What is one thing that you have always wanted to try?

I’m very active person and there are many diverse things that I extraordinarily want to try, but the most attractive thing that I want to do is to be a backpacker. I have a bad sense of direction, so I think that being a backpacker facilitates me to have a good sense of direction because I have to find the way where I will go and how I can get there on a safe and the best way. Normally, always have my family or my friends accompany with me to go to a further place, or as long as I need ride to get there. I never need to memory the route, even though some place I get there frequently, I still don’t know how to get there by myself. If I have this experience, I will have the habit to memorize the route that I got there, figure out the way that I will go. Right now, I’m daunted by traveling alone.

In addition, being a backpacker causes me become a more independent and prudent person. I need to in charge of everything: checking the route before I leave, finding the hotel, making sure bring some necessity. At the same time, I have to be careful because some places are not safety enough, and no one alerts me to be careful. I have to be vigilant and sensitive. Otherwise, it is vulnerable to be in the dangerous environment.

I just have to have more sense of direction and become a independent and cautious person, that is why I want to try to be a backpacker.  

Spring Festival

In China, the most famous holiday is Chinese New Year. Traditionally, it celebrates a new year. Normally, people do not have time to come to family reunion except for the Spring Festival. It is the most important holiday in China because it is the opportunity for family members spending time together. Generally, people work far away from hometown, and they do not have time to visit their parents and relatives because it takes a long time for the round trip plus they do not have long holiday like Chinese New Year.

When Spring Festive is coming, each family begins to prepare New Year stuff, such as new clothes, food, and decoration of house and so on. There are several things are essential: couplets and lamps for decoration, which symbolize prosperity and bliss; fish and oranges for food – fish represent remnant that means you will not run out of your money and you are opulent, and oranges represent auspicious because in Mandarin the pronunciation of orange sounds like the pronunciation of lucky.

Normally, we have ten days off. Visiting relatives is the main active. However, right now more and more people travel around the world during Chinese New Year. The traditionally actives are eating, talking, watching show and play Majiang.  We prepare abundant food; fish, chicken, pork and diverse soup are common food. Each family has similar dishes while they are tested different because in China we do not have recipe. During the Eve dinner, watching the TV show is the dinner’s main melody. Majiang is invariably traditional game, and people play it after dinner.

It is precious festival for me because I seldom visit my parents after I graduated from high school. During undergraduate study, I visited my parents once pay year; when I got job, I went back home once two years because it is horrible to book a ticket. Spending time with family is always fantastic, especially with the unique atmosphere and euphoric surroundings. 

Take exercise: No matter how busy I am, I try to take exercise everyday. It is an indispensable party of my daily life. Every day I spend a long time on studying, and have a sedentary lifestyle. After long time studying and seating, I always feel uncomfortable and sore on my back. Doing exercise is such a beneficial way to mitigate sore, relax and become more peaceful. I like to do yoga by myself. Doing yoga accompanied with beautiful melody is conducive to sublimate mind and shape my body. If I'm not in the mood to study, I will do yoga to let me become more motivated and vigorous.

In addition, I also love walking. After dinner, I prefer to walk with my close friend to Temple.  During that time, we can share our story, practice English, learn from each other and appreciate the amazing night view. We always laughing because both of us have a lot of funny things to share with each other. We really love to walk around the Temple to saturate into the peaceful  and tranquil environment. There are invariably a lot of members with smile faces to go in and out. When I see their happy faces, so do I. Such contagious environment precipitates my get out of any unhappy feeling.

Taking exercise is required because our body and mind need to be temper.
