玩盡歐洲 21天　只花$2000
借宿網女達人教防狼 10招

【本報訊】香港女子早前遭沙發借宿網 CouchSurfing宿主強姦，敲起沙發自助遊安全警號。有本港沙發女達人指出，沙發旅遊不僅省錢，更可深入了解當地文化，上月底玩盡立陶宛等歐洲七國，不計機票費，只花 2,000港元；但女孩平玩也要着重自身安全，嚴守 10招可防無良宿主。　記者：蔡朗清

今年 25歲的沙發女達人余潔婷（ Karie）， 07年留學瑞典修讀建築碩士課程，接觸歐美盛行的國際旅遊沙發借宿網站 CouchSurfing（簡稱 CS）即成沙發愛好者，兩年內進行 20趟沙發旅遊，玩遍整個歐洲，「聽到有香港女仔玩 CS被宿主強姦，都好驚訝，呢啲事絕少發生。」

 

會員勳章越多越安全

Karie表示， CS旅遊固然省錢，更重要可深入體驗不同國家生活文化。她上月底完成碩士課程後，與一名朋友結伴進行一趟 21天歐洲沙發旅遊，從土耳其做起點，遊走保加利亞、塞爾維亞、波斯尼亞、拉脫維亞、立陶宛、匈牙利等七國，全部住在 CS宿主家中，「行程好似睇樓咁，見識過唔同國家民宿，打過地鋪，住過兩層獨立屋；有宿主係 DJ，帶埋我哋去開派對。」
她指出，不計機票，整趟旅程只花約 2,000港元，「住唔使錢，慳咗 4,000幾蚊，配合埋歐洲最興嘅 hitch-hiking（搭順風車）玩法，搭足 50幾程，又慳咗 4,000幾蚊車錢。」
但 Karie強調，想玩得開心玩得平必須注意人身安全，嚴守 10招可防無良宿主。女孩子必須二人同行投宿。選擇宿主更不能馬虎。登入網站先作初步篩選，列出宿主條件，女孩子應填上女宿主或家庭宿主，以及有豐富接待經驗的宿主，遇上不懷好意的宿主風險已大大降低。
她說，初步篩選後網頁會列出合條件的宿主，投宿者要耐性逐個揀選，「每個會員都有佢個人專頁，資料越詳細越安全，又可以睇吓對方夾唔夾自己。另要睇佢網頁左上角有冇誠信勳章，有勳章嘅會員即係誠實可靠，勳章數目越多越安全。」她續稱，宿主網頁附有宿友的評論，「呢啲一定要睇，有負面評論就唔好揀。」
Karie補充說，乘搭順風車必須二人同行及在日間截車以保安全，而最佳截車地點在城巿出口的主幹道路及油站，「我哋中國人更加容易截到車。」

 

嚴防無良宿主 10招

1.女士應二人同行投宿
2.選擇女性或家庭宿主
3.選擇有豐富接待經驗宿主
4.不選沒上載個人照片的宿主
5.宿主獲誠信勳章越多越安全
6.宿主個人專頁資料越詳盡越好
7.必須在宿主專頁了解居住環境
8.選回覆率高的宿主免被放飛機
9.詳細閱讀宿主個人專頁內其他宿友的評論
10.出發前告知家人宿主的資料及聯絡方法

開放屋企報答借宿恩情

本港約有 870多名 CouchSurfing會員，但願意開放門戶供會員借宿的宿主，鳳毛麟角，當中主要是外籍人士；現職藝術機構行政人員，與家人同住的地道港人莊曉斌，更是少數中的少數。

31歲的阿斌說， 07年在德國碩士畢業後，獲一間位於英國的公司聘請。 10月他取道巴黎擬往英國履新，突收到該公司通知取消聘請合約，「嗰陣好徬徨，喺巴黎冇人冇物唔知點算，好彩當地有個牧師收留我，住咗兩個幾月，終於搵到份工。」
他說，經此一役，對牧師深藏一份感激，去年暑假他往立陶宛參加夏令營，認識 CS網站，回港後立即加入，並將藍田住所開放給其他會員免費住，「我自己好鍾意自助遊，加上為咗報答牧師借宿恩情，決定開放屋企畀其他會員住。」
阿斌還會煮早餐供沙發客享用，以及帶他們行山等。至今莊宅已有 17名不同國家的沙發客入住，男女約佔一半。記者登入阿斌的 CS個人專頁，不但獲宿友一致留下正面評價，更獲七個誠信勳章。

話你知：免費註冊會員逾 130萬

CouchSurfing借宿網由美國人芬頓（ Casey Fenton）創立。事緣他 2000年由波士頓乘廉航到冰島自助遊，但當地物價驚人，為解決住宿問題，他向當地 1,500名學生發電郵求助，結果接獲逾 50人願意空出沙發讓他留宿。屋主更充當免費導遊，帶他到處觀光。芬頓回國後決定創立 CouchSurfing.com借宿網， 04年正式運作，歡迎任何人註冊，費用全免，迄今逾 130萬名會員，遍佈全球 232個國家和地區，是全球最大規模借宿網站。
想借宿或提供「沙發」收留背囊客，只要在網站登記，創立自己的頁面及提供個人資料等。網站有留言等制度，屋主或借宿者可寫下意見，讓其他人參考。

今天終於的起心肝去剪頭髮了, 而家真係覺得十萬個清爽。

本人有個怪習慣, 每次去剪髮唔會純剪髮, 通常都會電埋負離子~所以會等好耐先剪一次頭毛....

夏天天氣悶熱, 頭頂厚厚ge頭髮ok令我痛苦, 但講左成個夏天都未去剪.... 又, 整負離子閒閒地都要2-3個鐘,

遇著手勢唔好ge師父拉直頭髮ge過程真係痛不欲生, 簡直係活受罪+真正ge貼錢買難受...(係誇張左少少)

今日唔駛補習, 又就黎開學, 所以都係去整啦... 4點幾出門口, 8點先搞掂....

 

近況: 私補, student helper(data collection), buzzer beat, 福氣又安康

Today I went to a language exchange gathering, which was held by a group of dedicated language lovers, with Lilian in CityU canteen. The meeting time was 2:45pm and the meeting place was in front of TASTE, but we arrived early. We peeked from time to time and saw some people standing in front of the escalator. I recognized one guy from the group because I have seen him on facebook. But we were so nervous that we walked pass them like one or two times but dared not to greet them. Finally, we decided to take one big step and said 'hi' shyly.

Things didn't start great. We were nervous and didn't know what to say while we were waiting for the others to come. And Lilian seemed to lose her interest already before things really got started. We chatted with some people and got relaxed a bit. Later, we moved to CityU canteen. I was very scared because I didnt know anyone there (apart from Lili) and wasnt sure what's going to happen.

People were divided into groups and different groups occpuied different tables. We were, of course, stayed in the English table. It always seems to be quite silly for an English major to appear in such occasion because I am supposed to be well enough or at least, capable of speaking the langauge fluently and confidently. Frankly speaking, I am not so I need a lot of chances to practise. We started with simple self-introduction. Then, we played games.

The game was fun and good because it got everyone involved. It's a story-making-and-telling game. Everyone takes turns to make one sentence in order to form a story. We came up many weird ideas and laughed. The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed when it's not my turn (because I dont have any creativity~:P). After several crazy stories, we moved onto some more serious topics of English. That's fun as well.

I really like this kind of activities. Learning as well as having fun. And it's a very healthy way to meet new people. I do appreciate the effort of the organizers and the facilitators of different tables.

Next event of the Hong Kong Language and Culture Exchange Club will be Sip 'N Social. I doubt if I would go because it's quite late at night and the location is in LKF. So I may wait till another time.:-P

openrice...一個我每次睇完都會勁囉囉luen ge網....

之前成日做paper ge時候做到半夜, 悶悶地就上openrice, 見到d好似勁好味ge野食時,

就會好開心, 然後因為冇得食又好唔開心...係張床度碌黎碌去...>_<

好想食好野呀!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

唉…什麼叫「樂極生悲」, 今天是切切實實的體會到了=_=

我遭單車禍了啦!!!!!!!!(還有irene...= =) 結果就這樣毀了大家一整天的好心情…

話說我們今天去騎腳踏車, 往大埔到大圍。

就在往大圍最後的一段路, 下坡的時候, 因為剎車不及, 整個人就往鐵欄杆直直的撞過去, 連人帶車翻了。

撞到的那一下, 眼前一黑, 直冒金星, 整個右半身動不了, 只感覺右手一直在抖, 也呼吸不到。

一直聽見同伴和路人問我有沒有事, 可是因為我吸呼不了而說不到話, 只能大大的喘粗氣。

(之後聽anna說我發出了奇怪的聲音= =)

結果坐在地上好一陣子才能站起來, 右上身一直隱隱作痛, 手也不能完全提高。

之後的路就一直用推的。好像闖了禍似的, 大家都不說話, 氣氛超詭的。

 

現在手臂除了幾條血痕, 還發紫和腫起來了, 整隻就像一條微紫的白蘿蔔。

肋骨隱隱作痛, 做什麼也必須慢動作。

啊, 原來右腳也擦傷了。

 

我這個夏天已經仆了兩次街了!!! T口T

好累好累, 當晚昏睡了12個小時。

幸好睡前在肩位貼了舒緩鎮痛的膠布, 不然今天要多難過有多難過。

收穫:

• 陪你到最後（作者：瑞．科倫）
• 妳離開以後（作者：瑞．科倫）
• The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
• A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks
• The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
• The Pact by Jodi Picoult
• The Complete Novels of Jane Austen

共費約$400…比想像中多, 但還是覺得值得。

最划算要是"The Complete Novels of Jane Austen", 1431頁共8部小說只售$77…撿到寶XDDD

雖然豬流感橫行, 但係真係好想去旅行
尋日身痕上網睇下d機票, 去台灣7日來回包稅都係hkd$12xx咋

不過其實最想去ge, 都係一d english-speaking countries!!

Only one final exam left, OUTLINE OF CHINESE CULTURE on 8th May

不是自以為是。
只是最近煮得比較不頹的一餐。(雖然是罐頭粟米XDDDDDDD)

黑色一點點的是黑椒啊, 不是曱X屎...XDDDDD

我真係想好好咁UTILIZE個暑期, 所以之前APPLY左都唔少活動
有三星期德國社會探索之旅啦(INTERVIEW衰左冇得去),

而家兩個都叫我去IN, 仲要係今日SEND E-MAIL黎叫我聽日覆果種咁急,

但係...!!! 點解D PROGRAMME D時間要OVERLAP晒呀!????
點解大學GE暑期得兩年比我玩???!!!
之前就報咩冇咩, 而家就好似咩都有D機咁...好煩呀...>_

女人果然是要需要SHOPPING的動物, REBECCA的OBSESSION也不無原因。
明明明天有一個TEST一個PRSENTATION, 而進度只有20%的時候, 我竟然去逛街了。
而且是自己一個。嗯, 我想我壓力有點大。(不停地JUSTIFY自己的行為...ORZ)
在沙田新城市中心抬頭一望, 看到光亮美麗的櫥窗,
真覺得自己置身於A WORLD OF PLEASURE, 真正有ALIVE的感覺。
再一次痛恨自己非含著金鑰匙出生, 一下都不能INDULGE自己。

Finally...:)



Finally got the ticket from Carly, this will be my first opera...
time to be more literary...:P

好罪惡呀!
放長假番屋企真係好食好住到死左
餐餐都有人煮好放係廚房中意幾時食就幾時食, 結果一日3餐食到足(仲可能有突),
比起係宿舍有時一日一餐而家真係好罪惡呀!
明明我應該好多野做忙到抽筋, 但係我一d野都做唔到,
成日只係睇左50pages ge "pilgrim's progress"...聽日仲要唱k
但係我下星期應該會忙到暴斃....

Yes! I am going to Sichuan this summer from 20 Jun to 26 Jun, to pay a visit to the people who suffered from the 512 earthquake in 汶川...

It is a very meaningful activity and I know I can gain a lot from this.:)
