Travelling

I've came across a travelling blog website two days ago. It's very cool, because it's a website dedicate to travelling related blogs, very much like Blogger and Xanga but with special theme. It's very exciting to see other's pictures and thoughts on their trips.


One question was posted on the forum, and it generated twenty feedbacks and counting.

"Is 29 too old to travel?"

That's an interesting question. If I hit 29, I would imagine I have a established career and a stable relationship. I would probably think about future plan, things like buying a house and getting married. Taking time off to travel is probably the last thing on my mind. Why would I take a year or six months to go somewhere when I can generate income and prepares for my future?

However, most of the positives feedbacks are from the people who decided to go ahead with their trips despite being in similar situations. If there's something they agree upon, is that you are never too old to travel and you only live your live once.

How do you explains...

I've been reading up abit. The current question that perplexes me is that why people are born unequal? What difference separates me and a poor guy in India living out of scraps? Why am I the lucky one with education and with comforts within my grasp? I have to say this question let me struggling a bit.


To answer that, maybe we need to look into the mercy of God. From God's point of view (as I understood it), suffering in the world is only a fleeting moment, and there are greater purposes and goodness at work. I was told that all questions would be answered by merely being with God's presense. Within God's presense, all the tears and sufferings would be taken away.

Can you understand this?

What do you want to challenge today?

Each of these stories had reminded me that there are people out there who are not afraid of hardship. They are stretching their limits at this moment to achieve something that some people dream of. Am I following their footsteps, or just sitting back in my comfy chair?

Someone climbs up a vertical cliff to inspect a burial site which hasn't been touched for 500 years. "How many times you have seen something that hasn't been seen before?

Each of us has gifts. They are given to us by God, as much as life was given. How do we want to live out our lives?

Remember the three servants with money given by their master from the Bible? Haven't the servants who produce result gotten even more? Where should we spend our time today?

I have never done something that would cost live if I didn't succeed. Such great responsibility...

If you look at the volcano picture closely, you can almost see the person who stand very close to the lava opening. Although I don't advise anybody try this on their own, this picture is insanely awesome. If he took one step closer to the lava, he would be vaporized (by the gust of gas).

Someone takes pictures of volcano up-close! The process of getting down there is perious!

Edit: I've removed the skeleton picture because I think it might offend people if they are not warned about it. So I'll put it up in later blog. Muahhahhahahhahahaha. (I just like to laugh, that's all.)

People are hungier than you think

How often we see a hungry person? It seems in Vancouver, everyone has enough food to eat and water to drink.

Not so with people in another countries, unfortunately.

The photo is captured from the National Geographic DVD about the magazine's photographers. The commentator explained how camera acted as a shield between the subject and the photographer. Despite that, certain situations are too emotional to be disassociate from, and achieving that would make a person less humane in some way.

It's fixed!

The layout has been fixed, magically! The reason for the screwed up I suspect is because of the email blog feature. It might be because of the beginning HTML tag in the email there stop blogger from parsing the rest of HTML elements properly. Now I feel better for having some idea on the problem.

Something New

I don't know how I can screwed up the blogger template layout. There's nothing I have done that would make the profile box reside at the bottom of the page. What got me frustrated is that resetting the template layout doesn't fix it. I found out I can email my blog to my secret blogging address without using the laggy blogger web editor. The only drawback is pictures cannot be sent over to the blog via email. Just getting hang on things, while I'm settling in this blog space. I haven't put in a lot of personal touch here. God bless.
