Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. they travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy  picturesque  places, or just for a  change of scene.  it is always interesting  to discover  new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms. those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and  art galleries,  looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants.  city-dwellers  usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun. most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them — the  sightsof a city, old churches and castles,  views  of mountains, lakes,  valleys, plains, waterfalls,  forests, different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds. later, perhaps years later, the photos will  remind  them of the happy time they once had. people travel by train, by plane, by boat, and by car. all ways  of  travelling have their  advantages  and  disadvantages.  and people choose one according to their plans and  destinations. if we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers and see pictures of them on tv. the best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes.
