I Want to Be Happy
today was the last day of my trip, i finally went to 2 places in the city which i liked very much and did not find them earlier: a historical building group on a hill explaining the history with tea trade, and an art district in some abandoned warehouses with shops selling artefacts and handicrafts, cinema exhibition, bookstore and restaurants.
i have always thought this country i travelled to is another country and i still think it is. but in this trip i saw exhibitions telling history of the city mentioning a lot about the mainland, it s quite interesting to see there was so much connection among my home city, this country, and the mainland towards which the younger generations of the 1st 2 places both have phobia and try to avoid. with more knowledge about the history (and some life experiences as one grows up) i feel empathetic the way the mainland has developed and become. just because they had something that some others didn't have, plus some people were greedy for business, wars were started, over something we see as so trivial today. however these 3 places have developed into very different places now, and i still don't want my home city to get interfered and disturbed by the mainland.
after this trip i really feel travelling alone is good for one's personal growth. planning itineraries and finance, being more alert, having time to think and read, looking for things that amuse you, making choices and decisions, getting lost and finding the right ways. now i feel mentally recharged and prepared for the challenges in life. i am glad i have gone to travel instead of staying at home.
