看到不少人都提到經濟問題，仔細看全文就知道，沒錢也有沒錢的壯遊辦法，好比有名的「鐵馬家庭」，夫婦也不是高薪，還兩個小孩子，還不是一樣全家花了一年多的時間去環遊世界，去拉贊助、去賣藝、去打工成了完成夢想的方式；他們的格局不同在於：會想辦法解決主客觀的各種問題，而許多人則是想到這些就直接放棄。就跟窮和尚跟富和尚南海取經的故事很像……

和尚是去取經 , 那麼 grand tour 的意義/目的又是何在 ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Tour
The Grand Tour was a European travel itinerary that flourished from about 1660 until the arrival of mass rail transit in the 1820s. It was popular amongst young British upper-class men and served as an educational rite of passage for the wealthy. Its primary value lay in the exposure both to the cultural artifacts of antiquity and the Renaissance and to the aristocratic and fashionable society of the European continent. A grand tour could last from several months to several years.
不打沒利益的戰爭 , 不讀沒實效的書 ! 如果一個人活到二三十歲還需要藉由 grand tour 來確定自己的人生方向 ...... 那還真是可惜了前面二三十年的光陰 !
