A trip to Wen Tai: the significance of travel (1)

In recent years, the slogan "The world is so big, I want to see it" has been known by my parents-from the circle of friends. Perhaps because of the influence of this sentence, perhaps because of the improvement of living standards, friends around me have gradually become fond of traveling.

At three o'clock, we know that friend A went here and friend B went there-from the circle of friends. In the vicinity of the scenic spot, the most frequently heard words are "Hurry up, take a picture of me and I will send a circle of friends." As for myself, of course, I have to stick to the rules. Wherever I travel, I will take a photo in front of the scenic spot and put it in my circle of friends to "punch in".

However, sometimes, under the craze of taking pictures, people will inevitably feel, what is the meaning of travel?

"I found one thing." My friend told me while brushing my circle of friends.

"What is it?"

"Many people travel just to make friends." He didn't look up. "But if you ask him what the meaning of the trip is, he can't answer anything."

I am a little embarrassed to think that I am also a member of the "punching group", but I am also a little unconvinced: "The meaning of travel ... what do you think is the meaning of travel?"

"Have you found your meaning?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you haven't found yours, then I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"Did you copy your homework when you were reading? When copying homework, we look at other people's answers, and we will have the illusion that this question is very simple, and we will tell ourselves that this copying is only to cope with the teacher. If you want to do it yourself, you can solve it yourself, but this is often not the case. You may not be able to solve this problem in the end. "

"What does that have to do with this?"

"Some people have to tell themselves when they travel,' The world is so big, I want to see it'. But is this the purpose of your visit? You may just happen to see it and think it makes sense. If you don't have a set of your own ideas, you are easily influenced by others. "

"But you have been to many places, maybe you can feel more."

"If you think that if you go to more places, the meaning will be deeper or more unique, then you just don't understand."

"I don't understand."

"You don't want to travel to make friends. After you come back from Thailand, maybe you will understand. "

The first day of arriving at Don Mueang Airport in Thailand was after two o'clock in the morning. Although my friends and I are too tired to open our eyes, we still have to pull ourselves together and find the person who will pick us up, and then take a chartered bus to Pattaya.

Because I was sitting in the last row of a seven-seater car, the seat next to me was crushed and my luggage was put down. After more than two hours' drive, I couldn't have a good rest and sleep-all the way was smooth, but when I braked or turned, my luggage slipped and I was afraid of being hit.

Sober, I looked at my friend sleeping in the front seat and suddenly remembered the meaning of travel. What is the meaning of travel?

"What do you think is the meaning of travel?" As soon as I arrived at the hotel in Pattaya, I asked Ping when I pushed my luggage into the lobby.

"You mean this trip?" When Ping is tired, her eyes look like Donald Duck's eyelids droop.

"Both will do."

The beautiful woman next to her stretched herself and interjected, "There are still eight hours before our appointment in thai massage at 10, and then you will know what the significance of my visit is."

Ping Yuyao nodded-we can only sleep on the sofa in the hotel lobby at four o'clock in the morning, because the room we booked is for tonight.

It seems that the cheap flights taking off in the early morning have tortured my friends crazy. But perhaps this is also one of the meanings of traveling: we have already booked this flight, and of course we are psychologically prepared, but sometimes we have never really experienced it. Earlier preparation is just "bare chin", which is easier said than done.

The most famous in Thailand, in my opinion, besides the shemale, is thai massage.

May went to Thailand during a summer vacation in college. According to her description, the massage in Thailand is really completely different from the massage under the banner of "Thai style" in China. Of course, before the trip, she added more ink to render it several times. Coupled with the fatigue of the night machine, when we go out, we have no intention to pay attention to the "exotic scenery" everywhere, just want to get to the store and be the first guests they open today.

I am in the same room as Yao. When I was changing clothes, I said to Yao, "Although I am very tired, I don't want to sleep. I feel that sleeping will waste an experience. After all, I don't know anything when I fall asleep. "

But in the process of massage, my aunts' skills not only relaxed my body, but also broke through my last line of defense. Finally, I can only comfort myself: I massaged for two hours and slept for at least half an hour.

I feel a little awkward when tipping. After all, there is no such experience in China, and I always feel that giving money directly to my aunt will make them feel embarrassed.

"What are you embarrassed about?" Mei said. "A large part of their income is tips."

Sometimes I feel too self-righteous, but sometimes I blame myself for not thinking of others. I haven't grasped this boundary yet, but beauty reminds me that any consideration that doesn't take others as the premise is really self-righteous.

The shemale show and the adult show at night are the nightmare of friends-because neither performance can be filmed. I can't send pictures to my circle of friends with my mobile phone when the actors of the shemale show are singing, and I can't send pictures to my circle of friends when the cast of the adult show says "The adult show is too adult".

When I was in China, I always heard that being a shemale in Thailand was a last resort. I imagine that they are of the same nature as the ancient "eunuchs". In order to make a living, they have to give up part of themselves.

After watching the shemale show, I feel that although the profession of "shemale" will be criticized, there is always something that makes my eyes shine. They won everyone's applause on the stage. At least at that time, they can get rid of all the troubles in the world and become a real star followed by the spotlight and loved by everyone.

"Don't think that just because you see a shemale on the stage, you think their life is glamorous." After you come out, you see the actors who have just performed on stage soliciting photo business at the door. They look like different people on the stage, confident and proud. "Tiffany Theatre is still like this. What will they do in other unknown small theaters in order to make more money? " While waiting in line to take a photo with them, a young man next to him said to his boyfriend.

Perhaps many times, people are like a blue silk, with a shiny surface, but they are still melancholy after all.

This adult show shocked the simple Yao. She didn't take much part in the arrangement of the trip, nor did she think about the meaning of the word "adult".

"Look, that man is playing drums with his penis." When she lined up for admission, she was at the front, and she was a little dumbfounded about what she saw. "ah? What do you mean? " Yao leaned over and came back with a black face.

When looking for a seat, Mei said, "Be sure to find a seat in the back. I think the tour guide said that the performers would randomly come down and find someone to interact with. "

"How to interact?" We all feel very curious.

She pointed to the man who played drums with his penis. The man walked to the middle seat, straightened himself up, and motioned the girl in front to pick up his "tool" to play the drums: "This is interaction."

To tell the truth, I, Heping and Mei, are both "open-minded" people, so seeing such a performance with "visual impact effect" is only a little funny at best, while the simple Yao always looks unacceptable.

"So this is the adult show."

"Yes, as a matter of fact, we have written the itinerary." Suddenly, I thought of the "meaning of travel" I realized in the morning, and thought that Yao might have similar feelings at the moment.

"But I didn't expect' adult' to mean this."

"But the word' adult' is already very' adult'." I was wrong. She is not ready, but she still can't cope.

She was unprepared and even made a mistake in preparation: "Now I think about it, it seems so, but I don't know why I really didn't think it was about this when I saw your planned trip."

My friend Xiao Chen knew I was watching an adult program and told me about his experience in Thailand a few years ago: he was dragged to the stage to interact with the performers to shoot balloons, and I asked him how to shoot them. He said that he just took a balloon and watched the actor shoot a sharp weapon to pierce the balloon in an indescribable place.

I feel a little sick. Xiao Chen criticized me: Every place has different customs. We travel to experience the difference. You are rare and strange.

I want to seek the support of my teammates, but they won't find such a performance "disgusting" like me. They just think that pornographic symbols are too obvious, but they are dull and unattractive.

I kind of feel that maybe I haven't put my mind right yet. Travel is actually about experiencing differences. If you always criticize things different from yourself, it seems unnecessary to travel. Anyway, as long as you stay in the circle, what you see will always be "normal"

There are spring outing and autumn outing in primary school and junior high school. According to today's children, in order to ensure safety, the school no longer organizes similar activities.

On the one hand, I feel very happy that we can have such an experience, but on the other hand, I feel that I can't bear such memories, because when we travel in spring and autumn, we often go to amusement parks.

There is the most exciting scream in the world on the playground, which is my most annoying sound. I once got up my courage in college and stepped into the happy world of Chimelong twice. I played the 10-ring roller coaster for the first time and the U-shaped skateboard for the second time, which made a little progress compared with my childhood.

After returning to the starting point, I got out of my seat with the help of my friend. I only said one thing: the weightlessness I can bear is an upright elevator running under normal conditions.

Watch others play a vertical roller coaster in the rest area of the playground. When you reach the top, you must stop for a few seconds to "prepare yourself" and then rush down. I thought, if I was on it, maybe the seconds when the machine stopped, it was also the time when my heart stopped beating.

I didn't expect that I was so afraid of heights that I would agree to such a project as "jungle leap" during my trip.

On the second day of coming to Pattaya, we felt the enthusiasm of the mountain, but this enthusiasm made me nervous because I was afraid that it would want to keep me.

This is the happiest day for May and Yao who pursue excitement, but it is my nightmare of peace-especially the fear of heights is much higher than mine.

Jumping in the jungle, as the name implies, is jumping through the jungle (with good safety measures). However, according to my remaining reason, it is nothing more than a high-altitude zip line-sliding from here to there; Or something similar to a wooden bridge-but wooden bridges have various forms; Or downhill-from top to bottom.

When the tour guide told me that there was no signal on the mountain, I chose to put my mobile phone in the locker. Anyway, I want to take pictures, and there are others who can help me, but I can't play with or without a mobile phone. Just afraid to let me take care of myself.

"I always feel like I'm going to fall." I told Yao.

"Why?"

"Because I stood up, when I was in you, corner can't see this small platform under my feet. I always feel that I will fall if I take a step back. "

"Don't be afraid, you have a seat belt. Besides, I will catch you. "

The beauty said beside her, "Are you all right? You're not too scared. Ping was too scared to say a word. "

It is said that I am not so scared anymore, just because there are people in front and behind. I comforted myself that I couldn't be so unlucky among so many people. Secondly, there are only zip lines and wooden bridges coming and going in front. I don't know whether to say habit or numbness.

When Yao realized this, he said, "Some things are just habits. Maybe after today, you will be as numb as all the high-altitude projects today, so you won't be afraid. "

But of course, it won't be that simple. When I thought that the jungle leap was nothing more than these two things, I suddenly descended rapidly, so I moved out the sentence: the weightlessness I can bear is an upright elevator running under normal conditions.

A pair of Hong Kong couples on the same team, the girl leaned on the boy's shoulder and said, "It's so high. What should I do? This coach will cheat and will soon slide me down. I must be scared to death. "

The boy took her hand and said, "I'll let him slide you down gently." You don't have to be afraid. "

Hearing this, Yao turned to imitate him and took my hand. "I'll let him gently slide you down, too. You don't have to be afraid. "

As a result, Yao left one step ahead of me and immediately returned to the hut after a thrilling downhill. I struggled to tell the coach that I must be slow. Although I feel weightless, I feel a little scared halfway. The vertical distance of downhill is not as high as I thought, and the coach is not as deceptive as I thought. He really "let me go" slowly.

After flattening down, his face was pale. We teased her "like a steamed bun."

There are many things that make us afraid, but sometimes we can't tell whether we are really afraid or "afraid" itself. You may take the first step bravely, and when you get used to it, you will find that we are the only ones scaring ourselves all the time.

The mountain is high and enthusiastic, but not enthusiastic enough for us to stay.

I fell in love with the freedom of whales in my early years and wanted to witness their heroism with my own eyes in my lifetime. I was excited for several minutes when I learned that my trip to Thailand had diving activities.

"It's just snorkeling, and there are no whales." Beautiful words suddenly brought me back to reality.

/kloc-when I just graduated in 0/6, I went to Sabah, Malaysia when I was traveling in the company department. Because the department boss likes diving very much, there were two days of diving in the five-day trip at that time: one day snorkeling and one day deep diving.

My first dive was a pity dive. I'm a little scared, because the water on the beach is muddy when I touch the gestures I need to know in deep water. After all, when I was a child, I was deeply poisoned by the movies broadcast by Pearl TV. I'm a little afraid of the deep sea. Somehow, I seem to be breathless with fear.

Later, I went to the snorkeling area by boat, thinking that although it was a free trip, it would cost at least 600 yuan to dive deeply. Based on the principle of not wasting, I got up the courage to plan a group with the coach and a person in our department and went to a place far away from the ship.

After practicing several times, I found that my fear was reduced a lot, but every time I was about to go deep, I was pulled up by the coach. After repeated several times, I realized that it was difficult for the male planner to decompress underwater, and the eardrum was very painful.

A few days on the water seems to have been on the boat for thousands of years. We tried to get into the water many times, but all failed. It turns out that our other colleagues have been diving for several rounds. When we came up, we were still far from the ship because of the push of the waves. "In fact, if we dive, we can get back to the boat soon, because the waves are on the water and the bottom is very calm." The coach said so, but there was nothing we could do but swim back.

Finally, my first dive ended in failure. But I think the experience is not bad. After all, my colleagues' physical discomfort prevented us from diving, and I tried diving bravely-but when I swam back to the boat and looked at the endless sea, I always imagined that a great white shark suddenly appeared and bit off half of me.

Snorkeling not far from the island, wearing life jackets, goggles, biting a diving pipe to see the fish. On that day, the weather was fine and the water was clear. I saw many fish. Just like the animals in the zoo, they are not afraid of people, but want to be close to us. But when we thought they were close to us and wanted to reach out and touch them, we found that they were not far away from us. Sometimes, I wonder if they are phantoms. We thought they really existed, but they were just out of reach.

The snorkeling trip was similar to that at that time, just like watching small fish by the boat. Only this snorkeling, the waters where fish are seen in the water are a little muddy, and the small fish can't see clearly, but there are many dry corals.

During this period, I also experienced a sea fishing, and I felt like Satoshi Ohno. Although I didn't catch any fish, I was so happy talking and laughing while waiting with my friends.

I remember when I went to Wuhan before, Bei said: The most important thing is not where I went and what I did, but who I went to this place with and who I did these things with.

Expectation often makes us feel lost after getting something. This loss may be difficult to cure, but it can be alleviated as long as you are around.
