If there is any other country that can boil this old chicken soup for the soul to such a mellow and suitable temperature, it must be the United Kingdom. A group of mighty retired old men and women from corrupt countries were attracted by the false advertisements of the Calendula Hotel in India. They came to Jaipur with different destinations. There were housewives who had just experienced the pain of bereavement and were going to India to make a living, and some returned to India. There are the justices who are looking for a young lover, the housekeeper who was abandoned by the patrons to seek cheap surgery fees, a pair of old playboys who are looking forward to an affair, an old lady who is looking for a golden turtle-in-law, and a couple of civil servants who have long been in the same bed.

The bizarre and colorful Indian style and the extreme filth and poverty of daily life have brought a huge impact on the seven old people. Some people enjoy the beautiful scenery and people's kindness, and they are well integrated into the local life. Some people complain endlessly about the sky Complainingly, he would rather name every cockroach in his room than step out of the hotel. The stories of the old people and the love of the little brother in the hotel are interspersed with the extremely splendid colors of India, and they all find their own belonging.

What I admire about Europeans and Americans is that no matter what age group they are in, they never give up their lives. They don’t think that they should make room for young people when they are approaching twilight years and then wait for death. They also think that they have Enjoy the power to travel, fall in love, and think. Even if I am the setting sun that is going to sink into the sea tonight, I will glow and burn until I die. When a person is just born, he has countless possibilities for the future, but with the persuasion of others and the limitation of real pressure classes when he grows up, the possibilities become less and less, and his current life is finally achieved. The importance of the life circle is not only manifested in the material benefits brought by the rich network, it also provides opportunities for comparison and imitation. When everyone in your life circle lives peacefully and peacefully, your little shocking thought will be dismissed as whimsical, and it is likely to be sealed in a dark corner and will never be put into practice. And your life circle is a group of guys who are full of ideas and dare to do all the year round, it must be colorful and lively. But most people's life is bound to follow the rules and seek comfort, then travel is a window to other possibilities, and when you step on your journey, you step on countless possibilities of life.

In modern Britain, there is a very good custom. University graduates will have a year to study in Europe or the United States, broaden their horizons and find their own value, and then they will work. At present, the highest proportion of backpackers and volunteers in the world are young people from Europe and the United States. Of course, some of them have the purpose of enjoyment and stimulation. I have also seen some people who would rather drink and chat in a hotel in Xi'an than visit the local area. cultural buildings of backpackers. There was a time when I used travel as an escape from reality, but I found that I still had to go back to my real life, the problem was not solved, it was still bad, it was the same as when I left, which is more or less Less waste of the meaning of travel.

Some people regard travel as a kind of practice to gain inner peace, some people regard it as a subversion and practice of book knowledge, some people regard it as a placebo for healing wounds, and some people just relax their minds after their busy lives. Everyone gets what they need, but whether they are on the road or not, what should not be changed is a strong, tolerant and optimistic heart. Travel is to make our lives better, not to let them ruin our lives, otherwise "turn left" is a good choice.

and I? If you are old and don't want to wait to die, you must "go straight"!

    Evelyn: I'm not sure I understand what most of those words mean.

    Douglas Ainslie: Well, it turns out neither did she.

  • Evelyn: [about their new environment] Initially you're overwhelmed. But gradually you realize it's like a wave. Resist, and you'll be knocked over. Dive into it, and you'll swim out the other side.
