Life is an adventure. Take risks. 生活是一場探險，要懂得冒險。
After having breakfast with Yasmine, I went to the station to catch my train to Hamburg. I wanted to see my friend Bonnie, who I had met through the internet. She had been one of my podcast listeners and later joined my online travel club. She was in Germany because she had a medical exchange in Hamburg. Bonnie is from Anhui, China, and is a doctor who has a young daughter. When we first met, she had never been abroad however she was taking full advantage of the chance to see places in Europe. This experience had really broadened her mind and she credited me for inspiring her, which I felt really happy about.
和Yasmine一起吃完早餐後，我就去車站趕搭火車去漢堡。這次我想要見我在網上認識的朋友Bonnie，她同時也是加入我線上旅遊俱樂部的播客聽眾。因為有一個醫學方面的交換機會所以她來到了德國。Bonnie來自中國安徽，是一個有幼小女兒的醫生。當我們剛剛認識的時候，她還從來都沒有出國過，然而她現在已經充分的利用機會去看歐洲的許多地方。這個經驗真的讓她打開了眼界，她也將功勞歸功於我給她的鼓勵，這讓我十分地開心。
She had just visited Iceland hours before she came to pick me up at the station! It was amazing to see how she had transformed into a world solo-traveler and we were happy to finally meet up in person.
在她來車站接我之前的幾個小時才剛剛拜訪了冰島！真的很棒看到她轉變成一個環球的獨行旅行者，然後我們很開心終於見到本人了。
What should we have for lunch in Hamburg? We decided to eat some hamburgers to celebrate our first meeting there. After a delicious hamburger session, we were thinking of having a walk-around Hamburg. It was really cold and once again the hustle and bustle of the city made me feel a bit nauseous. I felt dizzy navigating myself on the subway system and it was at that point a German lady tapped my shoulder and asked us in Mandarin if we needed any help.
然而到了漢堡，我們中餐該吃什麼？我們決定去吃漢堡來慶祝第一次在那裡見面，再吃完好吃的漢堡之後，我們想在漢堡附近逛逛。那天天氣好冷，所以在城市裡的匆忙又一次讓我覺得有一點噁心。當我在地鐵裡面試著找路，我開始覺得有一點暈眩，就在這個時候有個德國的女士輕輕地點了我的肩膀，並且用中文問我們是否需要任何的幫助。
We were surprised and asked her to recommend a place to visit and help us buy subway tickets. We had a chat and the young German lady had been studying Mandarin for a few years. She even had a Chinese name, Li-Shan, and since she was also off work that day, decided to join us and showed us around Hamburg.
我們都挺驚訝，並且問她有沒有推薦的參觀景點並且幫助我們購買地鐵票，我們聊了一會兒，然後這個年輕的德國女士學中文已經幾年了，她甚至有一個中文的名字叫麗珊，她剛好已經下班了，所以決定加入我們並且帶我們逛逛漢堡。
It was really cold and rainy but it was so much fun to hang out with a knowledgeable and sweet local friend. Li-Shan took us to the pier and suggested that we get on a ferry boat, so we could see some sights without moving too much. On the boat while we were chatting with this wonderful lady, I couldn’t help but wonder how lucky we were in this strange country to meet such a lovely local who was eager to help us and who spoke our language!
那是個又冷又下雨的一天，然後和一個見聞廣博又貼心的當地朋友一起玩真的好有趣。麗珊帶我們去碼頭，還建議我們上渡輪，這樣我們就可以一邊看景色又不用一直走來走去。在船上的時候我們一直和這位好棒的女士聊天，我不禁納悶我們是多麼幸運能在一個陌生的國家，可以認識一個可愛又熱心幫助我們當地人，更不要說還是用我們的母語和我們溝通著！
Stay tuned…there’s much more to come!
In the next episode I’ll be sharing interesting Couchsurfing stories that occured in Hamburg, Germany.
