당황스런 진실! 공공도서관에서의 충격적인 광경, 전등을 끄다

대만의 중심인 타이베イ에서 4박 5일 동안의 여정을 즐겼습니다. 그곳에서는 다양한 맛있는 요리를 마음껏 만끽했습니다. 하지만 단지 맛있는 음식뿐만 아니라 또 다른 추억 하나가 생겼는데요, 그것은 미리 준비해 방문했던 바이라투 공공 도서관입니다.


 베이터우는 타이베이의 온천 마을입니다. 타이베이 주요역에서 MRT를 이용해 약 20분 정도 이동하면 베이터우 역에 다다르며, 그곳에서 다시 도보로 약 20분이면 목적지까지 닿습니다. 거리는 좀 되지만 쇼핑몰들이 즐비한 길을 따라 걸으며 자연 향기를 느낄 수 있고, 넓게 자리잡은 베이터우 공원과 숲속에 위치한 도서관을 만나볼 기회가 있습니다. 또한 근처에는 온천 박물관도 있어 같이 방문하기 적합합니다.

 길다면 길고 짧다면 짧은 4박 5일 일정 속에 굳이 도서관 방문을 계획한 이유는 이렇다. 베이터우 공공도서관은 아름답기로도 유명하지만 대만에 지어진 첫 번째 친환경 도서관이기도 하다. 지붕에서는 태양열로 전력을 생산하고, 기울어진 지붕으로 빗물을 모아 주변 식물에 주고 화장실 변기에도 사용한다고 한다. 건물은 재활용이 가능한 목재와 강철로 만들어졌고, 실내에는 불필요한 장식도 없다.

Cruise Line Aims to Become World's Premier Luxury Brand

 How long are you aboard for in weeks?


 It was my initial night aboard, and surprisingly, it marked the third occasion I had encountered this query. This time, it came from Torren, an elegantly dressed Dane, who seemed to be asking what must have become a routine question.


 He mentioned to me that he and his wife, Suzanne, were in the midst of their second week aboard the Explora II. In contrast, Elise, who was traveling alone from Toronto, had reserved an additional two weeks on board following our cruise.
 Barbados
 to
 Puerto Rico
 concluded.


 In the meantime, Elena and Thomas, a couple in their late thirties, mentioned they were "only planning to stay for a week" since they had entrusted their young child to their grandparents' care.


 Obviously, Explora Journeys — the premium luxury division of the MSC Group established by the Italian maritime dynasty, the Aponte Vogas — has garnered a significant following since launching in 2021. This is evident from my personal experiences aboard their ships as well as the numerous accolades the company has received.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BfcHp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BfcHp.jpg"/>

 Eager to discover if it met the expectations, I boarded Explora II (the fleet's lackluster moniker for its second vessel, introduced in 2023) for a four-night journey—a duration that prompted understanding nods from Torren, Thomas, Elena, and Elise—as she embarked on a week-long cruise through the Caribbean.


 Even though the 922-passenger vessel has an unexciting moniker—Explora III, Explora IV, Explora V, and Explora VI will join the fleet in the coming years—it certainly doesn’t appear dull at all.


 The exterior of Explora 11 boasts an elegant navy color, and from afar, the ship looks like a superyacht (which isn’t surprising considering its hawkish silhouette was designed by seasoned British yacht creator Martin Francis).


 Board the ship, though, and it feels as if you've stepped into a luxurious five-star resort.


 The lobby features an expansive two-story space adorned with a gleaming white-and-gold bar complete with a backlighted drink display wall. Up above, you'll find an open-air sky bar. Throughout the area, custom art pieces from Emilio Isgrò and Yves Dana can be spotted across various levels. The property boasts four visually stunning swimming pools designed for social media fame—one pool even has a roof that opens and closes. In addition, there are multiple hot tubs available for guests' enjoyment. High-end shopping options include stores like Piaget, Panerai, Cartier, and Buccellati.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BfcHr" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BfcHr.jpg"/>

 In other locations, the lodgings are designed as suites—beginning at an ample 35 square meters for the basic "ocean terrace suite," which was the type of accommodation I chose. Spacious enough—it rivaled my flat in South London in terms of space—even though it carried only a base classification. The room featured a king-size bed adorned with Frette linens, included Steiner binoculars, had a capacious dressing zone equipped with a robust Dyson hair dryer, boasted a marble-clad bathroom fitted with radiant floor heating alongside custom-made Mandara Blue bath products; additionally, there was a distinct lounge area opening onto a balcony furnished with an exceptionally comfy Manutti daybed.


 Visitors who manage to escape from their minimalist-toned rooms (which is quite an accomplishment) have the option to cleanse themselves at the spa—where a 60-minute deep-tissue massage (£194) had all the tension in my neck skillfully alleviated by Gineesh’s adept fingers—or utilize the expansive fitness zones equipped with high-end Technogym machines. Afterward, they can indulge again at one of the vessel’s twelve bars and six dining venues.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BfcHy" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BfcHy.jpg"/>

 During a coffee at Crema Café – the bustling hub of Explora II, always brimming with visitors chatting, savoring newly baked pastries, and typing on their laptops – General Manager Marco van Belleghem shared with pride that "guests have been extremely pleased with our cuisine."


 We receive numerous positive remarks. In contrast to other cruise lines, we feature solely independent restaurants, each possessing its distinct character and incorporated into the overall fare.


 The coziest place to eat is Emporium Marketplace – a high-end buffet that I frequented for lunches (imagine options like salads, stone-baked pizzas, and all sorts of pastas you can think of).


 Meanwhile, Marble & Co acts as the ship's sophisticated steakhouse, offering lobster and Black Angus beef essentially on demand. The Med Yacht Club menu embraces a Mediterranean twist, whereas French-inspired Fil Rouge presents dishes like fish soup and prawn risotto.


 The standout venue was undoubtedly the pan-Asian Sakura. There, seated at the sushi bar alongside another lone traveler named Susan from Wisconsin, we enjoyed juicy gyoza and a delicately tender yet crisp seaweed salad—overlooking the bustling activity of the chefs in the open kitchen.


 There’s an additional fee of £118 for the "upscale Italian dining" at the restaurant Anthology, but I didn’t want to spend that much. On the other hand, Susan, who recently retired and decided as a reward for herself, spoke highly of both the service and the seven-course Italian meal. She particularly praised the radicchio risotto, saying it surpassed anything she had tasted even in premier restaurants in London.

 Susan, much like Toronto residents Andrea and Paul and numerous other visitors I talked with, was inexperienced with cruising. She chose Explora II because of what it lacks—boisterous nightclubs, flashy casinos, and unexpected additional fees (tips are even included).


 These visitors—well-educated, widely traveled, and connoisseurs of luxury—thoroughly enjoyed the understated nightly performances (a pianist played elegantly on a Steinway in the lobby bar, while Broadway alum Zoe Tyler earned a standing ovation in Journeys Lounge), along with the ample personal space and notable guest-to-staff ratio of 1.25:1 ("hosts," as Explora refers to their crew members).


 Van Belleghem’s face lit up when I shared everything with him during our coffee break. "Our aim isn’t to draw customers away from other cruise lines," clarified the friendly Dutchman, who had accumulated 16 years of experience at Holland America before taking a turn on solid ground.

 At a modest hotel group.


 Our owners, the Aponte Vago family, have developed an exceptionally distinctive offering. You know, Explora II feels more like a private residence than a typical vessel, doesn’t it? We stand out entirely from all other cruise lines.


 Perhaps none stands out as much as MSC Cruises does; with MSC World America set to launch in April, this impressive vessel can welcome an astounding 6,762 guests aboard, making it both daring and dazzling compared to its sibling fleet.


 “Definitely,” he concurred. “However, what sets Explora Journeys apart is that we aren’t merely another upscale cruise line; our aim is to revolutionize how individuals perceive sailing vacations.”

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bf5vp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bf5vp.jpg"/>

 The brand aims to achieve this by concentrating on experiential travel—Explora prefers the term "experiences" over "excursions"—exploring less-frequented destinations, and extending stay times at each location.


 “During our previous cruise, we stopped at the ABC islands.”
 Aruba
 and
 Bonaire
 “We remained until 9 PM, and in Curaçao, we stayed till 11 PM,” disclosed Van Belleghem. “Our aim is for our guests to fully experience the different places we visit.”


 In
 St Lucia
 I enrolled in Explora’s "Scenic West Coast Hike with Chocolate Tasting" experience (£100), which involved hiking along the Tet Paul Nature Trail to view the iconic landmarks of the island—the UNESCO-protected Pitons, two distinctively pointed mountains situated on the southwest coast. Our knowledgeable and engaging local guide, Vina, led us through this scenic route before we embarked on a comprehensive tree-to-bar tour. This educational journey covered every step of cocoa production, from grafting trees to sampling the fruit and even roasting the beans right there to create our own bars.


 In Bequia, I chose to explore on my own and took the route from Port Elizabeth to Lower Bay — a stunning expanse of pale golden sand where I enjoyed nearly complete solitude.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bf39R" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bf39R.jpg"/>

 However, everything didn't go entirely smoothly—there were minor hitches. For instance, my suite was cleaned only once daily instead of the advertised two times, and I needed to leave a note asking for the shower gel dispenser to be replenished.


 First-world problems aside, if Explora aims to achieve its objective of turning into – as Van Belleghem shared with me – "the top luxury brand globally," then these concerns must be addressed accordingly.


 Resolve their issues, and based on the bustling activity I noticed at the upcoming cruise desk, the line seems to have a very promising future ahead.

Explore Egypt's Ancient Mysteries Anew on This Exciting New Cruise

Unknown egypt, egyptology, tours, travel, travel in egypt

I am gently drifting calmly up above the hustle.
 Luxor
 The dusty streets were silent, broken only by the sporadic bursts from the burners of the hot air balloons.


 Our pilot, captain Mahmoud, gently turns us around so we get an unbeatable God’s eye view reaching from the lush green corridor of the
 Nile
 To the craggy hills where the renowned Valley of the Kings lies hidden.


 I spin around to see a mesmerizing display of a dozen balloons outlined against the glowing amber hue of the rising sun, glistening as it ascends above the skyline.


 As Mahmoud brings the balloon down toward Earth, the support team springs into motion, clutching the basket to guarantee a smooth landing. They call out to one another as they gather and secure the fabric during its deflation, ensuring it doesn’t sustain damage from the uneven desert terrain.

 The captain says to me, "Observe us Egyptians in action; this is how the pyramids were constructed."


 My airborne escapade is among multiple ground-oriented pursuits offered on a fresh cruise journey.
 Egypt

 For the very first time, the tour operator
 Tui

 Europe
 With its five-star all-inclusive Al Horeya (meaning freedom), featuring 72 staterooms, a rooftop swimming pool, and two hot tubs, this vessel is set to be joined by another ship in November 2025 for additional operations.


 Before we set sail, I have some free time to visit Luxor.


 After catching sight of the Valley of the Kings from an altitude of 1,500 feet, I later explore it with a feeling of amazement that these concealed marvels nestled far within the mountains were ever discovered.


 As I near the black opening in the stone, my vision takes a second to adapt from the blinding sunlight to the dim lighting within the passageway that leads deep into the subterranean burial site of Ramses VI.

 The meticulously created scenes illustrating the journey of the divine monarch guide my gaze along the passage, causing my skin to tingle with the thrill that the initial discoverers might have felt when unearthing these relics from antiquity’s past.


 As I delve into the tunnels housing the remains of the 62 pharaohs in the valley, the surreal imagery ranging from jackal-headed deities to the ankh symbol of life feels utterly otherworldly—almost like these designs were created by extraterrestrial beings using flying saucers instead of traditional tools.


 I save the entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb for last and make my way through the brief passageway into the burial chamber where the young pharaoh was interred after his death at the age of 19 around 1323 BC, following a reign of merely a decade.

 His premature demise resulted in his interment within an unused chamber, which was inadvertently uncovered by the British Egyptologist Howard Carter in November 1922. This discovery occurred while Carter was digging into the sepulcher of Pharaoh Ramses VI, positioned immediately overhead.


 Despite the numerous artifacts discovered in the tomb—such as Tutankhamun’s stunning gold funerary mask—which are awaiting relocation to a recently constructed $1 billion museum, his preserved corpse still rests within the burial chamber enclosed in a glass casing.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ze5dE" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ze5dE.jpg"/>

 Instead of believing that I've incurred King Tut's curse by venturing into his burial site, I consider myself fortunate for being able to catch a view of his visage, preserved through the ages, gazing upon his chamber adorned in rich oranges, where the walls depict scenes of his journey to the afterlife without significant signs of deterioration.


 Fortunately, my guide, Sarwat—one of our two accompanying Egyptologists—had suggested we begin at 6 am sharp to dodge the throngs of tourists. This way, we could relish exploring both the tomb and its imagery virtually undisturbed.


 Sarwat tells me that the artists employed a mixture of stone dust and vegetable paste combined with egg whites to form a plaster layer for protecting the illustrations.


 He states, "They were narrating the tales of the kings for the gods to peruse, ensuring their narratives endured forever."

 I head back to the Nile and hop aboard a traditional felucca sailboat, much like those employed by merchants through the ages, for a leisurely journey back to the Al Horeya where I enjoy a delightful meal of spicy chicken wraps at the fittingly named Felucca rooftop eatery.


 The following day, I am left astounded by the sheer size and magnificence of the Karnak and Luxor temples.


 Upon entering the main hall, I feel small beneath the 134 pillars that dominate the central area of Karnak, which are famously remembered from "The Spy Who Loved Me" where Roger Moore’s James Bond fights against Jaws. Just after an uneven scaffold falls, Bond makes a somewhat unjust comment: “Egyptian builders.”


 However, at Karnak, the ancient architects left behind evidence of their architectural brilliance through large mud-brick ramps still standing beside the incomplete exterior walls, demonstrating how the massive stones were initially positioned.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zdTIZ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zdTIZ.jpg"/>

 The temple is connected to its Luxor equivalent via the ancient Avenue of the Sphinxes, an almost 5 millennia old pathway adorned with numerous sphinx statues featuring both humanoid and ram heads. This route was utilized during a ceremonial procession honoring the deities who were transported on boats by the high priests as they celebrated the sun god Amun-Re.


 The primary entryway at Luxor was constructed under the reign of Ramses II, with his imposing statue overseeing the area.


 It’s a brief ride back onto the boat docked next to the temple, marking our readiness for departure as we set off on our voyage up the Nile.


 I sit under the shade of the ship’s top deck bar, a gentle breeze from the river acting as natural air conditioning, watching as the city landscape gives way to the green farmlands that the river creates all the way down this desert country.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ze5dX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ze5dX.jpg"/>

 The unhurried rhythm of life aboard ensures that I feel rejuvenated each morning, prepared to explore Egypt’s most comprehensive temple.


 The final stop is
 Aswan
 During our trip, we will see the renowned dam, a testament to Egypt’s contemporary engineering prowess, along with a Nubian village to understand the traditional way of life in the southern part of the country.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zea8w" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zea8w.jpg"/>

 Holding a beverage, I observe a farmer along the verdant riverside where sandy hills rise in the background. This scene instills an enhanced appreciation for the vital role this waterway plays in sustaining everyone within this nation, be they common laborers or legendary deities from olden myths.


 Just as the ancient Greek historian Herodotus stated, "Egypt is the gift of the Nile," and my voyage aboard the Tui Al Horeya has been an ideal means to discover this treasure.
