People wonder why I can travel a lot, this must cost tons of money to make it. Gonna to share my backpack experience in my book which hopefully on shelf later this year. Honestly, my travel is very very budget, too budget that hard to make people believe. Take an example, for my Eastern Europe travel last April, total 28 days, 12 countries and 15 cities. How much does it cost me? Closer guess will get a special gift. p.s.: the mysterious thing in backpack spirit is how to experience the culture. Local culture I'm talking about, not the culture you bring from HongKong to overseas.

It is the major industrial and economic powerhouse of the Brazilian economy. Named after Saint Paul, São Paulo has the largest population, industrial complex, and economic production in the country. It is the richest state in Brazil. The capital, São Paulo, is also the largest city in South America (and the Southern Hemisphere). Backpacking in São Paulo gave me a really new experience, you can feel the beautiful Portuguese style architecture from their buildings; you can feel the new growth active economy (being one of the BRIC countries) from their busy trading just like what you see in Kathmandu, doing wholesales and dealing goods on the street; you can feel the crowed culture, mix and match between businessman, leisure walker and the household peoples, like what you see in Istanbul. No matter what, you really need to pay high attention and alert in this city. Safety should be always your first concern.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. It begins with a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito, which introduces the protists through saliva into the circulatory system. In the blood, the protists travel to the liver to mature and reproduce. Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever and headache, which in severe cases can progress to coma or death.
