Save Money for your Spring Break


Save Money for your Spring Break




Excuses to avoid a cultural trip during the spring break are numerous. Some excuses are traditional, for example, the world globalization; traditional places are boring, and the expensive long trips. Some people declare that because we are living in a globalized world there is no need for traveling. Some argue that the technology can take everyone to endless places using the computer as their way to travel. Yet the computer cannot express the feeling of walking on narrow street in an old city, the smell of fresh bread coming out of a bakery from a traditional family business, or the arts represented in parks, or public museums. Others complain that there is nothing interesting to do on a cultural trip. For example, they say old style cities it is not fun and there is old building everywhere. Young people who live in traditional places are combining old fashioned style and modernity, creating a cultural mix. People, who are thinking about spending their spring break visiting cultural traditional places, should not be afraid of the old nor the modern. The majority of college students mention monetary reasons for not making any cultural trips. A good student always makes plans ahead. Cultural trips can be bought in advance and with that one can save money. Also, accommodations for students have been offered around the world with many options. In the end, excuses are always there. Some students pretend they want to make a cultural trip, perhaps when they express this desire; they are giving an expression of being a person who cares about cultural knowledge. In reality, they just want to be on a cheap cruise, dancing half naked, and getting drunk until they lose their sense of self-pity. Having fun is always good, but it is important to have some cultural knowledge in the head because one day talking will be necessary after the hangover.

  3. I agree with you Ana because a computer it's a material object but cannot express emotions.
