Holidays
August 6, 2009
The smell of sea air, fresh donuts and arcades. Mentioning the phrase “British Holidays” will make any Brit’s eyes roll with such passionate disinterest that you may be knocked off your feet. However, that’s not the case for me; I quite enjoy the British holiday, and this year was no exception.
Sure, going abroad is nice but all most people do is get drunk and sun bathe. Fun. Unless you’re going to do something specific to the country you’re in, you may as well have stayed at home.
While the point of a holiday is to take a break from normal life and it’s stresses, I quite enjoy using my holiday as a chance to do stuff I don’t do at home, like swimming and going to the beach and playing on the sand.
Thankfully my life isn’t TOO stressful (despite college, my business and general life), but it’s nice to just get away and tune out for a bit. And that’s why even a British holiday can be a great holiday. There’s no point going to Spain and getting drunk and feeling miserable for two weeks when you can stay at home and just relax for two weeks. So that’s why I enjoy my British holiday, and why I think the dreaded “B” word (Britain, for the record) shouldn’t be frowne upon when thinking about a holiday. That’s just my two cents though.
