I was reading an article by Deepika Francios in the Marketing Magazine about the travel industryAmongst the things she said: '....Travel as we know today has become more of a habit than a pastime, with an industry that promotes travel as a necessity, a sort of medicine to combat the ills of modern life.'

> How true! Even if it's just merely causing the causeway to Johor or across the waters to Batam, I'm more than delighted to get out once in a while. Travel is definitely necessity for me. 2 weeks in Egypt, burnt lots of my leave...but I'm still itching to get out for a while.

On the travel programmes like Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and Samantha Brown's Passport to Great Weekends, she felt that 'For those who can't afford to travel, the channel would still offer them a taste of the better life, the richness of culture....'

> I'm a huge fan of travel programmes! I could imagine myself as Samantha Brown...haha. Now, I'm glued to the cable channel on Mondays, hooked to watching Long Way Down (Ewan McGregor & friend travelling from London to Capetown on their BMW bikes) Watching such programmes, makes me want to explore EVERYWHERE...THE WORLD!

And she went on to say '..growing threat of terrorism have added not just anxiety but a forced pressure to experience places and sights before they disappear.'

> I was considering India for next year, but last night's news about the Mumbai gunshot rampage, I crossed it out from my list. 100 people killed including a Japanese and Australian. Now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that one Singaporean is among the hostages. What's happening to the world?!

> Lena, my dearest friend, was supposed to fly to India today @ 6pm (for work). I knew which hotel she was going to stay at. When I read the article this morning on Mumbai's terrorist attacks, it gave me goosebumps. These gunmen held the hostages at the luxurious Oberoi Hotel. That's where Lena was supposed to be! Immediately SMS Lena if she's still going. Her reply....'So happy...at least 1 person care about me.' Sheesh....Thank goodness her company has cancelled all their events in India for now.

For now, travel bubble has to be burst. Back to studies....
