The way I like to travel.

1. I like to travel, even only for domestic travel, but still i like it. Because when we travel we can make our knowledge expand and increase our experience level. I should change the title for this entry to the way i don't like it to be when i travel.

2. You know, the first thing that i don't like when traveling is to have some local spending their time with me. You know what i mean? I mean, when you went into some place that is new for you, you would feel 'ahhh' or 'wow', but when you come to that place with a local, i guess the reaction would be less than that. Maybe someone would say ' it's nothing'.

I remember when i went to Jong Crocodile farm, the local taxi driver that brought us there said to us " Nothing in this place to see, you can spend one hour is enough". What the hell. we are new to the place how should he know our reaction. we could feel a plain flower so beautiful in a brand new and strange place.

And i remember when we are watching crocodile jump show he said to us " let's go back, nothing else much to see". What the hell! There is another show on feeding a big fish in the pond. It could be simple, just gave some food to the fish, it's normal thing but for us the traveler, it is an excited thing to do.

That is why a travel guide always teach to respect the travelers. When the travelers so excited about a dog shit, let it be. maybe for us that is a dog shit, but for them, it is a great new experience of their life.

So, bringing local when traveling is not a really wise thing to do. Get a traveler's guide. The certified one. I have experienced a lot of situation like this when traveling.

When we travel by our own, it became an adventure to us. A great adventure, when we are finish in the end, we would feel, 'ahh' what a great journey we had (while actually we just went to some place near where we stay). But the excitement is there, let it be.

3. Another thing that i did not like is the hot sunny day, but nothing to change on that.

4. Another thing is regarding time. Rushing for time. It is not a great thing to do when you are rushing for time. A flower in a new place can be appreciated for an hour or more, it does not matter as long as we appreciate it. We might not have the chance to get back to that place next year, so we must appreciate everything. Explore everything, and don't miss a thing purposely.

5. Another thing is unwillingness to be tired. Lot of people are not wiling to get their feet to work when traveling. walking is a best method to wander around, so walking is a compulsory when you are traveling. Don't complain o getting tired.

I remember a chinese uncle taxi driver said to me " why are you so quiet?" and i said " I'm tired". He slap my knee and said " You are still young, don't be tired". I guess he is true. We are still young and we must not feel tired no matter how hard the thing is. If we need to climb then we climb, if we need to run, then we run. Young life is full of activity. We must not ever said we are tired.


Hmmmm, i am so tired of writing... to be continued when my head restart again.
