People usually go by plane when they travel ,but I try to go by ship.
I have gone on ship from Keelung in Taiwan to Naha, from Shimonoseki in Japan to Pusan in Korea, from penang in Malaysia to Medang in Sumatra, from Padang in Snmatra to Jakarta in Java and from Nagasaki in Japan to Shanghai in China.
I have been to Padang from Jakarta by bus, It took 50 hours. I was very tired.
I seemed to die.
I have been by a train from Singapore to Bankok in 1986 . It took two days.
In America I have been by Blue train from Chicago to Las Vegas and by Greyhoundbus from Las Vegas to Los Angels.
I had heard about a ship which go to Hong Kong once a week from Takao, Taiwan.
I hope to get on that ship someday.
I made many friends during the voyage from Taiwan to Naha.
There was a Dane going to Okinawa to study Okinawan clothmaking , a Japanese who ran a company in Taipei, and an Englishman who had spent 3 months traveling in Southwest Asia and East Asia.
On the way to Pusan , I made a friend with an Englishman who was teaching English in Tokyo.
We drank beer and had a long conversation in the coffee shop.
As in the example above we can have many opportunities to talk to other people on ships. Therefore , we can make friends easier on a ship than on an airplane.
Also, I try to travel alone and not by package tour.
I have to do everything by myself .That way I have to put in a lot of effort for preparation, but there are unexpected meeting during the trip , so I enjoy traveling alone.
In Taiwan, I happened to meet a Taiwanese student whose major was Japanese, and we became friends.
He took me to the college he went to and I also had dinner at his house.
I think it was wonderful experience.
Even now I correspond with him.
By making friends with people of other countries, we can learn about their culture and customs.
