澳洲天地
空中地面看澳洲
正文
首先声明，我的退休是被迫的。我喜欢我以前的工作，那份工作最大的优点就是自由，上班跟度假似的。记得最后一天交回公司配车时，眼泪差点掉了下来，二十几年工龄就这样画上了休止符。
我喜欢玩，从孩子二岁起一直保持每年的四个学生假期，三次澳洲国内，一次海外的旅行记录，直至2019年.
2021年，小儿子高中毕业。空巢了，我们二口子更是进一步，开始四驱澳洲。2024年了，回顾一下，五年的退休成绩如下：
1；帮助小儿子彻底戒掉痴迷网络游戏的坏习惯
2；孩子们的成绩从中等变成学霸
3；一家人一起环绕整个澳洲
4；二口子再次四驱环绕整个澳洲
5；从空中看完整个澳洲
在我看来，退休就是重生，一种全新的生活投资和体验。用通俗的语言解释，我迷上了澳洲；再退一步说，没看过澳洲，退休就不完美了！
It is the place I always want to visit and to pay my tribute to the victims.
I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to indulge in having fun. I never go to amusement parks or beaches and don't want to spend time on leisure. My children only get to travel if there's an art workshop, a sleep away summer music camp, or invited by a relative in another city for holidays. My life is very stoic. Having been trained in the military for years if not decades, entertainment and travel for leisure make me feel decadent. I probably hurrahed too much in boot camp in my early 30s in the U.S Army. The impressions were deep. It's about enduring pain and forgo any kind of self indulgent yearning. "It's a hard knock life", like what they sing in the musical Anne. I can relate more with hard labor and death camps than ocean cruises. I was pushed to the edges not just once. There's kind of feeling of being a survivor of life but not a beneficiary.
