the last day of the journey, the episode or occurrence ends with after-vie that triggers
every attendees to come again for the next event.

buzz and speculation.
 Yesterday is history-Today is a gift-Tomorrow is a mystery: This translates to the
loyalty of fans who experience a journey with delight and surprises.
