兴趣和理想 Hobbies and Ideal <1>
除了工作外，我们的兴趣爱好广泛，看书、上网、户外活动、自驾、烹调、宠物、交友、摄影、旅游 …… 多年来走过中国许多名山大川，到过世界多个国家，那里的历史文化风景美食、风土人情令人留恋。最令人印象深刻的还有世界各地我们所住过的风格独特的各种家庭旅馆。
Besides work, we have lots of hobbies, including reading, surfing the Internet, enjoying outdoor activities, self-driving, cooking delicious food, raising pets, making friends, photographing, traveling and etc. Over these years, we have visited lots of well-known mountains and rivers in China and many other countries where the history, culture, scenery, foods, local conditions and customs make us reluctant to leave. The most impressive thing to us is the family inns with different special styles where we have stayed over the world.

从新西兰北岛开车到南岛的米佛海峡，领教到世界唯一的高山鹦鹉 “食羊鹦鹉” kea 的厉害 。 看到它那长而尖利可怕的嘴和爪子，我们也和众人一样，惊恐扑向车厢紧闭门窗，大踩油门逃之夭夭。
We drove from North Island to South Island to visit our destination Milford Sound, where we experienced the fierceness of Kea (A kind of carnivorous parrot).
