Road Trip 2009: prologue<\/p>\n

Americans love their roads. You cannot blame them. On this lonely 2-lane highway, there isn’t a soul as far as eyes can see. The gently rolling landscape is vast and awesome. Sky is so clean and blue. Air-con is on. Music is soothing. You and your family are all by yourselves. Just like another family on a horse-drawn wagon, more than a hundred years ago. Yep, this is the American way: land of the free.<\/p>\n

I made sure that we never stray too far from civilization. We need clean beds, good water pressure, and modern plumbing. We like to expeirnece, as long as there won’t be any bruises or cuts. Yes, we are city wusses.<\/p>\n
