<p class="ql-block">Good people are everywhere! Early in the morning on the tenth of August, I flew from Kunming to Kuala Lumpur, stayed at the airport for several hours, then transfered to fly from the northern to southern hemispheres, Crossing the equator, took me 12 hours, I felt so tired, sleepy and hungry. It was just 9:30 p.m. local time when I arrived at Sydney Airport, and I was looking around, almost all the restaurants were closed. I was really hungry,exhausted and cold. I tiredly climbed from the first floor to the second floor, dragging two suitcases, and finally saw a Vietnamese snack bar that was closing and two little sisters cleaning the table. I rushed up and said, "Excuse me,Can I have some food? I am so hungry. "The shy Vietnamese sister smiled and made a phone call. Then took out two boxes of roll noodles, a box of barbecued pork 🥩 rice noodles, four siu mai, four spring rolls, two boxes of peanut butter. Seeing so much food, I was really hungry, so I picked up a spring roll, put it in my mouth, ate it and asked, "How much is all food?" It's all free for you."Really?" "Yes, Really! ..." Wow, Thank you so so much. "You are so welcome. Enjoy!" I shouted "Wow, so delicious. We love Vietnamese food and we love you". The little sister smiled again and shyly walked away. I gobbled up a meal of Vietnamese snacks. Not in Vietnam, not in China, but in Australia in the southern hemisphere. Suddenly feeling "good people meet each other, bad ones stay far away, it is good that I can speak English well during my traveling overseas ".</p><p class="ql-block"></p> <p class="ql-block">Thanks for your smile and your noodles.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">A Vietnamese girl who gives charcoal in the snow.</p> <p class="ql-block">A beautiful night in Brisbane.

Very yummy.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Most hostels in Australia offer a big,nice and clean kitchen from early morning to midnight, some even for 24 hours to tourists from all over the world. The tourists can buy some food they like from supermarkets, then cook food by themselves in the kitchen. That can help me to save a lot of money and I can eat my favorite food.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">I know how to cook steaks.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">Homeless people in Australia can cook their food freely in public electromagnetic cooker, which local government supplies in the park. </p> <p class="ql-block">Some places even offer free boiled water for homeless people and tourists like me.</p> <p class="ql-block">Nice to see Luis and David in Brisbane, Australia. and we had dinner together, which I cooked at the hostel I stay in.😁</p> <p class="ql-block">Winter in Australia is also very beautiful.</p> <p class="ql-block">Free stoves can be seen everywhere in the park in Australia.❤️❤️❤️If we have it in the village, probably every single day there are lots of people cook BBQ food in the park.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Human beings live in harmony with nature truely.

In the distance, the unfinished building shrouded in misty rain will be Brisbane, even the largest casino in Australia, which is built not to welcome the 2032 Summer Olympic Games, but to welcome gamblers from China.</p> <p class="ql-block">The bird always comes to my table when I eat my food.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Four guys gathered on the Gold Coast,had a crazy night, which I had never spent before.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">The night view of the Gold Coast is also quite beautiful, not only the charming beaches and pretty girls.😁😁😁</p> <p class="ql-block">Those who haven't been to Australia until they eat kangaroo steak.

So so yummy!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋</p> <p class="ql-block">Walking ten kilometers along the beach of the Gold Coast, I finally saw the Air Show of fighter planes from the United States, The UK and Australia. Thousands of tourists and locals flocked to the white beach, with umbrellas, bare backs, bikinis, families, groups of people and even one person scrambling to witness the annual Air Show of the Gold Coast in Australia.All kinds of the most advanced fighters take turns to go into battle, performing various difficult tumbling movements between the blue sky and white clouds, as well as skydiving.Let the audience be dazzled and applaud continuously. The most awesome is American F22 fighter plane took off directly from the US military base in Hawaii and participated in the three-day air show. Its roar made all the audience feel frightened and felt that the war was just around the corner. Very shocking and exciting.I sigh from the bottom of my heart that this is the real clearing style. This trip to the Gold Coast is worth it!</p> <p class="ql-block">This is how American soldiers' families expect soldiers to go home for dinner?</p> <p class="ql-block">This is how American soldiers care for their families</p> <p class="ql-block">It was because I was wearing this T-shirt that the Australian Ukrainians took the initiative to take photos with me.</p> <p class="ql-block">Nice to see the US soldier again.😁😁😁</p> <p class="ql-block">The United States, The UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are five-eye alliance and are so easy for me to travel and talk to the people who speak English, because they are all countries whose mother tongue is English.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Life should be like this....😁😁😁</p> <p class="ql-block">Learn from Colombian players on the beach of the Gold Coast.

Today it was a fantastic day!</p> <p class="ql-block">They taught me games and I taught them Chinese chess.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">At first, I thought the free boating in Brisbane Lake would take ten minutes at most, but it took me three hours at a time.</p> <p class="ql-block">Being stood up by friends, I walked around the coastal city alone and suddenly looked back. The moon was hanging high, so beautiful and round. I suddenly realized that today is Lunar July 15.</p> <p class="ql-block">Thanks for everything during my stay in Gold Coast,Australia. Brother Peter.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">The strangers who helped me carry two big suitcases from the first floor to the sixth floor were actually two Japanese girls when I checked in at the hostel one day during my stay in Gold Coast,Australia last month.</p> <p class="ql-block">Very happy to be back to Brisbane after Gold Coast this morning.</p><p class="ql-block">Once again, this afternoon it was so happy to take the free boat called CityCat to explore the beautiful Brisbane Lake and feel how Australians live in the suffering country.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">Sydney, Sydney.

Today, it suddenly became sunny and warm.To my surprise, hundreds of years old trees can be seen everywhere in the free park, some of which are shaded by green leaves, and some are yellow and some are so huge even I have never seen in my hometown Yunnan. I know Spring is coming in Australia. So that I enjoy so beautiful weather wearing a T-shirt and walking in the Bay Park and Bondi Beach the whole day.</p> <p class="ql-block">The blue sky and white clouds in Sydney are very similar to those in my hometown Yunnan.It seems that the difference is the water here is very clear, even though it is winter.

Prices are also more expensive.That's why so many rich people all over the world immigrate to Australia every year.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">Goodbye to Australia, then Hawaii, the first stop of my journey to the United States, is known as the most famous holiday paradise in the world.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">Eight years later, it was so glad to be back to Hollywood.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Route 66, the most representative century-old road in American history, runs from New York in the eastern part of the United States to Los Angeles in the west, running through the whole of the United States.

Fortunately, after more than an hour, the subway security guard found it for me, and then I took the wrong subway and got off at the wrong station. I tossed it over and over for two or three hours. At last, there were only me, some homeless people and marijuana smokers on the last train. I always keep my distance from them and always smile.</p><p class="ql-block">Fortunately and finally, LAPD drove me back to my hotel safely.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">In just two weeks, there are so many stories happened in America that I can't remember them. But the NBA is bound to come and watch it. Especially Kobe Bryant's black mamba spirit will always inspire all sports-loving people not only in the United States,but also all over the world and me.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">I love you.Kobe Bryant</p> <p class="ql-block">I really don't know if I don't come to America.The first weekend in September every year is Labor Day in the United States.

So that I would like to take a picture with them.❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">The United States really wins in sports! Every day at 2:30 p.m. after school, gymnasiums, track and field stadiums, swimming pools, forests, lakes, lawns, beaches, parks, and more are all open to students for free. Without the burden of homework, students of all ages and genders rush to their favorite venues to enjoy themselves to their heart's content. Today, I had the pleasure of encountering these young, handsome, and tall university students playing beach volleyball at Hammer's Beach in Los Angeles. Upon chatting with them, I learned that they had just returned from participating in the Paris Olympics and had made a pact to come play beach volleyball after school today. Since their skills are good enough to compete in the Olympics, they must be quite proficient! I asked if they were professional athletes, and they told me that aside from NBA players, most of the participants in the Paris Olympics were amateurs, including university and high school students, doctors, teachers, lawyers, workers, drivers, farmers, and even small business owners. They all embraced the Olympic spirit of participation and took part in the Olympics with that mindset, often accidentally bringing home gold medals. Look at their youthful vitality, muscular bodies, and radiant smiles. Compare that to the stressed-out primary and secondary school students in our villages, weighed down by exams. The United States wins! </p> <p class="ql-block">The long-cherished dream of watching NBA games at the stadium for more than 30 years finally came true at the home of the Los Angeles Lakers this afternoon. So that I would like to share it with you guys.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">The most important vehicle in the United States is School Bus! As long as it STOPs, any car around it, behind it, or even oncoming must stop. The president's car is no exception. Because Americans think that there may be future presidents, scientists, doctors, lawyers and so on in the school bus.😜😜😜</p> <p class="ql-block">In the United States, the status of women, children and disabled people is very high, and whatever they do is a priority.If you ask me who always bullies Chinese people in the United States, I have to tell you that it's not the turn of Americans.😁</p> <p class="ql-block">It was so so hot in Los Angeles, I didn'thave shorts and sandals with me. So I had to cut off my trousers and make them shorts.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">So nice to see wild kangaroos in the countryside of Gold Coast, Australia. They are a happy family on the grassland. There are even more sheep than the people in Australia.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Goodbye to Hollywood, </p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to Avenue of Stars, </p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to Hermosa Beach, </p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to friendly Los Angeles citizens,</p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to city of angels Los Angeles Guest House, </p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to brothers and sisters of fraternity,</p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to kind Lisa and her family, </p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to all the dreamers I met,</p><p class="ql-block">Goodbye to sunny California. </p><p class="ql-block">After visiting the United States of America for eight years, it's a different place. It's a long mountain and a vast expanse of water, and I'm filled with emotion. But it will take time to get to know the United States from the bottom of my heart. I don't know when I will be back to USA again and again. I think it will be in winter ...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️</p> <p class="ql-block">From hamburgers to pickles, </p><p class="ql-block">from Marilyn Monroe to Daejang Geum,</p><p class="ql-block">from the White House to Cheongwadae.from towering trees to arhat pine, </p><p class="ql-block">from Rocky Mountain to Mount Kumgang, </p><p class="ql-block">from big farms to small homes, </p><p class="ql-block">from Kobe Bryant to the Korean men's </p><p class="ql-block">soccer team that was unbeaten in China in 30 or 40 years ... </p><p class="ql-block">Here I am! I passed by Korea! But without a visa, I had to go for a trip in Thailand.!😁😁😁</p> <p class="ql-block">After more than a decade, returning to Thailand once again, I find myself pondering about the whereabouts of those who were once like siblings to me. Some have already bid farewell and moved on, while others continue to struggle and toil. Some have vanished without a trace, while others have become strangers, even the most familiar of strangers. Indeed, as the saying goes, "All gatherings must come to an end." It's important to cherish the memories, offer blessings to each other, and let go of the need to know who is who. As long as we are all doing well, that's all that matters. Life goes on, and each of us finds our own path.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Reflecting on the impermanence of things, I realize that the only constant in Thailand, throughout the year, is its sweltering heat. Yet, upon visiting the Grand Palace, I was struck by how much cleaner and more verdant it has become, with lush green grass and towering trees framing its beauty.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">For this trip, I had initially planned for Australia and packed accordingly, with winter clothes, jeans, and sturdy leather shoes. Coming from California, where the heat is dry and relentless, Thailand's heat, though intense, is tempered by the occasional breeze and rain, acting like a natural moisturizer for the skin. It truly is a heaven for escaping the chill of winter.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">The freedom of movement within this country, without the need for visas for certain nationalities, adds to its allure. It's a rare privilege in today's world. The thought of returning someday fills me with a sense of contentment and anticipation. In the end, life is about cherishing the moments, embracing change, and finding joy in the simple things. This trip to Thailand has reminded me of that once again.</p> <p class="ql-block">More than ten years later, it's very nice to visit Bangkok,Thailand again. It is very hot here the whole year, but there is wind and rain, which moisten my skin very much. I enjoy staying in Thailand, especially in winter and the price is much cheaper than Australia and the United States.😜</p> <p class="ql-block">Patriotism education in Thailand starts from museums. From kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools to universities, students are required to dress neatly (in different styles of uniforms), and every month, schools organize students to visit different museums for free to listen to teachers or staff members talk about Thai history, culture, the king, and local customs. Today, I saw several hundred students of different ages and wearing different uniforms queuing up neatly to enter different exhibition halls to view exhibits or listen to explanations at the largest National Museum in Bangkok. Some sat on the floor, some stood, some queued, some stood on tiptoes, and so on. They were all very polite and spoke softly. There was no one shouting loudly, either indoors or outdoors. Unfortunately, I can't understand Thai, and their English is limited to basic daily phrases like "Hello, How are you? Where are you from? Welcome to Thailand. Have a nice day." Just when I was feeling a bit disappointed and wanted to leave the museum, I was fortunate enough to encounter this group of Thai royal secondary school students in formal uniforms and their teachers. Their English level was significantly higher, and they eagerly chatted with me in English for over half an hour. This allowed me to learn more about Thailand and explore many things I had not learned before. Thank you, English, thank you to these middle school students and their teachers, thank you, Thailand! This trip was definitely worth it! Free education, free lunches, free uniforms, free healthcare, free housing for low-income families, and employment opportunities regardless of whether one pursues further education or not. What more could one possibly worry about? No wonder the students' faces are filled with confident and radiant smiles! 😜😜😜😜! </p>
