序: 另一個的1,250公里 / Prologue: Another 1,250 km

當讀者們看到這篇文章，奴奴已經去完第二次日本，騎著老婆Giant TCR完成了另一個1,250公里的旅程回來香港了！(但第一篇遊記仍然只寫到一半 = =")
When you're reading this article, little Slave is already finished my 2nd cycling trip in Japan by my Giant TCR road bike. (Though the blog of my first trip is still in progress = =")


回想兩年前的今天本科還未畢業，正策劃著人生的第二次單車旅程，萬分期待著......
As I recall, 2 years ago, I was still an undergraduate student, planning my second cycling trip to Japan.....


兩年後的今天用兩片公路車軚走過了日本超過3,000公里，又再回到現實努力工作著。享受過自由的空氣但記憶卻一點一點的流失著，所以難道我不應把這一切一切記下來，讓這些我踩踏過的地方隨著時間流失掉嗎？
2 years later, I have rode for 3,000 kilometers in Japan and starting my second job in my career. I would say it is quite enjoyable for both trips, but well, bit by bit, my memories keep running out. Am I going to do nothing and let this happen?


其實奴奴可以告訴大家，寫遊記是一件好痛苦的事。旅途中要為遊記取材以拍照，踩完80-90公里後又要在民宿/酒店花半個小時拼命回想一整天發生過的事作記錄；回家後更要整理和挑選合適的照片上載，最後記述甚至編寫一天又一天的故事......一切一切與工作一樣辛苦，而且是沒有酬勞的！(所以我很佩服3年前和我單車環台的基仔，可以在投入工作前把30天的遊記生動有趣地完成，我可以說：這是他引以為傲的大師之作！thz基仔)
Actually, blogging for cycling trip is a rather frustrating work - Taking photos en-trip for the blog and recording the day's interesting things in the nights were quite exhausting. You also have to edit those photo and select it and post it on the blog for composing good articles after getting back to your town, while doing these earns you not even a penny!
(That's why I appreciate Gabriel a lot, who accompany me for my 1st trip to Taiwan and record the whole journey after getting back to Hong Kong. I shall proudly say that blog is definitely his masterpiece!)


但是，為了使記憶不會流失，為了供出國單車旅行的車友多一份資料參考，為了推動單車旅行，我一定會把遊記寫完！今天，奴奴要勇闖新挑戰：兩篇遊記一起寫！雖然辛苦一點，但旅行同伴看畢後的感動，車友們的欣賞和鼓勵將會化為奴奴繼續寫下去的動力。就似單車旅行未到終點絕不放棄一樣，未完成自己的masterpiece以前我一定會繼續手握鍵盤寫下去的！
But I'll promise you here I MUST finish the blog - just because of saving the memories as well as providing another piece of information to riders who need it. Starting from today, I'll write 2 blogs IN PARALLEL for my 1st and 2nd trip in Japan. It'll be hell but the joyful face I look at my teammates after they read these articles would encourage me to finish my own masterpiece!


*鳴謝和我一起單車旅行的基仔、梅姐、阿武、Andy、Frank、Kevin，是你們令我的生命多加一份充實的內容，是你們令想旅行的車友多一項選擇，是你們為未能抽身用單車旅行的上班族們注入一份熱血，感謝！
Lastly I'm gonna pay my tribute to my teammates, Gabriel, Edmund, Kamo, Andy, Frank and Kevin, who went cycling trips with me. It's you who treated me priceless memories in my life, thank you very much!




*To English readers: Sorry to tell you that only prologue is translated at the moment as the translation process takes a longer time. It is promised that an English version will be provided after finishing the whole piece of work (Yeah, maybe it'll be next century lol) so please view the photos at this time.
