有些地方不算远,但走起来却很绕,马来西亚的仙本那就是其中之一。初夏六月,我坐两段飞机再转一小时汽车才到达。而我此行的目的是每天从仙本那码头出发,坐一小时左右的快船穿梭于各个海岛与渔村,探访被称为“海上吉普赛人”的巴夭族。巴夭族是生活在菲律宾、马来西亚和印度尼西亚一带海域的少数种族。没有国藉,没有身份,没有学校,医院和超市 Some places are not too far away, but they are very active. One of them is Semporna of Malaysia. In the early summer of June, I took two planes and made another one-hour car to arrive. The purpose of my visit is to depart every day from Semporna Wharf and take an hour or so of the Clippers to shuttle across various islands and fishing villages to visit the Ba Yao ethnic group known as the “Sea Gypsies.” Baja is a minority living in the waters of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. No country, no identity, no schools, hospitals and supermarkets
