明天是開學日, 阿曄昨夜睡我宿舍. 大家都睡得沒有很好. 我6點多醒來, 用大同電鍋做了兩個雞蛋. 阿曄醒來我們吃了一個寒酸的早飯. 我也只有這些了.

昨天我和阿曄過了柏林之後又相逢了. 隔著一個宿舍的門我們看見了對方, 然後相擁. 交換了短暫分開中的旅程中的一些有趣的事情之後我們吃了旅程以來第一個我們一直以來負擔不起的, 完整的飯. 一個印度料理店, 在倫敦. 他堅持要請, 我想我也明白為甚麼. 像對Gabi說的, 有借有還, 緣份未完.

最後喝茶的時候, 他跟我說他在柏林時的一個惡夢, 也許是我們要開始各自旅程感覺到的慌張, 以致於夢見火車從明朗處開入了冷色的隧道, 大家都像死了一般, 使他驚醒.

來到倫敦的第一個夜晚, 也做了一個美夢:
我和阿曄來到了一個長滿東西的島, 夕陽使顏色變繽紛漂亮, 而我對阿曄說:" 就是這裡了."之後這個夢就結束了.

他離開的時候我們都非常得捨不得. 我們在地鐵站口說再見, 我不知道我們甚麼時候會見面, 就算會也不是最近了吧. 剛剛走得匆忙為了掩飾想哭的衝動. 阿曄的離開終結了我台灣的六年, 倉促與夢.

今天, 在倫敦, 阿曄走了, 我還在延續我的旅行, 數著日子到我有一天不會再去數. 在這裡, 就是這裡了.

Moving back to london and settling down, I have no more travel plan in recent days.

Yes, I simply want to settle down. However, I have to admit that I am terribly missing my dear friends I had spent most time with in my trip. Somehow I feel I myself become bigger inside even for some reason it was driven by controversies and contradictories that I had witnessed from my trip, of course, most of them are undeniably beautiful.

Back in London, I start to read the book list that I had collected from the people that I had met during the trip. Like an extension of the friendship, now the words from the book simply speak for them, and tell the following stories of these friends in a more intellectual way.

I still learning how to live my life in this strange place which never feel shame to show off its countless complexities like a beauty mirroring itself into an infinite way.

25 years old, the life has just begun.
