Take a river cruise and visit quaint villages. 河上漫游和參觀古雅的村莊

It bothers me when people use words like adorable or quaint to describe a village like the one we visited, which might seem like praise but just comes off as condescending. And I don’t pretend that this wasn’t a tame way to rough it. Occasionally you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, and then you happen upon a roadside stand selling popsicles and a house with a satellite TV dish.

當別人使用迷人的、古雅的來形容我所去過的村莊，我總是會感到不安，因為它雖然聽上是一句贊美，卻讓人感覺像是一種居高心下的施舍2]b^@]z6!~pU4N。我也不會假裝過簡單的生活沒有它的乏味之處ZVc@!X[|Eoc2sqhYs9[d。有時候你感覺自己在一個無人之地，然后路邊忽現一個賣冰棍的小攤，或是一棟裝著衛星電視的房子!N|Julkx(gdKs=r6^nJ。

Still, I’d do this trip again in a minute, and would go for more than one night if I had the chance. I feel lucky that I went, and was happy to ditch the disorder of the city for the playground of the jungle.

我仍然愿意再來一次這樣的旅行ALD~@i9]9m#。如果有機會，我會待上更多個夜晚[Zzk2US)[^zi!!oM6*X。我很慶幸我去了那里，也對我放棄城市喧囂、投入叢林懷抱的決定感到滿意zgmiyvaHS+xIS*#。
