| Ielts Essay - Foreign Trips How to Spend? |
Travelling overseas is an exciting, but it has been quite
often observed that people tend to spend time indoors confined to their rooms,
or at most the within the premises they are staying. This, as per some, is not
fruitful at all, while others find it useful and present their own arguments.
Spending exorbitant amount of money on travelling abroad would
be hardly of any use if the people decide stay indoors. Leaving the comfort of
the hotels and expending a bit of energy can give a chance to truly rejuvenate
in a completely unfamiliar environment. Even though negotiating alien
surroundings and bumping into unknown faces has certain level of unpredictability,
it is no less exciting to encounter something not a part of mundane routine.
Exposure to new surroundings and people triggers the explorer instincts and
often end up providing pleasant experiences.
Moreover, spending extensive time outdoors, while travelling
to an alien destination, also tends to provide an incomparable opportunity of experiencing
heterogeneous civilizations. This also gives visitors a chance to be
inquisitive; dig deep and discover different aspects of culture, language,
lifestyles, cuisine, etc., of the country being visited. This can surely help
getting rid of wrong notions about certain cultures and develop a broader
perspective.
However, some people tend to be thrifty nowadays and for
them the charm of going abroad is limited to reaching the hotel of an alien
city. They believe globalization has helped erode the charisma of exploring
foreign cities; similar clothing of inhabitants, buildings and shopping
complexes of modular designs; same kind of cars and a familiar traffic
conditions is not exciting.
To conclude, I believe, confining one-self indoors while
touring another country would be a waste of opportunity to escape the routine
and monotone.
