Believe it or not, I was raised by my parents according to Mark Twain’s famous quote,“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Therefore, we travelled a lot since I was very young, never got any perfect attendance award from any school, and even tried "My Journey" as my English homework resource. At first, I guessed all the handy travel experiences could save me trouble and time, but the more I dig in, the more I learn; hence, "The heritages in the world" became my final blog title.
I have gone to Japan and the United States for so many times that I found heritage travelling most fascinating and unforgettable. Take my last post, Itsukushima Shinto Shrine, for example, I simply couldn't imagine the tide effects in just a few hours until I literally witnessed and touched the once-floating gate! And for the Nikko Toshogu Shrine’s three cute monkeys, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” will certainly be my motto; and after picking some amazing Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Bryce memory, I found next quote 100% right, “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” As for Thailand, the best memory came from friends, just like the old saying, “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” -- The picture below is a solid proof.
And the last but not the least, Himeiji castle 姬路城, the so-called "White Heron Castle"白鷺城, which was re-opened on Mar 27, 2015 after 5-year major restoration, amazed me most when I saw her flying just like a white egret. When I cheerfully danced with her, I also learned, “Look before you leap”. Guess what's popping out...
Fortunately, no SONY Xperia Z4 smart phone was sacrificed due to the pictures above.
In summary, I''ve tried my best to recall and present the heritages, and found what I learn still keep increasing! Thank you again for reading and hope you all also benefit from my heritage blog. Let’s live to learn, and maybe we’ll meet abroad next time.
PS : Since everybody knows both cultural and natural heritages are scarce and unduplicatable, let's all appreciate, protect and preserve them for the next generation.
