What about a holiday?

Well, according to the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, a holiday is "in the English-speaking world, a day designated as having special significance for which individuals, a government, or a religious group have deemed that observation is warranted. Examples of types of holidays include:
-Official or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities

-A general leave of absence or vacation from a regular occupation for rest or recreation

-A specific trip or journey for the purposes of recreation or tourism."
 
However, holiday can mean a lot of things because it depends on the people. For me, for example, a holiday means to disconnect of everything, to relax oneself, to have magnificent views, to have good company, etc. It is a long time ago that I haven't enjoyed a good holiday. Now, we should enjoy not to study because there are our winter vacation! For me, it is the worse to have exams just after the vacation. So, we can't call this vacation, at least, for me it isn't. I am sick of so many exams and houseworks for just before the vacation! I haven't really enjoyed because I am all the time working or studying and I think I will never finish.
On the contrary, there are people who like to have another kind of vacation like, for example, in the space.
Space tourism is already here, but the problem is, it costs a spare $20 million to pay for a ticket to the International Space Station. People are crazy! How could they spend so much money? There are a lot of poor people who don't have anything to eat. It is so unfair that there are people who throw money in everything and others who don't have enough to buy a piece of bread. It seems that the final vacation frontier is the space for the richest people. Experts think that flights to a space hotel complex will begin by 2026, with under 100 manned flights per year, jumping to 1,000 flights a decade later, and 6,000 annually by 2050.  It is surprinsingly amazing! Can we ask for more? In the future, there will be people visiting the space or even living there.
In conclusion, no comment...
