【里斯本的地鐵指示】
【Metro signs @ Lisbon】

在里斯本搭乘地鐵非常方便, 每個地鐵站的站內多處都有行車路線表清楚顯示站名稱和轉車站的站名, 而較大的地鐵站例如 Oriente 和 Jardim Zoológico, 由於可接駁火車和巴士, 另有白色底藍色字體的告示牌, 以葡萄牙文 Comboios 和 Terminal Autocarros 分別表示: 火車和巴士總站/客運總站, 而字旁也有圖形，所以就算不懂葡萄牙文都大概能明白文字意思。

The metro system of Lisbon is very user-friendly. Various route signs are installed at each metro station, which show clearly station names of each of the four metro lines and interchange stations. As such metro stations as Oriente and Jardim Zoológico are connected to train and bus terminals, another set of signs (with white background and blue words) written in Portuguese can be seen: “Comboios” and “Terminal Autocarros” mean "Trains" and "Bus terminus" respectively. The figures of a train and a bus next to the words are indeed quite self explanatory.

TV programmes in Portugal / 葡萄牙的電視節目

葡萄牙的電視節目, 當然是以葡萄牙語為主。 但他們電視台有一樣是很好的, 就是, 他們播放外語片時, 會原聲播放, 不會配音, 而會有葡萄牙語字幕。 除了荷里活電影外, 有次我還看到電視播放成龍的電影, 完全是廣東話播放, 很有趣。

TV programmes in Portugal are of course mainly in Portuguese. One good thing about the TV channels in Portugal is that non-Portuguese films that they show are not dubbed. They are aired in original languages and Portuguese subtitles are used instead. Besides Hollywood films, I once watched Jacky Chan speaking Cantonese in a Hong Kong-made film on Portuguese TV.

ueuing up for admission. Just go over at any time you like to appreciate art as there are no opening time limits.

街頭藝術一直是里斯本藝術的一份子。對我來說, 街頭藝術可不是大家一般所想的塗鴉, 亂塗一遍。就像這幾個巨型的外牆創作, 其實是幾個葡萄牙優秀的街頭藝術工作者, 在一個稱為 "Crono Project" 的藝術項目中, 被委托在里斯本市一個商業區的幾座被棄置的大厦外牆, 創作巨型的精采和充滿活力的藝術畫作。

大家都試試在里斯本找街頭藝術品呀!

Urban art has long been a part of Lisbon's culture. It is, to me, different from simply graffiti. Just like this collection of huge facade paintings. In a project called "Crono Project", some of the finest local Portuguese urban artists were commissioned to decorate the facades of some abandoned buildings in a busy business district , turning them into some vibrant creative public art displays.

Try to look for urban art displays in centre Lisbon!
