It was a gloomy day with occasional drops of rain. We didn’t want to go far, so we took a walk around Taipei 101.
一個陰陰又偶爾下幾滴雨的天氣，不想跑遠，就在台北 101 附近逛逛。
Jimmy's Moon Bus 幾米月亮公車
Opposite the Taipei 101 building, you’ll find Jimmy’s Moon Bus —a whimsical creation inspired by the concept of the “2016 World Design Capital,” championed by the Taipei City Government.
In collaboration with illustrator Jimmy, a real estate agency designed this bus around the theme of the picture book The Moon Forgot. It narrates the tale of what unfolds when the Moon tumbles from the sky and is adopted by a young boy from a single-parent family.
Simultaneously, a toy moon comes into existence. The boy and the Moon forge a deep friendship, but the toy moon faces a different fate—it’s discarded, and everything goes awry. The world yearns for its true moon, affecting tides, weather, and even astronauts.
Driven by compassion, the boy helps the Moon find its way back to the sky, even if it means parting ways. And so, “Jimmy’s Moon Bus” embarks on its journey. Piloted by a bear driver, it shuttles between the “Forgetting Station” and the “Remembering Station.” Onboard, a little boy cradles a full moon, while a cute child stands atop the bus roof, arms raised in the air. The yellow, smiling moon radiates warmth, comforting lonely hearts in the darkness.
On a rainy day, there were no other tourists, so my daughter and I had fun for a while trying to take photos from different angles inside the bus.
在台北 101 大樓對面，你會看到幾米月亮公車——一個臺北市政府所推行「2016 世界設計之都」的理念。
一家房仲企業與插畫家吉米合作，以繪本《月亮忘記了》為主題，設計了這輛公車。它講述當月亮從天而降並被一個單親家庭的小男孩收養時所發生的故事。
同時，玩具月亮也被製作出來。 男孩和月亮成為了親密的朋友，但玩具月亮被丟棄了，一切都變得不順利，因為世界想念它的月亮。 潮汐、天氣和太空人都會受到月球消失的影響。
出於同情心，男孩幫助月亮找到回歸天空的路，即使這意味著他們會分開。於是，「幾米月亮公車」踏上了旅程。它由一頭熊熊司機領航，從「遺忘站」開往「記住站」。車上，一個小男孩抱著一輪滿月，而一個可愛的孩子則站在車頂上，高舉雙臂。黃澄澄的月亮，帶著微笑，散發著溫暖，撫慰著黑暗中孤寂的人心。
下雨天，沒有其他觀光客，所以我和女兒在公車裡玩了一會兒，試著從不同角度拍照，玩了好一陣子。
We walked around a nearby shopping mall.
我們在附近的購物中心逛逛。
When walking in the city, you might as well look and listen in all directions. We saw a magpie while walking along the road. In Chinese culture, the magpie is a very popular bird and a symbol of good luck and blessings.
在城市中走路，不妨也眼看四方，耳聽八方，我們走在路上看到一隻喜鵲，在漢文文化圈中，喜鵲是非常受歡迎的一種鳥類，是好運與福氣的象徵。
Four Four South Village 四四南村
Then we went to Four Four South Village to see what the living environment of a former military dependents’ village was like. We also watched a short film to better understand their way of life.
然後我們去四四南村看看以前眷村生活的環境，也看個短片，了解一下他們生活的樣子。
Mingyue Soup Dumplings 明月湯包
In the afternoon, we walked to Mingyue Soup Dumplings at No. 40, Lane 171, Tonghua Street, and enjoyed dumplings that were just as good as those at Din Tai Fung.
午後我們走到位於通化街 171 巷 40 號的明月湯包，享用不遜於鼎泰豐的湯包。
