Three Types Of Holiday
Most of us loves time, when he or she can leave work or school and go to holiday. People frequently spend their holiday by sitting at home, by going to grandparents or going somewhere abroad. I am not an exception. During 19 years I have been living, I had many holidays. I had had all three kinds of holidays noted earlier. Every one of them looked different. Some were good, some were bad, but I will never hate holidays, because just in this time you can do everything that you want.
Many times, poor people who do not have money for paying a trip somewhere, if it is abroad or somewhere within their country, stay at home. They would often like to go somewhere, but they cannot. They do not earn enough money for their survival, let alone for vacation. Other people are staying home not because of money, but because of some other reasons. Some hate traveling and some like their homes so much that they could not leave it. There are many ways to spend your holidays at home. For example, you can watch TV or play computer games. It is also the time for your hobbies, for which you normally do not have any time. During “home vacation” you can do things and activities, which you have to do, but you always postpone them, because you always “do not have time”… There belong things and activities like cleaning the house, gardening, going to a dentist, etc. There are many kinds of things to do during vacation at home, but it has one disadvantage – it may be beautiful vacation just for a few times, because, in my opinion, for example, after two holidays at home you will know everything and one year later it can be boring.
You can spend your holidays not only at home, but also by visiting your grandparents. Grandparents are people, who like you very much, sometimes even more than your parents. Our summer holidays last two months, so for children it is a very long time to stay at home. Therefore, most frequently they are the people, who spend their holidays with their grandparents; however, sometimes there come their parents, too. Grandparents in Slovakia often live in villages. They breed many kinds of domestic animals, especially, cows, chickens, pigs and rabbits. Usually, children’s attention is concentrated on these animals, because nowadays children most often live in cities and they see domestic animals just occasionally.
Another kind of spending time with grandparents is helping them with their work, that is gardening, shopping or cleaning the house. In my opinion, this is the best way of spending free time, because you are satisfied, that you helped somebody and grandparents are glad, that they did not have to do everything just by themselves.
If you have money, after vacation at home and vacation with grandparents, you can try to go to vacation somewhere abroad. Although, it is the most expensive way to spend holidays, people like it, because many of us are “naturally globetrotters” and if we could we would like to know all parts of word. And why are the holidays abroad the most expensive ways? Because you have to pay for accommodation, food, transportation, and specifically, you are going there to experience something special and nowadays nothing is for free. In addition, costs are getting higher and higher. Many people spend their holidays nearby “salt water”, because Slovakia is an inland country; therefore, it is natural, that since we do not have any access to sea, we go there. Most popular places are Croatia, Bulgaria, Spain, Greece and Italy. On the other hand, not everybody wants to go to the beach and do sunbathing. Many of us love countryside like ours, and they prefer holidays on hills. They are going to Austria, Switzerland, Chile or Nepal. This kind of holiday has one big advantage – you never can know all “corners” of our Earth.
On the whole, holidays are the best way to relax ourselves from daily stereotype and it is just on our personal decision, where we would like to do this. For instance, my best friend and I we are our own personalities and it results that he and me have our own ideas, where to go for his perfect vacation. In my opinion, your best holidays can be at that time, when you change places, because stereotype in everything brings more boredom than feeling of freedom and convenience.
