Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey（新泽西）in the past，staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.
One year，however，Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business，so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungry，because in that small inn in New Jersey，no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. “Are you still serving dinner？” asked Mr Smith. “Yes，certainly，sir，” answered the waiter. “We serve it until half past nine.”
“What are the times of meals then？”asked Mr Smith. “Well，sir，”answered the waiter.“We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning，lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon，tea from four to five，and dinner from six to half past nine.”
“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London，”said Mr Smith.

In 50 years of travelling, he has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with beautiful scenery( 风景). Usually he writes just a short message to himself.
Colin McCorpuodale was born in London in 1938. On one of the walls in his room, you can see a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins( 别针) stuck in it. "These pins mean a lot to me," says Mr McCorpuodale. "I follow the rule. I can stick one in only if I've been in a place for more than 24 hours."
Of course, Mr McCorpuodale has his favourite places. He describes New Zealand as "a wonderful country". About China, he says, "This is a special country in the world. I like her wonderful culture and friendly people.
Wherever he goes, Mr McCorpuodale takes with him a photo of his wife, a candle, a shirt with a secret pocket and a pen.
So why does he do so? For the postcards or the travels? Mr McCorpuodale laughs, "Neither. Only for the meaningful life. "
