All this is just a prelude. Until three or five days before and after the holiday, the "mobile phone photo contest" finally broke out: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan; As far away as Singapore and Malaysia, the United States, Japan, Europe, and even Kenya in East Africa and Namibia in West Africa, there are many familiar figures among friends. My best friend said, where do children need to learn geography now? Just look through their parents' circle of friends during the holidays and live together! .
Born to be a good (bad) and a strange (bad) person, I took time to pay attention to the recent long vacation and found that except for the different destinations, in fact, everyone's mentality about travel is similar: food and color.
The so-called "food" is naturally the delicious food tasted during the journey. From the tall seafood lobster to the dark dishes such as fried rice with rice noodles at roadside stalls, anything that you don't touch for a long time on weekdays or can't see at home, especially exotic food, will attract all kinds of praise. If you have a little knowledge of retouching skills and filters, you will get a lot of praise. Think about it, too. Most people are still busy worrying about three meals. Continuous exposure of 9 food pictures will definitely lead to "public anger"!
As for "color", it is not the "color" in Confucius' "food color", but the scenery. Traveling abroad, of course, is to see the scenery, whether it is the scenery in a foreign land or the exotic customs that everyone often mentions, it makes people linger. Looking at all the beautiful pictures, the most obvious change is that more and more people are beginning to bask in their favorite blue sky and white clouds.
Really?
I'll cut some pictures for everyone to see. Even if it is not blue sky and white clouds, even if the weather is a little gloomy, his/her center of gravity is still …
My friend went to Japan and took photos overlooking Mount Fuji. When we left a message to express our feelings about the beautiful scenery, she inadvertently told the "truth": the sky is blue, the air is good, the visibility is high, and everything is beautiful.
When my friend went to Amsterdam, I asked him how he felt. His answer is straightforward but to the point: it's a little cold, but even if it's cold, what you can feel in the air is fresher than a little chilly breath. During the eight days there, I have forgotten what rhinitis is all about. (PS。 Allergic rhinitis is a common chronic disease, and many people, including myself, feel the same way. As long as the air quality is poor, it will often happen. )
As the saying goes, only thieves eat meat and can't see thieves being beaten. How many people know the hardships of glamorous tourism?
On the travel website, find the right hotel and choose the itinerary; While on a business trip, try to make the mileage cheaper. What's more, it is repeatedly pondering how to "fake"! I often stay in the resort, but I still have to use the computer to do PPT to cope with unexpected work.
Every time I come back and sit on the plane, I will find my previous joy. It really comes and goes quickly. You must make full use of the "spell" holiday, such a trip is inevitable. If you think that you have a lot of work to deal with when you go back, your mood will become gloomy.
Just like last year 1 1 month, I went to Thailand with my best friend. It is early morning to get there. After a nap, we set off for the seaside. I remember telling her that I would sleep in a cage when I came back from lunch, and this stalk was left until our return plane landed. Yes, even if you are free, you certainly don't want to sleep in the cage. The four-day trip is like "fighting", even if there are no scenic spots to go, we will all soak in the shopping mall! From snacks and cosmetics to jeans and shoes, yes, I bought a suitcase. Although I encourage myself, since I am out, I must enjoy myself, but I am really tired.
Not only tired, but also a little nostalgic for the past when I return home to my original life track, but the contrast between this temporary madness and ordinary life day after day is full of loss.
Why are we obsessed with traveling?
Because of the scenery along the way and the food in a foreign land, because of the blue sky and fresh air. No matter where we come from, from a small village to a big city, or a "city dweller" born and raised like me, in fact, we all have an expectation in our hearts, that is, the blue sky and white clouds once pushed open the window and opened their mouths to breathe fresh air.
At Phuket Beach, I suddenly agreed with my friend's feelings when he was in Amsterdam. When you walk out of the hotel room, there is a blue swimming pool. Although the air is hot and dry, it is also very fresh. It turns out that many times, we are just thinking about our past life. Even if we don't express it in our mouths, our bodies and minds are so honest.
Beauty is not only in the journey and the distance.
During the Spring Festival, I went to my colleague's redecorated home. This is the ground floor of an old residential area. I heard from her before that there is a damp and dark patio here all the year round. Unexpectedly, after the renovation, she built a transparent room outdoors and put a swing chair that she had only seen in the hotel before. She said that it would be pleasant to take a nap in an armchair when the sun shines in a transparent room in spring.
Suddenly, I realized a kind of beauty: yes, when we run around trying to find a wonderful life on the journey and in the distance, the beauty that may be ignored is actually in front of us.
Ordinary days create a beautiful "living method"
I still love traveling, but when I have a holiday, I think I should leave my time to my family and family. We can do a lot of things during the holidays. Wouldn't it be better to change your way of life, don't care too much about other people's opinions, and run your own life with your heart?
In a long holiday, sleeping in a lazy beauty sleep, baking toast and frying an egg for yourself and your family may not be as rich as a hotel buffet breakfast, but isn't that what you want?
Two kilometers away from Shopping Mall by bike, there is a Thai restaurant where you can eat without waiting in line. I don't think its soup is as rich as the one on the beach in Badong, and it is much more expensive, but I didn't have to catch the red-eye flight, so it took me more than five hours to get there.
Many times, it is true to let the holiday return to the holiday and return to the original rest place.
So, the blue sky and white clouds in my heart, have I said goodbye? Tell the truth, what about a holiday of dozens of days a year, even if it is in Dali ancient town every day, even if it is in Pattaya beach every day? We still have to go back to real life, to a place where you need to live for a long time-your family.
When the smog season came last year, I bought a Philips air purifier with the saved travel budget. In the afternoon of the holiday, we sat in the living room and watched the movie comfortably and quietly. The purifier vigorously transports fresh air on one side, which is beautiful and comfortable. When my eyes jumped over its indicator light, they changed from red to purple, and finally showed a faint blue color, my heart became stable and clear.
Brush the blue sky and white clouds shown in the beautiful photos of the journey in the circle of friends again, and I will subconsciously check whether the "Anxin Blue" at home is on. The blue aperture gives me peace of mind, brings me comfort and enjoys the freedom and freshness during the holiday.
Yes, I love traveling and yearn for life, but I won't put happiness and happiness on traveling. When I don't travel, I cherish my family and everything I have done in this love harbor. With clean indoor air, delicious food, sunshine and leisure, we can enjoy relaxation, comfort and health every day, which is far longer than temporary happiness.
