เส้นทางรถไฟสายทรานส์ไซบีเรีย
เส้นทางแห่งความฝันของใครหลายๆคน
วันนี้มีสองสาวอีกคู่หนึ่งได้พิชิตมันได้เป็นที่เรียบร้อยแล้ว
ใช้เวลาทั้งหมด 44 วัน จาก "ปักกิ่ง" สู่ "อัมสเตอร์ดัม"
"อย่าทำเพียงแต่ฟังเรื่องราวของคนอื่น แต่ให้ออกไปสร้างเรื่องราวของตัวเองด้วย"
น้องสองคนลาไปเที่ยวได้อย่างไร > น้องใช้วิธี leave without pay ครับ
ค่าใช้จ่ายทั้งหมดประมาณเท่าไร > 108,100 บาท ครับ
ฮาโล๋วววว พวกเราเพิ่งกลับจากการเดินทางที่ไกลที่สุดของชีวิต
ไปกันแบบสาวๆสองคนที่ไม่เคยแบกเป้เที่ยวที่ไหนมาก่อนเลย
จนสุดท้ายพิชิตเส้นทางรถไฟสายทรานส์ไซบีเรียทั้งหมด 44 วันจากปักกิ่งสู่อัมสเตอร์ดัม
.
มีหลายๆคน inbox เข้ามาถามทั้งในเพจร้าน และในเฟสส่วนตัว
เรื่อง ... “เราจัดกระเป๋ายังไง ทำไมเอาเสื้อผ้าไปได้เยอะจัง?!!”
เอาจริงๆมันเป็นคำถามที่เราไม่คิดว่าจะมีคนถาม 55555
คือมันอาจจะมีบ้างแหละ แต่ไม่คิดว่าคนจะถามเยอะขนาดนี้
.
.
เริ่มต้น เราอยากไปเที่ยวทริปนี้ เพราะเราอ่านหนังสือ
“ทริปในฝัน 41 วันครึ่งซีกโลก” ของพี่วินพี่โจ้
แล้วแบบเริ่มปิ๊งคิดขึ้นมาว่า เห้ยนี่เรามานั่งทำอะไรในห้องสี่เหลี่ยมเล็กๆวะ
ทำงานวนลูป วนไปวนมา ตื่นเช้า ทำงาน กลับบ้านนอน
เป็นแบบนี้ทุกวันมานานแค่ไหนแล้ว จริงๆแล้วเราไม่ใช่คนแบบนี้เลยนะ
ไม่ใช่คนที่ชอบอยู่เฉยๆ นั่งนิ่งๆ อะไรแบบนี้
.
.
เราชอบการที่จะไปเจออะไรใหม่ๆ เจอคนใหม่ๆ
เจอประสปการณ์ใหม่ๆ เราคิดว่า ถ้าเราได้ไปแบบนี้บ้างคงดี
แต่การจะไปเที่ยวยาวๆแบบนี้มันมีอุปสรรคหลายๆอย่างที่ทุกคนคงรู้ดี 5555
.
.
อย่างแรกคือ คนทำงานประจำอย่างๆเราๆ
เจ้านายที่ไหนเค้าจะให้ลาเกือบ 2 เดือน อย่างที่สองคือ ใคร
หรือเพื่อนคนไหนแม่งจะไปเที่ยวกับเราได้นานขนาดนี้วะ
.
.
เริ่มแรก เราโพสลงเฟสบุ๊คว่าอยากไปเที่ยวหวะ อยากไปแบบนี้
แต่เราไม่ได้คาดหวังอะไรมาก คนที่มาคอมเม้นก็จะเอออยากไปเหมือนกัน
แต่ไม่มีเวลาอะ บางคนอยากไปแต่ไม่มีเงิน บางคนบอกมึงจะบ้าหรอ
คุณหนูอย่างมึงจะรอดหรอ แต่มีเพื่อนอยู่คนนึงนางชื่อ ‘จีย่า(สุนีย์)’
ทักเข้ามาใน inbox เฟสบุ๊คว่า ‘ภัทร
พี่อยากไปอะ อยากไปเหมือนกัน พี่พูดจริงๆนะ ซีเรียส ไปด้วยกันไหม’
.
.
และพี่จีย่า เป็นเพื่อนที่ทำงานเก่า ที่ต่างคนต่างลาออกมาแล้ว
เคยเจอกันจังๆ คุยกันจริงๆ แค่ 3-4 รอบเท่านั้นแหละ
นอกนั้นก็คุยกันผ่านทางเฟสบุ๊คอะไรงี้ ไม่เคยคิดเลยว่าจะเป็นพี่จีย่าที่ทักมา
ถ้าถามความสนิทสนม ไม่เลย เราไม่ได้สนิทกัน 5555555
แต่หลังจากกลับมาจะเป็นยังไงก็อีกเรื่องเนอะ
.
.
ตอนนั้นในใจเราแบบเห้ยยย เราพร้อมมากเลยนะ
พร้อมที่จะไปกะพี่ทันที ใจมันไปแล้วเว้ยยย ไปถึงปารีสแล้ว
แต่ว่ามันยังติดอยู่อีกข้อใหญ่ๆอะดิ คือเราทำงานอะ
ทำงานแล้วจะไปยังไง นอกจากจะไปขอแล้วเจ้านายจะให้ไป
ซึ่งโอกาสในการได้ตอนนั้นคิดว่าริบหรี่มาก เลยบอกพี่จียาไปว่า
เอ่อภัทรอยากไปนะ มากๆเหมือนกัน แต่ต้องลองเสี่ยงตายไปขอเจ้านายก่อน
ว่าเค้าจะอนุมัติไหม
.
.
เราเตรียมใจอยู่นานกว่าจะกล้าพูดออกมา พูดอ้อมไปก็อ้อมมา
ก่อนจะแยบๆถาม ลองเชิงเจ้านายคนที่ดูจะใจดีที่สุดใน 3 คนว่า
พี่โจ้ขาาา น้องอยากไปเที่ยวแบบพี่ อยากไปบ้าง ไปนานๆๆ
หนูขอแบบ no pay leave ก็ได้ หนูอยากไปมากกกกกกกก ...
.
.
พี่โจ้เงียบไปซักพักใหญ่ๆ แล้วตอบกลับมาว่า .....
น้องลาได้เลยครับ ลาออกนะ 555555 ......
เอ่อ หลอกๆๆๆๆ พี่โจ้ตอบว่าบอกขอไปปรึกษาพี่อีก 2 คนก่อนนะ
เราก็แบบเออรอก่อนละกันอย่าพึ่งหวังไปเยอะ
ถ้าหวังมากแล้วไม่ได้ตามที่หวัง จะผิดหวังป่าวๆ
.
.
บอกตามตรงตอนนั้นไม่ได้หวังมากนะ แค่พี่เค้าไม่ด่ากลับมาก็ดีใจละ 5555
มันเป็นสิ่งที่แบบ กุไม่คิดว่ากุจะทำอะไรแบบนี้เลยอะ ทำไมหน้าด้านจัง
แต่ด้วยความที่อยากโคดดด ถ้าไม่ได้ไปจะดิ้น อะไรเบอร์นั้น
ทำให้เรามีความใจกล้ากน้าด้านไปขอ
.
.
หลังจากนั้นไม่นานๆ พี่ๆทั้งสามคนก็มาบอกข่าวดี ว่า... น้องไปได้ครับ
จำได้ว่าพี่เค้าบอกว่า ให้น้องไปพี่ก็ไม่ได้เสียอะไร
ให้น้องไปเก็บประสบการณ์ ได้มีมุมมองที่กว้างขึ้น เรานี่กรี๊ดอยู่คนเดียว
รีบโทรไปบอกพี่จีย่าว่าเห้ยพี่หนูไปได้แล้วนะ ได้ไปเที่ยวด้วยกันแล้ว
และเราก้ได้รู้ว่าเหนือฟ้ายังมีฟ้าหวะ มีคนดีใจกว่าชั้นอี๊กกกกกก
นางนี่ดี๊ด๊ากว่าชั้น 10 เท่าได้ 5555555
.
.
แต่ แต่ แต่ๆๆๆ อะไรรู้ไหม ก้างชิ้นโตตตต อีก 1 ชิ้นที่เราลืมไปซะสนิท
นั่นก็คือ คุณแม่จ้าาาา คุณแม่ที่หวงลูกยิ่งกว่าไข่ในหิน
ริ้นไม่ให้ไต่ไรไม่ให้ตอมมาตั้งแต่เด็กๆ จะขอไปต่างจังหวัดยังยากเล้ยยยย
ตอนนั้นพยายามนั่งคิด ว่าเราจะทำไงดีหละนี่จะพูดยังไงจะขอยังไงดีน้าาา
.
.
เราก็เริ่มต้นด้วยการชวนไปกินข้าวก่อน ให้ท้องอิ่มจะได้อารมณ์ดีๆๆ
แล้วค่อยบอกแม่ว่าเนี่ย อยากไปเที่ยวกับเพื่อนอะ แม่ก็ถามว่าไปไหน ไปกับใคร
ไปกี่วัน ไปยังไง ละเอียดมากเว่ออออ พอเราเล่าไปแล้วแม่ก็ถามว่า
ไม่อยากให้ไปเลย เราก็พยายามอธิบาย พยายามบอกว่าจะโทรหาบ่อยๆ
จะติดต่อทุกวันนนนะ ขอเถอะะะะะะ แม่ก็คิดไปสิ 2-3 วัน
แล้วก็กลับมาพูดว่าไปสิ แม่ห้ามหนูได้หรอ 5555555 แบบนี้
และแล้ววววว ก้างทั้ง 3 ชิ้นของเราก็หมดไป ได้เวลาเตรียมตัวแล้วสินะ !!
.
.
ตอนนั้นก็คุยกับพี่จีย่าว่าจะไปช่วงไหนดี หน้าหนาวดีไหม หรือหน้าร้อนดี
แต่ว่าไปเที่ยวเราก็อยากจะไปหนาวๆเนอะ
เบื่อแล้วอะร้อนๆ เหมือน ปททไทย 5555
คุยไปคุยมาสรุปได้ช่วง ปลาย กพ ถึง ต้น เมย
.
.
พวกเราใช้เวลา 1 ปี ในการศึกษาหาข้อมูล รวมทั้งถามข้อมูลเรื่องที่งงๆ
หรือไม่เข้าใจจากผู้มีประสบการณ์อย่างพี่วินพี่โจ้ด้วย
พวกเราเตรียมแผนการเที่ยว และพยายามจองทุกอย่างที่ราคาถูกที่สุดเท่าที่หาได้
รวมทั้งหาข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมเรื่องวีซ่าโครเอเชีย
และทุกอย่างที่คาดว่าอาจจะเกิดปัญหาเอาไว้ก่อนด้วย
.
.
เรากับเพื่อน พูดกับตัวเองเอาไว้ว่า เราจะไปกันอย่างสวยๆ
ชิคๆนะ หน้าต้องเต็ม ชุดต้องสวย ถึงแม้จะต้องแบกเป้ก็ตาม
จะไม่ไปกันแบบพี่วินพี่โจ้ เสื้อตัวเดียวตลอดทริป ไม่ได้จริงๆอะ!
.
.
ด้วยความที่เป็น winter และ spring ตอนต้น ตอนจะหาชุด
ก็จะเริ่มจากเช็คอุณหภูมิ ว่ามันจะอยู่ประมาณไหน
เช็คไปก็ได้ความว่า -20 จนถึง 15 องศาเซลเซียส
คือตอนนั้นชอคเบาๆ ชีวิตนี้ไม่เคยไปถึง -20 มาก่อนเลย
จะรอดไม่รอดวะเนี่ย ชุดก็ต้องหนาไปอี๊กกก แบกไปยังไงหละนี่
.
.
หลังจากนั้นก็มาดูว่าแต่ละประเทศควรจะใส่ชุดตีมไหนถึงเข้า
ชวนเพื่อนไปเดินซื้อที่ Platinum และ Siam ต่างๆ
พอเอาเสื้อผ้าต่างๆที่คิดจะเอาไปมาลองจัดกระเป๋า
ซึ่งตอนนั้นมีเป้ใบเดียวขนาด 60 ลิตร ซึ่งดูภายนอกโคตรใหญ่
ต้องใส่พอแน่ๆ 5555555
.
.
สรุปยัดไปยัดมา เห้ยทำไมมันดูเล็กกว่าที่คิดฟระ มันไม่พอเสียแล้ว
ขาดไปเยอะเลยด้วย 55555 เอาไงดีหละ ต้องคัดออกงั้นหรอ ไม่เอา ไม่ได้หรอก
ตอนนั้นคิดว่าชุดไบคาลชั้นต้องเป็นแบบนี้ ชุดที่ปารีสชั้นจะต้องเฟอร์แบบนี้
เลยต้องหากระเป๋าเพิ่ม เลยได้กระเป๋าลาก Carry On 22 นิ้วมาอีก 1 ใบ
.
.
พอลองจัดกระเป๋าใหม่ คือมันไม่พออยู่ดีเฟร้ย แบบตอนแรกยัดไปเต็มสตรีม
ขนาดใส่ถุงสูญญากาศแล้ว รีดแล้วรีดอีก ตอนปิดกระเป๋าแม่งต้องขึ้นไปนั่งทับ
แล้วมันเหมือนจะแตก ตัวลอคเหมือนจะเด้งหลุดออกจากกัน
มายก็อด ป๊าถามว่า มันจะแตกไหมลูก ลูกจะแบกคนเดียวไหวจริงๆหรอ
พอเราตอบว่าไหวมั้งป๊า ป๊าก็ส่ายหัวหน่อยๆแล้วเดินไป 55555
.
.
ตอนนั้นคิดว่าถ้ามันแตกระหว่างทางหละ ทำไง จบเห่เลยนะ
เอาออกหน่อยละกัน มันเอาไปหมดไม่ไหว แต่ก็เกือบหมดวะ!!
บวกติดกระเป๋าลูกที่เป็นผ้าไปด้วยอีก 1 ใบ เผื่อชอปปิ้ง เพราะในใจคิดว่า
เอาวะเดี๋ยวไปซื้อเพิ่มเอาก็ได้ เข้ายุโรปแล้วคงไม่ลำบากเท่าไหร่มั้ง 555555
.
.
ตอนนี้อยากพาไปดูกัน ว่า 44 วันของเรา ตั้งแต่ ปักกิ่ง จนถึง อัมสเตอร์ดัม
เราขนมันไปกี่ชุด แล้วมีชุดไหนที่เข้ากับเมืองไหนบ้าง ดีมั้ยย
ฝอยมาตั้งนาน นี่ยังไม่เริ่มเดินทางเลยนะ เราอยากให้ทุกคนได้อ่านโพสนี้
เป็นไดอารี่ชีวิตที่เต็มไปด้วยอุปสรรคอะไรต่อมิอะไรหลายอย่างมากมาย
เรายังจำความรู้สึกของทุกวันทุกเหตุการณ์ได้อย่างชัดเจนเลย
.
.
ถ้าทุกคนพร้อมแล้ว เราจะพาเดินทางตั้งแต่กิโลเมตรที่ 0 กัน แล้วหลังดูจบ จะได้รู้ว่า "ทรานไซบีเรีย" มันไปได้นะ... 😘

Halo we just got back from the longest journey of life
Let's go like two girls who have never backpack to travel anywhere before.
Finally conquered all Siberian Trans Trans Railways 44 days from Beijing to Amsterdam
.
Many people inbox to ask both on the shop page and personal Facebook.
About... ′′ How do we pack bags? Why do we take so many clothes?!!"
Seriously, it's a question we didn't expect anyone to ask. Hahahahaha
Well, there may be some, but I don't think that there are many people asking.
.
.
Started we want to travel this trip because we read books.
′′ Dream trip 41 days and a half hemisphere ′′ of Brother Win, Sister Jo.
And starting to crush, think what the hell are we doing in the small square room?
Keep working. Keep doing loops. Wake up early. Work. Go home. Sleep.
I have been like this everyday for how long it has been. I'm really not like this.
I'm not someone who likes to sit still and sit still.
.
.
We love seeing new things, meeting new people.
I think it would be good if I could go there like this.
But to travel for a long time like this, there are many obstacles that everyone knows. Haha.
.
.
First of all, we work full time.
Where is the boss? He will say goodbye for almost 2 months. Who is the second one
Or any friend who can hang out with me for so long.
.
.
In the beginning, I posted on Facebook that I want to travel. I want to go like this.
But we don't expect much. Those who come to comment will be well. I want to go too.
I don't have time. Some people want to go but don't have money. Some people
A little girl like you will survive, but you have a friend. Her name is 'Jiya ( Suni )'
Message me via inbox. Facebook says ' Phatthan
I want to go. I want to go too. I'm serious. Do you want to go together? '
.
.
And sister Jiya is an old workplace friend that everyone resigned.
We have met each other. We have talked for only 3-4 times.
Other than that, we talk via Facebook. I never thought that it would be Jiya who greeted me.
If you ask for intimateness, we are not close. Haha.
But after coming back, it's another story.
.
.
That time in my heart. Hey, I'm so ready.
Ready to go with me immediately. My heart is gone. I have arrived in Paris.
But it's still stuck. The big thing is that I'm working.
How can I go to work? Unless I ask, my boss will let me go.
The chance to get it. I think it's very dimmer. I told Jiya that.
Well, Phatthani is too hard. It's too much. But you have to risk your death. Let's ask
Will he approve it?
.
.
We have prepared ourselves for a long time. We dare to say it. Speak around and around.
Before being quiet, ask for a boss. The 3 people are the kindest people.
Brother Jo, I want to travel like me. I want to go there for a long time.
I can ask for no pay leave. I want to go there very much...
.
.
Brother Jo has been quiet for a while and replied.....
You can resign now. You will resign. Haha......
Well, it's fake. Brother Jo said that he told me to consult with 2 more people first.
We are like, wait. Don't expect too much.
If I hope for a lot, I won't get what I hope for.
.
.
To be honest, I didn't expect too much. Just that brother doesn't scold me back. I'm happy
It's something like I didn't think I would do anything like this. Why is it so shameless?
But I want to go. If I don't go, I will struggle with it.
Make me brave enough. I want to ask for it.
.
.
After a while, the three brothers came to tell the good news that... you can go.
I remember that brother said that he let him go. He didn't waste anything.
Let my sister go to experience a wider perspective. I'm screaming alone.
Hurry up to call sister Jiya that you can go now. We have to go to travel together.
And we know that there is still sky above the sky. There is someone happier than me. Haha.
This girl is better than 10 times more than 5555555
.
.
But but but but what? You know, another 1 pieces of toothpaste that I completely forgot.
That's the mother. The mother who cherish the child more than the egg in the stone.
I won't let you climb anything. I won't let Tom come since I was young. It's difficult to ask to go to other provinces.
At that time, I tried to think about what I would do. What should I say? What should I ask for?
.
.
We start by inviting you to eat before you have a full stomach. You will have a good mood.
Then tell mom that I want to hang out with friends. Mom asked me where I went with anyone.
How many days I have gone? It's very detailed. When I told you, mom asked me.
Don't want to leave. We try to explain. Try to say call often.
I will contact you every day. Please, mother, just think about it. 2-3 days.
And come back to say go. Mother can't stop me? Haha.
And finally, our 3 bones are gone. It's time to prepare!!
.
.
At that time, I talked to Sister Jiya about where to go. Should I go to winter or summer?
I want to go to travel. It's cold.
I'm bored. It's hot like Thai PTT. Haha.
Talked and talked to the conclusion. The end of Feb to Ton May.
.
.
We spent 1 years studying and asking for confusing information.
I don't understand from an experienced person like Brother Win, Brother Jo.
We prepared a trip plan and tried to book everything the cheapest possible.
Including finding out more about the Croatian visa
And everything expected to be a problem.
.
.
Me and my friend said to myself that we will go nicely.
It's chic. Face is full. It has to be beautiful even if I have to carry backpack.
I won't go together like Brother Win, Brother Jo. One shirt for the whole trip. Really can't!
.
.
With winter and early spring, I will find a dress.
Let's start by checking the temperature of how it is.
Check it out-20 until 15 degrees Celsius
I was shocked back then. I haven't reached-20 in this life.
I won't survive. The dress has to be thick. How can I carry it?
.
.
Afterwards, let's see which batting suit each country should wear.
Invite friends to buy at Platinum and Siam.
When I take clothes that I want to take, I try to pack my bags.
There was only one backpack, 60 liters that looked outside, so big.
Must wear enough lol
.
.
In summary, I stuffed it. Why does it look smaller than I thought? It's not enough.
There are plenty of them missing. Haha. What should I do? I have to remove them? I can't take them.
I thought my bikal dress would be like this. The dress in Paris would be like this.
I need to find more bags. I got 1 inch Carry On bag.
.
.
When I try to pack a new bag, it's not enough. It's like the first episode. Stuffed to the stream.
Even in vacuum bag, ironing and ironing. When I close the bag, I have to sit on it.
And it seems to explode. The lock seems to bounce apart.
My goddess. Father asks if it's going to explode. Can I carry it alone?
When I say that I'm okay, dad and dad will smh a bit and walk away hahaha
.
.
I thought if it broke on the way back then. What should I do? It's done.
Let's take it out. I can't take it all. But it's almost gone!!
Plus, I have 1 bags of clothes that are fabric. In case I'm shopping because I think that I think that I'm in
Oh. I will buy more. I will get into Europe. It may not be too difficult. Haha.
.
.
Now I want to show you our 44 days from Beijing to Amsterdam.
How many sets have we taken. Which one should match the city?
I have been shredded for a long time. I haven't started traveling yet. I want everyone to read this post.
A life diary full of obstacles to many
We can still remember the feeling of everyday, every event clearly.
.
.
If everyone is ready, we will travel from the 0th kilometer. After watching, you will know that ′′ Trans Siberia ′′ is okay... 😘

黃浩銘:
//法官閣下,我能夠參與雨傘運動,爭取民主,實是毫無悔意,畢生榮幸。我已花了最青春的10年在社會運動上,假若我有80歲,我仍有50年可以與港人同行,繼續奮鬥。要是法官不信,且即管以刑罰來考驗我的意志,試煉我的決心,希望我的戰友們在我囚禁的時候,可以激發愛心,勉勵行善,更加有勇氣和力量作個真誠的人對抗謊言治國的中共政權。
「希望在於人民,改變始於抗爭」,唯有透過群眾力量,直接行動,才能改變社會。8年前如是,今日亦如是。但願港人堅定不移,爭取民主,打倒特權,彰顯公義。自由萬歲!民主社會主義萬歲!願公義和慈愛的 主耶穌基督與我同在,與法官先生同在,與香港人同在!//
希望在於人民 改變始於抗爭
—雨傘運動公眾妨擾案陳情書
陳法官仲衡閣下:
自2011年你審理只有23歲的我,追問時任特首曾蔭權知否米貴涉擾亂公眾秩序的案件距今已有8年。在命運的安排下,我再次站在你面前,只是當你讀到這封陳情書的時候,我已經不是當年被你宣判無罪釋放的年青人,而是一個準備迎接第三次入獄的積犯。然而,今天我不是尋求你的憐憫,而是希望道明我參與雨傘運動,公民抗命的緣由,讓法官閣下可以從我的動機及行為來給予合理判刑。
8年以來,我們的崗位稍有轉變,但香港的變化更大,充滿爭議的各個大白象基建均已落成,更多旅客走訪社區,似是一片繁華景象,但同時,更多窮人住在劏房,更多群眾走上街頭,亦有更多我們愛惜的年青人進入監牢。從前我們認為香港不會發生的事,都一一在這8年間發生了。當我8年前站在你面前那一刻,我們都不會想像得到香港人可被挾持返大陸,亦想像不到原來有一天大陸的執法人員可在香港某地方正當執法,更想像不到中共政府除了透過人大釋法外,還可藉著「一言九鼎」的人大決定,甚至中央公函來決定香港人的前途命運和收緊憲制權利。
爭取民主的本意
民主只是口號嗎?當年,我痛罵無視100萬窮人及30萬貧窮長者利益,卻慶祝不知辛亥革命本意的前行政長官曾蔭權,並要求設立全民退休保障,廢除強積金,因此首次被捕被控。但時至今日,香港仍然有過百萬貧窮人口,超過30萬貧窮長者,貧富懸殊及房屋短缺的問題愈加嚴重。2014年,我見過一位75歲的伯伯跪在立法會公聽會向時任勞工及福利局局長張建宗下跪,懇求政府不要拆遷古洞石仔嶺安老院。2019年,我又見到一位67歲執紙皮維生的婆婆在立法會公聽會哭訴難以找工作,現任勞工及福利局局長羅致光竟然叫她找勞工處。為何官員如此冷酷無情?為何我們的意見均未能影響政府施政?歸根結柢,就是因為香港人沒有真正的選擇,喪失本來應有制訂政策及監督的權力!
所謂民主,就是人民當家作主。任何施政,應當由人民倡議監督,公義分配,改善公共服務,使得貧者脫貧,富者節約。今日香港,顧全大陸,官商勾結,貧富懸殊,耗資千億的大白象跨境基建接踵而來,但當遇見護士猝死,教師自殺,老人下跪,政府政策就只有小修小補,小恩小惠,試問如何服眾?由1966年蘇守忠、盧麒公民抗命反對天星小輪加價,乃至1967年暴動及1989年中國愛國民主運動,甚至2003年反廿三條大遊行,無不是因政權專政,政策傾斜,分配不公,引致大規模民眾反抗。2014年雨傘運動的起點,亦是如此。
多年來,港人爭取民主,為求有公義分配,有尊嚴生活,有自主空間,但我們得到的是甚麼?1984年,中英兩國簽署《聯合聲明》前夕,前中共總書記趙紫陽曾回覆香港大學學生會要求「民主治港,普選特首」的訴求,清楚承諾「你們所說的『民主治港』是理所當然的」。當時,不少港人信以為真,誤以為回歸之後可得民主,但自1989年六四血腥鎮壓及2003年50萬人反對《廿三條》立法大遊行後,中共圖窮匕現,在2004年透過人大釋法收緊政制改革程序,並粗暴地決定2007及2008不會普選行政長官及立法會。自此,完全不民主的中國立法機關-全國人民代表大會常務委員會掌控香港人的命運福祉,人大釋法及人大決定可以隨時隨地配合極權政府的主張,命令香港法庭跟從,打壓香港的民主和法治。
2014年8月31日,是歷史的轉捩點。儘管多少溫和學者苦苦規勸,中共仍以6月的<一國兩制白皮書>為基礎,展示全面管治權的氣派,包括法官閣下在內,都要屈從愛國之說。在《8‧31人大決定》之後,中共完全暴露其假民主假普選的面目,其時,我們認為對抗方法就只有公民抗命。
公民抗命的起點
違法就是罪惡嗎?我們違法,稱之為「公民抗命」,就是公民憑良心為公眾利益,以非暴力形式不服從法律命令,以求改變不義制度或法律。終審法院非常任法官賀輔明(Leonard Hoffmann)勳爵曾在英國著名案例 R v Jones (Margaret) [2007] 1 AC 136 案提出:「發自良知的公民抗命,有着悠久及光榮的傳統。那些因着信念認為法律及政府行為是不義而違法的人,歷史很多時候都證明他們是正確的……能包容這種抗爭或示威,是文明社會的印記。」
終審法院在最近的公民廣場案(Secretary for Justice v Wong Chi Fung (2018) 21 HKCFAR 35)亦道明「公民抗命」的概念可獲肯定(該案判詞第70至72段)。因此,亦印證我等9人及其他公民抗命者並非可以一般「違法犯事」來解釋及施刑。港人以一般遊行示威爭取民主30年,無論從殖民年代乃至特區年代,皆無顯著改進,今日以更進步主張,公民抗命爭取民主,正如印度、南非、波蘭等對抗強權,實在無可厚非。誠然,堵塞主要幹道,影響民眾上班下課,實非我所願,但回想過來,中共及特區政府多年來豈不更堵塞香港民主之路,妨擾公眾獲得真正的發聲機會?
如果我是公民抗命,又何以不認罪承擔刑責?2014年12月,警方以成文法「出席未經批准集結」及「煽動參與未經批准集結」在村口將我逮捕。2017年3月,警方改以普通法「煽惑他人作出公眾妨擾」及「煽惑他人煽惑公眾妨擾」提控。正如戴耀廷先生在其結案陳詞引述英國劍橋大學法學教授 John R. Spencer 提及以普通法提訴的問題:「近年差不多所有以『公眾妨擾罪』來起訴的案件,都出現以下兩種情況的其中一個:一、當被告人的行為是觸犯了成文法律,通常懲罰是輕微的,檢控官想要以一支更大或額外的棒子去打他;二、當被告人的行為看來是明顯完全不涉及刑事責任的,檢控官找不到其他罪名可控訴他」,無獨有偶,前終審法院常任法官鄧楨在其2018年退休致詞提及:「普通法同樣可被用作欺壓的工具。它是一種變化多端的權力,除非妥善地運用人權法加以適當控制,否則可被不當使用。」如今看來,所言非虛。
今我遭控二罪,必定據理力爭,冀借助法官閣下明智判決推翻檢控不義,但法庭定讞,我自當承擔刑責,絕無怨言,以成全公民抗命之道。
試問誰還未覺醒
我是刻意求刑標榜自己,讓年青人跟從走進監獄大門嗎?我反覆推敲這個問題。然而,我的答案是,正正是希望後輩不用像我此般走進牢獄,我更要無懼怕地爭取人們所當得的。縱使今日面對強權,惡法將至,烏雲密佈,我依然一如既往,毋忘初衷地認為真普選才是港人獲得真正自由之路。任何一個聲稱為下一代福祉者,理應為後輩爭取自由平等的選擇權利,讓他們能自立成長,辨明是非,而非家長式管控思想,讓下一代淪為生財工具,朝廷鷹犬。
主耶穌基督說:「我確確實實地告訴你們:一粒麥子如果不落在地裡死去,它仍然是一粒;如果死了,就結出很多子粒來。(《約翰福音》第12章24節)」沒有犧牲,沒有收穫。故然,我不希望年青人跟我一樣要踏上公民抗命之路,承受牢獄之苦,但我請教所有智慧之士,既然舉牌示威遊行均已無顯其效,公民抗命和平抗爭為何不是能令政權受壓求變之策?若非偌大群眾運動,梁振英豈不仍安坐其位?
刑罰於我而言,無情可求,唯一我心中所想,就是希望法庭能顧念75歲的朱耀明牧師年事已高,望以非監禁方式處之,讓港人瞥見法庭對良心公民抗命者寬容一面。美國法哲學家羅納德‧德沃金(Ronald Dworkin)在1968年論及公民抗命時(On Not Prosecuting Civil Disobedience),不但認為法庭應給予公民抗命者寬鬆刑罰,甚至應不予起訴。事實上,終審法院非常任法官賀輔明在2014年12月4日,即雨傘運動尾聲(已發生大規模堵路多日),佔中三子自首之後一日,接受《蘋果日報》及《南華早報》訪問時提到「抗爭者及掌權者均未有逾越公民抗命的『遊戲規則』,抗爭活動並沒有損害香港法治」,更進一步提到「一旦他們被判有罪,應該從輕發落,認為這是傳統,因為自首的公民不是邪惡的人」,由此,我期盼法庭將有人道的判刑。
法官閣下,我能夠參與雨傘運動,爭取民主,實是毫無悔意,畢生榮幸。我已花了最青春的10年在社會運動上,假若我有80歲,我仍有50年可以與港人同行,繼續奮鬥。要是法官不信,且即管以刑罰來考驗我的意志,試煉我的決心,希望我的戰友們在我囚禁的時候,可以激發愛心,勉勵行善,更加有勇氣和力量作個真誠的人對抗謊言治國的中共政權。
「希望在於人民,改變始於抗爭」,唯有透過群眾力量,直接行動,才能改變社會。8年前如是,今日亦如是。但願港人堅定不移,爭取民主,打倒特權,彰顯公義。自由萬歲!民主社會主義萬歲!
願公義和慈愛的 主耶穌基督與我同在,與法官先生同在,與香港人同在!

Hope lies in the people
Changes come from resistance
- Umbrella Movement Public Nuisance Case Statement
Your Honour Judge Johnny Chan,
It has been 8 years since I have met you in court. You were the judge to my case on disorder in public places. It was in 2011 and I was only 23 years old. I chased after the then Chief Executive Mr. Donald Tsang and asked if he knew the price of rice and whether he understood the struggles of the poor. Fate has brought us here again, I am before you once again, but I am no longer the young man who was acquitted. When you are reading this statement, I am a “recidivist”, ready to be sent to prison for the third time. However, I do not seek your mercy today, but wish to explain the reasons for my participation in the Umbrella Movement and civil disobedience, so that your honour can give a reasonable sentence through understanding my motives and actions.
Our positions have slightly altered in the past 8 years, but not as great as the changes that took place in Hong Kong. The controversial big white elephant infrastructures were completed. More tourists are visiting, making Hong Kong a bustling city. At the same time, however, more poor people are living in sub-divided flats, more people are forced to the street to protest, more young people are sent to jail. Things we wouldn’t have imagined 8 years are now happening in Hong Kong. When I was before you 8 years ago, we would not have imagined Hong Kong people could be kidnapped by the Chinese authority to Mainland China. We wouldn’t have imagined that one day, the Mainland law enforcement officers could perform their duties in Hong Kong. We wouldn’t have imagined, not only could the Community Chinese government interpret our law, but they could decide on our future and tightened the rule on constitutional rights through the National People’s Congress Decision.
The Original Intention
Is democracy just a slogan? 8 years ago, I criticised the then Chief Executive Mr. Donald Tsang for ignoring the interests of 1 million poor people and 300,000 elderly. I scolded him for celebrating the 1911 Revolution without understanding its preliminary belief. I called for the establishment of universal retirement protection and the abolition of MPF, and was arrested for the first time. Yet, there are still over a million poor people in Hong Kong today, with more than 300,000 of poor elderly. The disparity between the rich and the poor and housing problem have only become worsen.
In 2014, I witnessed a 75-year-old man kneeling before the Secretary for Labour and Welfare Mr. Matthew Cheung Kin-Chung at a public hearing in the Legislative Council. The old man begged the government not to demolish the elderly home in Kwu Tung Dills Corner. In 2019, a 67-year-old woman, who scavenges for cardboards to make a living, cried during the Legislative Council public hearing. She cried because it was impossible for her to get a job. The Secretary for Labour and Welfare Mr. Law Chi-Kwong simply told her to ask for help in the Labour Department. Why are the government officials so callous? Why have our opinions failed to affect the government’s administration? The root of the problem is that Hong Kong people do not have real choices, we have been deprived of the power to supervise the government and to formulate policies.
What is democracy? Democracy means people are the masters. Any policies should be supervised by the people, the society’s resources should be justly distributed to improve the public services, so that the poor is no longer in poverty. However, in today’s Hong Kong, the focus is on the Mainland China, there is collusion between the government and the businesses, there is a great disparity between the rich and the poor, and multi-billion-dollar big white elephant cross-border infrastructure are built one after another. Nurses die from overexertion at work, teachers commit suicide and old man kneels to beg for what he deserves. Yet, the government policies were only minor repairs here and there, giving small treats and favours to the people. How can you win the support of the people? From the civil disobedience movement in 1966 by So Sau-chung and Lo Kei against the increase of Star Ferry fare, until the 1967 riots and 1989 China Patriotic Democratic Movement, even the 2003 march against the purported legistlation of Article 23, they were all due to the political dictatorship, imbalance policies as well as unfair distribution of public resources. It is for these reasons that led to large scale protests. It is for the same reason that the 2014 Umbrella Movement started.
For so many years, Hong Kong people have been fighting for democracy. We demand a just allocation, a life with dignity and space of freedom. However, what do we get in return? On the eve of the signing of the Joint Declaration in 1984, the then premier of the Communist Chinese government Zhao Ziyang in his reply to the demand for democracy and universal suffrage by the University of Hong Kong Student Council clearly promised that ‘what you referred to, namely “rule Hong Kong by democracy” is a matter that goes without saying.’ At the time, a lot of Hong Kong people believed it. They thought they would have democracy after the handover. However, since the bloody suppression on 4th June 1989 and the 500,000 people demonstration against Article 23 in 2003, the plot of the Chinese communist revealed itself. They decided by force through the NPC interpretation in 2004 that there would be no universal suffrage of the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council in 2007 and 2008. Since then, the undemocratic authority of NPC kept a tight grip on the destiny of Hong Kong people. NPC’s interpretation and decisions can be deployed anytime when convenient to assist the propaganda of the authoritative government, forcing the hands of the Hong Kong court and suppressing Hong Kong democracy and the rule of law.
31st August 2014 was a turning point in history. No matter how the moderate scholars tried to persuade it from happening, the Community Chinese government has used the One Country Two System White Paper in June as the foundation and forced its way down onto the people. Even your honour was among them, succumbed to the so called patriotism. After the 8.31 Decision of the National People’s Congress, the plot of the Communist Chinese government has revealed itself, the Chinese government has been lying to the Hong Kong people, they never intended to give Hong Kong genuine universal suffrage. At that time, we believed that civil disobedience was inevitable and was the only way out.
The Starting Point of Civil Disobedience
Is breaking the law sinful? We broke the law with a cause, as “civil disobedience” is the refusal to comply with certain laws considered unjust, as a peaceful form of political protest in the interest of the public to change the unjust system or law. Non-Permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal Honourable Leonard Hoffman stated in the well-known R v Jones (Margaret) [2007] 1 AC 136 case that, “civil disobedience on conscientious grounds has a long and honourable history in this country. People who break the law to affirm their belief in the injustice of a law or government action are sometime vindicated by history. It is the mark of a civilised community that it can accommodate protests and demonstrations of this kind.”
The recent decision by the Court of Appeal concerning the Civic Square outside the government headquarter(Secretary for Justice v Wong Chi Fung (2018) 21 HKCFAR 35) also confirmed the idea of civil disobedience(paragraphs 70-72 of the judgment refer). This , therefore, confirmed that myself and the other 8 defendants as well as other civil disobedience protestors, should not be understood as “breaking the law” in its general circumstances, nor should our sentencing be weighted against the usual standard. Hong Kong people have been fighting for democracy through protest for 30 years already, whether it was during the times of colonial British rule or during the special administrative region, there has been no improvement. Today, we fought for democracy, just as the fights for freedom and democracy in India, South Africa and Poland, and civil disobedience is inevitable. It is true that we did not want to block the roads or affect Hong Kong citizens attending to work or school. But on reflection, didn’t the Communist Chinese and Special Administrative governments block our road to democracy and interfere with our rights to speak up?
If what I did was in the name of civil disobedience, why should I defend my case and not bear the criminal responsibility? In December 2014, the police made use of the statutory offences of “attending unauthorised assembly and inciting participation in unauthorised assembly” and arrested me at the village I live in. In March 2017, the police amended their charges to common law offences of “incitement to commit public nuisance and incitement to incite public nuisance”. As Mr. Benny Tai said in his closing submissions, quoting law professor of Cambridge University John R. Spencer on common law charges, “...almost all the prosecutions for public nuisance in recent years seem to have taken place in one of two situations: first, where the defendant’s behaviour amounted to a statutory offence, typically punishable with a small penalty, and the prosecutor wanted a bigger or extra stick to beat him with, and secondly, where the defendant’s behaviour was not obviously criminal at all and the prosecutor could think of nothing else to charge him with.” Coincidentally, the then Court of Appeal Honourable Mr Justice Robert Tang Kwok-ching stated in his retirement speech in 2018 that, “Common law can be used oppressively. It is protean power, unless adequately controlled by the proper application of human rights law, can be misused.” What he said has become true today.
Faced with 2 charges, I am going to stand by reasons and my principles, in order to assist the Court to overturn an unjust prosecution. However, should the court find me guilty, I shall bear the criminal responsibility. I have no qualm or regrets, in fulfilment of my chosen path of civil disobedience.
Who has not yet awoken?
I do reflect as to whether I am simply seeking a criminal sentence in order to make a point, or to encourage other young men to follow my footsteps into the gates of the prison. I have reflected upon this repeatedly. However, my answer is that, I am doing this precisely because I do not wish to see other young men following my suit into the prison. Because of this, I need to fight for what is ours fearlessly. Although today we are confronted by an oppressive authority, the looming legislation of unjust laws and a clouded future, I shall be as I always am: relentless maintaining my stance that a real election is the path to freedom for Hong Kong people. Anyone who claims to be acting in the interest of the next generation should fight for a free and equal choice for their youths. This is in order for them to learn to be independent, to be able to tell rights from wrongs. There should be no paternal thinking, simply teaching the next generation to be slaves of money and accessories to the oppressor.
My Lord Jesus Christ has said: ‘Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (Book of John 12:24.) Without sacrifice, there is no reward. I don’t wish to see any more young men having to join the path of civil disobedience as I did, and to pay the price as I did. However, I ask this of all men and women of wisdom: if peaceful demonstration in the old fashioned way has lost its effectiveness and was simply ignored, why is peaceful civil disobedience not a good way to bring about change whilst one is being oppressed? If not for this crowd movement, C Y Leung would still be sitting comfortably on the throne.
I have no mitigation to submit. I only wish that the Court would spare Reverend Chu, who is an elderly of 75 years of age. I pray that a non-custodial sentence may be passed for Reverend Chu. I hope that the Court will have leniency and mercy for Reverend Chu. I refer to the work of the American legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin in 1968, namely: ‘On Not Prosecuting Civil Disobedience’. He opined that, not only should the Court allow leniency to civil disobedience participants, but also should they not be prosecuted. In fact, Lord Hoffmann NPJ of the CFA stated the following in an interview with Apple Daily and South China Morning Post on 4th December 2014 (which was at the end of the Umbrella Movement, a day before the surrender of the 3 initiators of the Occupy Central Movement): ‘In any civilised society, there is room for people making political points by civil disobedience.’ ‘These are not wicked people.’ Civil disobedience had ‘an old tradition’ in the common law world. ‘When it comes to punishment, the court should take into account their personal convictions.’ In light of this, I hope the Court shall pass a humane sentence.
Your honour, I have no regret for participating in the Umbrella Movement and the fight for democracy. It was an honour of a lifetime. I have spent the best 10 years of my youth in social movements. If I can live up to 80-year-old, I would still have 50 years to walk alongside the people of Hong Kong, to continue the fight. If this is in doubt, please test my will against the whips of criminal punishment. I shall take this as a trial of my determination. I only hope that my brothers and sisters-in-arms can be inspired whilst I am imprisoned, to do goods and encourage others. I hope they shall have further courage and strength to be honest men and women, to fight against the lies of the ruling Chinese Communist authority.
“Hope lies in the hands of the people, change starts from resistance.’ It’s only through the power of the people and direct action that the society can be changed. This was so 8 years ago. This is still the case today. May the will of the people of Hong Kong be firm and determined, to fight for democracy, overthrow the privileged, and let justice be done. All hail for freedom! All hail for democratic socialism!
May justice and peace of my Lord Jesus Christ be with me, with your Honour and with the People of Hong Kong!

3am and I've been at the computer for the last couple of hours. It's my truly rare me-time and having battled high fevers, endless bickers and countless tantrums over the last solo parenting week, it's a form of destress for me to be able to just sit here.
That said, have I been blogging? Well, not really. I spent all the time following up on giveaways, generating winners, chasing for details, getting sponsors to correspond and annoucing the results on all the respective social media platforms. It takes time, lots of time. But I've said before, I find it a privilege to be able to do this and spread some love and joy to fellow parents out there. That is my main motivation to continue and will always be.
Just yesterday, I bumped into a reader who told me she was the winner of my 4D3N Club Med Cherating giveaway and told her two kids right beside her "There, we went to Cherating, stayed in Club Med and saw fireflies cos' of this auntie, you remember?". It felt so good, so so good when I know the little bit I have done for some parent or some kid out there. So thank you for saying Hi and for letting me know, it cheered my day up more than you know after having to handle two sick kids.
But truth be told, what I don't appreciate so much are people who hop by purely for the sake of giveaways, who don't bother to read the blog post on the requirements nor the review that I've painstakingly written, or those who don't usually drop me messages but do so just to chase for the results (I usually promptly announce them in a day or two). I feel bad not to reply, so I still have to spend extra time just to answer your query when the results are already posted.
Well, I hope that doesn't stop me from doing more reviews/giveaways because that will not be fair to those sincere readers who are always around and all they want is just to win a little something for their loved ones. Till more updates next time because guess what, the toddler just woke up and needs Mama (again!)

5 years and 7 months in Vietnam.
I wish I could live there longer, but in order for me to have the future that I want, I need to change the direction of my life and leave.
First, I have been living off and using the money I have made from teaching in order to grow my channel by constantly producing videos. It was an investment that hasn’t had much financial rewards, but I have gained priceless friendships and experiences. Everything happens for a reason. This lifestyle has been possible for the past few years when I decided to focus more on YouTube full time thing. However, it just hasn’t worked out as I thought it would. YouTube earnings are just too low. Other business ventures designed to keep the YouTube channel functioning has not been successful. I am not very good at business. T-shirts and tour endorsements have not been doing well and I refuse to be too commercialized on my channel and try to sell too many things because it takes away from my artistic commitments. Remember, I did YouTube for fun and to share moments with my friends and family. I want to return to those days where it was a hobby for me.
Second, my parents are getting older and so am I. As an only son, I have to own up to certain responsibilities and I cannot live a life and in a place that constantly worries my mother. Despite everything that I have shown and proven about how modern and safe Vietnam can be, even after hundreds and hundreds of videos of Vietnam, my mother still cannot be convinced. I am her only son after all. So in her eyes, anywhere but Vietnam, which is fine. Easing her worry would make her happier. Plus, with the recent deaths of my grandfather, cousin’s husband, and my uncle, it made me realize more than ever that reconnecting with my parents when I do have the chance is a smart idea.
Third, I am obsessed with progress. I want to develop myself professionally further. I want to obtain a master’s degree, I want to try background acting, I want to gain the skills that would make me a better well rounded individual and leaving Vietnam would give me different perspectives. I loved teaching and value education dearly. If the situation was right for me and conditions were more proper, I wouldn’t mind returning to it one day- but not in Vietnam. I’ve taught in Vietnam already. Change is good. And I know you guys think that I have an amazing dream life, and I really think so too, but it just wasn’t sustainable enough for me to risk my 30s unless something major happens. I know America or Europe might be boring, but it’s not to me. Not yet at least.
But, the bottom line is, I’ve done it. I’ve traveled extensively in Vietnam and have brought you so many new and familiar places. I’m proud of that. I’m proud that I was committed and passionate to something with vigor. Vietnam just wasn’t an experience for me. It was my life. I am so happy to have been able to share parts of my life through cinematography with you guys. Thank you for caring about me and if you hate my guts, then I still hope these videos over the years have been at least a little bit valuable to you as they have been to me and my life.
I am incredibly sorry if this news makes anyone feel disappointed. It was not an easy decision to make and again, I am so sorry. I still want to make videos as a hobby and not as a job. After so many years and almost two years of almost full time work, it just isn’t where I need it to be. So instead of riding the ship until it sinks or become stale, I rather change course. I haven’t been able to do that for myself now yet, so I want to pivot and change. I will try my best to release as many videos as possible moving forward because there is still a lot of great Vietnam related content backed up and waiting to be edited. However, in the future if I cannot consistently release videos- weekly or twice a month or something, then I will end my Patreon and no longer accept contributions for videos….Again, thank you to everyone who supported me on Patreon. Every dollar goes back to video creating. I have tried my best to keep doing this for as long as I can, but it is time for me to pivot. Not quit, pivot. Stay tuned many more videos coming your way! You don’t want to miss out!
I will also be in Italy in a few days. If anyone is in Europe, especially anywhere in Eastern Europe and can host me or just meet up and share stories with me, please reply back to this. The same goes for anyone in America as well. I will try to visit as many American cities as possible to understand America and Canada a lot more. If anyone can offer me a couch or even a floor, I would be much appreciative of that.
If there’s any questions or concerns, feel free to write me. Thank you again for your support. This is a very sad, scary, but exciting time for me and I sincerely appreciate you guys being a part of my life.
