How To Get Over Someone Real Fast

 Don't you just hate it how people around you keep telling you to just wait and that you will eventually get over the person you thought was the love of your life? I mean, why go through the seemingly endless period of pain? We humans love cures, something we can do to take away our troubles, and not just to sit around waiting for something to happen. For instance, when you're sick, you take medicine, not doing so seems like suicide in a lot of people's minds. So, guys and girls, you want to get over someone you got rejected by? Or someone that you had a painful relationship with only to find out it was never actually going to work out? Take a vacation!

 Traveling is a known cure for stress, but what most people don't seem to know, it's also a great way to forget someone. A vacation is probably the biggest change of routine you can do within a short period of time. The minute your plane lands in your destination you will immediately feel refreshed. All the problems you thought were important will stay back home where they belong, and when you do come back, these problems will all of a sudden seem worthless.

 In the first few days of your vacation you might feel a little down, because of all the plans you might have made to travel with your failed-love. That is why you should not stay in the hotel room, staring at the king size bed, feeling bad about it. If you're going to Bangkok, Thailand for instance, go out during the day, eat some street-food, check the streets out, and for those of you who like it: go shopping. Then, during the night, head out to the nightlife scene and party. Loud music, drinking (responsibly), and people are a perfect solution for getting over someone, ESPECIALLY when you add the fact that you're in a different country far away from home. So push yourself out of that hotel room, it's worth it! In fact, after your vacation you might even want to stay single forever!

 To make the above activities even better, grab one of your friends and plan a vacation out! The simple action of planning out a vacation with a close friend can mean a lot. Doing that will immediately give you a sense of change, of optimism and hope, and a feeling of exciting new things to come. Another positive thing about going with a friend is that, after you're back, you will always have someone to talk to about all the common adventures you two had in your vacation.

 So come on, whether it's stress or failed love that's bothering you, in the name of Gandass book a ticket now!

Top 5 Reasons to Visit Thailand Today

 For many of us a vacation can be our much needed solution to stress and depression. Such negatives can stem out of anything from recent break-ups to stress from work and/or education. A vacation can be the perfect getaway from everything back home, especially if you pick a nice, completely different destination... and that is exactly why I picked The Land of Smiles for this list!

  Thailand is basically another word for different. No other place in the world looks or feels like it, not even its neighbors like Malaysia and Singapore. Thailand also has something for everyone of us; if it's beaches you're looking for, look no further, Thailand boasts some of the best beaches we have on our planet! Even Hollywood knows that (see The Beach)! If it's culture and history you're looking for, Thai culture is arguably the most preserved culture of any other nation out there, reason being that Thailand was never actually colonized by any foreign power. If you're the naughty type and it's nightlife and partying that you're looking for, stop looking now, you've found it! Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket amongst other Thai destinations are known around the globe for the party paradise they are for those who love to bathe in loud music, dance, drink, and catch up with the fun they've been missing out on back home. Check out: the Full Moon Party at the islands of Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Samui.

Of course if you're like me and you want all of that, then Thailand is paradise on Earth.

Now, without further ado, the Top 5 Reasons to Visit Thailand Today:
(in no particular order) 

  • Thailand is a tropical country, with dense jungle and ideal weather, this makes it a perfect destination for those adventure lovers amongst us.

  • Food. Thai food is known for its distinctive taste and has gathered lots of fans all around the planet. If you liked Thai food in a restaurant in your country, wait till you try it in Thailand! A simple Bangkok street vendor's food is usually better than the best Thai food in your area.
  • Nightlife. The nightlife scene in Thailand is both unique and a great way to end the day. You get everything from street and beach side bars to top class Bangkok clubs such as Narz at Sukhumvit Soi 23, Bangkok.

  •  Culture and history. If you're interested in witnessing an ancient culture that survived unscathed till this very day, Thailand could be the place you're looking for! Thailand has never before been colonized by a foreign power, unlike most, if not all, countries around it.

 By now, you're probably asking yourself how much such a perfect vacation would cost you? Well, Thailand is a very budget-friendly destination. For instance, a Singha Beer at 7/11 would cost you around 20 Bahts (2 AED, or less than US$1). At a venue the price goes up to 40-150 Bahts depending on the restaurant, bar, or club. A stay at a budget hotel would cost from 350 Bahts (35 AED, US$11) to 1200 Bahts (120 AED, US$37.6) depending on the season and hotel.

 Other reasons to visit this wonderful country are too many to fit into one article, so stay tuned for more on The Land of Smiles!
