一個人，

    抵達孟買一個月，大致安頓好生活起居，搬進公寓、完成開戶申請、申辦網路等等，但是，初來乍到的新鮮感漸漸淡去，空虛、寂寞卻隨之而來，在這裡沒有朋友、沒有家人可以談天說地，外食口味太重並不習慣，放假無所事事，實在是受不了了!於是我便毅然決然地花了一萬盧比，買了一把吉他。(我一個月伙食費大約8-9千盧比，一萬盧比可謂不是一筆小錢了)

品牌：Cort AD810

背板、側板：桃花心木

面板：雲杉

特色：Cort的老型號吉他，適合初學者，白話一點就是CP值很高

    外資在印度的投資主體可分為五種，聯絡辦事處(Liason Office)、專案辦事處(Project Office)、分支辦事處(Branch Office)、全資子公司(Wholly Owned Subsidiary)以及合資公司(Joint Venture)，我們公司為貿易公司，主要是評估是否需要設立Liason Office，其他的投資主體就不多作探討。

一,投資主體

(1)聯絡辦事處(Liason Office)

僅限蒐集市場資訊、宣導該外國公司之形象與產品、促成進出口貿易及促成該外國公司與印度公司間的技術或財務合作等，聯絡辦事處不得從事任何直接或間接的商業活動，因此不得在印度賺取任何所得，聯絡辦事處有開支必須從國外匯款至印度，且不得購置不動產。

    Liason Office不需要繳稅，因為不會有當地貨幣的收入，只會有錢匯入以及支出(員工薪水、日常開支等)，但還是比須請會計公司作帳，每年完成申報。

◎模擬旅展

1.行程不熟悉

    被問到某些景點不熟，給人不專業的感覺，最好是能做到不看資料也倒背如流，而且要可以立即翻到景點的資料，不用找很久。

2.肢體語言

很多不適合、給人不好印象的小動作，像是抓頭、翹腳、身體隨意扭動、眼神飄移等等，浩維特別強調，再讓對方下單的時候，會直視對方的眼睛。此外，多觀察對方，判斷他到底是沒錢、對行程不確定想比較還是其他因素，導致沒有下單。

春琴抄滿有意思的是，他是透過第三人稱的口吻來敘述，畢竟”鵙屋春琴傳”的撰寫人是佐助，從他眼中看到的琴女，必然是跟一般人差異很大的，敘述者試圖用一個較客觀的口吻，讓讀者了解春琴與佐助的故事。

春琴至始至終，都不肯嫁給佐助，即使在懷孕之時，也矢口否認自己懷上佐助的孩子，我認為是她不想和佐助進入”夫妻”的關係，因為就當時的禮俗，妻子就是隸屬於丈夫的啊，這或許也是為什麼，春琴要求佐助遵守”師徒”之分的緣故，這份堅持，是來自於目盲以至於本來驕傲的性格，變得變本加厲嗎?總而言之，春琴並不想因為世俗的禮法，而屈服於佐助，當然佐助並沒有這個意思。

春琴在三味線很有天分這無庸置疑，但事實上，佐助也是很有資質的，音感要相當的強，他憑著聽音就可以將曲子彈奏出來，這並不是一件容易的事。

他們的愛在外人看來或許十分扭曲，難以理解，然而愛，本來就是兩個人的事，只要兩個人喜歡這樣的方式，感受到喜樂，別人又有甚麼資去說些甚麼呢?佐助為了春琴刺瞎雙眼，我在第一次閱讀的時候，也覺得匪夷所思，無法接受，再次閱讀後卻發現，他們彼此到達心靈相通，水乳交融反而是在佐助瞎眼之後呢！春琴感受到，他們終於是站在一起了，或許盲人之間，有甚麼不為人知的共鳴也說不定。
