Just read a very interesting post on my friends blog--Bring your favorite book or music album if you were born after 1980, you can get 15% off. That was a private youth Inn's promotion. After 3 months advertising on the internet, the booking has raise triple. Some Guests on the interview said that they love that experience. Since they could save money, and also that was a good place to meet people who has the same hobby. Some other people said that they would love to try in the future.
For me, definitely I love that idea. I think that was so special. I am glad that I am qualify that two conditions, I can save money and meet the same interested people. Next time when I am on my vacation, that Inn will be my priority lodging to stay.

Legal Drinking Age
We odered beer while my friends and I were out for dinner tonight. As usual, a server came to check our ID. One of my friends brought up a interesting question, he asked " At what age when you first drank alcohol? And what is the legal drinking age in China?"
After home, I still have this question in my head, and it blew up to a bigger related question. It made me wonder the legal drinking age worldwide. Then I did some research. I figured out the following data.
I guess the U.S. teenager may want to travel Spain after reading that. It's because so many teenagers are curious about drinking, JUST LIKE MY COUSINS! While we are drinking wine in family dinner, they always get their glasses ready by the side, pretented they are adults, actually they are just 14 years old.
