If we stayed at home, it will be comfortably and there will be no need to spend money. Therefore, in that case, we will learn little about the world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden our view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I think that it is good idea. It does not cost many, but we can still learn a lot.

In San Francisco, where the number of the homeless has risen by 7% in the last decade, a non-profit organization is putting bathrooms on wheels and driving them to those in need. The group, Lava Mae, is improving retiring city buses and bringing them into different neighborhoods, currently providing about 200 showers each week.
Doniece Sandoval, the founder of Lava Mae, first became interested in the issue in 2012, when she passed a young woman under an overpass near the San Francisco Design Center who was repeating to herself that she'd never get clean. ''It made me wonder what her chances were, '' said Sandoval, who was then inspired to research exactly how many public shower stalls(淋浴间)existed in the city. Her findings were disheartening.
So Lava Mae came together when she heard the city would be retiring cold city buses. ''I told myself, I want those buses!'' she said.
Each bus has two private bathrooms, one of which is wheelchair accessible. Along with the basic shower, sink and toilet, the spaces have soft lighting, digital controls for water, and hair dryers.
''Though you're only going to be on the bus for 20 minutes or so, it's 20 minutes of complete privacy,'' Said Sandoval.
The buses are parked near agencies that already serve the homeless. ''If we can reduce the amount of time people have to run from place to place to get essential services, we'll be able to make things better, '' said Sandova.
What's next for lava Mae? The group is starting a program so that others can mimic their process. ''What we're hoping to do is to get people to follow what we do, so they can recreate it.'' she said.
