● 如何與鄰居分享您的心意
為何作者Yu Kim在他的鄰里關係和心靈分享故事中，使用「社區巴士」作為媒介？
巴士每天經過無數個站點。由於許多人上下車的特性，它可能是一個擁擠的空間，難以建立關係和分享同情。然而，藝術家Yoo Kim關注巴士的另一個特性，即社區巴士。
社區巴士每天快速行駛，但始終在同一條路線上運行。它繞行大型巴士無法進入的村莊小巷。因此，在社區巴士上，您經常會遇到至少在附近擦肩而過一次的人。可能是住在您隔壁的人，或者您去同一家髮廊，或者可能是您經常光顧的餐廳老闆。但您不能立即稱他們為鄰居。他們只是住在村莊裡的人。作家Yu Kim告訴我們，只有當我們的心透過『Maeum Bus』來來往往時，我們才能被稱為真正的鄰居。
彷彿花香透過社區巴士稍微打開的窗戶瀰漫開來，何不稍微張開嘴，向經常擦肩而過的人打個友好的招呼？我將結交我的鄰居並一起玩樂。正如栗色頭髮的孩子在故事中朗讀的那樣，「花朵也會在你的心中綻放」。
● 與人一起生活的鄰居
在『Maum Bus』中，出現了一個類似人的半月熊家庭。「社區巴士」變成「maum bus」的過程始於這個黑熊家庭。半月熊家庭搭乘社區巴士的原因是學習韓語。但為什麼黑熊要學習韓語呢？
當作者以與鄰居溝通為主題創作故事時，他並非僅僅為了好玩而加入奇幻元素。透過邀請住在森林裡的黑熊家庭來到村莊，表明可以被稱為人們鄰居的並非只有人類。狗、貓、鴿子、麻雀等，在人們居住的地方隨處可見。許多動物與人類一起生活。提出半月熊來代表牠們。
『Maum Bus』中的黑熊學習韓語要做什麼？也許牠們想與人溝通。牠們想了解人們的故事。畢竟，學習韓文是為了讓人們成為牠們的鄰居。讀者可以透過『Maum Bus』思考。我們應該如何對待那隻想成為我們鄰居的黑熊？我們應該建立什麼樣的關係？此外，如果我們首先向牠們伸出援手並試圖了解牠們，牠們會成為好鄰居嗎？透過Maum Bus，我們可以思考擴大我們鄰居的概念。
● 打破封閉心靈框架的圖片
如果您看『Maum Bus』，您會發現經常出現正方形。每個人都身處一個四面被線條阻擋的正方形框架內。作者Soboki將「斷線」的含義，即不與鄰居溝通，表達為框架內的人。在一個四面都築有牆壁的空間裡，沒有人能聽到別人的故事，我的故事也不會洩露出去。
然而，在Maum Bus上的某個時刻，人們交換彼此的心意，就像風吹進吹出巴士的方格和窗戶，花瓣向四面八方飄落。此時，每個正方形框架都消失了，每個人都在一個場景中交流。在下一個場景中，人們正在下社區巴士。此時，看到從前面下車的孩子跑起來令人印象深刻。我正踩在一條大正方形框架的線上並跨越它。現在，無論人們身在何處，他們都能感受到他們可以將自己的心從盒子裡拿出來，並傾聽鄰居的聲音。

Amira Bennett from Toronto, Canada –
Imagine boarding a bus that doubles as your confidante; each ride offers glimpses into stories not often shared. In Toronto, the ‘Mind Bus’ stands apart by weaving together personal tales amidst the ordinary hustle of urban life. The concept revitalizes human connections, reminiscent of an intimate neighborhood café rather than mere transport. Unlike traditional public buses racing from point A to B with transactional brevity, here each stop unveils communal joys and silent struggles in melodic authenticity. This engaging medium encourages real empathy – who knows? Maybe you will unlock their hearts alongside yours during transit.

Riding on the ‘town bus’ as depicted by Yu Kim feels less like commuting and more akin to weaving an intimate tapestry of life in my local neighborhood. Each stop is a story, ripe with everyday joys and quiet sorrows — intertwined moments shared between strangers who frequent each other’s worlds but rarely speak out loud. It beautifully captures how this humble vessel connects paths; just last week, I overheard whispers about rain-soaked love notes exchanged at the laundromat nearby. A rickety seat doesn’t limit connection; rather, it nurtures bonds crafted within chaos’s cocoon – thoughts hurled through space while clinging to rails made warm by familiar hands.

Tomar el bus del pueblo se siente como conectar vidas. Cada pasajero trae consigo un susurro de historia, donde compartir momentos breves es enriquecedor.

I’m back again for my second round of ‘Mind Bus’ by Yu Kim! I tell ya, this book has become like a cozy friend to me. After finishing it the first time, I realized there are so many layers and stories that I could revisit each time with fresh eyes. The way he talks about sharing connections through those everyday moments in a village bus is just heartwarming—it’s like he’s written down all those chats I’ve had waiting for the bus on rainy days. Plus, now I’m gifting copies to friends who need that little nudge to get out there and connect with their own neighborhoods. Seriously folks, if you haven’t snagged this gem yet, what’re you waiting for? It’s worth every penny twice over!

Hey, so I recently got my hands on ‘Mind Bus’ by Yu Kim, and man, it’s like a little treasure map of human connection. The way he uses the bus as a metaphor really struck me; it reminds me of those neighborhood strolls you have when everyone knows your name but not much more. You hop on this local bus and suddenly you’re surrounded by all these familiar faces from the village—like catching up with old friends in an unexpected café! It definitely made me reflect on how important those small interactions are. Really loved that unique twist where he emphasizes empathy through simple daily rides—it hits different! Super inspiring read if you’re looking to open up your heart to the folks around ya.

Let me tell ya, I’ve been flipping through ‘Mind Bus’ by Yu Kim, and the quality is just top-notch. The cover’s like a sturdy canvas – you can really feel it in your hands! The paper’s thick too, none of that flimsy nonsense; it feels like this book will last for years without pages falling out. You can see the craftsmanship all over—each section has a thoughtful layout that flows beautifully. It’s not just reading; it’s an experience every time you open it up! If you’re looking for something that’ll hold up while you pour your heart into sharing those community stories or personal thoughts, look no further than this gem!

I can’t say enough good things about the Mind Bus! I’ve picked up a few copies because each time I read it, there’s something new that clicks for me. The way Yu Kim highlights those little interactions on the village bus makes me reflect on my own neighborhood connections here in Edinburgh. It’s all about those simple moments with folks we often overlook. Last week, I lent my copy to a friend who loves heartwarming stories and she’s just as smitten with it as I am! Genuinely, it’s one of those books you want around when you’re feeling a bit lost; it brings you right back to what matters.
Ines from Porto, Portugal –
Before I discovered the Mind Bus, I felt super disconnected from my neighbors. You know how it is—everyone’s in their own world, especially in a busy place like Porto. But after diving into this book, everything changed! Yu Kim really made me see how special those everyday bus rides can be for connecting with folks around you. It inspired me to get out and chat more; now I’m meeting people I didn’t even realize lived so close by! It’s funny what just one simple concept can do for community ties!
Elowen from Wellington, New Zealand –
Before diving into ‘Mind Bus’ by Yu Kim, I felt a bit like a ghost in my own neighborhood. You know the feeling—you pass by people daily but never really connect. Reading this book was like stepping onto that village bus with fresh eyes. It shifted my mindset entirely! Now, I’m actually stopping to chat with folks at local shops or just saying hi during morning walks. The way Yoo shares stories about those little interactions reminds you of how impactful they can be! I’ve learned that everyone has their own journey, and sharing even small bits makes the community feel more vibrant. It’s been such an uplifting experience; truly transformed how I see my surroundings.
