【遇到的人。People I Met】Flex Lewis

在首尔的奥林匹亚公园，很荣幸地遇到了四次奥林匹亚212冠军。当时，有个摄影师在为他拍写真。那天以前，他刚刚赢得了Men's 212 AGP Pro 2017的冠军。

我走向前，要与他拍照，他很大方地圆了我的要求。他还让我试试拿着他手上的金牌。哇，那金牌真的有重量哦，应该至少有1kg。

要知道他的背景，可以游览：https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_Lewis

With 4times winners of Mr Olympia since 2012, Flex Lewis! :-0

He was taking pictures with a photographer in the Seoul Olympic Park. He just won gold metal Men's 212 AGP Pro 2017 the day before we told this photo!

We were lucky enough to meet him. He was so generous in taking photo with me and he was very humble. 

He let me hold the gold metal for awhile. Oh man, the metal should be weighted at least 1kg! That was heavy!

【旅行趣想。Travel Things Thinks】汗拿山。Hallasan

汗拿山有五个爬山路径，觀音寺探訪路(Gwaneumsa Trail)是其中一个。这路径估计来回需要八到九个小时。网搜成绩都显示这路径是最具挑战的但却最漂亮的。网上的汗拿山照片都好漂亮，所以好期待。

爬了以后，发现原来网上分享的漂亮景色都在山顶才能看得到。基于时间的关系，我们只是去到了离海平面1500米的山间，一路走的都是森林。我们没有看到一望无际的山顶风景，但是从离海平面1500米的山间看着离海平面1950米的山顶也是不赖。

依据南韩旅行指南网站，Eurimok Trail和Yeongshil Trail是最短的路径。它们只需要两小时至两小时班的时间就完成了。Google搜索显示这两条路径都有好漂亮的山景。如果赶时间的话，可以选择这两条路径。:)

There are 5 trails in Hallasan, Gwaneumsa Trail is one of them. It is estimated that it will need 8-9 hours to go back and forth for this trail. Internet surfing results show that this trail is the most challenging one but is with the most beautiful scenic views. The pictures in internet are really beautiful and therefore very excited to see it.

After the hike, it was realized that those beautiful scenic views are only view-able on top of the mountain. Due to lack of time, we were only able to reach the rest house located at 1500m above sea level. We went through trail in the jungle to reach there. We were not able to see the mountain view but the view of the mountain top from this 1500m above sea level spot was remarkable as well.

According to South Korea Travel Guide, there are two short trails. They are Eurimok Trail and Yeongshil Trail. Both only need about 2-2.5hours  to finish the trail. From the google result, both trails have beautiful mountain view from bottom of the mountain. If you are rush of time, you may consider to choose either one of these routes. :)

【旅行趣想。Travel Things Thinks】南韩人彼此的信任。South Korea's Mutual Trust

在首尔走到累了的我们，到一家咖啡店坐下来喝杯咖啡歇息。这一歇，让我们目睹南韩人对各自不偷自己东西的信任。他们可以很放心地留放自己的包包在座位上，到二十米外的柜台买餐饮。好震撼！如果是在马来西亚，包包早就被人拿走了，还要到警局报警。彻底地佩服这社会对彼此的信任。

We stopped by a cafe to rest after a long walk in Seoul. During the rest, we witnessed how Koreans trust each other for not stealing each other's belonging. They can leave their belongings on the seats while away to get their drinks from the counter which is 20meter away. This is extraordinary! Your belonging would have been stolen if this is in Malaysia. We are really impressed with this trust that they have for each other. 

【旅行趣想 Travel Things Thinks】在汉江边演出。Performing by Han River

在汉江边，有一群年轻人轮流上台唱歌为大家演奏。感觉这是这班年轻人一起在大家的陪同下来个大胆尝试，在这乐闹的地方用合力的力量大胆地为大众演唱。他们的努力好棒！又可以娱乐大家，又可以让自己吸取经验，一石二鸟。真的好棒！

他们的表演虽然没有那么专业，但是至少他们敢敢地为他们自己的喜好漂亮地做一个尝试。我看到舞台不远处有架照相机，我猜他们有将自己的表演录起来。如果是的话，希望他们会回去看带，把自己不够强的部分好好地增强。

从他们的演出，我也体会到这一点。在舞台上，一定要把自己的最好表演出来，敢敢地把一首歌用感觉好好地诠释出来。如果舞蹈可以让歌的诠释带到更好的境界，那就跳吧，不要犹疑，不要害怕别人笑你自跳自爽，要别人因为你的舞台享受而一起跟你跳。我们做任何事，都应该这样。;-)

There are a group of youngsters performing one by one by the Han River. If not mistaken, they came in group to support each other in public performing as it could provide them with more courage. Their effort was great! It could bring entertainment to everyone in the park and also could help them gather some experience. One bird kills two stones, really great!

However, their performance was not quite professional. It was quite explanatory. At least, they courageously gave it a try. I believed they were recording their performance as I saw there were a camera standing there. If it was, I hope they will identify their strength and weaknesses after going back to continue improve themselves to a step more closer to professionalism.

From their performance, I realize something. If you are given a chance to perform in a stage, whether or not it is for free or with wages, you must give your best all out and courageously show your emotion when sing your song out. If dancing could interpret your song to a higher level, then dance it shamelessly. Don't hesitate, don't be afraid other will laugh at your ugly dance, don't bother if other think that you are narcissistic. You should focus enjoying your moment on the stage and let other to be influenced by you that they want to dance with you too. We should apply this not limited to performing on stage but other aspects of our life too. :)
