Different ways of traveling, you know?

What would be your first impression of travel? Is it a famous mountain? Is it the customs and culture of the local ethnic groups? Or is it full of people?

Everyone travels for different purposes. Some people feel that the recent work and life are too depressed and want to relax their mood; some people have just left a painful relationship and want to have a farewell journey; some people want to spend a beautiful and unforgettable time with love; some people want to explore the unknown world...

In the book "The World I See Is Different from You", the author Xiao Pingping originally traveled with the purpose of embarking on an unfinished journey because the famous Taiwanese female writer Sanmao mysteriously passed away.

Did you know that every place mourns differently? Did you know that penguins like to listen to music? Do you know what piranhas taste like?

Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean is home to more than 700 human races, including cannibals. Their national customs are beyond our imagination. When a loved one dies, they chop off one of their fingers to mourn the deceased. One finger represents the death of a loved one until the last verse remains.

In the rainforest of the Amazon, there is such a people, the Jiagua people, who pay tribute to their loved ones by singing joyful songs and using drums and dances to send off their last journey.

Maybe you've heard a story that when your loved one dies, he turns into a star and watches you in the sky. When you think about them, look up at the sky, he's blinking at you...

Although the way of mourning is different in each place, the heart that misses it is the same.

When you go to some ethnic minority tribe, do you take off the cloak of civilized society and integrate into them? Maybe a lot of people are reluctant to do it. After all, they have many customs that are beyond our imagination and difficult for us to accept.

But the author is not ordinary, he learns how they dress, and wants to slowly integrate into their world, rather than standing on the side and pointing fingers at them.

Maybe people get along with each other like this. Even if neither side knows each other, and what the other person says is difficult to understand, there is always an inexplicable intuition whether you really like me.

In Antarctica, there lives a cute bunch of chubby little fat guys – they're penguins.

The biggest difference between them and the human world is that when their baby is still an egg, it is taken care of by their father, and when they can open their eyes to see the world, the first "milk" they eat is also given by their father. It's an incredible thing, but it's real.

In a crowd, can you find someone you know by sound? I think this may be very difficult. But in the world of cute little fat people, they can find out exactly where their little baby and their wives or husbands are through sound waves.

While the author sat on the ice singing because he was bored, the little fat men who were foraging for food slowly stopped their steps, walked to his side, and listened quietly. This spans different races, because music also pulls into the distance between each other.

While looking for the Banana Leaf Tribe, I met a group of local residents who were fishing or resting there. When the boat was moored by the river, it was just in time for them to eat.

They were grilling and boiling fish. You may find it strange, what is there to be curious about? But would you be surprised if you were told that what they were doing was piranhas? That's right, this is Amazon's fiercest piranha, and it tastes great when cooked. In addition to piranhas, ants are also the food of this group of Amazon friends.

Seeing this, do you feel that human food is all over the world? Whether they fly in the sky, swim in the water, or walk on land, they can't escape the mouth of mankind?

In the tropical rainforest of the Amazon, in addition to the dense forest, there are many animals living there. For example, cute little sloths, sticky spider monkeys, beautiful macaws, ferocious forest hoppers, as well as famous American crocodiles and mysterious pink dolphins...

Remember the crop circle in the unsolved mysteries of the world? In the wilderness of Wiltshire in the southwest of England, in addition to the ancient British symbol of White Horse Mountain, there is also the famous prehistoric Stonehenge, and the wheat field circle also depicts various strange patterns on this large canvas every summer when the crops are ripe.

Maybe you've heard the story of the "pen fairy" or the "gypsy girl's crystal ball", and there is a similar thing in the UK, which is called the "dowsing rod", which is the divination wand. When you empty yourself and blend in with it, it will answer any of your questions.

Remember the Bermuda Delta in The Mystery of the World? Many ships or planes have mysteriously disappeared there and have not been found to this day. Maybe there is another parallel space there, and it is unknown where the mysterious disappearances have gone.

But there, the author finds another puzzle. He had always thought it was just a 15-minute dive there, but the videotape had 50 minutes, or 35 minutes, which was a mysterious existence.

In the great desert of the Sahara stands the greatest building ever built by mankind, the pyramids. It contains almost the most complex knowledge of astronomy, geometry, physics, etc., and contains super difficult construction techniques, which are somewhat difficult to build even with today's technology.

And when it comes to the pyramids, we have to mention the Mayan culture. About 1200 years ago, the Mayan culture suddenly disappeared at its peak, leaving behind many mysteries for us to explore.

In south America, there is a people called the Incas. There is a beautiful legend that they have circulated there. Their ancestors landed on a nearby island with a flying object, where a pair of siblings married and bred the Incas.

Seeing this, do you think this story is quite familiar. Yes, in ancient times, there is a similar story, they are Fuxi and Nuwa two brothers and sisters. Legend has it that one day, a heavy rainstorm suddenly fell in the sky, and the brothers and sisters hid in a large gourd. After the flood, only two brothers and sisters were left, so they married and bred human beings, and they were the ancestors of human beings.

Although we are far apart, the story of the ancestors of mankind is strikingly similar.

In the south of Africa there is the Karahar Desert, which is the homeland of the Bushmans. Their ancestors left mysterious murals on the rock walls. These rock paintings reflect the real scenes of people hunting and living at that time. Although the figures in their paintings do not have hands and feet, they also like to combine humans with the bodies of beasts and insects, such as some with cow-like hooves and the heads of praying mantises.

Bushman has a gentle temperament and also loves small animals. Although for thousands of years they have had to hunt many animals to survive, hunters pray and apologize for these animals that have been killed.

In Africa, there are peoples and animals that are different. For example, African elephants, African crocodiles, hippos, etc.

In the north-eastern part of South Africa and northern Thailand, there are two distant and unrelated peoples, the Long-necked. They have a long neck for their beauty, so they put some collars around their necks. The biggest difference between the long-necked people in South Africa and Thailand is that the brass rings on the necks of women are a symbol of whether they love them or not. The stronger the degree of love, the greater the number of brass rings, and vice versa.

Africa's weaving culture is also known worldwide. For example, handicrafts such as beads and carpets.

When you get to Burma, you can't help but watch their puppet shows. Marionettes are a masterpiece of Burmese folk artists. Their puppet needs to be woodcut, but their every hand, every foot, and even every joint can move flexibly, and most importantly, his eyes, head, and feet can rotate about 360 degrees. The most interesting thing is that the most traditional dance in the court is that the person dances like a marionette.

In weddings in Nepal, there is a very special little program. There were many things in a basin, and the new people had to work together to find the stone for the sacrifice. Of course, the bridegroom could not be found, but the bride had to be very careful in the water, looking for the stone, even if the sleeves of the beautiful dress were wet.

In the final step of the wedding, it is necessary to report to the gods. Although the couple had never known each other before, let alone interacted. But in Nepal, the divorce rate is very low, and many local couples have a good relationship, is this the Himalayas have a very peculiar magnetic field, can let everyone live in love forever?

Of course, this journey of exploring the unknown is not only interesting, but also has many unknown dangers.

While attending a unique Hindu festival in Tamir Province, the southeastern corner of India, a second-degree burn was caused by an accident at that fire ceremony. At the Nine Emperors Fasting Festival in Phuket, Thailand, he was blown up by firecrackers and his hair became chicken nest-shaped. The double heaven of ice and fire experienced at Kuroishi-ji Temple in Japan...

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. During the trip, I gained a lot of emotions, and also made friends of many different races and different species, and mingled with strangers who never knew each other. When they encounter bandits in Africa, when they are scavenging for their belongings, they see the images in the camera and give up robbing and even taking pictures and dancing together.

Travel doesn't have to go very far, and it takes a lot of money to prove its existence. The most important thing is to know how to cherish the bits and pieces encountered, whether it is funny, touching, or frightening, it is the value of its existence.

No matter where you go, the most important thing is to see what kind of mood you have to get along with the locals, maybe the language is not the same, but music and dance are a way of communication, eating and drinking is also another way of communicating with each other, they can transcend all the languages we do not understand, pull into the distance between different customs and cultures.
