#3 Gigi Dagostino - Ill fly with you ! Summer is calling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmeOQIx8zlY

After I left home I just have to hitch to Portugal to spend my summer with my bro, and at night I am still on the highway being lazy on the gas station.

A nice young man took me and we had some good conversation.

It's midnight and I have no plan where I am going, so he told me he is going home and he could put me there.

As I didn't know about this place, he highly suggested me to stay and visit the beautiful city.

So again, there I go!

With the fresh smell of morning air, I went running to see the city and it was just fabulous.

I stayed another night so that we could have time to go surfing and have fun.

We ate, we drank and we became friends ever since.

I gotta admit that straying around sounds unbelievably dangerous, insecure and impossible.

But if you have a strong spirit, you will have strong enough energy which pulls things to happen around you.

You can close your eyes with fear and worry,

or you can open your eyes with thankfulness to enjoy the endless sky and countless stars above your head.

It's just all up to you.

My bro talked to me and he is surprised that I am in France.

It was impossible to hitch from France > Spain > Portugal > His home in Gaia.

I really got my sloth on my back and started since the next afternoon.

But with luck I managed to get my best hitch overall as my record.

The driver kept more than 130/km and put me directly to my friend's home at night.

It was a hot day but thanks for the icy beer, I really wish one day you could see this post and know this is an epic run of my personal record going that fast for 800km+.

Of course the family is shocked when I waited them to return at their home.

===================================================================
I saw some friends asking about equality of life today.

Because of the media, in most of the cities, we can see the mourning news of Paris everyday, but nothing is shown about Lebanon, Syria, Xinjiang etc. In this modern world, more than a million of lives are lost per annual and sometimes it can be simply covered up.

Then I imagine, if the news reports all the real deaths in the globe and it must be mind blowing to see dead bodies, gunshots and bombering everyday.

Is life fair and equal? Or when will it be?

Seems like we don't even know what's really happening in the world yet.

#1 Clémentine - Pourquoi Tu Pars En Voyage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qUMg3n2j1k

So.. well, how to begin?

I made a little future plans.Thus, I have some changes around me, just like all the people that I know - they all have drastic changes.

It has been a few years that I sit somewhere with internet & a laptop, so I put on some random French songs organizing my pictures in the past years.

It was heavy and sensational.

The melody comes into my ear, it's a song that every young Chinese knows, therefore I wanna tell a story. Hmm, it would probably be a rather long story.

Let's try.

Try to write and keep surviving until my stories ends.

Maybe I can tell stories until I am ready to go.

So.. Yes, I dropped myself in Paris and fortunately my friend helped me to find a Parisian friend so I stayed with the lovely family.

#2 I didn't know where I will be going.

This is my answer to their question.

They are such a lovely and fun family, I followed them and went to Central France with the brothers to see Grandma.

Granny is always a nice kind of old lady living in a peaceful & quiet place, but this place was just too much out of my expectation - It is more like a paradise in nowhere.

This is such an authentic and finger-licking French dish, and all the home made food and wine.
Is it the national dish or is there something even better I wonder?

中國可是十幾億人口，一流行的東西可都是一晚爆紅。
反手摸肚臍，你就是瘦 。

好，我就把這傳到外國去。

Billions of population in China makes anything possible, like making a talk in town just one night.

Touch your belly button backhand and you are thin. LOL
Let me spread this to the world.

因為父親做生意的緣故，她從小就有機會去印度，在一些東南亞的國家，她看到了不同的東西。

這一次，沒有像預算中的跟爸爸一起回去，她毅然留在那個國家，打起工住下來了。

因為簽證到期，她跑來這邊了，聊天時覺得，性格跟我還蠻像的。

一身ESTONIA白皙的皮膚，明明她跟電單車在一起就是一個違和，可她修讀的偏偏就是中國文化，點菜時跟我學著國語。

雖然，她爸也會不通知任何人，突然跑掉去個一年旅行才回來，但因為這件事，她父母超擔心的。

大人擔心的是年青人不夠成熟，浪費青春，虛渡光陰，這看的是結果，憑的是經驗。

但其實作為旅行者，背包客；流浪著的年青人，比大人們更擔心自己的未來。

她跟我說 : "我不想父母擔心，很害怕這樣吵起來關係會變很差。

雖然鼓起勇氣做了這些決定，但過幾年還是沒搞出什麼，到時侯可能會感覺像是浪費了好幾年時間。"

作為一個同樣的人，做著同樣的事，我明白，要平步青雲，無憂無慮的過這些生活一點也不容易。

我只能說 : 十八九歲，就是要喝酒要去玩；什麼樣的年紀，就會做怎麼樣的事吧？ 父母的擔心，也只能靠時間去證明和消除...

如果有機會讓她父母看到，我想跟他們說 : 我深信你們的女兒會好好的照顧自己，她可能比我還要成熟。

為了爭取自己想要的東西做了這麼重大的一個決定，這是要多大的勇氣和堅持，你們應該以她為傲。

畢竟，她才 22歲，現在她需要的，就只是簡單的支持。

這種無條件的支持，我就爽快直接的給了。

She got chances to visit India due to her father's business.

This time, she doesn't go back with her father as planned. Instead, she stayed and worked in a beautiful country.

As her visa expired, I met her while she visited here. Her Estonian white skin makes a big contradiction to the scooters, it sounds like a big mismatch when she is speaking & learning Mandarin while we order food, but that's exactly what she studied - Chinese culture.

Her dad did the same kind of thing - traveling for a year or so without noticing anyone, but still it won't stop her family from worrying.

If I had a chance to show her parents, I would like to reassure them, "Your daughter is amazingly mature and awesome, I believe she could take very good care of herself.

You should be proud of her as she fights for what she loves, with such courage and passion.

After all, she is just 22, all she needs now is just support."

So there I gave her this kind of full support without a second thought.

Survey : Anyone who doesn't know what it is on the scooter?

But do you know what can be the differences to do something with it in different countries?

調查 : 有朋友不知這電單車上是什麼嗎？

在不同國家，連對這方面做些什麼，也會有很大分別啊 。

初去旅行流浪的時侯，最需要學習的當然是安全問題。
到處去陌生人的家睡，坐陌生司機的車，自然會假設過各種各樣的危機。
那時侯想，反正慢慢跟他解釋就好了，隨機應變吧 。
反正心裡充滿愛，就什麼都能解決。
但遊歷多了，才知道很多屠殺的地區，是沒有人會理會你的。
我不喜歡人人都有權可以擁有槍，拿槍出來的國家。
在我眼中，人的生命一直都是很脆弱的，所以無論因為任何理由奪人生命和自由，是最殘酷的懲罰。
最近，BOKO HARAM 隨意又殺了幾千人，人的生命，和動物昆蟲一樣，可有可無，可取可棄。
我不知道你的國家，有多詳細講及世界上的武裝分子如何存活到現在而沒人終止他們。
我不知道你對ISLAM的認識有多少。
我不知道你看過，經歷過多少生離死別，會不會已經無動於衷。
我只想告訴你... 世界上有很多不能接受的事情仍是存在的。
你沒能力改變，你沒機會沒需要親自去探索。
但你有種責任要去知道。
可蘭經唸起，死神來索命，我的眼淚也忍不住掉下來了。
*警告 : 暴力片段可能引起不安。
Personal safety is the first and utmost concern for backpacking.
Crashing random strangers couches, getting rides from drivers, you have to prepare all the worst-case scenarios.
I dislike places where people have to right to possess guns.
Life is so vulnerable and it's the worst punishment to take away somebody's freedom or life.
Boko Haram recently has a massacre in Baga area again, taking thousands innocent lives.
Although we have no power to change it, it's our onus to know our planet.

Where does the story begin?
How does a storyteller start having their own stories?

It is not allowed to host strangers in a traditional family.
However, I finally decided to host this Japanese backpacker, Koji, after I had read his hitchhike trip by selling his amazing pictures.
Curiosity really kills... So first time in my life, I saw a creature showing me the planet that we are all living on, lifely via his mouth.

And the story goes to him, not me.

Koji (井上 弘二) Blog and faceboook - http://www.i-m.co/cozyworld/Earthtktk/about.html

"I'm just a Backpacker.　I travel all around the world to change the world.
1981. I was born.
2008. I started this travel.
2013. I found a Love, and Hopes, and Roots of all the Problems.　I love this planet.　That's why I take photos on this planet."

Once you open the door, you will realise, we never go around but we talk like we know the world - our world limits to our job, family, inside our home.

I started to pick up budget backpacking after that, it is a life influencing another life.
I appreciate my freedom to see the planet with my eyes.

Backpackers or nomads have a strong spirit and loves to connect life into nature.
My concept of "beauty" and "valuable things" changed since I explored the world.
I redefine my value and source for happiness.

I left Nepal last August, and I saw he went back there as he loves it very much.
A couple of days ago, I saw his facebook accendtally, saying he was in the beautiful Annapurna (ABC), Nepal.
There was an avanlanche, he died.

I was too shock and unwilling to believe it's the truth.

So I try to think he is now traveling, just he has not gone online yet.

Keep enjoy the beautiful world Koji, your story is going on.

故事該從何說起?

每一個 STORYTELLER 又是怎樣開始有自己的故事?

很多年前的一天 :

在我這個傳統的家庭，招待陌生人是不可能的。
但當我看到他的簡介，那時我就決定要破例接待日本背包客KOJI了。
他搭便車環繞了日本一周，發現世界很大，我們的地球真的很美。
在我認識他時，他還是在路上賣他的照片，把大自然的簡單美帶到世界各地。

我當時看到他的那個表情，就和路上其他人看到我時的樣子，一模一樣。

自此我就開始到處在路上和陌生人結伴為友，露營，衝沙發。

世界真的很大很美，身無分文時在流浪，遇到的都是好人，變了好朋友。

道理我們常常聽，也常常說。 但我們所謂的放眼世界，通常那個世界只有工作，朋友，家。

連世界都未觀過，哪裡來的世界觀呢..?

生命影響生命，我也因此重新定義了什麼是我想要，什麼是重要，什麼是快樂。

去年8月我離開尼泊爾，早兩天看到他FB

原來他也去了ABC(ANNUPURNA)。

那裡有雪崩。

他死了。

我一直都不想相信。

他現在一直在旅行，在和大自然一起，沒有比這更值得快樂的事了。

你流浪第8個年頭了。

我常常覺得，你是一個會對世界和自己的生活提出質疑的人。

可能因此我們就做了朋友吧 :)

在香港的這段期間要努力喔 !

It's the 8th year you are on the road.

I believe you are the type of person who always doubt about life and routines.

Maybe that's the reason why we become friends.

All the best to your performance during your time in HongKong!

It's easy to see the scenery in a country, but it takes a long time to see the people of a place.

Living for more than twenty years and I still did not get it.

看一個地方的景點很容易，但要了解一個地方的人卻要花上好長的一段時間。

待了廿幾年，也沒辦法理解。

I received a stunningly charming postcard as a gift when I met Boris and Haris.
"Burned down hotel from the 84' olympics, we keep the spirit still flowing in us."
This is my friend skiing on this cool postcard, I can't find the coolest way to remember a friend!

Knowing not where I will end up staying everyday, I have the bright spirit that I will receive food and accomodation everyday, meeting awesome strangers / new friends.

Somehow when I am back home, I feel too secure in my comfort zone and obliged to family, social things and everything.

Yes, I am still waiting for the day to come.

My feeling?

Well...

Who are the strangers?

遇到BORIS 和HARIS 時，他們送了我自己的POSTCARD。
"84' 奧運大火後的酒店遺址，那份精神猶在。"

這超屌的明信片上就是我的朋友！ 沒有比這更酷的方法去記住一個朋友吧！

雖然不知道每天會漂到哪裡，但我一直都喜悅地等待我的食物，住宿和新朋友 / 陌生人的出現。

但每當我回到家裡，我就很不習慣在舒服區裡的人生，面對家人和交際等等，總是很不自在。

對，我還是在等著那一天的來臨。

我在想什麼?

嗯....

誰才是陌生人?

See the beautiful world and don't stuck in your phone, your room or your comfort zone.

#1 Leatherbacks are the largest turtles on Earth, growing up to seven feet (two meters) long and exceeding 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms). These reptilian relics are the only remaining representatives of a family of turtles that traces its evolutionary roots back more than 100 million years. Once prevalent in every ocean except the Arctic and Antarctic, the leatherback population is rapidly declining in many parts of the world.

China National Highway 318 (G318) runs from Shanghai to Zhangmu on the China-Nepal border. It is the longest China National Highway at 5,476 kilometres.

This route is full of trekkers, hitchhikers and cyclists chasing for their dreams every single day throughout the year, and the scenery is something superb that I have never come across in any other country.
Let's see Tibet !

318國道起點為上海人民廣場，終點為西藏聶拉木縣樟木鎮中尼友誼橋，全長5476千米。

來到這段路截車很特別，所有徒步，搭車和騎行的人都在這公路上追夢。而且景色是我未曾見過的美！
出發看看西藏 ！

I am deeply sorry.


So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch

And when you think you've sinned
Do you fall upon your knees?
And do you sit within your picture?
Do you still forget the breeze?

What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie
'Cause this has got to die

This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top

You can both keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quite as good as me

Well you know that's a lie




Trust is like a piece of paper.
When it creases, it can not recover even it is smoothed.

Suprisingly, I found a city in China that is nice for backpackers - Qingdao.
Get away from the tourist spots and dive in to the peaceful atmosphere generated by the well preserved, unique historical background since 1940!

首次在中國找到個適合背包客的城市 - 青島。

遠離遊客和景點，你就可以投身於一片寧靜之中，感受歷史帶來的浪漫氛圍。
自1940年起，青島的古建築都沒有大改動過。

It is bias.

Admire this pretty face while it still lasts.
Adore the charm of your consuming power and the pleasure your materials brought to you.
Appreciate your comfort zone while it is still in your hands.

When I was living in Macau, I'm super joy and chill.
Listen to the background music and you can feel delighful my mood was.

Many local Macauese I know are quite well-off.
Without economical pressure, I wonder where they hide their passions, their dreams and their creativity?

During traveling, I saw people from the globe have come to Macau working and living. I got loads of requests about introducing jobs to them.

There are, then, some posts sharing procedures how to apply for Hong Kong / Macau citizenships legally.


I have lost mine, and I believe you will lose yours soon.

Is it bias?

這是我的偏見。

趁她仍在時，請你愛惜這張俏臉。
享受你的購買力和物質帶給你的歡樂吧。
好好珍惜您正居住的舒適區。

當我住在澳門時，我很愜意。
聽著背景音樂，你可以感受到我每天的輕鬆心情。

我認識的許多當地人都算是很寬裕。
我常常在想，如果沒有經濟壓力，他們到底可以把自己的熱情，夢想和創造力隱藏到哪裡去了？

旅遊已久，來自世界各地的人都去了香港澳門工作和生活。我也常收到別人請求，要我介紹工作給他們。

也有看到一些文章在分享和教導如何合法申請香港和澳門籍。

我的已經失去了，我相信你的亦然。


這是我的偏見嗎？

It was an amazing birthday for me. So here are my birthday gifts.

First time a girl stands up for nomads and speaks in TED.

Then I had a celebration with my family.
My family told me I had missed several birthdays spending with them.
Back then I was in Spain, Iran.. I was camping...
They told me I have no money in my bank account and they have not taken a penny since I left last year. :)

Finally, I received two coolest birthday msg from friends..
1. "heeeey man !!! we are back on the road - for ever !!!! "
2." Not all those who wander are lost"

As a young girl, photojournalist and TED Fellow Kitra Cahana dreamed about running away from home to live freely on the road. Now as an adult and self-proclaimed vagabond, she follows modern nomads into their homes -- boxcars, bus stops, parking lots, rest stop bathrooms -- giving a glimpse into a c…

《A notebook of passion》

One night, I was in outter-ring of a Berlin tankstelle.
There was an old man wandering around like I did.

Robert Prins, 1960, an analyst programmer who has hitch-hiked since I don't remeber when, for more than 30+ years.

I started talking to him because of the notebook he was recording. This notebook is like his brain, full of datas, recorded datas that you can't imagine... He explained from the first day hh till now, over a hundred categories, or more?

It's hard for me to respond him :
"If that car is too slow I am not gonna take it, it will drag down my data and lower my average speed record."
"I have to sleep now, so the waiting time starts tomorrow."
"I should hitchhike next month because I never try to hitchhike on any 10th of January in my life."

Because I am a totally different style of traveler, I didn't talk much with him.

But maybe I am a hitchhiker, his personal record is really impressive to me. I always imagine : Who would start hitchhiking since Yugoslavia until now, and received a Guinness World Record while I was just an infant?

It doesn't matter why he hitchhikes, I simply show my total respect to this man for his dedication.

Let's make it short :

Career distance: 403,970.4 km (as of 2014-08-02T09:16)

Do you show respect and understanding to people who have different lifestyles from yours?

《筆記本裡的熱誠》

一晚，我在柏林外的加油站。

一個老男人像我一樣在徘徊著。

Robert Prins，1960，一個搭便車超過30年的程式分析員。
因為他用手上的筆記本紀錄著什麼東西，才令我開始和他對話起來。
這本筆記本和他寶刀未老的腦袋一樣，充滿你不會相信的數據。由第一天搭車到現在，他展示我每次搭便車紀錄下來過百種的數據。

他的對話每一句總令我好難給反應 :
"如果那車太慢，我是不會上的。因為它會拖慢我的平均車速。"
"我要快點去睡，因為等車時間從明天我起來開始再計算!"
"下個月我要去截車，因為我原來在人生中沒有試過在一月十日搭過便車。"

因為我是個完全不同風格的截車人，所以我沒有和他搭上很多話。

但可能我是個搭便車的人，我真的很讚賞他持有的各種紀錄。
我常常在想 : 有誰會從南斯拉夫時期開始搭車至今，在我還是嬰兒的時候，他就在廿多歲截了個金氏世界紀錄。

他為了什麼截車也許不再重要，我十分尊重他這份從沒間斷的毅力。

一句到尾 :

生涯路程: 403,970.4 km (as of 2014-08-02T09:16)

你會體諒和尊重一些和你生活方式截然不同的人嗎?
