What do you do on Vacations? Why do people on Vacations watch only TV and go pubs
    #19164101 - 11/20/13 09:20 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Why not experience the wildlife or go interact with the natives and learn about the culture and language instead of doing the exact same things you do in your homeland. It's so stupid :facepalm:. One of my friends said it's better there because there's lots of sun and hot chicks. My cousin only brought me to Spain just to go Irish pubs and talk with Irish people...we rarely ever talked with the Spanish.
I know this guy who goes to the Canary Islands just to go from pub to pub and watch football matches on TV and enjoy a bit of sun and get a farmer's tan. He doesn't even go beach or anything...nor eat exotic food, swim in pools or go restaurants.

Mostly because we gorge ourselves with food and it is tough to move around after.  And holidays are about homeland tradition, not other peoples traditions.

And what do you mean by interact with the natives?  I am pretty sure we murdered all of them in America, that is why we celebrate Thanksgiving..

By natives, I mean the native inhabitants of the land like pure blooded Spanish people in Spain etc. I go on holidays to experience something new and learn a bit about the culture and language there and their traditions and go hiking to explore and even speak a bit of the language so they'll invite me into their homes and let me fuck some sexy ass native chicks :smirk:.

Forgive me if I sound like an ignorant American but are you talking about traveling for the holidays like christmas and thanksgiving? Or are you talking about vacations in general? At any rate I think it depends on what you are normally used to. Personally I live in a rural area near the coast and I'm only an an hours drive from the beach. Im not saying I wouldn't like to visit the Mediterranean or Hawaii but if I wanted to truly escape my surroundings for a while I would be more likely to do that in a big city far from my home state. I think you have to be pretty rich and pretty bored to go to an island just to drink and tan though.

Sorry, I forgot Americans think differently. When I say holiday, I mean a vacation. Here in Europe, a holiday can mean both a vacation and a event

Maybe if you holiday in the States, you can gain a little more culture and know how we talk.

I believe the OP is referring to an American "vacation".  People vacation for a variety of reasons, and its not always to experience culture.

Not even to experience a bit of culture? What's the point of going on a vacation to Spain or Egypt if you only go there to do the exact same thing you do in America...clubbing etc. I like variety in my travels...I've never been to America...probably won't ever go there for obvious reasons. I remember in Spain, this macho English dude with a Liverpool accent was shouting at this Spainish guy to speak proper English, he was like, "I haven't a clue what you're saying, mate. Speak English!"

Generally, I agree with you.  If I'm traveling outside the country I do so to see and experience the culture.

However, its not always the case.  For example, I recently traveled abroad to an all inclusive resort.  The reason:  it was cheap, easy, and for the price, you can't find the same experience here.


--------------------
...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

Smith, P.  Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

Osmond, H.  Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

I'd rather date foreign women anyway. The chicks here are dumb and they fart too much. Plus too many fat people in America. Mexico may not be as nice or wealthy but we go there to party because it is boring where we live. That should tell you something.

Do people really do that? When i travel with my family we spend most of it admiring the architecture, natural landscape, or whatever is around there.

People my age do. When you don't have a family and you are single you have a lot of free time on your hands.

I do the exact same as you. I'm generally speaking about young people and even some eldery folks who don't take kindly to foreign people in their foreign country :lmafo: :facepalm3: DAMN FOREIGNERS!!
