5. Tell us briefly the travel story you shared in LOST.
Part of a longer story about traveling from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to Fenghuang, China (Phoenix Ancient Town). Mostly this is about the insanity of trying to buy train tickets when you don’t speak the language – and at the end of the semester, at that. In other words, 500,000,000 college students are also buying tickets, all at the same time. But we got there in spite of it all.

The insanity.

7. What do you hate about travel?
The insanity.

8. Do you like to travel alone or with people? Why?
Alone. I only have to put up with my insanity.

9. What do you think about during travel?
Love. Beauty. Life. People. How lovely the world is when we let it be.

10. Any future travel plans?
Book tour in the USA this summer. Ugh. But on the horizon, Egypt, Italy, Bulgaria. And more travel in China. Tibet.

我從柬埔寨金邊去往中國鳳凰古城這一個長故事中的一段。主要講的是在學期末嘗試購買火車票的瘋狂行為,當你無法說當地語言時。換句話說,500,000,000名大學生同時和你一起在嘗試買票。但盡管如此,我們還是到達了那裏。
