Returning to visit Tauranga, New Zealand 2019/Carlos Pueblo
It was still fresh for me to return the visit of Tauranga Bay. I took it as a nice routine hiking for the trip toward the hill top on the fist of the arm shape of the city. I walked on the same path, the Mall Street along the beach on one side and back to the Marine Parade on the other side of the beach with about 4 hours total on the march. The two missionary were still working on the side green of the path and we had had a nice chat yet no more bible study. On the way up, I ran into a retired music professor form our Mexican border city Laredo, Texas and directed her to select the ladder path instead of the service route. On the top, she ran into some other passengers from the ship and got the information about the White Island Volcano on a direction of a long strip island and the smoke was still up slowly. We were departed when we reached a street corner on the Marine Parade, I chose to go back to the ship and she continued to visit some other scenery.
I enjoy very much on a cruise trip. Usually, I get up early to have my breakfast, usually better than at home. I shall have an omelet and oat meal at the O'Sheenhan's on deck 8, the I shall go up to deck 12 Garden Cafe for some fruits, some watermelon, pineapple, apple, honeydew, and cantaloupe, etc. I don't have that many to choose at home. Then, I shall get myself ready for the disembark and doing my daily march. At home, I walk 2.2 miles in the morning.
After returning to the ship, I shall stop by the O'Sheenan's for two scoop of ice cream to make up my lost of sugar on marching while I am not allowed at home. I'll have my lunch afterward and a long nap following up. Usually, I'll swing some golf at a golf simulator on deck 13 outside. I am getting better and better after that old professional teaching me how to stand and bend my knees and swing.
The dinner is coming very early every day. Usually, I select the second restaurant on the mid ship on deck 6. I can get closed to my daughters. It is also provided to me an opportunity to make friends with fellow passengers. I usually go to the piano on the atrium on deck 7 or the Magnum's by the Le Bistro Restaurant on deck 6. I'll come back to the OSheenan's to chat with the hostess daughter and manager.
I have my way to measure the cost of a cruise including the airfare and my conclusion is that cruise trip is more economic that a land trip after all.

重返紐西蘭投蘭噶港2019/莊峻華
重返紐西蘭投蘭噶港2019/莊峻華
因是回程，就是翌日，又回投蘭噶港，這手背握拳形狀之島，兩位步徑傳道者，仍然憶得我這位旅客，我已熟途，選擇山梯徑，途中巧遇蘇珊。熱大爾教授，她是我們德墨邊城拉烈多，德州農工退休音樂教授，有位同事，是台灣小姐，嫁一位中國夫婿，因此她對東方人友善，因她是學術界背景，談吐不俗，非常愉快，不久，我們就抵山頂之瞭望區，其實就是一山頂公園，她指園處一長形島背後之白色島煙，就是最近出事意外之白島活火山。
我帶她沿兩日前舊徑海灘，走回城中，她因想參觀其它風景，我就逕自回船，一般自覺體累，我就結束我的行軍，回船上八層餐廳，吃冰淇淋，補足血糖，然後到自助餐廳午餐，非常規律，午餐後就午睡，然後到高爾夫練習場，約打上百桿，這是我唯一高爾夫球機會，自從上次巧遇高人指點，我之技術，精進不已。
我因為認了許多愛女，所以在餐廳常遇見，非常親切，這是我難想像者也，郵輪旅行，就像返鄕探親一般甜蜜，通常我在小餐廳用餐，然後到八層餐廳聽鋼琴，或是六層酒吧，我已經不看大廳之節目矣。若東方餐廳人少，我就去吃甜點，紅豆沙酥餅，日本綠茶，或是到自助餐吃水果，因此下船後，體重增加。
我提過邀請愛女共餐，這是一件大事，她們之上司，都會親自來探視，郵輪有四家餐廳，讓我們選擇，而且有葡萄酒，因糖尿病用藥，我已開始禁酒，於是送酒給愛女，攜回寢室，與室友分享，晚上，我很早就結束一日，而且夜寐比在家更好。

Visiting the campus of Hong Kong University 2020/Carlos Pueblo Hong Kong University has been established since 1911 is one of the famous and prestige universities in Asia. I am so glad to have a day of visit the campus out of my three nights stay in the city. The University has also been back track to the Hong Kong School of Medicine for Chinese which one time Sun Yat-sen attended. It was established in 1887 while Hong Kong was ceded to the British Empire due to the loss of the Opium War in 1840. Eugenia told me due to that fact, HKU took Sun as an alumus. There is a small garden and a statue of Sun in the campus. We took a light rail green line from Won Chu Hang to Admiralty station to change to the blue line to the University. As a matter of fact, we did pass the campus wall on our way to the Stanley Bay a day before. We walked across a covered pedestrain bridge to the entrance. It was a school opening day yet cancelled due to the out break of the Wuhan Cornonavirus. We can see several buildings under the benefaction of the Shaw's Brothers, Run Run and Runmei Shaw Brothers Ltd., the films producer famous for the Kung Fu and some other kinds of movies in Hong Kong and Singapore. There is also another Hong Kong Chinese University, the second public insititution in Hong Kong and also famous. I was wondering around the buildings and found the student center on the first floor in a significant location. I read all the postal left from the out break of the pro-democracy movement or the Anti-Extradition Amentment Bill Movement which created a huge attention of the world. The postal clearly are advocated their desire of the Hong Kong Independent which is a taboo according to the authoritarian regime in Beijing, China. I fully understand the situation in Hong Kong that people feel no way out like the people in China now under the rule of Chinese Communists. We went back to the small noodle restaurant at the Causeway Bay for lunch. It was the afternoon to pack our luggage for our cruise on the next day to Vietnamese Coast.

拜訪香港大學2020/莊峻華
拜訪香港大學2020/莊峻華
香港大學創立於1911年，它之前身為中國人西醫書院，創立於1887年，這些都是西方學校制度，因為與西醫書院之關係，宇正曰港大將孫文列入校友，孫應是先在檀香山，讀完西式高中，再回香港讀西醫書院，我對世界名校，心生羨慕，因此安排拜訪，我們居停黃竹坑搭輕軌，在金鐘換車四站，就到港大，昨日遊赤柱，巴士也經過港大。
港大建築在山麓上，居高臨下，出輕軌車站，需走避雨天橋到校園，這校園算是古色古香，也有新穎建築，邵氏兄弟電影，邵逸夫和邵人枚，捐款給港大，學校有很顯著建築等，均以其兄弟命名，這是大善舉，提供這些亞洲精英，一求學環境，我猜測港大設立，原係提供統治香港九龍之英國子女就學，統治者在香港另設，給當地居民就讀之大學曰，香港中文大學，並非中文授課，課程仍以英文，香港中中文教學，作文文法，仍以北京語為本，若古文則粵語可通，西式大學，仍以英文為主，中文僅當翻譯耳。
我們逛到學生社團辦公室中心，窗外貼滿反對中國統治之大字報，對中國政權嚴厲之攻擊，而且主張香港獨立，比為全球修飾過之輿論報導，真實與直接，中國政治不能一國兩制，所以要送中，干預香港之司法獨立，香港青年和全民，抵死抗命，僅走獨立一途，香港飲水，可以科技解決。
因為武漢肺炎感染顧慮，學校取消開學日，一直到現在，尚未復學，香港與中國為一國，香港無法封港，不准中國人過境，這是悲哀情況，我甚壓抑，因此結束港大拜訪，搭車回銅鑼灣江仔記吃麵，準備整理行李，明晨搭車到啟德郵輪碼頭。

Sailing back to Sydney, Australia 2019/Carlos Pueblo
Sailing back to Sydney, Australia 2019/Carlos Pueblo
After Auckland, New Zealand, the cruise ship was turn back to the original route back to Sydney, Australia, I called it the second back of my back to back trip. Some of passengers like me as the back to back, most of them were new passengers embark from Auckland, and some of crew members from their vacation. I expected Jingle, my beloved daughter who informed me of her schedule yet everyone on the ship told me that Mary Ann missed the airplane due to the visa issue, and I saw Aileen, the Maitre D'hotel, who lead the group back from Manila.
Aileen was transferred from the Tsar's Palace in charge at night to the Azura, the second restaurant in charge. We were very happy to see each other again. I asked her to come to meet my fellow Taiwanese passengers and introduce her to them. These were a group from Kaoshiung, Taiwan. She told them that she had been to Kaoshiung on this ship and loved the street eatery very much. She copied down their room numbers and sent them each chocolate candies. One day one of the ladies on the deck 14 observation station thanked me for her candies which made them feel so important. I could only admit that was her talent of the public relationship and good at doing business. She is a very beautiful lady with leadership. I have had many daughters on the ships all over the world and they all know each other.
Jingle is one of a few daughters still keep correspondence with me. She was transferred from Dawn to Jewel with a group of crew members as their restaurant manager, Nigiel as the leader. He is my son-in-law and very friendly to me. His wife Jenny works inside the atrium office as the group service manager is one of my most favorite daughters. Jingle was assigned to Azura and helped to select my menu. I have been following her approaching 10 cruises from Dawn to Jewel, a very special daughter. She is a senior waitress.
Mary Ann is another pretty waitress and has been with Dawn. Due to her visa delay, she was aboard in Wellington three days later. She was therefore assigned a waitress in floating assignment at Azura. There are many restaurants on the ship and all restaurant staff must come to help the Garden Cafe cafeteria during the day and go back to their designated home restaurant in the evening. The restaurant manager will move some waiter or waitress to rescue the busier restaurants from time to time. They are all very busy and I have to find the opportunity to chat with them.
Another important matter during my cruise trip is to invite daughters to dine with me at two fee restaurants like the steak house, French restaurant, and Italian restaurant. First I must have my invitation accepted, then an approval from the restaurant manager. It is because that I have had a privilege to have two vouchers to dine at four restaurants with a companion. You can imagine how happy I have been to dine with some most beautiful young ladies. It is certainly the best of my life.

郵輪旅行紐西蘭回程2019/莊峻華
郵輪旅行紐西蘭回程2019/莊峻華
郵輪在奧克蘭掉頭，沿原程回澳洲雪黎市，因擬於雪黎兩夜，所以回程是11夜，我選擇來回行程，主要是考慮來回機票，價錢較為合理，剛好回程也帶回至少三位愛女，愛琳，金葛爾，和瑪麗安，愛琳是兩線半經理，也是馬尼拉市回軄者領隊，金與瑪都是舊黎明號愛女，隨我女婿奈吉爾，愛女珍妮之夫婿，三線之餐廳總經理，調來寶玉號，郵輪軄員，調來調去，分佈全球，如今，我船上認收愛女約四百位，每次郵輪旅行，都可以遇見愛女，找上家庭關係，非常親切。
一日，我在阿如拉晚餐，旁桌有七位台灣同鄕，台語交談，引起我之鄕怯，飯後我自我介紹，並介紹餐廳經理愛琳，她剛好箸默色制服，同鄕驚訝我有如此美貌之愛女，在船上工作，愛琳一一詢問每位房間號碼，幾日後在高層甲板觀景峭壁，一位台灣女士，前來感謝我，因愛琳送每房間一小盒精緻巧克力，我也收到，我說這是她會做人，女士堅信是我之影響力，郵輪把最美麗，能幹，和親切者，擺到客務服務之第一線，令人有賓至如歸之感覺，一位中國愛女描述，這些經理，甚至能修理簡單之餐廳水電，更令我肅然起敬。
金葛爾行前，回我信曰，奧克蘭返回郵輪，她安排在阿如拉餐廳，就是愛琳班底，白天隨班底，到處輪軄，晚上回到阿如拉，她是位美麗甜蜜之愛女，過去在黎明號之奧西罕餐廳服務，這是一全天開放之餐廳，我經常徘徊之處，認識許多愛女們，她隨時與我連絡，是我喜愛之女兒，我在餐廳用餐，她能根據我喜好，安排餐點，不用讓我點菜，非常方便無壓力。
瑪麗安也在阿如拉，因為簽證不全，在馬尼拉機場受阻上機，等三日後，始在威靈頓上船，因此，她在餐廳擔任流動侍者，隨時幫忙，有時候也可以繞到我座位，寒暄兩句，餐廳軄員，可以因需要，到處調動支援幫忙，他們稱之為拯救，非常有趣。
我發現因為經常郵輪旅行，學到許多公關禮貌，現在我對人際和動物際間之關係，越來越好，不再孤單寂寞，每天都有節目，不用安排，若閒極無聊，我就上船旅行，下船後，就處理一些家務，幫忙家人，做些零星工作，我不再畏懼失言，因為我已無所畏，人之不以為人知，就是說，不在乎別人不注意我之存在。

Second day in Hong Kong/Carlos Pueblo
Second day in Hong Kong/Carlos Pueblo
Eugenia came to the hotel to pick up for a tour on our second day in Hong Kong. I knew her in Frankfurt, Germany while both of us were on our tours in Europe. She said that we were at the Aberdeen area; therefore, she had a plan to take us to visit Stanley, had a lunch at the Causeway Bay area, drinking coffee for the entire afternoon with a life music performance, and finally at a famous roast goose restaurant for our dinner.
We took a train to the Central and transferred to a bus passing through a tunnel and at the high rises of the city and the high wall like campus of the Hong Kong University, her alma mater. As a matter of fact, the alumni Association has listed Dr. Sun Yat-sen as one of them due to his attending of the old Hong Kong College of Medicine, the forerunner of the University. I showed my interest to visit the campus of this famous University. Stanley is a small bay and the British Authority built a pier for their vessels named a Governor-General Blake as its name, I read the words on a stone monument. The old Governor-General building was moved to the front of the pier nicely. Also nearby is the popular Sea Goddess Temple and the famous Guanying Bodhisattva statue is on the hill which is very famous for the scenery on movies in Hong Kong. She did mention that there were a big resistance in Hong Kong during Japanese invasion during the War and Stanley was the last beach head. I tried to show my well informed character, I asked if it was the Gurkha army. She knocked her head and took us to visit the Military Cemetery on another hill where we could see the overall scenery of Hong Kong, the bay, the high rises, and the mountains, etc. We continued to pass the old residential area of small plan houses with small yards for growing vegetable and flowers. We came to the original post office building, still in function, to catch on a bus to a noodle house at Causeway Bay section of downtown, of course everywhere in the city is like a downtown. It is a small Teochew eatery yet crowded with customers. I ordered two bowls, one fish rice noodle and one plan seaweed soup and both ladies ordered beef meet balls noodle for lunch. There were delicious. Amy and I went back again on the third day in the city.
We took a bus again to a coffee and bar restaurant across the Island. I forgot the name yet she told me that was closed to the original place to raise geese for the restaurant to have them roasted. We had listened two sections of performance of Jazz music. Finally, I requested three popular hits and they agreed to play one of them, What's up? It was excellent.
She took us to another roast goose restaurant to wait on long line to get in and I regret very much that I was not alert enough to notice that she was allergy to both the goose and the duck due to her shoulder's pain according to Chinese herb medicine advice to avoid eating them.
