 | When I eat alone, I may finish or may not finish the food. With friends, we can share the food, doesn't matter who pays or by going Dutch, but it saves money as well as no (or less) wastage of food. Wan |

| Yes, I will never join a tour from a travel agency unless I am sure the certain place I am unable to travel by our own. I never regret about doing this because I believe there is nothing I would miss if do enough search and preparation in advance. Thus, travel itinerary is flexile and I could relax myself within beautiful natural spots I prefer. Also, my experience, a group of two for travel is the best no matter who your partner is (I mean a good friend or lover only). Not good if more than 2 persons in a group. Sunnydream, I agree to order food I can eat up every time. But in some occasions, travel with others do save cost, especially when rent a car is necessary. |

| Habit is a cable, we weave a thread of it every day, and at last we cannot break it.  |

I know the meaning of hunger when my father passed away, the sole bread winner. I was 9 years old then. I also saw 4 of my brothers had to drop from school. Wan |

My parents both experienced the hard times in 1970s in China. Sometimes, they share us their experiences. |

| Rich people and other aristocrats spend money whatever they like because they thought it's their hard-earned money they have the rights to it. These kind of people become individuals in their own society. Buying two mobile homes to travel to 60 countries is a dream with uncertainty, a dream to quench the thirst of travelling, and on the other hand do they expect and hitches, engine breakdown, etc.? When my friends went on an expedition on motorbikes, from London to Malaysia, they brought along mechanics like in Dakkar Rally where we see engine problems, uneven terrains they have to endure, etc.; they should have proper preparations before embarking this meaningful journey.
