The Giver 的題材大膽獨特，很有「black mirror」的味道，是一本讓人閱後仍然滿腦子思緒的作品。這由得獎作家 Lois Lowry 創作，得到多個獎項，包括 Newbery Medal，也在 2012 年 School Library Journal 的 Top 100 Children's Novels 選舉中， 排名第 4。這是很多外國學校 grade 6 - grade 8 的指定讀物，但因為風格黑暗而深邃，內容涉及自殺、安樂死、社會主義政體以及殺嬰而受到家長的爭議。

主角 Jonas 生活於一個非常有秩序、和諧的世界。每個孩子從 Birthing Center 出生後，甚麼時候得到名字、入住或離開 Nurturing Center、分配一個陪伴入睡的 comfort object、入讀或離開 Childcare Center、分配去 family unit、掉棄 comfort object、開始 volunteer hours、9 歲會得到一架單車、到了 12 歲，按性格能力興趣態度，會分配到未來的工作而同時開展關於工作的訓練，然後社區會以最好配搭（the Matching of Spouses）來替市民分配合適的伴侶（Match）、組織 family unit、分配兩個孩子，到自己的孩子長大後，市民會遷去與其他 childless adults 一同生活，到喪失工作能力後，遷入 the House of the Old 直至被解放（released），全部皆有特定時序，由社區長老安排，人人一樣（sameness）。

所有 dwellings（即是家，但作者叫 dwelling 而不稱作 home）裝置雙向廣播器，提醒各樣規則、或責備市民犯下的錯誤，時刻監控每一個家庭的違規現象。這個地方，人們一直都嚴守規矩，服從指令，以禮相待。而氣候環境地形，也都因應種植農作物的效果或交通的便利而人工改變，沒有冬季沒有山脈，甚至市民連顏色也看不到，沒有顏色的選擇，因為禁止所有的選擇就能避免選錯的可能性。

孩子在 12 歳的慶典中，將會被告知自己未來從事的工作，打後不得隨自己意願改變，12 歲後孩子將會進行相關的學習與訓練。有的孩子被安排成為醫生、工程師、也有人當 nurturer 照顧 Nurturing Center 的孩子、在老人院照顧老人等，也有女生成為 birthmothers，但生完 3 個孩子後會自動成為 labourers，不得組織 family unit，直至老了入住老人院，老到衰弱就會被解放。剛 12 歲的主角 Jonas，竟然沒有被分配到工作，因為他被長老們揀選成為 the Receiver of Memories。

年老的、唯一的 the Receiver of Memories 得找繼承人，傳承這個 community 以前的回憶，那個有山有水有色彩有下雪有彩虹有家庭節日有祖父母團聚的世界，這個世界的經驗能讓長老們詢問意見，而最重要， 回憶交予 the Receiver of Memories 才不會散落在市民的心裡，他們無污染零混亂的世界承受不了真實世界的痛楚和衝擊。可是，得到回憶的 Jonas，不再一樣，他看見了顏色，便渴望有選擇；他感受到愛，拒絕服藥壓抑情感；而且他知道老年人、不達健康標準的嬰孩、三次違規的市民「被解放」去 Elsewhere 的殘酷真相，他終於明白政權為了維持秩序、和諧、社區的正面發展所用的非人道的監控手段。

受到回憶衝擊的 Jonas，他怎樣面對被 community 規劃的人生？結局留待你們自己去發掘。故事非常精彩，也發人深省，閱後複雜的思緒久久在腦海裡縈繞著。這書較適合初中生以上的讀者。

This new kebab joint in town along Sukumvit Soi 22, fascinatingly named, "Berlin’s Doner Kebab", yes we said Berlin as in Germany, presents “Berlin Style Kebab'' sandwiches and wraps. Apparently the home of the fast-food wrapped version, developed after the second World War when Turkish migrant labourers introduced their cuisine to Germany. So what’s the difference at Berlin's you ask? Well according to the Chef they are more upperscale in terms of quality, freshness and presentation compared to your average greasy street Kebab. A lot of which they serve is made in-house such as their wraps and thin ‘pizzas' Lahmacuns, including most of the sauces and accompaniments. They don’t buy their spit meat ready-prepared either, they assemble the meat together from scratch every morning. Although Berlin’s Doner Kebab opened in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis in Bangkok, it appears that they are now already prepared to serve delivery. Our personal highlight was the Doner Lahmacuns, the thin and crispy Turkish pizza which you can choose your own fillings; Beef and Lamb, or Chicken
Other Menu Highlights: Beef and Lamb Durum Wrap or Chicken Durun Wrap.

For this video, we headed down to Rong Cheng Bak Kut Teh to devour 15 Bowls of Bak Kut Teh filled with MASSIVE Dragon Ribs! Rong Cheng Bak Kut Teh is located at Midview City and serves pepper-heavy Bak Kut Teh with a unique twist of having Dragon Ribs (Pork Loin Ribs) as their cut of pork. Bak Kut Teh, literally translated as Meat Bone Tea, is a Singaporean dish that consists of Pork Ribs cooked in a richly spiced and flavoured broth with rice and fried dough fritters on the side. There are traditionally 2 versions, the Teochew one being lighter-coloured and pepper-forward, while the Hokkien version being darker and more herbal. Rong Cheng Bak Kut Teh serves the former version with much aplomb since 1976.

I went forward with doing it bowl by bowl, completing 15 bowls in the end. The Dragon Ribs were true to the name and ginormous in size. Due to the size of the ribs, some parts were chewier and leaner than others, while the fatty parts were fork-tender and bursting with flavour. Dipped in the soy sauce plus chilli condiment, the Bak Kut Teh flavour shined tremendously. The broth was peppery and had deep and complex notes of the all the Chinese spices and herbs used in the long preparation. Surprisingly, the dough fritter was the component that really blew me away. They were ridiculously crisp, probably through a double-fry process, and soaked up all the rich Bak Kut Teh broth. I could not get enough.

They also served Traditional Chinese Tea which can be brewed on the spot. The name of this dish originally came from the fact that physical labourers in the past used to eat Bak Kut Teh while drinking Chinese Tea after a hard day’s work. Rong Cheng Bak Kut Teh does not sway from this tradition and allows you to experience the full, authentic Bak Kut Teh experience.

今天我們要去高雄駁二藝術特區玩！我希望這部影片會幫你做玩駁二的計劃。如果要玩一整天我推薦早上再高雄展覽館輕軌站開始，先拍85大樓的照片，然後做輕軌到真愛碼頭站，玩駁二。接下來可以從第2倉庫坐船到旗津，在那邊玩到晚上看夕陽。如果還有體力的話，晚上可以去逛夜市（星期一一定要去勞工公園夜市：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhVwhSaCFs）

大家好我是婷婷，我是住在臺灣高雄的澳洲人。我目標是介紹臺灣給全世界認識，一個地方接一個地方一個美味的食物接一個美味的食物。如果你是第一次看我的頻道，也歡迎你，如果你想加入我們的樂趣，按訂閲按鈕，也按小鈴鐺這樣我上傳新的影片時你會知道。

Today I will show you all the sections of Kaohsiung’s Pier 2 Art District and how to work from one end to the other without missing any good stuff! I hope this video helps you plan your trip to Pier 2.

For a full day tour I recommend starting at Kaohsiung Exhibition Centre light rail station to take some snaps near the 85 tower and water, then catching the light rail to Love Pier and touring Pier 2 the way you see in the video. Once you reach Warehouse 2, you can catch a ferry directly from there to Qijin Island (or walk up to Gushan Ferry Pier and catch the ferry from there). You can spend the rest of the afternoon at Qijin Island and enjoy a drink at the sunset bar before heading to a night market (on Mondays I recommend Labourers’ Park night market, check out that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhVwhSaCFs)
