4) I say I am a Land Transport fan, showing interest in roads, cars, buses and trains. If possible, show them photos I have taken or videos I have taken. I also tell them about some of the things I do, like train spotting, train camping.

5) No. I am proud of it. Though people may mock at us, hate us or scold us.
