在休闲学的授课过程中，我特别喜欢把休闲和社会现象以及同学们的当下生活结合起来讨论，也总是喜欢邀请同学们在课堂内外分享自己的休闲故事。独乐乐不如众乐乐，为什么不请同学们把他们的故事记录并分享出来，让更多人体会到休闲的美好呢？休闲故事，休闲的力量！

During the Ice festivals. I feel more calm.
2019年3月，我决定和朋友参加库苏古尔省的冰雪节，这个节日每年冬天举办，是最好的冰雪节之一，所以我不想错过这次机会。起初，一共有5个朋友想去，但是两周后，其中一些朋友不想去了，他们告诉我“那儿离乌兰巴托太远，冬天更冷，更不舒服”。
终于，在出发的前一周，其余的三个朋友也放弃了，我怎么也想象不到我的计划那么快夭折。所以，摆在我面前有两个难题，我是等待下个冬天的冰雪节呢，还是现在独自前往？
冰雪节在库苏古尔省的库苏古尔湖上举行，该湖位于蒙古西部的北面，是蒙古最大的淡水湖。最终，我决定背上行囊，只身前往。我坐巴士去那里，但是那时候我对这次旅行一无所知。我抵达了库苏古尔省，在当地的一个小旅馆暂留一天，之后我叫了一辆车去参加冰雪节。到达目的地之后，我只是在周围闲步，我遇到了新朋友，侃侃而谈。这对我来说，兴致激昂。
我走到湖畔，亲眼所见节日盛况，那一刻，景色摄人心魄。独自旅行本身就是一次挑战，许多人都是和朋友、同事或家人一起旅行，而我感到自己形单影只，但是几个小时后，我熟悉适应了环境，感觉好多了。

我拍了美丽的照片，看了奇特的冰雕，吃了当地的新鲜食物，遇到了新朋友。回到旅馆，很庆幸自己参加了这个节日。这次旅行，让我信心增加，也让我考虑了生活的意义。

对于致力祖国发展，工作兢兢业业的年轻一代，我总是感到无比自豪。我很欣赏一位在蒙古教育部勤恳工作的年轻人。他是一个非政府组织的负责人，该组织在2014年组织了一场马拉松比赛，为反对虐待儿童和对妇女使用暴力而募集资金。我非常想参加这次比赛，但是我不能找到和我一起在周日参加活动的伙伴。顺便说一下，我是一个业余跑步爱好者。
我认为，马拉松不仅仅是一场跑步比赛，而且无关业余或职业能力，马拉松比赛的意义在于积极影响我们的社会。每个人都知道虐待儿童和妇女是不对的，借助此次马拉松，我们需要更大声地抵制虐待儿童和妇女的行为。

我清晰地记得，马拉松比赛那天早上起来，天气寒冷灰暗，我从家坐汽车出发来到比赛地点，看到许多老人在赛前热身，最大的参赛者有85岁。
The oldest and the fastest participant of the running. She was 85 years old.
我意识到，只要自己不想孤独，就不会孤单。总会有人乐意帮助别人。我不擅长跑步，因此没有赢得比赛是情理之中，不过在决定参加比赛的那一刻起，我已经赢得自己。这两次经历帮助我更深刻地认识我自己。Unfortunately, I don’t have good picture of me. Luckily, I find myself from the short video. ：）
最后，我想分享一些我对于蒙古的休闲学和休闲习惯的感想。
闲暇活动与许多方面紧密相关，包括国家发展、政治政策和可持续性经济实力和收入水平。像蒙古一样的发展中国家，对休闲学没有任何综合系统的理解研究。说实话，在参加这次课程之前，我一点也不关注自己的休闲时间，所以，我对这个话题很感兴趣，我与人交谈，我与朋友们讨论了关于闲暇活动的几个问题，蒙古是大陆性气候，昼夜温差大，四季分明。我明白了蒙古人的生活方式深受天气影响。
之前，我已经提过，我在Facebook上发起了一场关于闲暇活动的短时选票，让圈内好友投票，一共有26人参加，投票结果显示，18人更倾向于留在家里陪伴孩子和家人，4人觉得“睡好觉就是闲暇时光”，4人说“他们没有充分的闲暇时光”，其余的人，有热衷于登山徒步旅行、打篮球和出城旅游。在谈论之际，我发现了两种普遍但截然相反的回答。
第一个回答是周末留在家里，第二个回答是出城。在我看来，也许与交通和空气污染有关，有些人不想花太多时间在交通堵车时间上，所以周末更喜欢留在家里。另一方面，冬天的乌兰巴托地区污染更严重，有些人想出市中心去呼吸新鲜空气。
起初，我认为休闲时间和休闲学不会太难理解。但是参加了课程，和同学交流以后，我对我们的生活方式有了更深刻的理解，心中对此的想法完全改变了。
我认为休闲时间是衡量生活质量的标准，是更好了解自己的一种方式。
Knowing and Winning Myself- My leisure stories
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom
I want to share two stories which I will never forget in my life. On March in 2019, I decided to go to the Ice festivals in Khuvsgul province with my friends. Since it was one of the best Ice festivals that was held once in every winter, I did not want to miss the opportunity. Initially, five of my friends wanted to visit festival. Two weeks later some of them had already changed their minds. They said to me ‘it is too far from Ulaanbaatar and it seems like much colder and uncomfortable during winter’.Finally before the last weekend other three of them also abandoned their plan to travel. I could never imagine that my plan would be ruined so quickly. There are big questions for me. Should I wait for next winter or go by myself?The ice festivals is held at Khuvsgul lake in Khuvsgul province. It has the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia which is located in the north of western part. Eventually, I have decided to go by myself and prepared for my trip. I went by bus. That time I did not have any idea about travelling there. I arrived at Khuvsgul province, I stayed in a small room at local hotel for one day. I arranged a car to pick me up to take me to the Ice festival. After reaching there I just walked around in Khuvsgul province. I was meeting new people and talked with them about everything. It was so interesting for me.It was an eye catching moment when I came to the place where the ice festival was organized. It was challenging to me to travel alone. There were many people who were visiting together with their friends, work colleagues, and family. I felt like I am the only person alone by myself, but after few hours I got used to the situation and felt better.
I have taken beautiful photos and watched unique ice sculptures and ate local fresh food, met with new people. When I returned back a hotel, I am happy that I came to the festival. This trip had given me more confidence and helped me think about the meaning of life.
I am always proud of the younger generations who are working hard to help improve in my country. I also admired one young person who was working very diligently in the Mongolian education sector. He is leading a Non government organization that coordinated the marathon event in 2014 to raise funds for combatting Child abuse and violence woman. I really wanted to attend this event, but I could not find partner who was wanted to run on a Sunday. By the way, I am still an amateur runner. In my understanding is that it’s not a just running, no matter whether you are an amateur or professional. The meaning participating in the marathon was to influence in positive way in my society. Every person knows about that child, woman abuse is not good. It’s time to say this in a more stronger voice using the event of the marathon.I clearly remember that when I woke up in morning on day of marathon it was a cold and grey day. I went by bus from my home. I came to the running place. I saw many old people who are preparing to running. The oldest participants was 85 years old.I have realized I am never really alone unless I choose to be. There is always someone willing to help. I am not good at running. Therefore, It is very understandable that I am not winner, but I won myself by deciding to participate this event by myself. These two trips helped me see my true self with more insight.Finally, I want to share my thoughts about leisure studies and leisure habits in my country.Leisure activities are strongly connected with such issues including development of country, sustainable political policy, power of economy and level of income. In developing country like mine, there are not any comprehensive theoretical understanding about leisure studies. To be honesty, I don’t have any idea about leisure time before I am attended this lecture. So I am interested this topic, I asked few a questions about leisure activity among my friends. While I was chatting with people I understood that weather is strongly influence on Mongolians lifestyle. We have a continental climate prone to extreme temperature swings. It has four clearly distinctive seasons. Earlier I have mentioned that I had taken a quick poll about leisure activities among my Facebook friends. A total of 26 people participated in my poll. According to my poll, 18 participants preferred to stay home, spend time with their children and family, 4 of them said to me ‘sleeping well is leisure’, 4 people ‘they do not have enough free time’, others told me that they had been hiking in the mountains, playing basketball, going out of city. When I was chatting with people I observed two common but opposite answers. The first one was to stay at home on weekends, the other one was to go out of the city. In my opinion, it may have been related to problem of traffic jams and air pollution. People don’t want to spend too much time in a traffic jam that’s why they prefer to stay home on weekends. On the other hand, in the winter time there is much more air pollution in Ulaanbaatar area. People want to go out of the city center, to breathe a fresh air.Initially, I thought about leisure time and that leisure study is not too hard to understand. After I have attended the lecture, thinking more deeply about our lifestyles and chatting with people. My mind has completely changed.I understand that leisure time of the measure of quality of life and a way to know more about yourself.
