2013.0308天体樂園饗宴 後記 二
香港族友小朱精彩分享
今次很高興能參加台灣的天體活動，過了一個悠長的天體假期。此次聚會，一行二十多人，除了台灣的天友外，很難得還有香港、新加坡、馬來西亞等地的天友附會。到埗當日，我們這一群外地的天友，得到台灣天友的熱情款待，下午茶、晚餐吃得飽飽，還和當地天體會的會長見面、交流。晚餐後回酒店，預備明天的天體之旅。
This time, I teamed up with a Taiwan naturists group and spent a great nude vacation. There were over 20 naturists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Upon arrival, my Taiwan hosts were kind enough to welcome me at the airport, followed by a much needed coffee break and dinner. I was introduced to naturists from other countries and shared experiences.
Day 1: 早上從高雄出 發，乘坐火車往溫泉區入住民宿。民宿位於山上，隱密性高，因人數眾多，可整座包下，方便安排活動。民宿的溫泉池水，水質滑溜溜的，並滲著淡淡的碳酸氫鈉氣味。 據會長表示，此民宿的溫泉池水是直接從泉源頭引到民宿，絕對是原汁原味的上品！一行人等安頓後便脫精光，一起泡湯、茶敘、閒聊，相處融洽。
I departed from Kaoh Siung in the morning and after a 2 hour train ride, arrived at a hot spring area where we stay in a B&B with its own pool. Located up on the hill side away from prying eyes, I was able to relax in hot springs while others chit chat over a cup of tea. I was impressed by how oily the water feels and the smell of sulfur.
Day 2: 早餐後收拾行裝，出發往下一個目的地都蘭。今天入住的民宿，隱密性更高！民宿範圍有一大片山頭，由五間分布各處的小屋組成，並有一大片草地。背山面海而建，坐擁君臨天下之勢，無盡的太平洋海景，盡收眼底！在此四處天體閒逛，曬日光浴，欣賞風景，在不知不覺間找回在外國入住天體渡假村時的感覺。晚餐後，同行的天友還辦了一個分享會，交流在其他國家、地區天體的經驗。
After breakfast, it was time to pack up and move to another B&B in Dulan. This B&B is even more private! Occupying a hillside, the B&B was made up by lots of open space and five small guest houses. Sitting next to a cliff, it offers and stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. Sunbathing and strolling inside feels like living in a well established nudist resort in other countries. After dinner, a member is kind enough to share her recent experience on a nude vacation in Malaysia.
Day 3: 行程接近尾聲，早上的重頭節目是到附近的海灘欣賞日出及裸泳。以一日之初作為旅程的終結，也可說是絕配了。
Approaching the end of my journey, the star event of the day is traveling to a nearby beach to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and skinny dipping in the Pacific. A perfect way to end my already excellent vacation.
在這裏要特別多謝各位太太，連日來為我們備餐，安排各種美食。感謝！
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my host, especially their wives who prepared many delicious meals during my stay. Thanks!

I want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality during my stay in Taiwan with the Taiwan Naturist Association. I also want to thank you for taking so many beautiful photos of me and the whole group. It was such an enjoyable and memorable time in Taiwan that I am looking forward to going back to Taiwan in the near future and joining your association in other events.
I am pleased to say that the photographs were very effective. I showed them to my wife and she has a very favourable impression of naturism in Taiwan. She even tells me that she would like to go with me in the future to Taiwan to participate in some of these events but she will wear swimming costume. She is not able to strip naked herself but she is perfectly tolerant and accepting of others who are nude. After all, her own husband will be naked.
When I was in Taiwan, I invited you and all the other people I've met to my house for a meal in case you are in Singapore. My wife tells me to convey to you her invitation as well. Both my wife and I are delighted to invite you and the others to my house for a meal and a get-together. My wife speaks perfect Mandarin so that should not be a problem. We can make it a naturist get-together and my wife will join in but she alone will be wearing clothes. She does not mind if everyone else is naked but for herself, she does not want to be nude. I told her that was perfectly fine.
I do not have all the email addresses of the other people I have met except for a few people. If you have their email addresses, please let me have them. I want to send them a personal email to invite them to my house if they should be in Singapore.
Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm and sincere hospitality.
Best regards,

親愛的張會長
我要感謝你的盛情款待，與分享高雄性健康學會。我也感謝你分享這麼多漂亮的照片。這是在台灣這樣一個令人愉快和難忘的時光，我期待著在不久的將來要回台灣，並加入性健康學會事務。
我很高興地說，照片是非常有效的。我告訴我的妻子分享她的裸體主義在台灣有一個非常良好的印象。她甚至告訴我說，她想和我一起去，在未來參與台灣天體活動，雖然他可能還放不開，但她是寬容和接受其他人誰是裸體的。畢竟，她願意接受鐘愛的丈夫的抉擇。
我邀請你和族友們來我家聚會，歡迎族友來新加坡。我的妻子告訴我，要傳達她的邀請。我的妻子和我非常榮幸地邀請你和族友們到我家聚會。我老婆說流利的普通話，所以這不應該是一個問題。我們可以自在天體聚會，我的妻子會參加。雖然她不介意其他人是赤裸裸的，但對她自己雖然還放不開。我告訴她，這是完全正常的。
我沒有我見過的其他人，除了少數人之外的所有的電子郵件地址。如果你有他們的電子郵件地址，請讓我擁有它們。我想向他們發送個人電子郵件，邀請他們到我家，歡迎族友來新加坡。
所以，我再次感謝你,我由衷的感謝熱情和真誠的款待。

DAY 1
8 March 2013
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were to spend a few days at a naturist resort? That was precisely the thought that crossed my mind as I rode in a car driven by the President of Taiwan's Naturist Association towards a delightful little resort in the middle of a high mountain range in some secluded spot in Taiwan which is only accessible by a long road that meanders nauseatingly round the mountain range.
It was about 3:45pm when we arrived at the resort which consists of a large house with two large and beautifully landscaped baths just next to the house. The first thing I did was to put my luggage in my room. It did not take long before I got out of my clothes and it was time to join the rest of the people in the hot springs. I brought my camera with me and had a first shot taken just outside the house.
NOTE: Out of consideration for the other naturists, I will post very small photos which will give my readers a glimpse of the beauty of the various places without betraying the identities of the other naturists or intruding into their privacy.
In front of me is the house and behind me lies a steep and precipitous drop.
As you can see, the resort is surrounded by mountains and greenery.
This was my first "exposure" (pardon the pun) to the rest of the people from the Taiwan Naturist Association.
What really puzzled me was my reaction to the entire situation. Contrary to what others might expect of a person who has never been to a nudist resort before, I did not feel like a fish out of water. I felt perfectly at home and not the least bit self-conscious.
Here is one of the two pools with water from hot springs
For most people, going naked in a hot spring even if it is an outdoor mixed gender bath is not all that unusual. You may well ask what the reaction of a first-time naturist is when it's time for dinner with other fellow naturists. Soaking naked in a bath is not really out of the ordinary but having dinner without clothes would seem quite unnatural to most people. That was what occurred to me that evening when someone announced that it was dinner time.
Everyone proceeded to leave the pools and we all took our seats at a large table. In the nude. But I really felt no different from how I would have felt if I had been dressed in a tie and a jacket except that I was of course more comfortable naked and without the restrictions of clothes. Nudity is so natural that one is not even conscious of one's nudity. When I try to recall the dinner, all I can remember is the delicious spread on the dining table and the fact that we were nude does not feature at all.
Dinner time
That was my first day in a nudist setting. Instead of feeling embarrassed and self-conscious as anyone would expect a newbie like me to feel, I was most natural and literally comfortable in my own skin.

DAY 2
9 March 2013
Some of us began the morning with a nude trek up the slope outside the resort. It was a little chilly at that hour of the morning but a little walk was all it took before our bodies started to heat up comfortably. The good thing about a nude workout is perspiration is not trapped in the clothes.
Because we were already up on the mountainside, the view was breath-taking throughout our walk. At every turn, we could see mountains basking in the early morning sunlight. Some of the trails were paved with flowers and the walk gave us many great photo opportunities.
The early morning exertion was immediately followed by breakfast, after which we were back in the hot springs and at about 9:30am, we posed for a group photograph. It was soon time to check out of this resort and to head for our next resort about half an hour away by car.

The new resort we went to occupies a large sprawling area that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The entire area is beautifully landscaped and hedges speckled with bright flowers flank both sides of the footpaths.
Later that afternoon, some of us set off for another resort which didn't look as pretty as the resort we were staying in. We took a group photo anyway.
Back in our own resort, most of us sat at various strategic spots watching the sun set beyond the Pacific Ocean before we had a sumptuous dinner over the barbecue pit.

DAY 3
10 March 2013
Rising before the sun did, a few of us rushed to the beach shortly after 5:30am in time to watch the first rays of sunshine piercing the grey sky. As we sat on the beach looking out into the vast ocean, a beach ranger came by in his buggy which he gamely let us use for photo shoots.

The whole gang posing with the buggy
Later that morning, some of us indulged in sports such as badminton. Just imagine playing badminton while having at all times a splendid view of the Pacific Ocean.
Lunch followed immediately after and it was time for some of us to take the train back to Taipei.
Now that I have gone through my first naturist experience, what is my honest opinion of it? Contrary to what the world seems to think, naturism is not about sex. It's really nothing more than a wholesome, healthy lifestyle characterized by self-acceptance not commonly seen in the textile world. Textile is a non-judgmental word used by naturists to refer to those who do not adopt nudism. While most of us are hung up on our perceived bodily imperfections (we're either too skinny or too fat), a naturist is at peace with himself and he has no need to hide any part of his body. I cannot even begin to understand how anyone can legitimately criticize naturism or view it with the smallest negativity when all it does is to correct the many wrong notions that society has instilled into the average person. Naturism embraces humanity as a whole and drives home the point that we should accept the body that nature has given to each one of us and that we should not be motivated by shame and fear. Can any reasonable person possibly fault such a wholesome worldview?
I have been very privileged to have gone with the Taiwan Naturist Association for my first naturist experience. They are extremely hospitable, courteous, polite, friendly and welcoming in every possible way.
I took a lot of photos to show to my very conservative wife and guess what? She now wants to go with me to my next naturist resort and it's got to be with the Taiwan Naturist Association!
I want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality during my stay in Taiwan with the Taiwan Naturist Association. I also want to thank you for taking so many beautiful photos of me and the whole group. It was such an enjoyable and memorable time in Taiwan that I am looking forward to going back to Taiwan in the near future and joining your association in other events.
I am pleased to say that the photographs were very effective. I showed them to my wife and she has a very favourable impression of naturism in Taiwan.

Both my wife and I are delighted to invite you and the others to my house for a meal and a get-together. My wife speaks perfect Mandarin so that should not be a problem.

I told her that was perfectly fine.
I do not have all the email addresses of the other people I have met except for a few people. If you have their email addresses, please let me have them. I want to send them a personal email to invite them to my house if they should be in Singapore.
