本來「法國」與「克羅地亞+意大利」兩段路,究竟誰放在行程中的最先/最後,一直未有定案。到我想起6月6日這個熟悉的日子,法國一行放在首段便是逃不了。


on d-day, i visited the normandy beaches, out of my imagination, the site is very cool and windy, how the soldiers beared the weather to do the must-die mission 62 years ago?

in the guided tour i came across an australian boy, finally could say some english. i discoverd my listening has become poorer...no good.


問了幾句,那澳洲青年便招認出他是二戰迷。不想冒犯,但我實在很難明白那些戰爭迷的想法,我倆同樣看過"Saving Private Ryan",我看到的是血腥與恐怖,但他在Normandie卻不斷流露出興奮的神情。至於我為甚麼來到這裡?全因為我相信62年前的今天,在這裡發生了一件改變了世界的大事,我到來只是為了憑弔。

在美軍墓地走著,忽然軍樂響起,全個墳場的人皆面向傳來樂曲的一方肅立。我走了幾步,雖然不知如何才好,心想還是停下來會恰當一點,有人甚至向著同一方向行敬禮,剎那間,全場靜默。
