AIT臉譜系列
每年夏天是AIT送舊迎新的季節。有些AIT官員長年派駐亞洲，但對於另外一些人而言，台灣是他們第一次的亞洲經驗。我們想利用接下來的幾週時間，為大家推出「AIT臉譜」(#FacesofAIT) 系列，由AIT的成員親自跟大家分享他們在台灣的所見所聞。今天首度登場的是：
「台灣有許多遠近馳名的天然美景，比如太魯閣國家公園和日月潭，或是玉山山頂的風景，都讓我驚艷不已。但是我在台灣最難忘的回憶，都是一些安靜而偏僻的角落，例如我在小金門發現的無人海灘，澎湖虎井嶼的狹長海岸吹來陣陣海風，龜山島悉心保育的自然生態，或是蘭嶼的純樸之美。我特別喜歡在淡季的時候，這些小島上冷清平靜的風景。我想即便我離開台灣很久之後，我還是會記得這些島上，灰色的天空與藍色的大海、或綠油油的大地連成一片的景象，創造出一種恬靜的氣氛，讓人忘卻台灣本島日常生活的喧囂。」-- 柯有為
Faces of AIT
Here at AIT, the summer is a time to bid farewell to departing officers and welcome new friends to Taiwan. Some officers have been in Asia for years, while for others, coming to Taiwan is their first experience in Asia. Over the next few weeks AIT will share our #FacesofAIT series. Join us to hear directly from members of the AIT community as they reflect on their experiences in Taiwan. Our first post is below.
“I’ve been fascinated by the beauty of Taiwan’s most well-known natural wonders, such as Taroko National Park and Sun Moon Lake, or by the view from the top of Jade Mountain. But my fondest recollection of Taiwan’s beauty is that of quiet, remote places in its far-flung corners, for example the empty beaches I discovered on Little Jinmen, the wind-swept vistas of Hujingyu in the Penghu archipelago, the well-protected nature reserve that is Turtle Island, or the raw beauty of Orchid Island. I’ve especially been taken in by the cool, calming colors of these tiny islands in the off-season, when few people are present. Long after I leave Taiwan, I’ll always remember how, in each of these places, the grey skies merged with the aquamarine of the sea and the green lushness of the landscape to create an atmosphere of stillness and serenity, far away from the hustle-bustle of everyday life on Taiwan.” - Bill #FacesofAIT
