The world is vast. Quite often we met with travellers around us; the usual conversation about where they came from and where they’re going next. Down on the Dubai Beach Houses, the surfers enjoy the wave; on the middle of the jungle, hikers enjoy the Scariest Pool; and in the middle of the city, the visitors enjoy the magnificent Tokyo Underground Temple. But I am still in here, enjoying the silence of the room. Then I started reading the quotes you’ll find below. Some made me laugh. Some made me inspire.
