Most people long for a holiday, particularly those who live in such fast-paced cosmopolitan cites like us. Our daily working lives have exhausted us, mentally and physically, and going on holiday is the best way to re-energize ourselves again. By dreaming about a holiday, this may motivate us to work even harder every day.
I used to take long vacations during the Lunar New Year and travel to a new country. By getting in touch with people from different nations and learning how they went about with their daily lives, each trip was a unique travel experience that gave me huge inspiration. The world is such a big place that our visionary horizon should not be limited. What I learned the most from traveling was the sprit of freedom and risk-taking that I could not have learned from attending school.
Traveling does not always have to mean you need to go somewhere far away, or somewhere you have never been before. Familiar destinations or places close-by are just as valid as traveling to far away locations. Being able to re-visit places means the opportunity to get to know a place better and discover things you might have missed on a previous trip.
During Lunar New Year, I has chosen to discover the new face of Japan. The city is a testament to people who have great vision, as Japan has been re-branded as one of Asia's hottest destinations. Discover Japan through all your senses: sight, taste, smell, sounds and feelings of Japanese.
No matter whether your holiday is short or long, the most important thing is to enjoy each and every minute of it, even if it is only one day. If you wanted to do something, but ran out of time, there's always your next vacation to look forward to!
