CN区的朋友，

《文化读瘾．一周译报》第14期的选文，来自印度尼西亚的朋友。

@ettydiallova 是一位在台湾工作、居住的印尼人，她是国际移工（migrant worker）群体的一分子。移工群体往往是因为经济的驱动力而出现；然而，无论在任何国家，移工群体通常也带来了更多元的文化融合与交流。

本周，让 @ettydiallova带我们到台北去见证一场特别的婚礼。

我们一起，在异乡结婚吧！

Original title: Pernikahan Massal Warga Negara Indonesia di Taiwan
Authored by @ettydiallova, translated by @ygern

婚礼是个神圣的仪式，新郎与新娘宣告誓约，这意味着在宗教、法律与社会规约之下的正式结合。人们因各种传统和信仰的差异，而各有不同的结婚仪式。然而，旅居国外时，在异乡举办婚礼，又会是怎么样的情况呢？

驻台北印尼经济贸易代表处（KDEI）为防止在台印尼人的婚外情与通奸行为，因而举办了“KDEI联合婚礼”。这项构想自从2015年提出以来，已经在2015年、2016年和2017年连续举办三年。结婚仪式与婚宴在台北市内湖区的KDEI办事处举行。

_{当天结婚的其中一对新人}

婚礼当天，所有新人入席，进行庄重的结婚登记仪式。除了免费的婚纱摄影，每一对新人还会得到活动赞助者印度尼西亚银行（BNI）赠送的一份礼物。

这是一项公开的活动，任何符合条件的人都可以参与。条件包括：当事人在印尼或在台湾都没有与他人缔结婚姻关系。这项声明必须由父母和地方官员签署。

婚礼中的所有新人和观礼者受邀欣赏传统舞蹈演出，当天也有印尼在地美食招待。希望这样的联合婚礼活动，让参与者在异国建立幸福家庭。

新人可以邀请他们远在印尼的亲朋好友和家人前来出席婚礼。婚礼结束后，他们可以获得由KDEI和赞助商赠送的蜜月旅行行程。真的很棒，对吧？祝福所有的新人们。（😊）

以下影片是KDEI联合婚礼的片段：

希望这篇文章能让您更了解印尼人在台湾的生活。我会分享更多有关我在福尔摩沙台湾的生活点滴。

COBINHOOD - A Rising Zero-Fee Crypto Exchange and ICO Platform

COBINHOOD - A Rising Zero-Fee Crypto Exchange and ICO Platform

Hi investors, today @tradealert and @deanliu join forces to introduce COBINHOOD, an exciting new ICO platform and exchange.

BD_BW1964_T054-16_masterrepro.jpg

We’ll start by presenting the platform’s most interesting features (I), Dan (@tradealert) will share his personal trading experience on the exchange since Dean (@deanliu) has already shared his experience right after the platform lauched (II) and we’ll conclude by discussing how you can invest in Cobinhood through their native COB token (III).

I - The platform.

COBINHOOD is new exciting hybrid crypto platform which allows its users to trade and participate in ICOs all in the same interface. The young team behind the project is based in Taiwan and the CEO Popo Chen has extensive experience as an entrepreneur. Interestingly, the project is advised by Tony Scott who is the former CIO at VMWare, Microsoft and the Walt Disney Company.

1_lJ4-S9H24sEiUl_UAYifQw.jpeg

The project maintain a Github page, a Discord channel and a subreddit where most of the community is active.

Finally, the platform possess its own native token: COB which we will talk about later in more detail.

Cobinhood has three very distinctive features that sets it apart from its competition:

The first and the most ubiquitous is the zero-fees trading policy which is unique to the project and a potential game changer in the industry. For comparison with other exchanges you can refer to the table below, notice how the average taker fee stands around 0.2% in most other exchanges (although exchanges like Binance allow for a discount when using their native token to pay for fees). It should also be noted that Cobinhood also allows COB token holders to receive a 50% discount on margin loans when these are settled in COBs.

https://steemitimages.com/DQmQxn1mqwUTPbgt8kwcfyW97rYHd7jbLyJuay9ozme8G57/2.PNG

Second, Cobinhood provides underwriting services for ICOs which, combined with the exchange feature, will allow any project that uses its platform to access to instant liquidity making it very appealing for investors. Additionally, all COB token holders are entitled to discounted ICO token offers proportional to the number of COB tokens they hold. Here’s an example of how this worked in their first ICO (CyberMiles/CMT):

1.PNG

Third, Cobinhood plans to enable fiat transfers in the future which is a feature that most centralized exchanges lack of and could help capture some of Bitfinex’ US users as well as ensure the financial health of the platform.

So, the fundamentals look all fine and dandy but what about the experience.

II- Dan’s experience.

I’ve been trading on Cobinhood using the desktop web interface for about two weeks now and the experience has been very positive and smooth so far. Here’s some of the things you should now before jumping in though.

Fees an Feel.

The zero trading fees is a breeze of fresh air and it was really nice to be able to trade between currencies without constantly feeling ripped off. Beside, Cobinhood has some of the cheapest Bitcoin withdrawal fees I’ve seen in a centralized exchanges (0.005 at the time of writing) which really surprised me;

5.PNG

The interface looks sleek and is easy on the eyes for someone that mostly trades at night like myself. The different menus are easy to navigate and they have a very responsive customer support (at least it was fast in my case).

8.PNG

Withdrawals.

It’s important to note that withdrawals cannot be executed unless you are verified at level 1 or above (you can deposit without being verified though) so I recommend you obtain a level 1 verification before you start trading on Cobinhood so to avoid any drama. It took me about a day to be verified at level 1, it was very simple and did not require me to submit any ID documents or personal addresses;

4.PNG

The second thing to note is that withdrawals aren’t automated yet so there can be quite a bit of delay there. The reason for that is because they are still being manually verified for security reasons but the team has announced that automatic withdrawals will be enabled in late January.

Coins and liquidity.

Right now the exchange feels a bit like a ghost town, order books are very thin and only 4 tokens are listed (BTC, ETH, COB and CMT), however the team has said they plan on listing new tokens very soon (see below and here for more):

Finally, I was able to get CyberMiles (CMT) tokens almost for free by just holding COB through the CMT ICO which took place on the platform just a few weeks ago. The gain wasn’t extraordinary but it was nice to be airdropped some tokens and this system has some interesting potential although the rewards would need to be more consequent to really constitute an incentive to hold more COBs.

In conclusion, the experience was very enjoyable and I am looking forward for the exchange to list more coins and pick up more liquidity so to allow me to trade there with bigger sizes. I believe that the zero-fees policy is going to attract a lot of traders and will be a game changer for the industry.

So, if you believe like we do that Cobinhood’s future is bright under the crypto sun, why not invest in it?

III - Investing in Cobinhood.

The main investment thesis behind acquiring COB tokens is that the demand for COB tokens is probably going to increase rapidly as the platform gains in popularity both as an exchange and as an ICO hub, in simpler term, COB could become the next Binance coin (BNB);

12.PNG

Investing in the platform can be done by purchasing COB tokens. Right now, COBs trade on three markets: EtherDelta, Mercatox and Cobinhood (not yet listed on CMC) but there is massive fluctuation in price between those exchanges due to COB tokens deposit not being allowed on Mercatox.

7.PNG

So your cheapest option to buy COB is Cobinhood itself:

10.png

However, make sure to go easy on position size since, as we mentioned before, the COB order book is quite thin there.

So that’s it for today folks and we hope you learn something new, don’t forget to re-steem, upvote and follow @tradealert and @deanliu if you like our featured content.

Cheers,

Dan & Dean.

耐得住寂寞與冷清－漫談交易、經營與人生

https://steemitimages.com/DQmb6AvH2am5d5tT4crUZBxnDYAZwDAFZBz12oP72yVmFRa/tiger-and-turtle-2395541_640.jpg

現在Steem一顆 $6，SBD一顆 $8，哇，好多錢！也不過就是兩三個月時間前，這些都還無法想像….

嚇死人了，本人帳戶估值竟然都快8萬美元了，那可是台幣200多萬哪！在台北還買不起房子，但買車都可以買到很不錯的車子了！不過就是一個寫文章的帳號，哪裡值這麼多錢哪？（更別說我已經搬運不少出去了哪 ~~）

話說，我的帳號也曾經估值只剩下1000美元上下（我的SP很早以前就差不多這樣水準了），差距來到 80 倍了呢！當然，這是比較久以前了…

如果不power down，不賣出這些，也不考慮因為漲價帶來的文章收入提升問題，那這樣的漲或跌，是否就對我們沒有太大意義？

不！最大的意義在於，你帳戶的價值，代表如果現在有個新來的人，需要花多少成本來達到你在這平台所擁有的影響力（純粹論SP高低的影響力）。

https://steemitimages.com/DQmfKWkmETP7moaK5RkK3ozcSZnAtbDhmpvFWptQgQ6aT5u/balance-2108024_640.jpg

這是在幣價低時，我在心理上比較過不去的檻。我心裡會想著「我在這裡前前後後折騰、上上下下打理，天天寫時時看地，到頭來，人家只要輕輕鬆鬆花個1000美刀，就可以跟你平起平坐了… 想到這一節，我就會覺得特別難受，特別抱怨平台對於老用戶這樣的無視（認為他們應該要把價格把握好底線之類的）… 尤其是如果你還投資過一點錢，虧了，那還得加上這一塊的痛哪！

隨著早期Steem價格的直直滑落，這樣的感受還不只一輪呢… 早期有些抱怨文章，都可以看到的…

當然啦！現在你可以說我們都被好好的補償了。因為同樣的邏輯，現在新來的人，想達到我現在的SP水準，竟然得花上那麼多銀子，大夥兒肯定都覺得自己備受恩寵（且不論我上一講的相對論的話），甚至覺得好可惜，沒能多累積一段時間，漲得太早了（現在每篇文章能拿到的SP實在是少得可憐哪）！

所以，Steem漲價的意義是什麼？其中之一就是：SP分配在整體來說，更難透過寫作來改變了。大戶因為價高而賣出SP，才有可能持續推動SP分布的變化… 否則由於Steem變得有價值，更多競爭文章跟人會來到，新增Steem就會分配的更廣…原本你慢慢慢慢一篇一篇可以拿個幾個SP，現在可能只有零點幾個，累積速度變慢了。

反過來說，Steem跌價的意義是什麼？就是：SP分配在整體來說，更容易透過寫作來改變了。

https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjN3nMxgmcqw1LYXjU6k7qCR8Ks1y2gNDWSZWXHcWR5B/granite-1209113_640.jpg

其實，隨著我這一年來多少也做點Crypto交易，也體認到，真正難的都是買在無人問津的低點，持有一個冷門幣，歷經種人接掌我獨漏的淒涼。就像是持續在低價時期寫作，累積籌碼，因為價格高漲時，籌碼熱門，你要能拿到的難度就會變高了…

似乎… 整個人生都是這樣的邏輯啊！

在低點的累積，不必然代表你有未來高點可以期待。但如果你永遠都在追逐高點，你越難找到你真正的人生高點。梵谷甚至在他過世之後，才達成了人生的高峰 …

散戶為什麼是散戶？韭菜會什麼千年？書上都寫了，老師都教了，但正是因為很難，所以才會重要。

人總是容易受到環境影響，總是喜歡東打聽西偷聽，你買了什麼幣？下一波會漲什麼？糟糕，我買的一直跌… 為什麼我的文章收入這麼少？為什麼我踏實做事，都沒有老闆看到我的認真？…

耐得住寂寞與冷清，似乎是歡喜收割的必備條件，除非你真的是操弄人性的詐騙高手，否則天落金幣的好事（與失風的風險）不平白會到你頭上。

https://steemitimages.com/DQma1Q2VgECoPajDTbGD6HbqBQ79HxFu8YBwNWUvUc8P3VS/choice-2692575_640.jpg

當然，收割的早，也可能成為未來的失落，誰知道Steem會不會年底上百刀？到時三位小數點可能會不夠用了…. 但沒收割，也可能成為未來的懊悔，誰知道Steem不會被facebook萬一打算tokenize的舉動給一舉殲滅？對，我們都是凡人，權力巨頭們的遊戲，在密室與高爾夫球場上過招，我們都沒辦法知曉。我們只能稍微認真地分析大勢，認清方向後，埋頭耕耘，等待你的東風終於吹起，拉上你走一段人生的順風船。風停之後，繼續適應新環境，繼續耐住無風的日子。

或許這樣的一段一段，終將漸入佳境，最後能夠脫離芸芸眾生終其一生盲與忙的命運。

只有在漲價之後，人們才懂得欣賞低價的無限好處。

只有在成功之後，人們才懂得欣賞失敗帶來的無限美好。

漲價與成功，都不是表面那麼簡單。羨慕的同時，可別忘記問問自己，何時可以找到屬於自己的低價依歸，何時自己可以開始煎熬顛簸的旅程。

JR - Japan Railways in ... Japan? No ...

DSC_3511.JPG

So many cute high speed trains painted on the entrances of subway stations … A total of three different trains … Lovely …

It must be the famous Japan Railways (JR) collaborating with the subway companies to promote traveling by trains inside Japan right? The question is which city it is that JR wishes to promote its services?

Let’s take a look at more photos …

DSC_3512.JPG

DSC_3514.JPG

DSC_3513.JPG

hmmm,… We can only make sure that this JR is JR East, one of the seven JR companies inside the big JR Group. The one that has full private ownership and makes money! Yeah, it covers the great Tokyo area. So I am familiar with it… JR also runs subways. So if you go to Japan, basically it is hard to avoid using their services.

Oh, I miss the Japan traveling memories … Hold on, we are in the middle of something here alright?

Hmm… It is weird that JR East would collaborate with other subway companies as themselves run subways …

Unless … this is not Japan!! Here you go! See the Chinese characters!?

DSC_3510.JPG

Ok! This is Taipei city. Yeah, where I live. We saw this cute advertisement weeks ago and still see them last week. Obviously JR East is doing promotions in Taiwan. Indeed, Taiwan is like the 3rd or 4th (?) largest source of foreign tourists to Japan! Yeah, we just like to go to Japan. Besides, recently the Japanese Yen is depreciating against Taiwan dollars … Good news! Hope them can last, so when I put forth my travel plan for March this year, I can still enjoy it and … yeah, go there and take JR again! ^_^

Here is a news in Chinese reporting this:

🍴 Café Gerbeaud, Budapest #myeuropaplog series 🍴 布達佩斯吉爾波咖啡館－歐洲行旅照片記錄系列 🍴

https://steemitimages.com/DQmaeBTm1xtWdyhMPowU57nunxuVyJxRFnLmBuPMZeP9mSe/received_747007808799058.jpeg

The series of #myeuropaplog documents my travel photos in Europe (central and east parts) back in May 2017. Please checkt the tag for the past dozens of posts if you’d like.

我的歐洲行旅照片記錄系列，是以旅遊照片的方式記錄了我2017年5月到中東歐洲之行，歡迎由 #myeuropaplog標籤來瀏覽過去幾十篇分享喔！

Today we will go back to Bupapest for a historical and elegant cafe - Café Gerbeaud. Let’s first check how wikipedia describes it: Café Gerbeaud, situated at Vörösmarty tér 7 in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is one of the greatest and most traditional coffeehouses in Europe. Today still, it shines in Gründerzeit style with its stucco, the grand chandeliers, the panelling made of exotic woods and its furniture …

今日我們繼續回到布達佩斯，讓我帶您到一間歷史悠久，風格優雅的餐廳－Café Gerbeaud （吉爾波），該店創建於1858年，創建者是一個甜品世家的後代，他曾遊歷過許多個歐洲國家，見多識廣，回國後開了甜品店，很快就成了佩斯最好的甜品與冰淇淋店，在1870年將店鋪搬到市中心的弗洛斯馬提廣場。咖啡，酒、甜品和餡餅都深受顧客歡迎。吉爾波是歐洲最大、歷史最悠久的咖啡館之一，為古今名流聚集處，深受皇室貴族或藝術名家喜愛(據說是西西公主 (Sisi)的最愛)，如今是旅人們在布達佩斯朝聖名單上的必訪之處。

螢幕快照 2018-01-07 上午10.25.02.png

The cafe is right beside an entrance of the subway station. From the photo below, you can see that we were climbing the stairs up and got a glimpse of Budapest’s sky and building style …
