In the autumn and winter of 2021, I was in Greece, but never got to Santorini, the familiar blue-and-white island. After coming back to Taiwan, I met a similar scenery at a restaurant in Taipei City. The owner of the restaurant said to me with a bit of surprise and regret,
“ That's a must-see place in Greece!”
I think so too. That's why the huge picture on the wall attracted me at first glimpse!
I keep asking the owner,
“ Have you ever thought about living in Greece?”
She said,
“No, because life there is too relaxed and it's too far away from Taiwan. My family is here.”
I think so too. Why leave the place that belongs to you forever just for temporary enjoyment? – A conversation with the owner of a Greek restaurant in Taipei one day.
Nevertheless, I still miss Greece, especially the feeling of having my body right there. Fortunately, there are still many metaphors in life that can help me get closer to the other side of the world, to replace the sample in my heart.
