Celine: I remember as a teenager I went to Warsaw when it was still a strict communist regime. Something about being there was very interesting. After a couple of weeks, something changed in me. The city was quite gloomy and gray but after a while, my brain seemed clearer. I was writing more in my journal, ideas I'd never thought of before. But it took me a while to figure out why I felt so different. One day, as I was walking through the Jewish cemetery. I don't know why, but it occurred to me there. I realized that I had spent the last two weeks away from most of my habits. TV was in a language I didn't understand, there was nothing to buy, no advertisements anywhere, so all I'd been doing was walk around, think and write. My brain felt like it was at rest, free from the consuming frenzy. It was almost like a natural high. I felt so peaceful inside. No strange urge to be somewhere else to shop. It could have seemed like boredom at first but it became very, very soulful.

同事旅行回來，令我也想到外地走走。八月時去了台北，短短三天半，離開香港的感覺剛開始，就是回家的時候。旅行的時候，我是那種希望四處走走看看就夠了的人，對吃喝玩樂沒有多大興趣。正如Celine所說，浸泡於陌生的地方，令思想沉澱下來，反而有點natural high的感覺。
情侶@台北九份 (2004)
上年十月北海道之行，旅程七、八天，最後數天就有這種natural high的感覺。那次匆匆的四處走，其實身體累得很，但心靈上的休息，我想在香港放多長的假期也及不上。年頭幻想過，今年年中可以一去Prague。可惜我一賺錢不多，二花錢太多，這個幻想實現之日遙遙無期……
小樽 ~ 《情書》拍攝之地理想是，每年也至少一次出門，很安慰這兩年也實現了這個想法。但說來慚愧，大小的英國music fest也未去過。希望未來兩年內，暑假可以一去英國的Glastonbury Festival就於我足矣。
