This is the sister cache of GC28A3V "An Old Friend from Far (Yokohama)."

(Japanese Hiragana phoneme, without dull sound/roman transcription) ともあり えんほう より きたる また たのしからすや/to-mo-a-ri e-n-ho-u-yo-ri ki-ta-ru ma-ta ta-no-shi-ka-ra-su-ya

When you meet your friends from far away, how about enjoy geocaching in Taiwan together. If you come from far away for cache hunting, of course Taipei welcome you.

in Chinese

明示的座標是天母十字路口,不是藏寶的座標。

論語是由孔子 (B.C. 551-479) 及其弟子的對話所編輯而成的。所含思想古今通用,比方說,下面表達人生三種喜悅的句子就非常有名:

學而時習之 不亦說乎
有朋自遠方來 不亦樂乎
人不知而不慍 不亦君子乎

其中第二句更是有名。被翻譯成多種語言。當然也有日文。

(翻譯日文) 友有り遠方より来る 亦楽しからずや
(除去濁音的讀音/羅馬字) ともあり えんほう より きたる また たのしからすや/to-mo-a-ri e-n-ho-u-yo-ri ki-ta-ru ma-ta ta-no-shi-ka-ra-su-ya

藏寶的座標如下:

N (あ + え)° (り - よ).(る - の) E (と + の + か)° (ま - た + す - し). (ん x (り + ほ + き))

如果您的朋友來訪,何妨帶他們尋寶一起分享美好時光。如果您本身特地自遠方來尋寶,臺灣熱烈歡迎您!!

in Japanese

表記の座標は天母交差点の座標であり、キャッシュは表記の座標にはありません。

『論語』は孔子 (B.C. 551-479) および弟子のことばを編纂したもので、そこで語られる思想は、現代でも通用するものが多くあります。例えば人生の悦びを表現した次の一説は有名でしょう。

學而時習之 不亦說乎
有朋自遠方來 不亦樂乎
人不知而不慍 不亦君子乎

2行目は、たとえば『友あり遠方より来る、また楽しからずや (ともあり えんぽうより きたる また たのしからずや)』などと訳されます。突然ですが、キャッシュは下記の座標にあります。

N (あ + え)° (り - よ).(る - の) E (と + の + か)° (ま - た + す - し). (ん x (り + ほ + き))

友達が久々に訪ねてきたら、一緒にキャッシュハントをして楽しい時間を過ごしてはいかがでしょう。もちろんあなたが遠くからキャッシュハントに来たのなら、台湾はあなたを歓迎します。
