Before I was worried about my passport can't pass the customs check. Be cause I just change my Chinese name in ID card this month. Then I don't have time to wait for the office give me a new passport. I will go to travel soon after I got new ID card. And I don't wanna to pay another price from change name of flight ticket and got visa from Thailand again.
So I research this kind of things in Taiwan by internet. Amost people said " No!! you have to change your name of passport after change ID card. The customs can't let u go! " . Really?!!?.... But I didn't saw any about someone's real experience about this. Then I saw few experiences about went to travel with old name of passport. So I decide to try it. If I can't leave Taiwan, it just lost my flight ticket.
I did. Now I am stay in Singapore for few days already. And I met my Japanese CS'er in CS dinner party after I arrived in airport. He give me a cute and separate of room let I sleep there. Show me 2 CS books about his experiences of host. I also saw my crazy dude Karlis's write. ( Karlis help me send a CS request to his Japanese friend. then Just spend one day, few messages...This CS'er decide to host me in Singapore.) Then a funny thing is same my last experience in Europe. Met his triend and become my friend later.!!! What a cool thing!
About this Southeast Asia trip, I haven't book flight ticket for back to Taiwan yet. I know I usually change my mind and plan fo trip. Now I just have a feeling and tell myself " just go... to see different thing" And be relax. But about go where? I don't know and I can't imagnie it. Just follow my feeling to travel any place.
However I am sure. I will have more enerage to working and painting after this trip.
終於，我通過了海關並且離開台灣到新加坡啦！為啥會說終於？因為之前我超級擔心關於自己才剛換身分證的名字，而拿著舊名字的護照無法出境。戶政事務所的人告訴我ㄧ定無法出境，上網查了許多相關資料，在背包客棧詢問，大部分的人說絕對沒辦法，但我卻沒有搜尋到有人因為換了名字使用舊名護照無法出境的經驗，反而找到少數資料談論自己使用舊名護照出國的經驗，我也查了護照法，只看到國人換了身分證必須換護照的條例，卻無說明未換無法出境的說法。
況且剛換身分證後ㄧ星期內我即將就要出國了，倘若換了新護照，我必須重回泰國經貿辦事處再次取得簽證，而線上改機票名字則須多付新幣60...隆隆總總ㄧ加，總共要多花5000!!!
很好！我決定ㄧ試！我只是改名，就算有戶政連線發現名字不合，難道它們就沒有換名的記錄在上面嗎？況且我又不是通緝犯！
而現在我到了新加坡了，坐上廉價航空（老虎航空），忍受不花錢在機上買食物的挨餓，忍耐無法伸大懶腰的不寬敞座位五個小時，我降落在這個全世界人口密度最高的國家。
下了飛機後我馬上找公用電話撥給我的日本沙發客Kuni確定在哪裡會面，隨著ㄧ路不同口腔的英文問答，從機場坐免費巴士到MRT，出了捷運沿路尋找Kuni所說得見面餐廳，最後在一個人多擁擠的shopping mall花了很多時間找到我們之前所約定參與的沙發客晚餐party. 同時間我也認識了來自不同地方的沙發客，順便見了許多之前Kuni host的朋友們。
Kuni是個比我年長又非常和善的日本人，在新加坡工作了八年，旅行了許多國家，host將近一千個沙發客在他的住處，我看了他的沙發客留言本，來自世界各地的感謝及溫暖的人情與人與人之間的信任，當然，我也看到我家瘋子的留言。
說起如何認識Kuni皆要歸功於我家瘋子，之前我只尋找女性的沙發客，但通常女性的hoster較少（也許安全考量的顧慮）而在新加坡的暑假，許多人計畫出國旅行，在得以尋找成功的條件難上加難。我發了五封沙發訴求，三位回應因繁忙或旅行無法host. 一位回應只有週五有空能帶我晃晃並讓我睡ㄧ晚（當然，雖然現在我找到落腳處，但我們計畫見個面當個朋友）我家瘋子幫我發信詢問Kuni，發了就算沒有空間我也不在乎睡地板的沙發需求，終於在一天之內Kuni回應我答應讓我落腳於此。就這樣，跟上回的巴黎經驗相同，Karlis的朋友即將要變成我的朋友了，豐富的旅行經驗真的很有幫助！
對於此次的旅行，目前我還未訂回台灣的機票，因為旅行變數太多，我的計畫隨時再換，我需要多一點時間尋找便宜的回程方式以及多一點空間思考想從哪ㄧ站回台灣。而我將去哪裡的問題目前只停留在簡單的路線，坐著巴士往北走到吳哥窟，我知道這是條漫長的路，背著十公斤的背包忍受炙熱的陽光，還需要習慣聽懂不同腔調的英文（尤其印度腔）
但我會習慣習慣再習慣
A nice Japanese guy host me
My host let me sleep in a separate room
