離島交通如何改善
台灣四面環海，本島和離交通主要是依靠海運或是空運。
前陣子我和朋友去澎湖玩，發現離島交通有些可以改善的地方。
例如：
1.空運方面：很容易受氣候因素影響而停飛，而且是小飛機，能載運的人數比較少。
2.海運方面：對台北人而言，要花費比較多的轉乘時間，因為必須到嘉義港才可以搭至澎湖的船。
所以我覺得可以改善的地方，可能是飛機可以改成大型的飛機，這樣乘載的人數較多就比較不容易受氣候影響停飛。(但可能會有機場停機坪的相關問題)
而海運方面，也許可以開發台北的港口，可以直接到各離島的船，節省北部居民的轉乘時間。
How do you improve the traffic between
Taiwan & the off islands?
Tawian has several off islands: such as PongHu, Kimen, MaZui.
In order to travel to these islands, you can take either airplaines or cruse.
For example, if you go to Ponghu by airplaine, it will take you 40 mins flight
time.
But if you go to Ponghu by curise, it will probably take you 2 hours.
However, the planes to the island may be cancelled due to weather condition(typhon…),
and the price is 2 times higher than by boat.
The cruse can deliver around 300 people, which is 10 times more than the
airplane.(small…..)
Although it takes longer time to travel, but it is safer and cheaper.
So how do we improve the traffic to off islands?
1. Change to bigger airplanes(波音747..): carry more
people, safer in bad weather
2. Instead of Port JiaYi & Kaoshoung(用手筆地理位置), I strongly
suggest that to built a new port in Keelong, it will save a lot of time from
people living in North part of Taiwan.
介紹搶孤活動
搶孤活動從清代開始，已經有二百多年歷史。
在台灣最盛大的搶孤活動是在宜蘭的頭城，在每年農曆七月最後一天(七月三十日)舉辦。
由頭城村村民使用木頭及竹子，建造一個高達十三公尺的平台，在束立的柱子上面綁著雞鴨豬肉肉粽米粉…等等食物。
參加比較的隊伍，要在塗滿牛油的柱子上，以疊羅漢的方式往上爬，將綁著的食物拔下，並且以最快爬到頂端拿到旗幟的隊伍為勝利。
這個活動是要人們體會孤魂野鬼搶奪食物的艱辛，並且祈求來年平安健康。
Grabbing From the Ghosts (不是鬼故事….開玩笑)
This is a very special tradition in Taiwan.
This event takes place from Ching Dinesty, it has been carrying on for 200
years.
Every July 30th, people who live in TouChing, Yilan will build a
stage with several 13 meters high
pillars on it.
On the pillars, a lot of food will be tied on it. Such as : Chicken, Pork,
Ducks, etc
Every pillar will be covered with butter all over it, to make it very smooth to
climb with.
People will divide into several teams, and try to climb on the pillar (+手勢).
They will climb in the position of one by one, trying to untie the food on the
pillar, and drop the food to people under the stage.
Whoever reach the top of pillar and gets the flag, will be the winning team!
So why the event is called grabbing from the hosts…
This event is to symbolized how the ghost has to try very hard to reach it’s food.
And hoping after the ghost eats it’s food,
will be happy and satisfied for coming year, and would not hunt people any
more.
