Dear Taichung Happiers,

Q: What does a Polar Bear get when it sits on the ice too long?
A: Polaroids

What is your touched travel dream? Award-winning author Judith Thurman reads dreamers like a book: “Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.” No? Yes!!! What assuredly arouses your curiosity about your dream destination? Our host Queena is anticipating Happiers’ intensified imagination can reach a high pitch. We will entrench ourselves further in the impulse and bliss of dreaming out loud--welcome to join us!

Receiving the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 2010, English author of fantasy novels Terry Pratchett (28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015) deciphered why people go traveling. “So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” This perception can be perfectly proclaimed by Mr. 詹宏志’s travel stories—especially, when he was in Japan, how he was struck by the chef’s persistence in demanding the very different aesthetic of the sushi’s authentic and august state; how he referred this educational encounter to Chinese philosophy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb99nrHgX08 Besides, in the true story Displacement, the floating cruise ship caressed award-winning cartoon artist Lucy Knisley’s mixed emotions and converted her thoughts into the faith and force of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqz6ASkTcOU

What part of your favorite adventure book resonates with your happiness or resilience? In “Out of Africa”, Danish author Karen Blixen beautifully depicted why a trip to see wildlife can detach yourself. “There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.” So, have a glass of this family champagne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VglB5ksvYvE And, what will these photographs make you feel? http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/02/the-2016-sony-world-photography-awards/470574/ While we are awakened by learning from wild animals, in some corners of the world, nature assets are still stripped. Why? How to effectively resolve this paradox? http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/29/africa/kenya-ivory-burn/index.html

What enthusiasm along the journey would you like to follow? After being reshaped by your journey, how can you return the extra “colors” you earned to yourself and to the locals? French artist Julien Seth Malland has been composing gorgeous spirits and hearts while traveling around the world. http://www.boredpanda.com/street-art-julien-malland-seth-globepainter/ Moreover, how to bridge the gap between our expectations and the realities of travel? Can the sense of being powerless during the journey humble us and dramatically change our lives? Well, this “good dinosaur” can dance the twist and turn the tide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-RgquKVTPE&app=desktop

From “The Fairy Tale of My Life” (by Hans Christian Andersen)

To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.

When is the most poetic moment of a journey? How to pack lighter and enjoy more? Here is the key released by Nobel Literature Prize laureate Alexander Solzhenitsyn (11 December 1918 – 3 August 2008): “Own only what you can carry with you; Let your memory be your travel bag.” Yes. Let our shared memories fly us high! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe6teO3qHXk Join us. Thanks.
