About Me

ABOUT ME

**I am very sorry for not replying messages recently, because I have been so busy and haven't visited the site for a while. I hope everyone who has messaged me wouldn't be upset about it**

I decided not to tell about myself within few hundreds words because I hate telling others about myself in words.:) The people who meet me in real will be good judges :)

I haven't met many people on this site but I think I will try to meet as many as I can when I have more time for travelling. I am really looking forward to my real CS experiences in other countries

You may see my location in the goddamn Gansu, China or whatever, but actually I am in Hanoi. The IP is just directed to somewhere that I have no idea. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumping in Livingstone, Zambia
Killed a chicken (did the whole thing: cut its head, get all the intestine, heart, liver... out...)
Ate coconut worm in Can Tho
Climbed up Fansipan while the knee was injured (from a bike accident to Mau Son Mountain)
Drove a dirt bike along Cambodia after 10 minutes of studying how to drive it, and often drove while sleeping... And got a $25 fine by Cambodian policemen within 15 minutes driving in Phnompenh...
Got lost in a jungle in Koh Chang
Snorkling in Mentawai

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'd love to meet people who can teach me how to travel wisely, and how to have a real happy life :)
Learn: I wanna learn more about the love between human and nature, I wanna learn how great people from many different cultures can travel together and have happy time together as well as can be good friends afterwards.
Share: All things about different cultures and travel stories. People with many experiences in travelling will be my choice :)
