If you’re given a choice between going on a trip to your dream destination and buying a new gadget, which would you choose, granting that both options have the same cost and are not really part of your needs? Well, for travel bugs like me, the first option would be an easy choice.

I remember when we had our training in Italy, and I bugged my co-workers to spend a day in Venice. I also used part of my finances during that training to travel to nearby Vienna instead of doing a lot of shopping like my companions did. I chose to visit as many new places as I could because the training was just about three weeks and considering the costly airfare needed to travel from Asia to Europe, I just had to grab the chance to travel to nearby destinations and maximize my stay as well.

Similarly for kids, it’s just like a choice between a trip to a theme park or a new high-tech gadget such as a game console or the latest mp3 player. Hmmm…I wonder how my nephew who’s fond of playing computer games would react to this if being asked to choose. :)
