欸? 什麼鬼啊? 怎麼一大早就那麼吵? 廣播? 為甚麼在這個時間會有廣播? 對了, 現在幾點啦?
3點半......
不意外....畢竟跟稚內差不多. 試著睡回籠覺可是還是睡不著. 算了, 結果我出去散步. 一出門, 就看到前一晚"爬"的小丘. 原來是長這個樣子啊~ 我又再"登頂"了一次可是這次還是看不到什麼....霧有點給他濃. 我走到街上看到一家雜貨店, 原來我前一晚看到的事這家啊. 走著走著發現了一件事, 這邊有畫好多卡通人物提醒駕駛要遵守交通規則. 接下來, 我走到了一座湖畔. 讀了標示, 原來這個湖叫久種湖. 就是因為了久種湖, 所以附近霧氣在這麼重. 標示也說湖畔也有提供露營廣場, 不過那時我沒有看到任何一個人. 我注意到附近真的很吵, 為甚麼會吵呢? 就是因為我頭上有一隻烏鴉在飛, 而且那隻烏鴉好像看我不太爽, 一直往我頭俯衝. 我被逼走了之後發現湖的旁邊有一個小神社. 這個神社看起來好落寞....感覺像沒什麼人拜這個神社一樣. 就這樣什麼都沒做就5點了, 當我回旅館是以經有一些人起來了, 我問他們說有沒有聽到廣播可是他們都說沒有, 難道我瘋了嗎?

7點準是吃早餐. 出乎我的意料外, 早餐吃得是典型日式早餐. 一條魚 半生不熟的蛋, 醃烏賊, 醃菜, 味增湯, 當然少不了白飯.
吃飽後, 準備好考古需要的東西(鏟子, 手套, 防曬乳液, 水壺, 背包). 我們8點20左右坐車到濱中. 濱中離旅館大概開車只要不到5分鐘可是我們挖的地方是某位地主提供的後院. 我們做的第一件事就是先抹防曬乳液, 可是我想說白人比較容易曬傷我這個亞洲人就免了吧. 我們先把雜草處理乾淨. 在處理時, 我們其實也發現很多骨頭而且有些看起來是以風化許久的海類哺乳動物的骸骨. 我是怎麼知道的呢? 因為老實說.....我還記得以前上課的時候記得我又看過鯨魚的骨頭而且記得教授說過海洋哺乳類動物的骨頭長的很怪. 整理到大概10點左右, 我們正式開挖! 我們 把site分為2個4X5來挖. 挖不久後, 就馬上挖到貝殼, 看起來有點像生蠔的那種亮亮的殼. 我要喝水的時候發現水壺沒有關緊, 所以水痘漏光了. 唉...算了反正教授有帶水.我們再挖的時候常常挖到樹根而且那些根真的很難搞.要多費力和時間用鋸子割樹根因為絕對不行硬扯掉(不想去破壞層次).挖挖挖. 12點到了. 廣播開始在放Edelweis. 好可愛喔, 這個小鎮. 12點時還要用歌曲提醒大家.午餐是吃沙拉跟麵包, 我那時候有點失望, 因為晚餐和早餐吃得太好了, 現在叫我吃麵包實在是......唉, 不說了. 原本說每個人只能拿1個麵包結果我不小心拿了2個...對不起, 我真的不知道. 我們吃午餐是時在離挖掘地點大概走路1分鐘的一間社區中心. 從社區中心可以看到禮文島的海岸. 看到那有沖浪的海, 一波接著一波, 真的可以讓人放鬆許多.社區中心的廁所就....不是那麼的乾淨. 味道還滿重的....而且我不是說清潔劑的味道. 下午時, 天氣越變越熱...我想說email介紹不是說10-20度左右嗎? 怎麼感覺像30多度? 下午的進度還是一樣緩慢, 樹根真的太多了. 我看到陳小姐和Tudor一起在清理牠們的範圍. 那時候我很好奇陳小姐到底聽不聽得懂Tudor的腔. 我們就這樣挖到5點才收工. 回旅館的時候我聽到一些人在抱怨說腳很酸, 不過我倒是覺得還好,可能是因為我5,6月有在運動吧.

下班後, 我走到那間雜貨店買了一些糖果(這次大部分是巧克力). 早上散步的時候我還沒注意到, 可是從路旁就可以看到利尻山. 每天可以看到這麼漂亮的山應該心情會很好吧? 我也跟大家說其實雜貨店裡旅館不遠, 大家可以去那裡買吃的.
回到旅館後, 我坐在大廳裡看報紙, 我記得陳小姐拿事後也在場. 加藤老師從販賣機禮買了一罐札幌啤酒然後開始跟我們兩個人說關於日本啤酒的事. 他說關西人喜歡喝朝日, 關東人喜歡喝麒麟, 而北海道人當然最喜歡的就是札幌啤酒. 我們兩個都覺得好奇怪喔, 為什麼他要跟我們說這個不過我們就因為這樣覺得加藤老師時一位很有趣的人.
哇~今天晚上也是超豪華的海鮮料理, 我們該不會以後都回吃這麼豐盛吧? 開開心心吃完後, 我去洗澡...可是很不巧又遇到了一個教授, 這次是Dr. Weber. 我在沖水的時候發現不曉得為甚麼皮膚好痛可是我想沒什麼大礙所以也沒有特別注意他. 尷尬的洗完後, Ed說要在我們房間開權力遊戲party. 看完之後, 我下樓看見陳小姐和其他人. 我問陳小姐要不要去散個步, 她說好然後我們就往鎮裡走. 我們散步到一間小學後面的小路, 我問她說她記不記得我們小時候有一部鬼片叫學校有鬼. 他說他記得可是他也叫我不要再講了因為陰森森的感覺有點恐怖. 喔~原來他是個膽小鬼啊. 我們散步的時候看到好多隻貓可是他們的尾巴好像都好短喔, 不曉得是天生的還是甚麼. 我們回旅館時, 我們走到久種湖的廣場也在那邊聊了許多事, 而且連一些滿私人的事都聊到了. 可是陳小姐也一直說我不是真正的台灣人而且一直說我老. 我才比你大1歲ㄟ, 小姐! 我們在湖畔的時候還看到超大的蛾, 有點像莫斯拉.
回旅館剛好是睡覺時間, 一天就這麼過了.
....明天, 應該不會有那個廣播吧?

Last time I met everyone and almost got hit by a car.
Anyways back to the story.
"#^$%&^*&(%^*&("
What? What the hell? Public broadcast system? How come there was a public announcement in the morning? I woke up to the loud PA system at around 3. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't, so I decided to go take a walk. The moment I walked out of the hotel, I saw the hill that we climbed the night before. It wasn't much of a hill but I decided to go back up again to see if I could see anything this time. I didn't. It was way too foggy to see anything. Later, I walked into the town and noticed the "convenient store" was actually a grocery store. The street was dead and there wasn't much to see so I went back to the hotel. Before I went back to the hotel, I stopped at Lake Kushu. There was a crow there and he really hated me because he clearly was gunning for my head, several time. I didn't want to get a bloody head so I hurried back to the hotel.

Breakfast was typical Japanese style. Softboiled egg, fish, miso soup, pickled vegetable, marinated squid, and rice. I honestly hadn't had any real breakfast for a long time since usually I only eat bread in the morning.
After breakfast, we spent about 30minutes getting ready for the dig. When we got there, I saw everyone putting on their sunscreen and I thought, "I'm not going to use. I'm Asian! Who has heard of Asian getting sun burn before?" So, I didn't apply the sunscreen. We spent the first 2 hours or so in cleaning up the site. There were so much stuff on the surface but we managed to clear them all out. We then divided the sites into two and split the group accordingly. We started digging and we found some shells pretty quick right off the bat. I remember it was Seung-wan who found it and she was so excited saying, "OH MY GOD! I FOUND SOMETHING!!!!" Ya....it wasn't much of a find but it was still pretty cool. There were some minor annoyance such as finding roots. Roots were our public enemy at that time because they were hard to cut and sometimes require a saw to saw through the whole thing. I was getting a bit thirsty so I went for my water but only to find that I didn't tighten the lid right so everything leaked out....oh well at least the professors brought some. Just like that, it was 12.The thing about Rebun is that when it gets to 12, the town plays Edelweis on its PA system, so adorable. We ate lunch at a community center not far away from the site. Our food was from a contracted bakery. We had bread and salad. We were supposed to take only 1 bread but I accidentally took 2....it was an "honest" mistake. The community center itself was at a nice location, we could see the shoreline from the windows but if there was one thing I had to complain would be the washroom. The washroom had a really strong smell. We started digging at one and in the afternoon, it just felt like it was getting hotter and hotter. It was definitely above 25 even though, on the project description described the island's summer climate as being chilly. We finished the work at 5 and went back to the hotel.

I immediately went to the grocery store and bought some chocolates. I noticed that there were a lot of cartoon traffic warning signs and I'm pretty sure they didn't have the copyright for those hahaha. When I walked passed the lake, I saw Mt. Rishiri. Wow, being able to see such a mountain on daily basis must be a pretty cool thing living here. I got back to the hotel and sat at the lobby. Chen was there too. Kato sensei came and bought a Sapporo beer from the vending machine and started telling us two about beer in Japan. He said that Kansai prefers Asahi, Kanto likes Kirin, and Hokkaido likes Sapporo. I told him that Sapporo Beer had been broadcasting a lot of ads on tv in Vancouver in the past year and he said it's his favorite beer. Chen and I thought it was kind of strange of him talking to us about beer but nonetheless we began to think he's an interesting person. Come dinner time, we sat at the dining hall again, when the food arrived, I was shocked to see the food. Our dinner was once again FABULOUS! SEAFOOD, SEAFOOD, SEAFOOD!
After dinner, I went to take a shower and just my luck, another person was in there. When I was showering, I noticed whenever water touched my body, it gave me a burning sensation but it wasn't such a big deal. When I finished, Ed told me he was going to have a Game of Thrones party. I watched part of it then went down to the lobby. I saw Chen there and asked her if she wanted to go take a walk. She said sure so we went out for a night stroll. We walked all the way to the little alleys behind the elementary school and we stopped when we were at a crossroad and because she's a scaredy cat so we headed back. We stopped at the lakeside and started chatting sitting down. We talked about everything and even things I thought would be too private for me to talk about. Yes, she knows some secrets about me but I also know some secrets about her lol. We saw a huge green moth and she thought it was disgusting but I insisted of seeing it closer so I somewhat forced her to see it close with me.
When we got back to the hotel, it was close to light-off so we headed back to our rooms and ended our first day.
To be Continued...
