Summary and response of "How Millennials Are Changing Travel"
In 2012, when the author was 24, he had traveled to many counties all around the world. He was surprised by the fact that so many travelers were close in age to him. The Boston Consulting Group indicates, the millennial generation is the group that is more interested in traveling abroad than older generations. A survey of more than 34,000 people from 137 countries, concluded that this is especially true of young students who, for the purpose of studying, usually spend a large amount of time traveling abroad. Many American millennials would rather travel in their golden age than work for retirement plans. They get more experience, skills, and opportunities by traveling. Furthermore, many millennials travel to learn languages to give themselves a more competitive edge over their peers.I myself highly agree with what Machado(UN) stated about many travelers choosing to travel in their golden age, not only for education and work, but because they also need more experience to build their overall perspective. I believe that when you have met different kinds of people, different cultures, and have experienced unusual situations, etc, you will learn something you didn't know before. For instant, I didn't understand why Taiwanese people didn’t recognize themselves as being Chinese. Then after I had a chance to chat with a Taiwanese person, I realized that Taiwanese people have been impacted by their textbooks, or even by the whole educational system that teaches them to consider themselves as not being Chinese.

Last year, in the subway station before the gateway, I saw a boy sitting on a bench guzzling down many packs of chocolate.
Later, after watching him for a short period of time, I felt compelled to approach him and suggest to him: "Kid, having too much sugar isn't good for your health."
He glanced at me with disdain. Then, instead of a reply, he asked me abruptly: "Do you know why my grandfather can live to be over a hundred years old?"
I curiously replied: "It is attributed to chocolate?"
"No, because he never mind other people's business." He said coldly.

Thanks for helping me out! If you want to learn Mandarin or Chinese culture, I'm willing to give you assistance. And as I'm a Taiwanese, there is no problem I can use both simple and traditional characters! Feel free to ask me any question!0 votedJanuary 15, 20162Confusion
Recently, I have been having butterflies in my stomach. One month ago, one of my friends called me from Japan, and told me that she wanted to go into business with me. She has sold swimsuits for years in the Japanese market. Now she was planning to expand into the European and American market. I was selected as a potential partner because of my English skills; because she can only speak very little English, obviously a far cry from enough. I feel like I am in a dilemma. On the one hand, It's better to do something than nothing, but on the other hand, it may cost me money. Also, I am totally a rookie in this field because I know very little about sales. Things like profit distribution, which is the biggest headache to me, I know very little about. Although I don't have to do sales alone, I think my friend and I have should talk about the profit distribution before going into business together. In addition, I am a little worried that the money could hurt our friendship if it's not dealt with carefully. Moreover, the shop will be registered online by the name of my friend's company, so I cannot rule out the possibility that she could dump me after the shop is launched. Another friend of mine suggested I charge fees for launching this shop, which I think is very good idea. It's just one of the millions of things going through my mind right now. Oh, I wish I were "Monk Yixiu", a character in a Japanese cartoon, who is very good at thinking about difficult things.

Today, I visited my grandparents, who are my favorite people. They always treat me the best. My grandma cooks tasty food for me. These are my favorite foods: potato stew, pig‘s ear salad, three vegetable salad (wire???), and dumplings. I am starting to drool again. I hope God does better for them. I wish I could be with them longer.

My favorite family member is my grandmother. She is a little fat woman with a round face. She is very friendly, she is dedicated to her family, and she is willing to help others in her community. Moreover, she is a tough women who has endured difficult days. Several years before I was born, my grandfather lost his sight. So my grandmother took on the responsibility of looking after him, his mother, and three children as well. A few years ago, after my grandfather died, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The chemotherapy must have been painful; however, she finally overcame the disease. In addition, she was a very good cook, and I really miss her and the dishes she cooked.
