The World Behind the Door

A "Come experience the world!" signboard right in front of the door, has caught my attention, for it immediately tells me that a genuine avid traveler owns the room. I, getting curious, entered the exotic place and got blown away as to what I saw next, when I closed the eerie sounding door. Walking in the middle of a spacious room hallway, has enthralled me, for a series of colorful, variety of shapes photo frames had emerged in the bare white walls of the room. The pictures beneath those frames are the evidence of the different, but meaningful memories of his travel around the globe. Then, straight ahead, is the right part of his room, where a distinctive five level shelf, dedicated to his love for traveling can be found. It is like a world souvenir shop, for it has everything. In the first and second level of the shelf are the atlas and different countries' travelling guide books, postcards, photo albums, and a medium-sized magnetic globe. And the last three lower levels are designated for the souvenirs, some of it are the well known structures like Eiffel Tower, Great Pyramid, Leaning Tower of Pisa and many more. On the other side of his room, is a life size of the world map, lain on his bed, which serves as a quilt. It was even more astonishing, for an Indian like patterned mask of an elephant, was hanged on the wall of the bed, which somehow serves like an amulet for him./ Travelling around the world may seem like an extravagant hobby for most of us, or maybe especially for me./ However, the inviting signage, that lured me to take a peek of what the world has to offer, have win me to have a dream of seeing it in real life, as well.
