For me, actually I hate to walk. When I didn’t get married with my husband. Our first travel is to BJ and I became angry. It was very hot and I want to take taxi, but he didn’t so we argued. When I was single before at weekends, I always stayed at home – I don’t like to go outside. I can stay at home for the whole month, it’s okay. When we have our kids, my husband said, “we have to take them outside”.

I checked the weather report and it said maybe it will be raining today. So I told my daughter, “maybe we have to cancel our trip this weekend”. My daughter was sad.

Travel is just go another place to look, even inside and not go outside, they will be happy. For them, it’s okay. Maybe they can build a tent and play with us. My husband say it’s okay, it’s relax.

Too intimate behaviors between lovers in public place

Sometimes you can see some lovers do too intimate behaviors in public .For example the girl will sit on the boy’s lap in the subway, in the bus and so on.That behavior really makes me feel uncomfortable. I can accept lovers kiss or hug in public when they want to show their beautiful feelings. For me ,I think these behaviors are O.K. You cannot but feel amazing.It is really good for young guys. But if the behavior will make others feel uncomfortable, i thinks it means it exceeds the limit. It is not only two people’s thing and it has social impact on others.The couples fall in love and express their feelings.However they also need to pay attention to social distance.Too intimate behaviors are impolite and you should do them when you are in private.
