瓦努阿圖 Vanuatu

Recently, I heard that there is an advertising about migration to Vanuatu. Vanuatu, people start to raise the question and feeling like this is the only haven in planet maybe, the last Wonderland. I didn’t watch this advertising on TV and don’t know the details. But, few years ago, I have been to Vanuatu because this country/place have been won the award of the happiest planet. So I started to search some information and wanted to visit for this reason. And finally, I found a way: go by the cruise from Australia and they go south pacific line, I would actually stop there for half day!!!! I asked sponsor by this simple and rear reason, although some might think that I was just wasting time which will never seems interesting. But to be honest, a traveler should always feel exciting to all kind of destination.

Thanks for all helps, it did happen on 2007-8, can’t remember. But I am sure my photographer would never forget this trip. First few days in Australian Blue Mountain we went canyoning and I was Fucking hurt, she and I were never a swimmers but I did the crazy jump over the waterfall about 25 meters….Finally, I hurt my hand then it was inflected when we boarded on cruise. I went to see the cruise’s doctor day by day. Finally, we arrived Vanuatu, we went to one of the secret island, there were an underwater post in 3 meters. Before, I dived the wreck, the US ship which the deepest point reached 60 meters. At last, my photographer and I walked back to the cruise as the taxi driver tried to charge us more money than usual…this was the Wonderland of Vanuatu.

I had a lot of memories about this place and the whole trip. And I loved to be an explorer. But I am sorry for those few years who suffered the trips with me, I knew that you might not be a crazy people like me…haha…but you need to work with me. Sorry! Please store this in your memory.

最近,聽到有一個電視的廣告節目,是關於移民往瓦努阿圖,說是世界上最快樂的國家,這勾起我少許回憶,早在 2007-08 年左右,在網上有個快樂星球指數的選舉,而瓦努阿圖名列首位,比芬蘭等公認最富的北歐國家還要優勝,這引起了我的興趣,決心想找一個方法去採訪這地方。或者,當時我的同事與上司都覺得我痴線,為了這麼一個「小」理由,幸運地最終找到了贊助,是郵輪公司的一條南太平洋航線。首站我留在澳洲悉尼附近的 blue Mountain。這旅程非常深刻,因為我與不懂泳術的女攝影師,竟然往 Canyoning 去(溪降),我還冒死跳落二十多米深的瀑布,當時我是不懂游泳的。最終手背受傷細菌感染仍上船去,每天見醫生。不過,到站瓦努阿圖時,仍然是去潛水及拍攝海底的郵筒去,我與攝影師此行印象深刻,我肯定她不會忘記,我們不甘被屈錢而由市中心徒步到碼頭這一幕。

我真的很感激,過去「被迫」與我工作的攝影師及夥伴,我知我是個很瘋癲的人,不過我是個有病的冒險家。我知道你不會忘記這些旅程,呵呵,當是回憶也不錯。
