Dear Taichung Happiers:
Please join me to thank Joey for his 12/15 hosting. The topic "The Meaning of Travel" did draw a lot of attention.
Since we grew up, not so frequently as in childhood, we’ve been touched by daily life; on the contrary, during every trip, every little thing moves and sweetens us deeply and it always makes us smile like babies. What captures our hearts continuously seduce us to fly again: vibrant cities, delightful sights, surprising natural wonders, etc. The list is endless, indeed.
Even we can enjoy some exotic food in Taiwan to refresh our memories of previous trips. It is also desirable for me to take the time machine to track the smartest man ever, Albert Einstein, to see why he didn’t like to comb his hair. Moreover, flying without wings is a perfect alternative option – hop into a movie theater and the world is ahead:

We can fly, we can “travel”, and we can take adventures every day. Our customized footsteps differentiate ourselves. So, why not sign the contract for the road less traveled and be open to an unexpected journey ? (Dear Founder and members: I don't refer to a new Club. Please don't misunderstand it.)
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
