Kenya trip- My first adventure to Africa
7•28•2012 Leaving LA
離洛航向東或西
橫豎不止幾萬哩 (8554+2000)x2
首訪中東與非洲
路遠超過回故里
After watching the movie 秋瑾 at long flight
秋瑾豪搧革命火
當今悲憫何所托
兩岸各立互不認
紅藍綠橘黨勝國
First impression on Dubai stopover
機場廣闊設備多
往來旅客真熱絡
各色人種全都有
還有黑縵女忍者
On plane to Nairobi
First night at Nairobi
房間設備算五星
全團晚到時間緊
旅途勞頓難好睡
最是遺憾網路停
7.30.2012 Monday Going into the safari
征非首日郊區行
六人小巴一路進
滿眼玉米與叢林
更見多處土木興
窮困世界景觀同
不論肯亞或廣東
天地分配哪原則
人種資源都不公
（I do feel God is not fair to them)
泥凸路上老車奔 (many bums on road
眾人顛簸欲斷魂
總算到達甜水鎮 (sweet water conserv.)
喜見動物續現身
(that's where the fun of this trip begins)
首見野豬羚羊群
還有珍鳥斑馬陣
大象犀牛與水牛
五獸其三已見成
(5 beasts here are elephant,buffalo,rhino,
Lion and leopard)
Visiting inhabitant of chimpanzee
One of the chimpanzees named Oscar stayed close to visitors, sometimes hit the electric wire fence with a branch to show off, while I was electric shocked when taking photos of a baby chimpenzee and my little finger accidentally touched the wire. A good strong hit that almost paralyzed that little finger....
全區唯牠免覓食（they are fed here)
搔首擺姿無雅俗. (one even scratch ass)
牠能玩網我被電
看來我比牠儍呼
On the night lodging in tent house：
夜宿帳房真新鮮
旅宿用物沒缺欠
氣溫變冷湏保暖
期待半夜獸現前
半夜三更起尋探
風呼樹嘯人覺寒
只見群禽縮頭睡
還有兩鹿近身看
（only a ditch or fence away)
7-31-2012 To Lake Nakuru
Breakfast dishes includes 雞胗 which is pretty tasty. Cold before sun comes up. An hour of bumpy country road again
before more stable civilized road. Soon we drove into the African "massage roads". About past midday we finally arrived Nakuru Lake to check in Hotel Sarova and had lunch. After that we went out to the lake beaches to see what we were attracted here to see.
主題火鶴聚湖邊
可惜量少不遮天 (said only 1/10 here!)
更多飛禽與走獸(buffalo/zebra too many!)
最後喜見獅王臉
惜慳火鶴飛蔽天
喜見趣味鏡頭現
先有公羚大火拼
又見獅王在大便
August 1st, 2012
On the rest stop to Masaimara we bought a black wood rhino and elephant at $15 each. I thought I got a good bargain. However, with the later shops, prices turn cheaper, and the last hotel offers the cheapest. Sigh! It is a different world, anyway!
On the bumpy road to Masai Mara
荒原石路灰滿天
車群馳奔全身顛
笑言體內若結石
可能震落速復原
On the game drive day
牛羚遍布滿原野
獅群布陣待攔截
原始草原育群動
天然資源實珍貴
On visiting the village
烈日傍午訪布落
男跳女唱算一格
小禮贈予小朋友
群蠅纏身似不憂
On the disp
lay of dirt house
房舍簡陋徒四壁
食睡全在小屋𥚃
還留空房臥處傍
幼犢得棲安全地
My overall lament for the poor kids
富有清貧兩世界
文明落後是輪迴？
喜得人身竟若此
悠悠歳月何以度？
On the "hotel room" in Masai Mara
隱密林中夜聽溪
帳門紗牀浪漫地
熱水電力有時盡
夜半起身燈自提
August 2nd,2012
On the Balloon trip watching wildebeest migration
黎明時分氣球升
人擠竹籠賞奇景
蠻荒草原一目盡
百萬牛羚滿地奔
On wildebeest as a major animal specy
體壯量眾頭角鋭
百萬移動最雄偉
可惜遇襲各自潰
淪為肉食供應隊
Overall
非洲草原天然地
蒼茫世界眾生棲
環環相扣食物鍊
繁殖天葬永不息
August 3rd
Another bumpy massage of ＂Kenya massage" for 2 Hours，the city that divides pavedway and barbaric road is Narok. 納洛鎭
納洛為界百里路
土石顛簸最辛苦
臆測故此卻人群
長保草原天然姿
On Acacia trees, the tree that feature Africa safari
天地接一線
草原連到邊
偶有孤立樹
群獣作棲點
堅野孤樹為䕶身
樹龫高直佈長針
嫰葉供應立身獸
枝椏支撐鳥巢根
凱林博物館 (Karen Blixen Museum)
丹麥名媛來肯亞
出入非洲事蹟佳
部族感念成傳奇
凱林此名最傳揚
On giraffe museum
頂天立地髙君子
上高下低好覓食
先前攝影嫌太遠
今日舌吻氣息間
Dinner at 食人族餐廳（Carnivore Restaurant) at Nairobi
終得盛宴非自助
烤肉紅酒慶生日
隊員彼此得聊敘
可惜旅程將結束
陽光慨供各飲料
隊友𣈱敘好情調
温醇老板人緣好
成功來自評價髙
Saturday August 4, 2012
Nairobi National Museum & snake park
最早人類出東非
頭骨收列稱科學
眾獸標本活靈現
包括彪豹未面會
旁館陳列有兩棲
蛙龜毒蛇與鱷魚
最是生猛眼鏡蛇
抬頭吐信欲襲擊
On Mada hotel at Jilima, Amboseli
Hot water at 6:30-8:00 PM, but atually just "not freezing" not hot at all.
Power off 12:00-5:00 AM, in which Grace panic for light at 2:00 AM as the hand-held lamp didn't work. A good taste of "total darkness" in Africa.
此処草原多老枯
地禿草黃少群鹿
但有冠鶴與象群
尤愛小象最超值
After dinner prepare luggages for returning home, with stopping overnight at Dubai. With all seen and done, it seems to be a relief to be home.
非洲最後蠻荒夜
奇聲異調似不歇
先似美人哼異調
再有鳥獸譜音諧
臨行好戲再重覆
群象奔行漫天霧
大象小解洪如瀑
斑馬鴕鳥來謝幕
Monday, August 6' 2012
肯亞之行今日止
臨走再嘗漫天土
非洲世界印象深
蠻荒八天超所值
Due to special occasion, our fleet went en route through
Namanga, a bordering town with lots of Muslim residents. It is a good relief that
the road of "African Massage" ends here.
On Mainland Chinese's uprising in wealth and its lack of manners:
It is surprisingly common that this expensive trip to Africa includes a lot of Chinese families that have kids among them. And more surprisingly, many of them look undisciplined or uneducated, but are actcually seated at the business class section.
On Starbuck's area while waiting for my flight to LA, I saw kids having fun at high noisees, which provoke some strange looks from other passengers. I couldn't help but went to tell one of the kids, who seems to be a smart girl. I said to her "小朋友,我們都是中國人，講話小聲一點，這裡是國際場合； Gladly the girl replied "知道了＂in a quite understanding and "awaking" tone. I feel good at what I have done, and just hope it made a valid improvement to change Chinese image, even though it is a very small case...
One last pleasant surprise,I found someone really "close" to me from our teammates:
團友耆老彭瑞斌 (Thomas Peng)
一路無緣聊生平
直到回航坐在側
才知系友兼近鄰
(台大經濟系，差21 屆，住附近 Chino.) Wow, I am 61, then he is 82! I wish I can survive such tough travel like him at his age! 加油!）
