guide42··on I Hate Traveling
Traveling as tourist sucks, you go in “tours” looking everything from outside, expecting the end of it. But what can you do when you only have limited holidays for vacation, your little time free from work (which is your main activity.) Off-course you are not traveling like as nomad people do, it is leisure for you. Tourism is a big economic chunk, the places you are going are counting on your money (that you got by working.) You are spending it for everything. Moving from one place to another, riding some transport machinery that your own body can assimilate as fast, staying for less time that would take you to walk there and quickly moving back. A glimpse of time spend, the fading memory. Experience something different from home, so similar to make sense and respond to the surroundings as you normally would. Partly because you are not giving up you life, your comfort, for such moment. At the end is your break time, when you rest from the exigencies of your routine.

> This question has a very long history of being studied by physicists on weekends.

How much of science is done on weekends? I feel that investigations without capital investment is done in a hobby-type schedule. Probably these discovers (if any) might don't change our reality immediately, but are not worth the investment?
