You learn a lot travelling around the world like I have done. One main thing that you learn is that in other countries they all have different cultures and different ideas of what a holiday should be and how to treat a tourist. For example in Russia I came across places which trained tourists how to fly a mig 31 fighter. I do not think there is anything wrong with learning to do this - in fact I could not resist posing for a picture in a plane myself to get some fly mig pictures. however, it was the way that it was marketed as a vacation that was odd to me. I would have thought a week at a flight training center would be like training course rather than a holiday and full of intensive learning rather than relaxation. Maybe we just cannot relax any more and we need to stir up our adrenaline while we are on holiday too.
