Thoughts on Travelling

As a kid, it has been a dream of mine to travel the world. I want to visit famous monuments, meet the locals and learn about their culture. Being able to travel around makes me feel more in touch with God and His creations. Just by meeting different people of different races makes me realize the greatness of God. Just think about the billions of people living here on earth. No two persons are exactly alike in terms of personality and apperance. By visiting the monuments, I can see how God uses events to shape the world to what we are today. Nature itself is a reflection of God's creativity. No matter how many times we've seen sunrises and sunsets, we always appreciate its beauty whenever we see one. Everything actually around us is a testimony of His power and greatness.

I would have to say that my trip to Switzerland is one of the best I've ever had. I loved everything about it - the scenery, the climate, the architectures, the food, the fashion and the languages spoken. I won't go in depth in details of what we did there but basically we just toured around the different states of Switzerland.

We landed in Zurich but didn't have much time to look around. Geneva, Luzern, Lugano, Interlaken, Bern, Gruyere are the other states we've visited during our 6-day stay. We visited the Alps, their cities, lakes, famous monuments, churches, shops and museums. We ate their food and mingled with their people. The trip was truly a new experience. Europe is very different from Asian countries. They have a slow-paced lifestyle. Though one complain I have is that European people are not as friendly as Asian people. I find them a bit snub. I'm not saying all Europeans are like that (our driver is very friendly!) but based on my experience, most people are like that. Their standard of living there is very high so its hard to spend especially if you come from a third world country like the Philippines. hehe. Overall, the trip was good. I encourage you to visit Europe if you have the opportunity. I'll be one unforgettable experience! hehe. If not, you can just travel around the Philippines. I believe we have the best beaches in the world. We just lack development and promotion. Plus, It'll help our country! I've learned that almost 90+% of the money the Swiss gov't has comes from tourism. So, while you don't have the opportunity to travel around the world, travel the Philippines! =))
