I find holidaying quite meaningless as I age...

[metanoia]

Do you?

Fly to a country, then very superficially see attractions, see the tip of iceberg of their local life, eat a bit of their local food, buy a bit of their local stuff, then take a few pictures here and there... Got meaning meh?

If really want to understand a country, must at least stay there for 90 to 180 days and really understand their way of life, mix with locals, etc etc. Then more meaningful.

All tourism does is touch and go mode. Like that must as well watch YouTube or TikTok. No need to waste time and money to do all these touch and go meaningless travel...

Just go and get a girl so cosy under the blanket with.

Of course that is a must to make the holidaying experience more fruitful.

It also helps me to understand my travel mate's way of life as I have to spend many days with her. Then I know how she behaves in reality, her thinking and decision making skills. It helps me to decide whether the person is good for a long term relationship after the holiday...

So did it worked?

I rate my travel mate only about 6/10... not that ideal after the experience of living together for a short time holidaying...

We won't have enough leave while we are working, and we won't likely have enough money to stay that long if we are retired.

If you want to really know a friend, travel with him/her. Their true colours (and yours) will show up sooner rather than later.

KNN, that is called Holiday Test-Drive.

People go holiday for bragging rights. The most important thing is FB and IG.

My experience of being married for almost 30 years is that couples change over time. My wife is no longer that girl I married and I am a different man from when we tied the knot in our 20s.

Very stupid lor. Its all about showing off to colleagues and friends that they can afford to travel. Shallow mindset.

My family travels to experience life in a different country. We live in a condo and travel in a car for comfort and convenience. There are many other reasons that have nothing to do with bragging rights.

The problem with most S'poreans is that we do not take the time to smell the roses when we travel. We tend to pack as many activities in as possible to maximise our trip in view of the cost of the air tickets and hotel.

Haolian has always been a low-vibrating trait. The satisfaction is derived neither from the beauty of the scenery nor the experience of a different culture. The source of all satisfaction is another person's envy.

For Sinkie Chinese who want to experience a different culture, book a hotel and stay a week at Race Course Road. But nobody will envy lor.​

I have never had the need to show my travel photos to my colleagues or friends. I just travel with my family because we enjoy being together during my children's school holidays. We only share our travel photos when others ask to see them, which doesn't happen very often. It is the same owing a car which is for my own comfort and convenience; it is not to be seen driving in.

Race course road is very peaceful except on Sunday afternoon. More peaceful than HDB estates outside city area.

It is difficult to find really quiet places in SG these days. My condo may be on a high floor, but I still hear vehicles passing by in the early hours of the morning. Imagine those residents who stay along the expressways with non-stop traffic daily.

You can bring your Acer there every Sunday. Can take photos at Mustafa and post on IG.
