Malaysia Public Holidays 2020
|
Everyone of us have certain degree of wanderlust, the desire to travel and explore the world. Travelling is by no means an irksome experience in the modern ICT and AI world today. You can go freely to any places on Earth, be it beautiful popular destination (to name few, Salar de Uyuni, Moraine lake, Iguazu Falls, Antelope Canyon, Whitehaven beach ...) or charming towns of many countries, or remote areas which are thousands of miles away from home. You need not to worry about homesick or missing your dearest, the means of communication today are so advanced that you can keep constant touch with any people just with your smart phones. Many people also working while travelling, all they need is just a laptop or a tablet. The phrase “have gun - will travel" has been changed to “have gadget - will travel”. Besides that, you are no way a stranger in any country you go to, modern civilization has brought man nearer to man, no country is foreign to you. Travelling also is an education for a person. For the fact that it sharpens your understanding and improves your power of observation. It establishes social networking with people from all walks of life, thus, broadens your life perspective. The sights and scenes you came across adds splendour to your life. Dr. Johnson once said: "Travelling enlarges the mind, and an acquisition of dignity of character is derived from it. I have a particular enthusiasm with regard to visiting the Walls of China." Staying at home, isolating yourself to a small circle of life, you quickly turned out to be a “kampung" king, your self-made champion (you always become number one because there isn't any competitor). Go mixing around, a harmonious meeting with vast variety of minds in this world, so necessary and vital for peace in this modern world, all becomes possible when travelling abroad is a practicality for everybody. |
