MY HIKING FRIENDS

My friend, I know my English is not that great, I don’t even know the name for this English corner of Doyouhike, but I like it and I hope it will be bigger and more popular with everyone’s effort.

My second hiking friend is Mr. “伴你走天涯“ 。 To me, he is a very serious and quiet person. Each time when I join a hiking team, I will try to get familiar with the head donkey as quickly as possible, but not to this guy. I went out with his team for more than three times, yet I still dare not be too casual with him. If you don’t know him, you will think he is a piece of ice. When he looks at you, you will shut up immediately because of the noble coldness in his eyes.. But I know in the bottom of his heart, he is just like a child. Once I saw him running around the track of a primary school with a little girl, He had nothing on but shorts . He was sweating after the badminton game. More than ten of us all stood there watching, laughing so loud.

What impresses me most is that he can write very good articles and shoot great pictures. Well, all the MM in his team will become such a beauty in his articles and photos. That is the reason why so many pretty girls would like to go hiking with him, hehehehehehe…

“Do you know where I am from?” This was the question when I first met Fat Horse. Of course Fat Horse is only his ID. In MF, you never use your real name. Every one has an ID. If you don’t like, you don’t need to tell people where you are from, what you are doing or if you are married. “I guess you are from the North.” I said. “ No, but I will give you one more chance.” he said in Cantonese. But his Cantonese has some kind of accent, so I said,” Well, I think you are a Hakka.” He smiled, “ I am from Chaozhou.” Ok, so he must be the boss of his family, but he tells everyone that his wife is his boss. “She is my leader, my head and my spirit as well.” How I am eager to meet this famous Ms Fat Horse. If we walked slow, he would said,” If my wife is here with us, we will walk even slower.” That makes us feel happier because it seems that we are not that bad.

Why does he call himself Fat horse? He told me that he was born in the year of Horse, and he used to be very fat, more than 170 pounds. After a year in MF, he lost about 35 pounds! Wow, what a great job!! He goes hiking every Saturday, most of the time every Saturday and Sunday. But even I do the same thing; I don’t think I can lose any pounds because I can never resist the temptation of delicious food! As you know, my friend, we usually go eat a big dinner after the whole day mountain climbing. And because we sweat so much, we won’t feel guilty when we pour down the cold beer, and fill our stomach with the tasty meat and all kinds of food. We chat happily, get to know each other better and become friends at the table. Before we know it we already overeat. How can you lose any weight? Well, let’s just enjoy the life, forget about our weight!

Mr. Fat Horse is a person easy to get along with. He is a funny guy, full of sense of hummer. He does not care if you make fun of him. We will joke all the way through and I feel being happy is just that easy.

He is one of my favorite head donkeys.
