Hi everyone, it's Gossip English time. 尬聊英语时间又到啦! This is Wing. This is Yao. Let's learn English through gossip.
Hey Yao, guess what? Our retirement age is getting pushed back. Can you believe that?
Yeah, of course I know, because I'm the victim, right? Those who are born after 1990s, right?
Yes.
Have to retire after 60 or 65, I forgot.
65.
Oh my, yeah, I still have a long way to go.
So, have you thought about your retirement life? What's your ideal one?
Of course, Slack off,躺平. Well, just kidding. My ideal dream retirement life, I guess I want to travel around the world, because I'm a traveler. How about you?
Ideally, I'd love a retirement where I'm always on the move, just like you, like a sojourn lifestyle. 就是旅居的生活方式。这是我退休最理想的状态。Just living on the road, exploring new places. Honestly, if I had enough cash right now, I would hit the road right now.
Oh, wow!
就赶紧上路。如果有足够钱的话,我现在马上出发。
对,你有足够钱的话, 要不你带上我,我们马上出发。
要不你有足够钱,我带上你,马上出发。
I'm working on it. 我正努力呢。That sounds pretty awesome. So, why do you have this kind of thought? Like a road trip?
Picture this, a 60-year-old woman with a very funny dog on the road, and they just drive their car and live on the road. They just explore all the places and enjoy each other. Wouldn't it be very epic?
Of course.
And especially with my dog, who is a pro when it comes to hiking, and she can leap over rocks like a champ. So she can be my right-key guy in front of me, and then I just follow her step. So it would be easier for a 60-year-old me to explore places.
Yeah, but now you better work out first, okay? I'm afraid that when you are 60, you cannot catch up with your dog, okay?
She will be old too, so we are more like two old ladies.
Ah, yeah, that's true. So, what makes you want to do a sojourn lifestyle?
Well, because of one trip when I was in the States.
Oh, what's that?

【转录13/13】【35:28-38:30】
That's cool. Yeah. So, any other questions?
Yes, in part 1, we have a few questions. Number 1, how can we expect traveling to change in the future? What do you think?
Well, travel will likely become more sustainable with the rise of electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles and high-speed rail networks reducing reliance on air travel. I think technological advancements like AI will offer personalized travel experiences and improved safety. Virtual reality might allow people to explore destinations virtually reducing unnecessary trips.
就是俗称的云旅游。
对。就是譬如说戴着一个VR眼镜,然后就可以去各国旅游了。
对啊,现在都已经有了其实。
对,但还是不能代替我们实地旅游的嘛。
Of course.
Okay, so any other questions?
Yes, some people believe that traveling without a good reason is irresponsible because of carbon footprint. Do you agree? Why or why not?
What do you think?
Well, I just partially agree. Unnecessary travel contributes to climate change, and we should be mindful of our environmental impact. However, travel is also valuable for cultural exchange and personal growth. A balanced approach like opting for sustainable travel and carbon offsetting can mitigate negative effects while preserving the benefits of travel.
Yeah, I totally agree.
Cool.
Oh, I want to hit the road right now after we talked so much about the RV.
Bring me with you. 带上我,求带上。
I need money. Be my sponsor, I can take you with me.
谈钱就伤感情了啊。那行吧,那咱们还是继续做牛做马，努力一点, 然后争取退休的时候一起去环游世界好了。
好的呢。So, that's all for today. We need to make some money right now.
So, 记得一键三连哦!就是分享我们的播客, 点赞,还有收藏, sponsor us, 支持我们,support us.

【转录12/13】【33:06-35:26】【IELTS part】
So Wing, we've talked about the road trip, the RV. Do you have any speaking tips for our speaking test?
Yes. Actually, there's a part two topic in IELTS. It's about car journey. So it says, talk about a memorable car journey. You should say when it took place, if you were alone or with other people, what was memorable about it, and say if you enjoyed the journey.
So do you have anything to share?
Yes. I'm going to talk about the Indian pass trip. So one of my most memorable car journeys was a road trip to the beach called Indian pass. My friends and I decided to hit the road without any hassle, just packing up the car and setting off early.(Hit the road. 就是上路啦,出发。还有一个叫 without any hassle. Hassle 的话就是表示麻烦还有困难。那 without any hassle 的话就是毫不费力啦, 一点困难都没有)
Along the way, we stumbled upon some gorgeous landscapes, rolling hills, dense forests, and clear lakes. We couldn't resist stopping to take pictures.(Stumble upon 就是偶然发现, 没有预料到的。还有 gorgeous, gorgeous 表示 very beautiful, very good, 就美极了,棒极了)
When we reached Indian pass, we found a perfect secluded camping spot right next to the beach.(Secluded 就表示偏僻的,很隐蔽的)
That evening, we built a campfire, and as the night went on, everyone loosened up, sharing stories and laughing under the stars.(Loosen up. Loose 就是表示松嘛, 那 loosen up 就是表示放松下来了)
The next morning was magical. We saw dolphins close to the shore and even spotted bald eagles soaring above us.(Soaring 就是soar嘛, soar就是翱翔的意思)
This journey was incredible, filled with unexpected discoveries and unforgettable moments. It was a perfect reminder of the joy of hitting the road and exploring new places.

【转录11/13】【31:18-33:02】
Yeah. And okay, number five. Leave time for adventure. Sometimes because we go to a new place, it's very easy for us to just plan a packed schedule. But we should just leave some space for spontaneous adventures and local exploration. So just don't overschedule and have fun.
Yeah. 我非常同意，就是有时候我们说什么特种兵旅行是吧，然后就是为了打卡某个点会是怎么样，但事实上的话，其实Wing建议我们的话，一定要留出一些冒险的时间，就是说不定我们会临时增加一些点，或是我们会有遇到什么样的惊喜是吧，所以我们一定要留充足的时间，就不要只是在赶路，还是得放慢脚步，然后欣赏一下沿路风景.
Yeah, exactly. And the last but not least, learn independence. Just learn to handle repairs and emergencies on your own. It will boost your confidence and self-reliance. It's really important. For example, you need to know a thing or two to fix your RV. Otherwise, good luck.
那最后一点，但也不是说最不重要的一点，就是一定要学会独立，你都自己去旅行了，然后你都要开房车了，然后你还不独立的话，那咋办是吧，对啊，你在in the middle of nowhere，在一个什么无人之地的话，那如果你的房车出现什么样的情况的话，你都要学会怎么样去维修它，还有怎么去应对这种紧急的情况，是的，我觉得如果你能够学会这一点的话，那你的自信心还有自立能力的话，都可以大大提高的了.
Yeah, exactly. So follow these tips and just have a blast on your RV adventure while staying safe and prepared.

Yao0411

2024.9.04

【转录10/13】【28:34-31:16】
So what's next?
And No.3, connect with others. Traveling can get lonely. But try to meet locals and other RV travelers, you will make friends and get awesome tips from them, especially for those who have been there for several times or for a longer time, they can give you some very useful tips.
那还有一点的话，除了我们要跟我们的家人朋友保持联系，我们出去旅游的时候，其实最好玩的一点，其中一点吧，也是说我们去结交新的朋友，是不是，如果你单独旅行的话，肯定会觉得很孤单的，但是如果你可以跟当地人，还有其他一起开RV的人，一起去联系的话，跟他们交流一些经验的话，那也是非常好，说不定他们会给你很棒的一些建议呢. So actually it reminds me of my experience. I used to travel alone in UK. Once I remember, I went to the Peak District. 就是非常有名的一个叫峰区,爬山的。I stayed in the hostel. I met a very gentle grandpa. He is a hiking expert. And he gave me a lot of advice that I could use when I went hiking. So I think it's a very good experience. It's a very good thing to make friends with the local people.
Yeah, that's true. They might help you a lot. They might surprise you as well. 所以这时候就要为爱做e，就真的是爱，是心心的爱就heart，为爱做e。
And I also have another very interesting experience. Back in UK, I also travelled alone at that time. I stayed in the hostel too. And I met a Chinese girl. Also we are the alumni. 我们是高中校友，哇，就是在诺大的英国，然后我们选择了同一家的旅馆，我们还是高中校友，我觉得这个缘分真的是绝了
Yeah, the chances are so slim. But you two made it.
Yeah. So what's the next suggestion?
Well, number four out of six. Pack essentials like a phone and a first aid kit. I would suggest also have a battery bank as well. Avoid sketchy areas and stay alert.
下一个的话，就是我们一定要随身携带一些必需品，譬如说手机还有急救箱，那刚才Wing还提到一个非常好的一个东西，就是我们的充电宝，保持我们的手机跟其他电器的话都有充足的电，那还要避免一些危险的地区，时刻要保持警惕哦
Yeah. Since a few trips in the States, now I still have the habit to bring first aid kit with me when I'm hiking, just in case. So it can be very handy when you need it.
That's a very good habit.

Yao0411

2024.9.04

【转录9/13】【25:28-28:32】
So I've never been on a road trip. So Wing, do you have any tips for our listeners when we travel alone?
Sure. There are six tips, actually, for a safe and fun trip.
What are they? So first, you need to make a plan.
Of course. For the p 人, 就没有计划。
But you need a plan because you need to map out your route, track the weather, road conditions, and local culture. And of course, share your plans with your friends or family and stay in touch with them, making sure they know your whereabouts. It's really important for safety.
Yeah, true. 就是无论是J人还是P人都好，我们都是建议你要计划好你的行程，出发前一定要规划好路线，还有检查好天气，路况，还有当地的文化，还有一点非常重要就是，一定要将你的旅行计划，告诉朋友或者是家人，跟他们保持联系，不要就搞失踪了
And the No.2, of course, stay safe. 我感觉我在说废话。
How can we stay safe? That’s very important.
So if you go for a campsite, make sure you pick a well-lit and reputable campsite or RV park. And always lock your RV and trust your guts when choosing a spot. So that can ensure you that first, you can have your RV car all along your trip. And then you can have safe spots when you are asleep at night.
True. 就是我们可能露营或者是开房车的经验不是很多，但是Wing给到我们一个非常好的建议，就是当你选择那些露营地的时候，一定要选那些光线充足的，还有信誉良好的，不要选那些随随便便的啊，还有就是他们会有一些叫房车公园，我们也可以驻扎在那里，那还有一个的话，一定要记得锁好房车，不要像我那样子经常就忘记拔车钥匙的那种，到时候你没了车的时候看你怎么走，爬都爬不出去，那Wing你刚才有提到说选地方时要相信自己的直觉，那为什么呢，是不是像我们之前有讲过那个鬼故事那样子，说一定要什么带着狗狗去那里看一下风水之类的。
It's not about that. It's more like our subconsciousness can help us notify the dangers. Sometimes our logic side couldn't tell why you feel safe there or why you feel dangerous there. So you just trust your gut. And you mentioned to bring a dog. It's not just for a company, but also a dog will alert for you. They will alert the dangers for you. So that is also very important. But of course, if your dog is too friendly, probably it's useless.
就是带上狗狗的话，它其实不仅可以陪伴你，但是它也可以帮你去预警一些，因为它们耳朵很灵敏，是吧，然后它们嗅觉很灵敏，所以它们有时候可以帮你去察觉一些危险，可以保护你

2024.9.04

【转录8/13】【22:22-25:26】
So most of the time, you are in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah. It's physically hard for us to live like that. Or we can just, you know, move to the relatively distant areas. Definitely not in Canton.
Yeah, I agree. But I mean, actually we have places like that, you know, like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, 内蒙古, right? We have places like that, but not many people dare to do the same thing. For me, because people in these two countries have different attitudes. For us, it's very important to have a house, have a car, you know, which means, 我们有那个安身之地, which gives us a sense of security. And that's why we spend all our penny buying the house, buying the cars. So basically, 我们被锁死了,被房贷车贷给锁死了,所以没有办法辞掉工作.
We are overwhelmed by our loans of cars and apartments.
Yeah. But I heard that for many people in the States, they don't really care about a house or the cars, right?
Actually, cars are necessary in most places of America. Because as I mentioned before, it's really easy to get into the middle of nowhere. So you really need a car to get your groceries, to get your basic necessities of life. So that is quite different. That's why sometimes you will see some very broken cars, like the windows are pretty broken and they just use duct tape to stick them together. Because the cars are necessary. It's not a luxury to them.
Oh, OK. So it's not a scene in the movie. Actually, it's a scene of real life, right?因为我看一些电影的时候，描绘一些美国场景的时候，他们都会开着一些很旧的车，我也不知道为什么，然后刚才你说，他们还会用那个贴，是吗?
那个就是透明大力胶之类的
嗯，然后就贴在那个
对啊，就很夸张的，就是在他的车窗上面，会很疯狂的那种，透明胶，就是很粗的那种透明胶，直接粘，把那个玻璃给粘起来，包括有些是，什么车头灯，有一个坏掉的，也是要粘起来，很神奇的，就是，就是你发现，duct tape can fix everything out there.
还有这用处，所以其实，美国的话，他的那个地很大，对吧，地很广，所以车是一个必需品，但是车的品牌，或者是车的那个档次的话，并不是说最重要的
对啊，因为它是一个必需品
That’s why they have car culture. They have so many drive-thru restaurants. That’s why.
应该我们这个drive-thru的话，应该运用的最好的，是那个麦当劳的得来速吗
嗯嗯，对，就类似那一种
嗯，Drive-Thru
对，就是在美国的话，其实大部分餐厅都有这个功能，基本上人是不离开车的，因为实在是，就离开了车是不行的

【转录7/13】【18:54-22:22】
And then the writer wrote about other people, other kind of people as well, like the post-retirement life, just like my ideal dream retirement life. And then also mentioned a 42-year-old adventurer who quit his office job for a whole new lifestyle. He bought an RV, installed solar panels and a water tank, and learned to live off the grid. He was all about embracing new challenges and sharing his journey on social media to inspire people.
所以这位作家的话，其实他真的是很喜欢RV这种生活，所以他就是采访了很多人，对吧，包括有退休后的老人，就像你一开始的时候分享，你在美国的时候遇到的那些老人家是吧，跟他们去探讨一下人生，那还有一个42岁的冒险家，就是我们现在很多人的一个生活，他之前也是坐在办公室里面，但是突然间他想换一种生活方式，所以他直接就买了一辆房车，安装好了那个太阳能板，就用太阳能发电是吗，还有水箱，就这样子就自给自足了，哇好厉害啊他。
就是之前不是有一个留言很火吗，就是有个老师想辞职，然后就写了世界很大，想出去走走。
对就是他，不过不知道那位老师有没有买到房车而已，然后我要去看一下这位冒险家，因为他在他的社交媒体上面分享了他的经历，然后也鼓励大家去尝试，那我可能当我很丧的时候，我就需要点能量的时候，我就去看一下他的视频，看一下他的那些posts，给自己打打气。
Definitely. But you know, if you don't go for campsite, it's not that easy to live on the RV. I mean, relatively, it is better than live just with a tent. But still, you need to figure out how to dump your waste water, your garbage. You need fresh water. So you need a lot of things to support your car, your RV life.
That's true.
就是，房车其实里面有很多东西是需要有的，譬如说生活污水要怎么处理，那就需要有一个类似sewage排污的这个东西，所以很多露营地，其实都可以提供这些给你，也就是为什么很多人会在露营地里面住上一个月，因为他这些基础功能都提供了，但是如果纯粹是在路上的话呢，就这些你都要想办法去解决。
So that's why I think he installed a solar panel in some way, to just help him to get more electricity in some way.
That's true. 就不是想象中那么简单,不能说走就走了,现在还得好好想清楚才行啦.
But if it is short term travel, I don't think it matters.
Yeah true. Actually I think 42-year-old adventurer is very brave. Because I think in our country, not many people can actually do something like that.
Well, we don't have that many natural parks, right? And we have a lot of people. Usually, it's pretty crowded. I remember if I want to walk my dog on a lawn, it's really hard not to meet another dog. It's almost impossible. But when I was in the States with my dog, you barely see another dog.
Really?
Yeah.

Yao0411

2024.9.04

【转录6/13】【15:34-18:53】
Yeah. 就是我在那边看到那些老人们，因为大部分时间，可能他的子女都已经很忙，在忙生活，忙工作，所以他们就会开着他们轮子上的小家，里面有厨房，浴室，有床，什么都有，然后就开到那边，在一个露营地待上一个月，然后见到很多同龄人，就有点像是重新组建了一个大家庭那样子，他们可以聊天，喝酒，或者是钓钓鱼，看看海，这种退休生活，我感觉是挺好的，休闲又不会太孤独，太孤单。
就有点像我们那种内蒙古那边那种游牧民族
The fancy one
Yeah, the fancy one，更加高级一点的
Before that experience, I didn't know RV travel actually has the social aspect.就是我在没有那次经历之前，其实我都不知道旅居其实是有社交属性的，它不是一个这么独来独往的一个活动
是，就是他可以停到任意一个地方嘛，那譬如说他觉得那里的人比较好玩，比较有趣的，他就可以停在那里了呀
对啊
Yeah. So do you think it's okay if I travel alone with the RV in the States?
Well, personally, I haven't traveled alone in an RV in the States before. So to your question, I have some writers who wrote about it. So I think the writer asked different kinds of people, such as solo travelers, independent women, or young folks, old folks. So maybe we can get some ideas from them.
Yeah, sure.
So the first one is solo travelers. For them, it's all about freedom and adventure. It's an amazing way to discover yourself, pick up new skills, and just enjoy life to the fullest.
哦，当然那个房车的话，就是为什么我当时也想去呢，因为我觉得那个房车的话，它带给我们跟其他旅游不同的感觉，比如说自由还有冒险，那同时的话，其实它也是可以帮助我们发现自我，学习新的技能，还有可以很好的感受自然，然后享受生活嘛, like me.
Then the next one referred the life to the movie called Nomadland.
《无依之地》，之前很火的一部电影，好像是拿了奥斯卡还是什么是吗
我这个不知道，其实我都没看过，你有看吗？
我好像有看了一点点。So what happened?
So she said she wanted to be like the main character Fern in that movie, who lived as a nomad, just like what you said before, like nomad in Mongolia.
就游牧民族嘛。
So she could drive her own van and meet like-minded people.
所以像那个Fern，就无依之地里面那个主角Fern是吧，她其实是一个非常独立的女性，而且她决定过上一种游牧的生活，开着那台RV，那可以遇到志同道合的人，那确实是啊，对吧，然后她遇到的人，其实都是那些追求同样的自由啊，还有冒险的人。

2024.9.04

【转录5/13】【12:36-15:30】
Yeah, we met a lot of RV folks around the campfire. So actually, most of them were seniors. And my idea of sojourn lifestyle for my retirement actually comes from them. And after a few drinks, everyone got chatty. I asked about their lives, and it turned out they were all retired. They rented an RV sports for a month every other month. In between, they were going home to take care of their houses. Almost all of them had dogs too.
就是我当时，我就在那个海滩遇到了好多房车族，也是他们给到了我这个旅居退休的一个想法，因为我在那边认识到的大部分都是老年人，退休的老年人，就，你知道，就喝多几杯，那就不敢问的都问了，就开始问他们怎么生活，然后因为他们在这个房车营地一住就是一个月，然后我就问他们，够不够钱用，这个什么花费高不高，就是原本不敢问的，全都因为几杯酒就开始问了。
哇，然后他们也敞开心扉。
大家喝了酒之后都是亲兄弟了嘛，然后他们就说其实也挺好的，就是费用也不算特别高，对于他们来说，反正他们是每隔一个月，就在这些房车营地住一个月，然后回家可能看一下，修修补补他们的房子一个月，就大概是这样子生活，然后他基本上每个老人都有他们自己的狗，哇，老人与狗。
老人与狗
That's my idea of my retirement. It's basically from them. Yeah.
That's also my dream retirement life. Actually, I never had any RV experience. So how is it like?
Well, I think it depends on people. For example, those seniors I met on that campsite, they lived there for a month. I don't think many young people can do that. But they lived there for a month. So they have a proper RV for this one-month life. The RV is actually like a tiny home on wheels with all the comforts like kitchens, bathrooms, comfy beds, etc. One couple even had a little garden outside their RV.
Wow.
Yeah. And they could meet a lot of similar people at their age. So it would become a big extended family for this one month. Because I think for most of the old people, their kids are busy with life. So you know, when you are on the campsite like that, you can find your companies. And then if you go for a beach like that, you can do fishing, watch the sea, swimming, whatever, any water sports you can do over there. That is a cool style.
Yeah. That sounds fantastic. Now I'm looking forward to my American road trip.

Yao0411

2024.9.04

【转录4/13】【9:21-12:32】
Yeah, that sounds really good. You know, you have everything basically, but you just have to drive there. Yes. Well, compared to yours, my only camping experience was in UK. And basically, I carried probably about 40 kilo things on my back all the way to the peak of the mountain.
That is called backcountry camping.
Yeah, exactly. That's why just now you said you have the water station or whatever. I remember at that time, I could only drink the water from the stream, you know就只能喝那种溪水。
That is real camping. Mine is more like, oh, we just have a tent. Let's stay in the tent. That's all.
True. So anything interesting during your glamping?
Well, we chose a secluded beach called Indian Pass. We found this camping site right next to the beach, just big enough for about eight RVs, recreation vehicles, and some car camping spots. So it was pure luck finding a spot like that. We barbecued our own food with the waves crashing in the background. And one morning, we saw dolphins super close to the shore. It was like a private show. And another day, I spotted bald eagles. It felt like a scene straight out of the nature documentary. Even the long-term campers were amazed since they'd never seen eagles there before.
Wow. 那总体来说，你真的是非常幸运哦。我听说美国的那些露营点的话，都非常紧的，就是要提前很久去预定。所以刚才说你那个地方只能容纳八辆房车，那你竟然可以找到位置已经很厉害了哦。
它其实那边有很多个那种露营地，然后只是我们找到这一个是比较近海的，也要看时间段啦，不是所有时间都是那么紧的。它有时候也是蛮好，只要不是节假日的话，其实都还好。然后那时候就比较幸运的时候，就在那个海滩上面，我就看到海豚离我不远的在那里游泳。然后还看到了最出名的那个白头鹰，就是我们花旗参身上面的那个标志。
哦，就是勾起了童年的回忆，那些在广东长大的小朋友估计会有点印象，认住呢只鹰（粤语）
是的
哇，那你当时有没有对着那个白头鹰许愿？你说在那里长期露营的人都没有看到，你就这么幸运看到了。
为什么要许愿，就跟那个流星是一样对吧？
对啊，就不是每个人都有机会可以看到流星啊。所以看到流星的话，一定要许愿啊，就是哦，我今天真幸运。
不是，应该看到的时候，第一时间先对我手机许愿，让我先拍个照。
哦，对。
那个比较重要，是是是，最重要是先拍出照片，不然怎么发图。
哦，对，就要淡定，然后拍照片，然后发朋友圈来炫耀一下，你看我今天多幸运
不发图等同没看啊。
That’s true. Wow, so I bet probably you have met some interesting people there?

2024.9.04

【转录3/13】【5:00-9:19】
So, you know what you can expect when you walk into a restaurant or hotel. That's quite helpful. So anyway, so we bring two dogs with us, but we didn't go for any hotels. We pretty much just camped all the way there.
Wow.我现在觉得真的是特别难得，因为其实在国内比较少见，我还记得以前我朋友有一只小狗嘛，当时我们想去商场里面吃一家餐厅，我们特地打电话去那个餐厅去问一下说：“你好,请问这里的话，可不可以带宠物进去？”那餐厅还跟我说，我们可以啊，然后我们还专门有那种狗狗的冰淇淋，然后可以给狗狗吃。但是你知道发生什么事情吗？
怎么了？
我们去到那个商场，然后商场说，不好意思，这里不让狗进去。
所以那个餐厅给你进，但是商场不给你进。
对啊，那个餐厅它pet-friendly有啥用啊，我都进都进不去。
好搞笑
对啊，其实现在我们国内也挺多地方，包括一些酒店跟餐厅，都挺欢迎带宠物进去的，感觉现在养狗的人，养宠物的人越来越多了。那时候我在美国的话，其实就会有一个网站可以搜，就它是专门给宠物主，特别是给狗的，其实主要是给狗啦，因为你很少有人带猫出去，你也不会带你四只猫出去对吧？
对，他们可能就还没有出门，已经开始应激了，胆小鬼。
所以就一般所谓pet-friendly 都是dog-friendly ，那时候我就搜一下看哪个餐厅或者哪个酒店可以带，但是当时我们其实都是一路露营过去了。当然12个小时从田纳西开到佛罗里达，也不是那么久。
不是那么久？
对，12个小时不能一天给开完的，其实如果真的要顶一顶，就基本上是可以开得到的。
是不是因为美国的话，它没有限速？就是说没有警察的时候，就没有限速？有警察的时候才有限速。
据说有一些地方有摄像头，但是非常少，所以就可以开。我记得我那时候开不快，我老被说。就是你知道国内开车，就两边有栅栏的嘛，所以我就挺习惯两边是有保护的，多少有点保护，包括双向车道中间是有个栅栏的。
是。
对吧？
对，很有安全感。
对，我只习惯我的车流方向，我只注意我的车流方向，但是美国大部分的高速公路上面，中间是没有东西隔开的。
哇，天啊，不是很危险吗？
他们觉得很正常，那我是很没安全感，所以我开得很慢，就老被那些车说话。就因为我看到那车在我隔壁反方向这样开过来嘛，我就觉得哇，天哪，我就感觉我快撞上，虽然真的没有。那感觉就有点不太，反正我不太习惯，你在国外开过车吗？
我？我在国外开过啊，我还有驾照呢
哪里的？
我是印尼的驾照
哦
然后我当时的话就是，就我们叫左肽，然后他们叫右肽，所以跟我们刚好相反。所以我每一次想要转灯的时候，我就不小心开的那个雨刮。
哈哈哈哈
然后我们是在国内的话是在右道，然后在印尼的话它是左道，然后好几次我就习惯性往右边偏，我车上人就说Yao, Yao, watch out, watch out
哇,that sounds dangerous
对，那刚才你说的在美国那里去开车，其实我在几年前的话也是计划去美国嘛。当时已经想好了，我也想租一台车，就直接从那个LA开去那个Las Vegas那边，就是一路玩过去嘛，所以我当时也是想说，哦，那不错啊，但是Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, my trip canceled. That's why I'm very curious about yours. So what happened next?
Well, I said we did camping, right? But we're actually more like glamping. Oh. You know the word glamping?
Yeah. So what's the difference?
Glamping is glamorous camping.就是不是苦哈哈的那种露营，我们是相对来说是奢侈一点的露营。That being said, we will have a camping site which provides you fresh water, bathroom that you can take shower, you can go to, you know, toilets. And they even have a convenience store. So it's not that rough for our camping because ours is glamping.

That was the Florida trip. I remember back then, we actually drove 11 hours to Florida from my state, and it was just a little tiny car, but we have two people and two dogs.
Wow.
Yeah, so we had to ditch the back seats to make space for all our camping gear, clothes, and of course two dogs, two big dogs, two Labradors. And then we just drove all the way from Tennessee to Florida. Because we have two dogs, it's easier to just drive around. I mean, without two dogs, I wouldn't think about a road trip.
Yeah, true. So, what happened next?
It was a long journey. So, the journey itself is also an exploration. Unlike the road here, probably it's all about highways and fences to protect us along the road. But when I was driving in the States, I drove for like an hour. It could be all trees and no protection, no fences along the roads.
This sounds kind of dangerous.
Well, it took me quite some time to get used to that, because I'm so familiar with urban driving, not like a countryside driving. But luckily, we have a lot of rest areas that we can fill up our water bottles. And also, there is a little water funders for dogs as well, so we can feed our dogs water. And sometimes, we stumbled upon a beautiful little wetland park just right next to a rest area. So, it was like a hidden gem with vibrant plants and birds everywhere. It was magical.
Wow, that sounds fun. I think they are very pet-friendly, because they have those kinds of dog dispensers, right? And it seems that it's kind of popular to travel with the dogs in the States.
Yeah, there are a lot of dog-friendly places. And there's a website that we can look up information, which is whether this restaurant or this hotel is dog-friendly enough. Not just dog-friendly, but people can make a lot of comments on the website and say like, this restaurant says they are dog-friendly, but they only allow us to sit outside, something like that.
