Writing at the beginning

こんにちは(Hello!) This is Kelly, a Chinese girl who lives in Melbourne now, a  student who is keen on traveling, moreover, a blogger who want to inspire the readers to travel and to live an active life.

Why do we travel? 

To me,  travel carries so much more meaning than simply seeing different parts of the world and tasting the different food of delicacy.

I find Pico Iyer describes the reason perfectly 'We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.'

Travel does help me to discover and redefine myself. We, as ordinary people, waste so much time on speculating what others think and do. We follow others while being unaware of what we truly like, dislike, enjoy doing or are good at. Perhaps when I travel, I see myself from different angles and different perspectives, that helps me to figure out the mysteries of my self.

Travel enriches my life as a whole. I believe that TRAVEL is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

What will this blog talk about?

YES! As you may guess at the very beginning when seeing the 'hello' in Japanese, this blog is talking about Japan!

Japan has a fascinating and pluralistic culture. This blog will through a Chinese girl's angle, talking about the difference between Chinese and Japanese culture.

Many western people may think that all the Asian countries are almost the same, China and Japan located close to each other and may have a similar culture or lifestyle. Actually, no! There are so many differences not only in language and visible performance but also in eating habit, lifestyle, and mindset. I have never been to Japan before, but get familiar with it by Japanese cuisine and TV programmes. In this blog, I will tell you my feeling about Japanese culture and discuss some of the things that surprised me during my researching.
