Those of us who work hard, like to play hard as well. We like to earn money, are good at it and then like to spend it and get good value for our green backs. A good way to spend and get value from hard earned money is to indulge yourself in a really great holiday, a place you’ve never gone to before, where you don’t know the language, the people, the food, a totally new and never before experience. It has the added advantage of being the place the Joneses wouldn’t ever think of going to, so you are sure you won’t bump into them. The Far East, places like Papua, New Guinea, Malaysia, Ko Samui, Taiwan, and Vietnam etc are great options. These are some of the new toppers on the tourist map of the world. These destinations offer varied tourist experiences. There are adventure tours, spa vacations, shopping binges, sight-seeing tours, wildlife tours, etc or you could just stop thinking so much and go for the usual touristy type of holiday – look around this new country, eat some local food, take in local sights, do some shopping and go home.
