There are things you would have scorned at when others had tried them. But the sense of exhilaration those bring is wonderful. Be open, be free and enjoy life as it goes!
There's nothing better than snuggling below in the grass with a loved one, covered in warm blankets and stargazing the entire night in the bask of the lovely rays of the moon.
Sure there are few tourist destinations offering this, and it might seem common. But NOTHING beats the rush you get when you actually get up close with that mean, vicious beast that doesn't seem so once you touch it.
What seems to be easy is quite the opposite. To master the sign language is an art in itself. What's more, you can throw yourself into full fledged social service when you're good at it!
Have a little brood of kids and no fun time for yourself, mommy or daddy? Dress them each in a different color of the traffic lights for some whacky, out-of-the-blue pastimes at home.
Trek. Swim. Hike. Raft. Run. Climb. Dive. Challenge your spirit.
Dolphins are those gentle creatures that always have a soft spot for humans. Don't just watch them ambling along your boat, get into the water and share the fun!
Fast, meek, agile and so hard to get into contact, dem little cute ones. Why not make it an aim to try catching them once in life? Stroke the little guy delicately, whisper soft to it. Let it go later :)
Its nerve-wrecking and so emotional only to watch the footage of human birth on TV. Out in the open woods where nature has her own course set, the episode of a young one born is more raw, and truly life as it is. Even foals or calves born in barns make a wonderful experience to watch.
They say hitch-hiking is dangerous. True indeed. But its a great way to learn new things, meet new people, and gear up your experience while traveling. Be careful though!
The bullet train is called the Shinkansen in Japanese. The precision that goes into making and running one is astoundingly brilliant, and if anything, saving money for one trip on its business class thing would be an expenditure that's worth the ride.
Another teenager in university, having a penchant for Japanese, literature and all the small things in life that almost always go unnoticed.
