既然有緣到此一訪,
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒,
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步,
讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧!

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間,
躺在綠意漾然的草原上,望著晴空的藍天,
白雲和微風嬉鬧著,無拘無束的赤著腳,
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

天馬行空的釋放著胸懷,緊緊擁抱著彼此的情緒。
共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵,互相撫慰,互相提攜,
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪,我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)!

  • Dutch students from the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands have created a solar-powered motorhome, shaped like a huge teardrop.
  • Expansive solar panels on the roof and on lateral wings allow the vehicle to travel up to 740 km (460 miles) on a sunny day.
  • The team of inventors hope that their vehicle will inspire car makers and politicians to accelerate the transition toward green energy.

A solar-powered motorhome, shaped like a huge elongated teardrop, silently rolled into Madrid on Friday as part of a month-long journey from the Netherlands to southern Spain to highlight more sustainable modes of transport.

Engineering students at the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands created the blue and white vehicle, named Stella Vita - Latin for "star" and "life" - to inspire car makers and politicians to accelerate the transition toward green energy.

Expansive solar panels on the roof and on lateral wings that unfold when the vehicle stops allow the self-sustaining house on wheels, or SHOW, to travel up to 740 km (460 miles) on a sunny day, while the battery can also power a fridge, coffee maker and laptop in the two-person cabin.

"Of course when there is no sun we have a small problem but we designed the car to charge it on the electrical grid as well," said Lotte Van Dasler, a 23-year old biomedical engineering student who has spent the last year working on the project.

She is particularly pleased with the vehicle's combined information and entertainment system, which provides real-time data on energy consumption and production, forcing the driver to carefully consider the trade-off between different uses.

"Everyone knows what a metre looks like... but if I ask how much is one kilowatt hour, do you know?

"It creates more energy awareness... You can make the choice between do I want to make my breakfast, or drive a few kilometres further."

With no power steering or assisted braking, the SHOW is tricky to manoeuvre around tight spaces but can cruise comfortably down the highway at 120 kilometres an hour.

"It's like a normal car with normal pedals and brakes," explained Tjin Ter Horst, 21, another of the car's designers. "It's nothing special except for the fact that it's 7.2 metres (23.62 ft) long, so you should take that into account."

After two weeks on the road, the group expects to arrive in Spain's southernmost point of Tarifa on Oct. 15, before taking the car to design shows and exhibitions around Europe.
