This is the first Japanese postcard I receive after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami (10 days after the quake). Although I do not know the sender, the postcard still moves me. It's like the Dove which brought the Olive back to Noah's Ark. Everything is all right there in Japan, and the world is still turning.

I know that most damage was not caused by the quake but by the tsunami. The sea in the postcard looks so peaceful. No one can imagine that it brought such a big catastrophe. I hope that the radiation problem is solved sooner, and Japan back to the normal sooner.

The world is with all Japanese. We pray for Japan.

這張是日本東北大地震後收到的第一張日本明信片(震後十天)。雖然我不認識寄件人,不過從近災區(東京)收到報平安的信,有種微微的感動。就好像鴿子帶著橄欖枝回到諾亞方舟一樣,告訴你眾人均安,世界一切安好。

地震其實不是災害的主因,是海嘯才席捲了沿海地帶。圖案是千葉的勝浦灣,海面是如此的平靜,顏色是多麼暖和。誰知這片海會帶來殘酷的水,再帶走這樣多的性命。不論接下來的輻射災害最終如何解決,我相信人們都會更加懂得與自然相處之道。天空終究會出現彩虹。

也祝日本早日恢復。頑張って!日本!

This postcard was registered on the same day I sent it.

It usually taked two or three days to send a postcard to another Taiwanese postcrosser in Taiwan. So if I got the address on Thursday or Friday, it would take two days longer and reach after the weekend. So when I got this address, I was not quite happy. However, I laughed out after checking the receiver's name.

He was the younger classmates in my university club, Penpal and Philately Association (PAPA). I sent him a message on Facebook then he registered it earlier than I went out to mail it.


這幾天到片很順暢,一連到了三四張明信片,累積到今天下午才有空來抽。以這樣的額度,我想應該會抽中臺灣的同胞,果然第一張就是。一般臺灣島內郵遞,大約是隔天到過兩天可到,不過近期明信片似乎常常多一天,因此星期四或五抽到臺灣人,幾乎就註定要多兩天週末時間才會到了。因為少了趕截郵的壓力,加上可以寫中文比較輕鬆,所以就先擱著繼續往後抽。

等所有的額度都抽完了,一一檢視抽到的人。哈!這位臺灣人是集郵筆友社的學弟哩!我到臉書寫了個短訊給它,才剛傳好圖片,他就登錄了。創下了Postcrossing的0天記錄。(雖然是投機的方式得到的記錄。)

詹學弟最近看來很沈迷於攝影,還經營個攝影部落格,所以我挑了這張2008年臺博百週年攝影比賽的金獎給他。有時候比賽金獎不在於圖像記錄,還有一些是情感和美感成份,因此這張雖美但傳達較少「博物館」意象,我不太知道該如何對外國人解說。所以金牌獎還是留給在玩攝影的台灣人啦。有空多去逛逛博物館呀,學弟!


我寄完信回頭寫這篇時,才發現前一篇學弟有留言,更想收原圖卡。我還說被我抽到再寄一張給他。Orz真是挑錯片了。真抱歉。
