每個喜歡漫遊的人，總有本領在許多不以為可以漫遊的地方漫遊。
Those who like to travel tend to have an innate ability to roam in places that were not intended for that purpose.

他們深具玩心，獨具隻眼，善於連接各類無里頭，更有本領為這些漫遊找到非這麼不可的人生道理。遊記放送的線索、路徑、山水、風情，最好都灑上一點作者的癖好，充滿可以去窺視人以及被人窺視的樂趣。最好每個人都可以在每天寫一本遊記出版。出走、探求、嚮往、迷失、無根、勇敢、自由、憂鬱、縱欲，都可以同時讚嘆詛咒一個漫遊的人。
These individuals have a playful disposition and distinctive vision that allows them to link together in their minds things with no apparent relationship and to find some rational human imperative that makes roaming necessary. Of course, it is best if the clues, pathways, landscapes and atmosphere of such travel journals are filled with a sprinkling of the artist’s preferences, because that infuses the action with a sense of peeking at the behavior of others whilst having them peek right back at us. It would be best if everyone recorded their travels on a daily basis. Leaving, seeking, yearning, lost, rootless, courageous, free, melancholic, indulgent, these are all words that can be used to both praise and curse people who chooses to roam.

「千禧伊通逍遙遊」想當然是一項旅行漫遊的安排，為期三禮拜。一切舊旅人留下的數字、數據、日記、留言、號碼、風景照、地圖指南、旅遊錄影，在空間中等待絞進新旅人的漫遊和附贈的抽獎遊戲，讓您獨享逍遙荒謬的快樂假期！
“IT Vacation” is clearly the arrangement of a journey – three weeks in duration. All the numerals, data, diaries, messages, numbers, landscape photographs, map guides and travel videos left behind by older travelers wait in space for the entry of new travelers and a lottery raffle type game, allowing you to experience the unique and boundless absurdity of a happy holiday.

當旅行手記成為最熱門的架上書，永遠的大哥大、E-mail不斷在公眾與私處出軌，「旅行」已經是這個世紀非做不可的事。
When travel writings become the most popular books, cell phones ring constantly and one has a never-ending list of E-mails, there occurs a clash of private and public space that makes taking a “vacation” something absolutely essential in our modern world.
