Uma Uthanda Ukuvakasha, Le Club ingaba Ilungelo Lakho!
Ngangingumphathi we-akhawunti ngaphambi kokuba ngibe ngumlobi wezokuvakasha, ngakho-ke mhlawumbe ubala izinto eziza ngokwemvelo. Lapho ngiqala ukuzwa ngeControllers 'Century Club (TCC), umqondo wokuthi "amazwe okuqoqa" wawuthandeka kangangokuthi ngaya ngokushesha kwiWebhu le-TCC ukuze ngifunde kabanzi.
Isisekelo se-TCC silula - noma ngubani oye waya emazweni angama-100 (njengoba kuchaziwe yi-TCC) emhlabeni ufanelekile ukuba ubulungu kuleli qembu.
I-TCC ayiyona iqembu elisha. Iqala ukuhlelwa eLos Angeles ngo-1954 yiqembu labantu abahamba kakhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi umqondo uye wakhanga amalungu avela e-United States nasemhlabeni jikelele. I-TCC njengamanje inamalungu angaphezu kwangu-1500, anezigaba ezingaba ngu-20 emhlabeni jikelele. Kulabo abathanda ukuhamba, leli qembu liphelele ngoba sivame ukuvakashela amazwe amaningi ohlwini lwabo. "Amazwe aqoqa" asinika futhi isizathu esihle sokuhamba ngisho nokunye okuningi!
I-TCC ingaphezu nje kokuthi "amazwe okuqoqa." Isiqubulo sithi - "Ukuhamba kwezwe ... leli pasipoti liya ekuthuleni ngokuqonda." Amalungu avela ezizindeni ezihlukahlukene, kepha bonke abathanda ukuvakasha nokuhlola futhi banentshiseko ekhethekile yokuphila. Bakholelwa ngempela ukuthi ulwazi ngamanye amasiko namazwe akhuthaza ukuthula. Amalungu amaningi angabantu abakhulile, futhi ngakhuthazwa ukuba ngifunde ukuthi abanye babo baye bahamba okuningi ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi.
Zingaki amazwe akhona? Kuncike kulolu hlu olusebenzisa. IZizwe Ezihlangene zinamalungu angu-193 (ngoNovemba 2016), kodwa inani lamazwe azimele emhlabeni onemizi-dolobha ngu-197. Uhlu lwabahambi abahamba ngezinyawo "izwe" labahambahambayo luhlanganisa ezinye izindawo ezingezona amazwe ahlukene, kodwa zingasuswa endaweni yezwe, ezombangazwe noma zikhishwe ethnologically ezweni lakubo.
Isibonelo, bobabili iHawaii ne-Alaska babalwa njengamazwe "ahlukene" ngezinhloso ze-TCC. Uhlu lwamanje lwe-TCC, olugcine lubuyekezwe ngoJanuwari 2016, luba ngu-325. Lapho iqenqemeni iqalile, kucatshangelwa okuningi mayelana nokuthi bekumele kube isikhathi esingakanani umuntu ehlala eqenjini lezwe noma esiqhingini ukuze afaneleke. Ekugcineni kunqunywe ukuthi ngisho nokuvakashelwa okuncane kakhulu (okufana nechweba lokubiza nge-cruise noma i-aireling refueling stop). Lo mthetho ngokuqinisekile ukhulisa ithuba labathandi be-cruise ukuze badonsa amazwe ngokushesha.
Ubulungu ku-TCC kuza emazingeni ahlukene. Labo abaye bahamba emazweni angama-100-149 bafanelekela ubulungu obuvamile, amazwe angu-150-199 ubulungu besiliva, amazwe angama-200-249, ubulungu begolide, 250-299 ubulungu be-platinum, futhi ngaphezu kuka-300 ngamalungu edayimane. Labo abaye bavakashela wonke amazwe ohlwini baluthole umklomelo okhethekile. Ngamangala lapho ngithola ukuthi amalungu amaningana e-TCC aye abe "emazweni angaphezu kuka-300". Ngingacabanga nje ngezinye zezindaba ezinhle okumelwe zizitshele! Amalungu eklabhu ahlela uhambo oluthile ngonyaka ngamunye kwezinye izindawo ezingavamile. Njengoba amazwe amaningi e-TCC ayiziqhingi, ezinye zalezi zihambo ziyahamba.
Angikwazi ukulinda ukuze ngidlule kulolu hlu ukuze ngibone ukuthi mangaki amazwe engangiwavakashele.
Ngangivame ukuphupha ngokuvakashela wonke amazwe angu-50, futhi ngiye ngafika ku-49 (ngisafuna iNyakatho Dakota, kodwa ngingabonakali ukuthi ngiye lapho emkhunjini wezokuhamba). Manje ngingahle ngiphuphe ukuhlola amazwe amaningi ohlwini lwe-TCC ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukuhlola uhlu, bengingaqiniseki ukuthi zingaki engizoziqeda kusukela kwezinye izindawo engizivakashele, njengeSan Blas Islands ephuma ePanama, angizange ngibale ngaphandle kohlu phambi kwami. Amanye amazwe (njenge-Italy) ngiye ngavakashela izikhathi eziningi; abanye ( njengeSwaziland ) ngachitha isikhathi esingaphansi kwehora. Ngagcizelela izinkumbulo eziningi ezimnandi zokuhlala ngesikhashana esidlule kanye nama-cruise njengoba ngifunda lolu hlu kusuka phezulu kuya phansi. Kwakuyinto edabukisayo ukubona ukuthi ngabe ngimncane kangakanani umhlaba engiwubonile, kodwa kunginika isizathu esihle sokuhamba ngaphezulu! (Isijobelelo: Manje ngisemazweni angu-127 TCC ngoNovemba 2016).
