浯島大小事

I put a Wind Lion God sticker on my helmet.
貼一張風獅爺貼紙在我的安全帽上

栗喉蜂虎(Blue Tailed Bee Eater)每年4月會陸續遷徙到金門，有夏日精靈的稱號
Blue Tailed Bee Eaters come to Kinmen every April. So they were called Summer Elves.

託同事到美國出差的福, 帶了一罐藍瓶咖啡豆回來當伴手禮, 讓我有機會一親藍瓶咖啡的芳澤.
目前藍瓶咖啡豆總共有5種口味, 分別是GIANT STEPS、AYES VALLEY、BELLA DONOVAN、THREE AFRICAS與NIGHT LIGHT DECAF; 這次同事送我的是BELLA DONOVAN, 罐頭的正面標示了這款咖啡豆帶有覆盆莓、巧克力與黑糖蜜的風味, 聽說也是藍瓶熱賣的豆種.
此款咖啡豆包裝僅170公克, 還不及半磅, 以我每次手沖用掉20公克的需求, 大概也僅能沖泡8杯咖啡, 真是高貴

在清明節, 人們會前去整理清潔祖先的墓地, 思念自己的親人
On Tomb Sweeping Day, people visit the gravesite and miss their ancestors.

在過去經歷過戰爭的金門長輩們, 都能夠清楚辨識砲彈的方位
Elders in Kinmen who have lived through war in the past can clearly identify where the shells came from.

 
小時候在房間都可以聽到軍校生早晨的軍歌答數聲, 民安街每到例假日, 身著鼻挺軍服的軍校生回鄉返校的盛況, 也讓我對就讀軍校有了憧憬.

 
去年常用的悠遊卡因為折斷而失去功用, 即使拿到捷運公司讀取, 也拿不回裡面的餘額, 所以閒置在抽屜很久. 前幾天腦袋閃過一個念頭, 想要讓悠遊卡起死回生.
 先用手電筒找尋悠遊卡晶片的位置, 並且標記起來.

過往在金門全島都可以發現水獺的蹤跡, 但是因為土地的開發與交通事故, 讓水獺的數量預估少於200隻.
請小心駕駛, 以建立一個對水獺友善的居住環境.
Otters were once found throughout Kinmen island. But due to land development and traffic  accidents, the estimated number of otters is less than 200. Please drive carefully to create an friendly living environment for otters.

在金門常見到風獅爺披著紅色的披風, 那是居民向神民祈求願望後, 還願的謝禮
In Kinmen, it is common to see the Wind Lion Gods wearing red cloaks.
After Wind Lion Gods help people with what they have asked for, people usually make cloaks to thank gods.
