SC Jason Barry——关于旅行记忆

When: 21th Nov.（时间：11月21日）Where: 1211 room of the buil...

Today, here came some new classmates.In order to get us familiar with each other, we each made self introduction, including our name, major and native place.

今天来了一些新同学，为了让大家尽快熟悉起来，老师让我们每个人做了自我介绍，包括姓名、专业和籍贯。

After that, Jason brought us into his amazing traveling experiences. Although Jason is only 31 years old, he has visited 46 different countries, covering 6 continents except antarctic continent. Due to the limited time in the class and his not being crazy about taking photos while traveling, Jason only showed us part of his traveling experience, which contained New Zealand, Japan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan and so on.

然后，我们就进入今天的话题。老师年仅三十一岁，但已经去过四十六个国家。除了南极大陆外，其他大陆都去过了。由于课堂时间有限和老师旅行中不怎么拍照的习惯，老师只展示了部分他去过的国家，包括新西兰、日本、埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、南苏丹，等等。



Then, he came up with a unique lifestyle about traveling: vagabonding——cheap accommodation and basic but perfectly good food.

接着，老师提出了一个独特的关于旅行的生活方式：流浪——有着廉价的食宿、基本的但是很好的食物的旅行。

Next, he emphasized that the question of how and when to start vagabonding is not really a question at all and it starts now。

接下来，他重点说了什么时候和以什么样的方式开始旅行其实一点也说不上是一个问题，旅行现在就可以开始。And Jason also gave us his own travel tips:

1.Go alone

2.Stay on the ground

3.Stay disconnected from electronics

Jason也给了我们一些关于旅行的个人建议：

1.一个人去旅行

2.要务实，从实际出发，或者说接地气

3.不要受电子产品的干扰

He not only told us what should be done, but also told us how to make it happen:

他不仅告诉我们哪些应该要做，并且告诉我们怎么让这些事情发生：

Finally，we came in the Q&A section:

最后，我们进入了问答环节：Q: Is it appropriate for women to travel alone?

问：对于女性来说，一个人去旅行合适么？

A: It is more difficult for girls to travel alone, and this is a common misunderstanding about traveling. Actually, single women can be treated as special guests in some countries. They can be cared more.

答：对于女孩们来说，一个人旅行会遇到更多困难，但是这是一个常见的误解。事实上，在一些国家，独自旅行的女性是会被当作特殊的客人来对待的。她们会受到更多照顾。

Q: Will you continue traveling when you get married? And how to balance you family and you traveling?

问：当你结婚后你会选择继续旅行么？怎么去平衡你的家庭和你的旅行呢？

A:I’m not sure I want to get married. It’s open for me. Travel is a metaphor and life is a metaphor. I like to experience the world. I don’t feel particular at home in the United States and the world is my home.

答：我不确定自己是否想要结婚。对于我来说这是很开放的。旅行是一种隐喻，生活也是一种隐喻。我喜欢去感受这个世界。我不觉得在美国就会特别有家的感觉，世界就是我的家。

Q: Do you have some good suggestions about preparing luggage?

问：你在准备行李方面有什么好的建议？

A: You need good drugs. Because it’s hard to find drugs sometimes. But I don’t carry very much because something is also available outside

答：你需要准备好的药物。因为有时候在外面买药会很困难。但是我不会带很多东西，因为有些东西在外面也是可以买到的。Oh there are so many good and interesting questions that I can’t write down them one by one. The active atmosphere is always available. And if you are attracted by this class, please come on time every week or keep an eye on our public number. We will record this class timely.

哇哦，好的问题和精彩的回答实在太多了以至于我不能在这里一一列举了。课堂气氛一直是很活跃的。如果你被这堂课吸引了，请大家（报名并面试通过的同学）每周按时来上课或者关注我们的公众号（面向所有同学哦）。我们会及时记录课堂内容。
