Why I like to travel?

When I first know that I will not have a job soon, one of my first few thoughts were 'shit, my trips!'

Why is travelling more like a necessity instead of a luxury to me? Why?

To me, travelling is not about just going to the touristy places, snap some pictures or a lot, buy back some souvenirs or staying in posh hotels/resorts.

To me, travelling is about experiencing new experiences. To feel different feelings. To devour different tastes. To understand (at least try to) their cultures, people, thinking. All these are free and priceless. Hence my trip can be cheap.

I miss all seasons that are not offered in sing. I miss the cold winds which freezes my thoughts and make it impossible for me to reply. I miss being the person I want to be without raised eyebrows. I miss having an open heart and an open mind to welcome new suggestions.

These are just the few bits and pieces of why I travel.

MTR (monents to remember)
While walking to buy ramen for supper at Sokcho,
He said: Our highschool students are very scary. Do you have bullies in your high school?
Me: Bullies, highschool? Ahhhhh...(Korean way of expressing that they understand) *a gust of cold wind*
*pause* He waits for me to reply
*pause* He look at me wondering if i understand what he had just say.
Me: Wait. It's too cold. I'll reply later.
He stare at me in disbelief because to him, it's not cold and the night before I was still saying that I hope it will snow.
