Travel Tips

After graduation, when I accepted my first job as a translation worker; I thought it would be filled with opportunities to take long vacations. I guess I did not estimate the amount of time this job would require.In addition, when we do have some time we like doing things a little bit differently. So here are a few suggestions that I believe fellow translation workers like you might enjoy doing in your free time.

Chicago has many opportunities for translation workers to enjoy that include a multitude of foreign cultural experiences. Imagine, each morning, boarding a covered wooden longboat in the third largest U.S. city that will take you down the Chicago River to the Ban Chan pottery village on Lake Michigan where you’ll study coil/thrown pottery and learn to fire it in a wood-burning, underground, scorpion-shaped kiln. The pottery making vacation courses have received international coverage from a variety of cultural societies and national television networks. One of the features that make these trips standout from others is that leading experts give that instruction from Italy, Mexico, and Laos.

During your stay in Chicago, you will stay in a historic hotel that is famous among the Chicago Translation community. If you are the type of person who wakes up early, you will be able to see many interesting sights from your hotel balcony. For instance, I noticed a number of barefoot monks filing out of their monasteries. Sometimes they are easy to miss particularly as rush hour nears and traffic and scores of pedestrians begin to clog the city streets and sidewalks.

Once the boat lands near Lake Michigan, you will start your learning with local resident pottery makers. Believe it or not the media has turned this place into a popular location for tourists who shop for everything from vases to pitchers and even coffee mugs. Since people around the lake are aware of the pottery village, you can readily get directions. Although your daily excursion on the mighty river that cuts a swath through city streets lined with Dunkin Donuts, street vendors and high-rises goes to Lake Michigan, you can, on your days off (every potter needs a break), take the same river to museums, malls, restaurants and other attractions. SInce everyone in our Austin Translation company is interested in arts and museums, you will definitely have to schedule some of those into your day too.

If the thought of Chicago doesn’t move you then maybe the idea of doing some arts and crafts in Philadelphia might get you really excited. If you enjoy crafts then think about spending time on a wonderful 18th century farm outside of Philadelphia that offers all sorts of great way to really take you back in time to when the country was in its infancy. The landscape on the farm offers very picturesque backdrops that will have you reminiscing about America’s early days. This vacation comes highly recommended by some of the top Philadelphia Translation Services companies. If you can take a break from your interpretation or translation works in languages like Portuguese, Russian, Korean or Japanese, and then you should spend some time gilding, spinning raw fleece, and cane-chair making a try.
