鴨仔團的手信

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Duke aka 公園仔

看罷《殺戒》，與友人們匯合，他們在佐敦的新樂酒店的餐廳晚飯，所以就在酒店的大堂等了他們一下。 身處大堂，感覺自已在參加那些澳門或台灣的經濟團，身在一樂園或天成這類三星酒店。然後我就想，自已活在香港這個旅遊城市，卻從來沒有以遊客心境去遊逛觀賞過。 等候期間有位應該是旅行團的領隊走進來，手挽著兩大袋老婆餅，放在酒店接待處寄存，我估計那是領隊替團友代買的手信。 我特意細看，那些老婆餅是「大四喜」出品的。我孤陋寡聞，只聽過有榮華、恆香是老婆餅出名。兒時香港仔有雙喜、天喜樓，都是酒家兼營中式餅食，從來沒有聽過大四喜。 很多年前跟幾位台灣來的大學生聊天，我說香港人遊台灣愛買永來香的牛肉乾做手信，他們說聽也沒有聽過，然後問她們哪家牛肉乾最出名最好吃，她們說了幾個名字，我聽也沒有聽過。 我不是那種有深度作深度旅遊的背囊族，但無論如何都想避免參加遊行團了。行程像鴨仔團缺乏自由度固然是受罪，最大的問題是，導遊領隊推介的境點、商店、產品，無不受佣金因素所左右。 “I would no more take an investment banker’s opinion on whether to do a deal than I would ask a barber whether I need a haircut.” – Warrent Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 1982 Annual … Continue reading →
