#背包客的生存守則之一（上集）：『一見面就對你喊朋友的，通常...。』
一出曼谷機場，襖熱的氣溫和壅塞車流、紫色曼谷銀行標誌、獨特香茅草氣味，一瞬間讓人倒回數年前的回憶。
那年深夜的曼谷考山路街頭，泰國警察奮力壓住跳警車逃跑的我們，深夜路過的人煙不多，一群警察和我用不熟悉的英語交雜泰語驚慌失措地互相吼叫。
「快跑！」我按下車窗鈕翻出行駛中的警車，跌落在地上。
「趴下！再亂跑要拔槍了！」警察對我們大喊。

那年我只因為看了李奧納多演出的電影《海灘The Beach》，便獨自一人跑來泰國。深深著迷於那部暗諷烏托邦的電影和仙境般的海域，幻想徜徉在一碧如洗的晴空下，在湛藍海灘自由自在奔跑。
「Lady,dudu?小姐，搭嘟嘟車嗎？」
我穿梭在遊人如織、人山人海的熱帶島嶼，毫無例外的融入其中，如同每個來尋找心目中的「海灘」的遊客。
那一趟泰國沒有帶給我想像中的烏托邦，自己的浪漫對當地人來說，也許只是一個又一個會走路的移動錢包。我把大背包砰一聲放在沙地上，這裡不是我想像中的「海灘」。
拒絕掉第五十次推銷，那一晚我因島上旅館太貴而真的睡在海灘上。
結束普吉島行程，一路搭夜車北上前往曼谷，來到名為Khao San Road（考山路）的背包客天堂。
考山路是個四處充滿活力的區域，觸目可及背著大背包的旅人，每個旅行的人都有各自的目的地，有時候你可以輕易分辨一些派別，拉著行李箱度假的旅客、家族旅行團、看起來明顯是大學生的畢業旅行，有些則很好分辨，比如說穿著隨性搭配寬鬆垮褲，頭髮扎著辮子，走些民族風的嬉皮士，還有一些正在Gap Year的歐洲背包客，有的人一來到異國就開始放縱生命，飲酒作樂，有的認真按照安排行程逐步就班玩樂，有些為了尋找心靈中的什麼而踏上路途的旅人或單純流浪的背包客們，大多數都有些共通點，嚮往《阿拉斯加之死》那種浪漫、或是《革命前夕的摩托車日記》情懷。
而考山路，不缺對這片異國土地充滿期待洋溢活力的人們。
滿滿遊客的考山路龍蛇混雜，除了明目張膽在人來人往的景點賣些假證件小攤販，毒品也是暗地四處流通，我住的旅館通常是滿是打呼或腳臭的多人房青年旅館，背包客們沒有人真的介意，那是一個什麼都自由放縱和新鮮的生活。
才剛開始獨自旅行，整間旅館只有我跟另一位中國青年能夠講中文，很自然就混在一起，相約一起去吃宵夜，深夜的曼谷街頭，他講他的故事，我聊我的背景。
「真是羨慕，希望有朝一日我也能去台灣看一看。」他說，吃完當地的烤魚作為宵夜後。
那是我第一次知道一胎化政策可以用錢多買戶口，因為父母想要男孩，他是硬多生出來的孩子，他是這麼說的。
準備打道回府，這時，剛認識的新朋友，暫且稱他為小空好了，攔了一輛嘟嘟車。
深夜的曼谷街頭，這種摩托計程車11點過後對路上遊客更是虎視眈眈，急著摩拳擦掌把我們拉客。
「嘿！我的朋友！在找什麼嗎？」一位嘟嘟車司機親切上前，小空拉住把我，問了問回旅社多少錢，又對著嘟嘟車司機說竊竊私語了幾句
那年的我還分不出這句經典台詞背後經常沒有什麼好事。
那時候我還聽不懂小空要買什麼，只見司機交出一小包草葉，便隨處停在一個地方把我們丟下了。
「你剛剛跟他買什麼？」我問。
司機收了錢，隨處亂丟我們下車的地方甚至不是青年旅館附近。
「大麻。是大麻。在國內沒抽過，想買來試試。」他笑著說。
語音才剛落，轉角冒出了個警察，指揮我們停下來，搜身。
馬上搜出了他剛買的大麻。

阿拉斯加之死經典台詞 在 [分享] 《阿拉斯加之死》語錄- 看板movie - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
這是我從買來的外版DVD擷取出來的 :)
1.片頭拜倫的詩
《There is a pleasure in the pathless woods》
There is pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society,where none intrudes,
By the deep sea,and music in its roar:
Ilove not man the less,but nature more...
-Lord Byron
2.Chris給Wayne的訊息
Wayne,greetings from Fair banks!Arrived here two days ago.It was
very difficult to catch rides in the Yukon territory,but I finally
got here.Picked up a new book on the local flora and favna.I'm
prepared and have stocked all necessary comforts to live off
the land for a few months.Might be a very long time before I return
south.Just wanted to let you know,you're a great man.
3.在magic bus上刻的字
Two years he walks the earth.No phone,no pool,no pets,no cigarettes.
Ultimate freedom.A extremist.An aesthetic voyager,whose home is the
road.so now,after two rambling years comes the final and graetest
adventure.The climactic battle to kill the false being within and
victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution.(戰爭的高潮是消除負
面的人性並且成功地完成心靈改革。)No longer to be poisoned by civili-
zation,he flees,and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the
wild.
Alexander Supertramp,May 1992.
4.開車離家後的宣示
It should not be denied that being footloose has always exhilarated
us.It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppre-
ssion and law and irksome obligations.Absolute freedom.And the road
has always led west.
5.與Jan談話引用梭羅的句子
"Rather than love,than money,than faith,than fame,than fairness,give
me truth"
6.與Jan在戲水時的旁白
The sea's only gifts are harsh blows,and occasionally,the chance to
feel strong.Now,I don't know much about the sea,but I do know that
that's the way it is here.And I also know how important it is in life
nor necessarily to be strong,but feel strong,to measure yourself at
least once,to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human
conditions(從最原始的人類狀態去找尋自己),facing the blind,deaf stone
alone,with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.
7.Chris妹妹對於父親造成傷害的心境轉變
When they met,Dad was already married.And even after Chris was born,
Dad had had another son with his firt wife,Marcia,to whom he was still
legally married.This fact suddenly re-defined Chris and me as bastard
children(私生子).Dad's arrogance made him conveniently oblivious to the
pain he caused.And Mom,in the shame and embarrassment of a young
mistress,bacame his accomplice in deceit.The fragility of crystal is
not a weakness but a fineness.(水晶的脆性是來自它的細緻而非嬴弱。(意指
回復到水晶的本質)) My parents understood that a fine crystal glass had
to be cared for or it may be shattered.
8.Chris給Wayne的第二封信
Wayne,hate to think of a wild man like you in a cage.Tramping is too
easy withall this money you paid me.My day were moe exciting when I
was penniless.I've decided I'm going to live this life for some time
to come.The freedom and simple beauty is just too good to pass up.
(自由和單純太美好到讓我覺得倏忽即逝)
9.Chris在書上所得到"幸福的定義"
I have lived through much,and now I think I have found what is needed
for happiness.A quiet secluded life in the country,with the possibility
of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not
accustomed to have it done to them.And work which one hope may be of some
use.Then rest,nature,books,music,love for one's neighbor.Such is my idea
of happiness.
10.與 Mr. Franz的對話
(1)
I think careers are a 20th century invention,and I don't want one.(我認為
工作只是個二十世紀的發明，但我不熱衷於此。)You don't worry about me.I have
a college education.I am not destitude I'm living like this by choice.
(2)
I'll miss you,too,Ron.But you're wrong if you think that the joy life
comes principally from human relationships.God's placed it all around
us.It's in everything.(上帝把快樂放在我們周圍的每件事物中)It's in
everything we can experience. People just need to change the way they
look at those things.
Ron:But I wanted to tell you something.From the bits and pieces I put
together,you know,from what you told me about your family,your mother
and your dad.And I know you,ve got your problems with the church,too.
But there's some kind of bigger thing we can all appreciate,and it
souds like you don't mind calling it God.But when you forgive,you love.
And whan you love,God's light shines on you.
11.Chris最後的獨白
I have had a happy lifeand thank the lord.Good bye and may God bless all.
To call each thing by its right name.(在木板刻下的字)
