Why do people need to travel ?
When every place on earth more or less looks the same with buildings, trees, hills, water and animals (and ofcourse crowds),
why is it that people feel the need to travel and go sightseeing ?
Much like all questions involving human beings, this one too is complicated.
The traveller brigade would stick to their logic that you expand your mental horizon, you learn new things, meet new people and learn about different cultures. Not to forget that you get to taste different cuisine and also get a small halo to show off to your friends.
The anti-travelling crowd ofcourse roll out all the mature phrases - "all places are the same", "you've seen one, you've seen them all", "buy some useful rather than wasting money on tickets and hotels".
After making all the trips very enthusiastically, I've good memories (digital :-) ) and pictures of all of them.
But not sure if I've really added anything useful to my head.
I now know that Scotch has to be tasted on the rocks at the tip of your tongue along with scottish shortbread,
that the D-Day landings happened in Ouistreham,
that there are more than 500 varities of beer in Belgium and why Holland is called Netherlands.
So ?
Inviting your comments. (Unless ofcourse you get into another loop - "What will I achieve if I comment on this ?" )
PS: I will post all Europe pictures and actually start writing about each trip soon er, tomorrow.. During weekend actually.
