I have a friend who likes to travel abroad by cruise ship because his children are abroad and he has no relatives in his place of residence.
Last year, he wanted to go to a foreign country for the New Year, but due to the epidemic, he postponed the trip until the second day of the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect to fall in love with Xishuangbanna since then.
Last year, he invited two female friends to rent a homestay in Xishuangbanna, and usually cooked together, but the conditions were very simple. They also have some differences due to different eating habits and consumption concepts. Therefore, this year's Spring Festival this friend considered again and again, and chose a sojourn base that packed food and accommodation to spend the New Year alone in Xishuangbanna.
There are less than 20 people left in the base for the New Year, mostly women, five of whom are husband and wife, but there are not many single men, and my friend is one of them.
I was very happy to see them recording the sojourn life and enjoyed it this way.
Sojourn is a great way of life, but I don't want to spend the New Year out unless I'm with my family.
First of all, the children who usually work and live in the field rarely go home once, I cherish this opportunity for reunion, and the New Year is to be with the people I love, which is a very happy thing. Because I am getting older, the opportunity to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve meals for my children is also one year less after one year. As soon as people enter middle age, the time spent with people who love each other also enters the countdown.
Although the hometown is not as warm as Xishuangbanna in winter, the warmth of family affection is enough to resist the cold of winter.
Secondly, the life of eating and living is indeed a good way to recuperate, and it is fine for a short time, but it is not the time to live for a few months. Because now I am in good health, do some housework, usually practice at home, use the computer to write some words, and make some favorite food is also a kind of enjoyment and exercise. Moreover, as long as there is a beautiful scenery in your heart, anywhere can become a tourist mecca in your eyes.
Third, perhaps he has not kept up with the pace of the times, or the old concept, always feel that the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennel. Coupled with the fact that the personal economic conditions do not meet the requirements of being able to choose a family to eat and live at will, instead of being aggrieved and seeking perfection, it is better to arrange their ordinary but not boring life at home.
Fourth, the older you get, the less you want to do what you don't like and contact people you don't like. When people reach a certain age, their living habits and personalities are more difficult to change, and they prefer to be quiet. Remembering the embarrassing experience of taking a cruise ship in 2019, I understand more clearly that I can't change the reason why others can't change myself, and I don't take a cruise anymore. Although I envy those who have a very young mentality, I feel that I can't get up, but this does not affect my love of life, but it just changes a way.
Of course, everyone has their own favorite lifestyle, there is no best, only the most suitable, no one has the right to interfere and judge others.
As long as you are truly happy, as long as it is not a short escape. Life is your own, and you have to return to your own home in the end.
I've always loved to travel and a short stay was what I was looking forward to. Because I am no longer suitable for running around with travel agencies.
Therefore, I have always wanted to invite a few close friends when I can still move, choose a favorite place, rent a house of my choice, taste all kinds of local cuisine, travel through the landscapes and rivers there, enjoy different beautiful scenery with the mood when I am at home, and reach another highest realm in life.
But the year must be coming back.
