關注Winny的部落格與臉書 Travel with Winny 一起跟昀去旅行 大約有兩年左右的時間,當時看到朋友分享她寫南極last minute ticket的攻略文,圖文並茂,把步驟與注意事項整理得很清楚,而且還有資訊同樣詳盡的英文版,當下覺得這也太厲害了吧,我光寫完中文就很耗心思了,她還切換成另一種語言寫作!
看她其他篇文章才知道,原來Winny在國小的時候舉家移民到紐西蘭,中英文對她來說都是母語(但我的話應該還是寫完一種語言就累了)。和爸媽一樣熱愛旅行的她,畢業後搬到薪水比較高的澳洲,為自己的環遊世界計畫儲備資金,也在當地遇到男友York。不願意因愛情放棄夢想的她,對York提出「不願意陪她環遊世界就分手」的要求,結果York答應和她一起圓夢,兩人在在澳洲多待一年存錢後,就以未婚夫妻的身分,帶著8公斤的行李,踏上長達一年的婚前蜜月。
兩人的腳步橫跨南美、南極、歐亞一共35個國家,Winny對旅遊資訊的整理很在行,書中有相當豐富且清楚的資訊,告訴大家如何規劃長達一年的環球旅行、如何打包行李,尤其是很厲害的8公斤行李打包術。把行李限縮在8公斤以內,不僅能輕便旅行,還能在搭乘廉價航空時省下另外購買託運行李的錢。不過這也要視旅行的季節與前往的國家氣溫如何,像我之前環球的時候歷經近9個月的深秋與冬天(飛到南半球時正要入冬,飛往北半球過兩個月的夏天,又入境高緯度國家),加上保暖衣物與睡袋,就得用60升的背包才裝得下。厚重衣服穿上身的時候不覺得重,在7月酷熱的西班牙背著沉重背包,在階梯超多的古城找住宿就很折磨。
York是歷史迷,他們的旅行紀錄也中有很多對當地歷史人文的描述,我和B先生之前去蜜月,也有參考他們寫波士尼亞與蒙地內哥羅的網誌。喜愛嘗試各地美食,還曾經營過美食部落格的他們,平日雖然會在青年旅館自己煮省錢,但也樂於嘗試路邊的小吃料理,以及知名的米其林餐廳,愛美食的話可以跟隨他們的腳步試試。
和另一半一起旅行並沒有想像中浪漫,由於頻繁移動且突發狀況多,再怎麼親密的人也不免吵架。Winny與York在旅途中摔壞相機、掉手機,都是可能爆發衝突且吵個沒完的事。不過大概是個性互補的關係吧,吵架吵完,他們還是一起走完全程,兩人前陣子剛完婚,Winny把旅程出版《地心引力抓不住的冒險家》,York還在後記寫下「我願意這輩子都和她一起旅行」,超甜的啊!我拿這個問題問B先生,他竟然說「蛤?妳為什麼一直想出去?」答非所問呀!

《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.
