古有西游记，今有柬越游记。古有四人长途跋涉历经磨练为取经，今有四友游山玩水偶经磨砺后取了经，不同的是，前者取的是佛经，后者取的是社会经。原来，毕业旅行的意义不仅仅在于共同玩乐的体验，也在于接触五花八门的人和经历繁琐复杂的事后，对社会和生活多了深一层的认知和体会。因为这些人和事，在平日千遍一律的生活里，是很难在短期内汇集在一起的。而这些体会，对即将要踩进江湖的我们，更是难能可贵的。

话说回来，虽然同样是游记，同样是四个人，但古今毕竟不同，角色如不雷同纯属不巧。

In the classical Chinese literature "Journey to the West", there were these 4 guys embarking on a long and dangerous journey in search of Buddhist sutras. At present times, there were another 4 friends traveling to Cambodia and Vietnam after graduation for fun and exposure. They weren't given the task of finding any text, but along the way, they had learnt that there's another objective. Through various events and interactions with all walks of life, they had gained more insights about society and life. These experiences are unlikely to be obtained through monotonous daily life, and hence are precious, especially to us that are going to enter society soon.

Both journeys were joined by 4 journeymates, but seperated by few centuries, and hence there are bound to be differences in the roles played by members. It will be a miracle if things can be matched so well.

现代版师父：则瀚
高瘦白净、沾酒出瘼、不忍杀价、舍钱喂商的绝种好人。生来既有使命，为了找寻不惜攀山涉水，终于在越南找到与名字相对应的Chon 8。（注：Chon 8 是一种越南咖啡品种）

Modern Monk : Chak Hon
Tall, slim and fair, he's such holy that he seldom drinks due to allergy and bargains for a better price, not for himself, but for seller. He was borned with a mission, and is willing to take on challenges to search for it. In Vietnam, he found the ultimate Chon 8, which was perhaps named after him. (Note: Chon 8 is a type of Vietnamese coffee bean)

现代版马骝：俊霖
皮黑发卷、顽皮活泼、爱玩易累、悟性极高、擅长七十二变，变成当地人易如反掌。

Modern Monkey : Choon Lim

With dark complexion and curly hair, he's extremely active and naughty, though he becomes tired easily. As a quick learner and master of transformation, he can easily disguise as a local everywhere.

现代版八戒：智泉
腰粗股大、有肉又油、时有疏忽、自认帅气、善于搭讪，但却从不偷懒、负责体贴。

Modern Pig : Ah Bee (Chee Chuan)
Round and plum, muscular yet fatty; he's slightly absent-minded. He will never feel shy to show his handsomeness and to "flirt". Ironically, he's determined, responsible and caring as opposed to what you might think of him.

现代版沙僧：钊专
眼细朦胧、喝多睡多、好吃懒做、性格随和、善于被“搭讪”、却最具有冒险精神，给予的意见最中肯。

Modern Sandy : Eddie (Chow Chuan)
With small eyes, he always look like he's not having enough sleep. In fact, he sleep, eat and drink the most and avoid to commit. But he has great temper and adventurous spirit and always give objective comments. Perhaps that's the reason why he's popular to be "flirted" by ... ^^
