did not make any room booking. Furthermore, I had no idea on handling a scooter. Scooter is the main transportation on the island, it would be hard for me to travel around the island.

I am always a lucky guy. I was so lucky to see people from guesthouse waiting for their guests at jetty, so, I simply approached to one of them.

The guy that I approached to is from Ya Mei Guesthouse.

I was also told that I was lucky because many had canceled their rooms booking due to typhoon. People usually have their rooms booked first before they visit this island.


在码头搭讪

两个小时船程，我到达了兰屿。没有订房和不会骑机车的我开始担心了。机车是兰屿岛上的首要交通工具，我不会骑机车，我要找民宿时一定会很困难。

不过，天无绝人之路，我很幸运，有许多民宿的接应在码头等待客人，于是，我就随便找了一位接应搭讪。

结果，接下来的两天，我就住在雅美民宿。

其实我真的很幸运，一般人都是把房间订了才去兰屿，我刚巧遇上台风，很多人都取消了订房，我才能有房间睡。

Scooter Riding

As I did not know how to handle a scooter, Niu (staff of the guesthouse) fetched me the guesthouse using his scooter.Then, he taught me how to ride a scooter. Driving without license in Lanyu is not illegal!

I handled it in a couple of minutes. People say, learning how to ride a scooter is as easy as learning how to ride a bike, if you are able to ride a bike, you are definitely able to ride a scooter.  

After that, I started my journey of driving without license.


在兰屿学机车

由于我不会骑机车，牛（民宿接应）用机车把我载到民宿。然后，再教我学机车。在兰屿无牌驾驶是不违法的！

那台小绵羊，我用几分钟就学会了。然后，我便开始了我在兰屿无牌驾驶的旅程。

I never expected that I could ride a scooter in Taiwan
真想不到，我竟然可以在台湾骑机车
