One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited 7 cities in Italy for three weeks in 2016! Lived in the Grand Canyon for a few months Climbed the Great Wall of China Seen the Terracotta Army in Xi'an Stood for 15 hours on the train without a seat from Shanghai to Beijing on Mid-Autumn Festival eve. Trekked for 2 days in the mountains at Zhangjiajie (scene of the movie Avatar). Trekked in MacRitchie Reservoir and visited the Treetop Walk in Singapore. Interesting sight: City dwellers in Shanghai bring foldable stools everywhere they go and use them while waiting for the metro/subway trains at the platform or when seats are filled up on trains. There are so many amazing people in the world. You'll never know this if you only live with your own kind.
