#古巴 #Cuba #TheLifeWithoutInternet (Eng. below)
若問我古巴最吸引的人的特點是什麼?我會回答「沒有網路」。
在古巴上網是一種奢侈品:這裡只有到特定的上網點,如高級酒店大廳、某一些公園、郵局才有公營的wifi。且必須購買上網的預付卡,一小時60-80元台幣,才能夠連上wifi上網。在城市裡上網卡還常常賣光。
因爲沒有網路,在古巴很少見到低頭族。大人們站在街上或屋簷下就聊起天,小朋友們在路上奔跑玩耍。吃飯的時候能看著彼此好好的吃,街上鎮上的人們彼此都很熟悉。少了手機與網路,人們之間的距離更加靠近。
在古巴少了各種訊息通知的干擾,頓時讓人覺得時間多了很多。沒有事情必須現在完成不可,世界的另一邊,少了自己照樣能夠運轉。所以那就放下吧,全心全意的感受當下,欣賞眼前的風景。
我愛古巴,因為它讓我學會放下,學會專注,學會活在當下的美。
The most attractive point of Cuba for me is “no internet”. It makes people talking to each other on the street, instead of texting on their phone. It makes kids running in the street, instead of playing computer or cell phone. No internet actually makes people closer to each other when there is no net connecting the other side. People talk and watch each other in the eyes while eating, which you don’t see it a lot in the cities around the world anymore. Without internet, there is no more distractions from the instant message, making people feel there is more time in their day. I love Cuba without internet. It teaches me how to focus on the moment I live in.
