Actually I seldom go travelling because lack of money.Travel around the world is my dream.I notice that people tend to go shopping crazily in their travelling destinations.In my opinion,buying souvenirs and some famous local products are necessary when our have a travel to one place.But I think the meaning of travel is to learn the local culture and lifestyle to borden our horizen instead of just simply shopping.What's more,taking photo also an important activity in travelling,it can memorize the beautiful sightseeings.What's your opinion on travelling?~

I just love taking snaps of whatever new I come across. And in a new place, I take snaps of even silly things as when I see them later, it feels good to know those new lifestyles, ways and scenes.
And, obviously, I go shopping and buy as much as I can as it also makes me feel I have a collection from various parts of the world. happy

Hi~whizkid08~!
I intend to do many prepare for the coming travel before I start it.So I can have a clear plan for the coming travel.Once I come to a new place,I'm often eager to learn it history,because I'm very interested in one place's history.I think I can know one place much more well if I know its history,learn its culture and lifestyle.I like to learn and experience different culture and lifestyle.It's an attractive thing to me.

I take lots of photos when I travel to different countries. Then I can take and keep some special memories of the places that I have been to. I like to meet the local people and find out about their culture. It is interesting to visit museums to find out about their history. I prefer to stay in a locally owned guest house than an internationally owned hotel. I have to go shopping in order to get a costume doll for my collection. I like to buy gifts for my mother and my sister.

Hi~maximax8~!
It's so cool that you've been to different countries.I hope I can travel like you on one fine day.I think meet the local people and stay in a locally owned guest house is very interesting,it's a pretty experience.From the local people,travellers can learn history and many interesting things of the place.Also,musuems are derserving to visit.

when travelling the first thing in my mind is to go see what that place can offer. tourist spots, place to go swimming and whatever unique things that can only be found in that place. also picture taking will be part of it, serves as a remembrance of the place that i've been there. im going to go try some local foods too. the last time i went to travel i did not go shopping, but went sight seeing... shopping would be the last thing on my mind...


etomaggie (16)   ranked 1,830 out of 5,414 in travel  7 months ago

Hi~jayrene~!
I agree with your opinion.Shopping is necessary,but it's always the last thing on my mind when I'm on travelling.I like to visit the unique things and museums in that place,I'm interested in that place's history.I think if we have an better understanding of one place,we can know and learn that place very well.

I am not one that spends a lot of money in shops when I travel. I may buy something, but it is usually inexpensive.

I like to experience the culture an history, visit museums, eat at unique restaurants and sight see. I always take pictures.


etomaggie (16)   ranked 1,830 out of 5,414 in travel  7 months ago

It feel pretty good to experience the culture and history different from my own.

trying out what the locals are eating, as long as I can afford it. That said I can recall on a visit to Thailand a few years ago, being warned by the waitress to go easy on the chili-based stuff that the locals consume by the plateful, as I had not become accustomed to it. Shake of the head from me, try it! - pride comes before a fall!


etomaggie (16)   ranked 1,830 out of 5,414 in travel  7 months ago

Haha~You had an unforgettable experience in Thailand.I'm not accustomed to those chili-based stuff.

I love travelling and it is also one of my dreams to travel around the world one day. I think that travelling is a great way to experience a different culture and that is one of the things that I really enjoy about travelling. It is very interesting to me to see countries that are very different from my own, and I like sightseeing very much. I also like to take pictures, to eat the local food and to learn a bit if the local language. Shopping is nice, too, but it is not enough for me, I definately want to get to know the culture and the lifestyle.

I seldom travel, should I travel however to a new place, of course while on the way, I'll start to enjoy seeing beautiful sceneries, I passes by. I should know what's the place been famous of and have a visit or taste the food their known for. Buy their products and have these as souvenirs to friends and relatives.


etomaggie (16)   ranked 1,830 out of 5,414 in travel  7 months ago

I also like to taste the famous food in the place I visit.I eat profusely with a good appetite.Haha~~~~~~~~~~~~

I always focus on the malls and people around me when i travel, because i think i can learn something by looking at them and can find some new things in them and some time i also look in the sky.......thinking about me, and mostly i read the shops and malls names....i think it will help me in future in any way..


etomaggie (16)   ranked 1,830 out of 5,414 in travel  7 months ago

Reading the shops and malls names is an interesting thing,because they are different design and colorful.I was crazy about those distinctive design when I bump into them.
