Leaving the airport on Guadalcanal, the largest of the Solomon Islands, and following the island's only highway past the barren fields of the locals and the coir palm plantations of the English, the car trudged up the mountainside until halfway up it came upon field after field of fruits and vegetables: the face of Taiwan written in the soil.
步出所羅門機場，沿著島上（所國最大的瓜達康納爾島）唯一一條公路前行。車子經過當地人的荒田、英國人的棕櫚田，緩緩爬上半山腰，一畦畦菜田映入眼簾，即是寫在地上的一張「台灣臉」。
