My Travelogue 足踏天下

This site briefly documents my journey around the globe... It has been exciting... each time, an eye-opener when we bother to know the place, the people, the culture better... each time, it shortens the distance between myself and the entities I come in contact with...

2013 December: Roar Roar South Africa

It's one of those trips that offers a very different experience.
No museums, I think. No World Heritage Sites, confirmed. No history, probably.
But guarantee, lots of contact with the nature!
To see the big five? or the Big five see us? Hm...

Long long time ago, before my first encounter with the airplane... the thought to travel had never crossed my mind... indeed, I wonder... Why travel?

What's so interesting out there that I can't find in Singapore?
Isn't it that all countries are anchored on the earth? Why must we cross boundaries to see the land beyond Singapore?
Why the lands on earth are divided into terriorities? Why must it be 'owned' by different countries?
Aren't all of us belong to the same human race? Then why must we have 'countries' on earth for us to identify with?

Hahaha... those were the days that I wonder... Since 2006 (after Bhutan's adventure), I've started to document each and every single one of my trip. I don't have an elephant memory to remember so many things but thanks to technology, thanks to the internet and digital camera 😉
