义大利，来的匆忙，什么资料也没找，扛著笔电就来了。飞机一落地，第一个感觉是好多人在讲电话，原以为大家打电话忙著跟家里人、朋友联系，结果一进罗马，罗马的街上也是好多人一边走路一边讲电话，check-in 的时候，服务人员也是时不时的讲电话。其实很常在罗马的街上看到外来移民的脸孔、中文，觉得很希奇。

意外的结识一位开朗的智利女孩E，就这样子和他，还有一位韩国男孩K一起去梵谛冈参加弥撒，在走路去梵蒂冈的路上，意外的发现台湾和韩国有著一些共同点，像是父母与孩子的距离，我们普遍不会主动拥抱父母，E的家庭则是即使只是一个星期没见，见面也一定会拥抱、普遍学子向往普通大学、人口老年化、年轻人孕育下一代的意愿不高的问题，还有普遍都是依成绩选科系，意外地得知韩国的男生须要服2年的兵役，在他身上没有看到一丝抱怨，反而有一种对于自己服完兵役的骄傲。南韩和北韩有一天真的会打起来吗? 二战都遗留给我们两国不少难题。也只能尽力守护了。努力吧!

弥撒的过程很庄严，诗歌，虽然听不懂，还是觉得很好听，觉得那些教职人员的歌喉很好，现场还看到了许多拉丁美洲国家的国旗! 以前总好奇那个圆圆、白白的饼吃起来如何，这一次意外地吃到了，在吃之前，E有些担心的问我:「可以接受吗?」，我对于天主教的认识真的很少，当下的我也没有多想，所以说了:「可以啊! 」而且我也没有办法想到任何不能接受的理由。在弥撒结束后，E向我解释那圆圆、白白的饼代表耶稣的一部分，当你吃了，代表你能理解耶稣的精神，听完以后，E看著我惊讶的表情，笑笑地跟我说:「没有关系的!」。好险! 在刚刚仪式之中，我满认真参与的! 

这场弥撒，最让我感动的地方是当我看到参与的人一起哼唱诗歌得时候，可惜我不懂西班牙话也不懂义大利语。

弥撒结束后，跟E说曾在电影里看到弥撒类似的东西、类似的场景出现在丧礼中。原来丧礼也是弥撒的一种。

这场弥撒之旅，好幸运有K和E作伴! 希望爱与和平常存世间。

Before coming to Italy, I don't know the reasons that I don't want to any research for this. I just book the hostels, decide which cities to stay and put laptop in the luggage even though it's more possible that I just get the map from the hostels and start my trip with it. 

When I arrive in Italy, first thing I notice is that many people are talking on the phone while walking on the street. This scene is rarely seen in France. While I check in, the staff picks up the phone and the phone call isn't just one. The area I live in Rome is near the train station and I find out that there are many immigrants. I can find chinese characters or other languages easily. There are also many graffiti on the streets.

At night, I go to Vatican with a Chile girl,E, and a Korean boy,K, for the Mass. I'm not christian or catholic but I really want to experience this ceremony since I'm in Europe and in Vatican during Christmas. I've seen some news about Pope Francis. I like him even though he refuses to have a reunion withDalai Lama because of the concern of the relationship with China. This makes me feel awful. For me, politics and religion should be separated. Religion is like a motion that people wants to be a better person. Politics includes the whole society from living to entertainment and every resident is included. When human has right to choose their religion, how can they be put together? There is not only one religion or one attitude toward this. 

During our walk to Vatican, we find out the similarities and differences between us. In E's family, they hug each other a lot. In k's and my family, we hug each other rarely. In Korea and Taiwan, students tend to decide their major by the scores. Generally, what we learn in university is not what we want mostly. Some of us even don't know what they want or what they hate actually because they never try or think about this. Student life in senior school is all about getting higher scores. Nowadays, in Taiwan, more students know what they want before entering university and they work hard. They don't choose what to study by scores anymore. Hope this kind student can be more and more in the future. Student life in senior school should not just study hard. Studying hard is really important, but during summer or winter vacation, we should do something different. Korean man should do 2-year military service. I don't sense any complaints from K's face. Instead, it's more like a pride. Like I've done military service, I'm real adult. Compared the situation in Taiwan, man has to do 1-year military service. To be honest, we aren't willing to do this. This doesn't mean that we don't love Taiwan,we don't want to protect our country. Our complaints is because one year you can do many things as a fresh man in the society. When you do military service, you don't know what happen in the world sometimes.

During the Mass, I see many flags from south america. I can feel their love toward Pope and god. The poetry is wonderful. Even though I lack religious knowledge, italian and spanish, I feel touched when hearing people singing together.

It's a wonderful experience. And I'm lucky to know E and K during trip.
Love and Peace.
