As translation workers, we all work long hours and simply do not have the time or resources to get away for a long vacation. 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.

My first suggestion is a journey to Chicago where you can engage in a wealth of educational and fun activities. Just visualize being awaken at dawn to journey down the Chicago River on a wooden boat and eventually reaching a small pottery community just north of the city and the beach of Lake Michigan. At this location, you will learn the skills required to make exceptional pottery from clay. Organized by Michal Westinghouse, an exhibiting studio artist from Canada who since 1996 has been leading ceramics-oriented travel excursions to Mexico, Turkey, Italy, and Thailand, this Laos excursion offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to study with indigenous potters from all over the world.

Once you land at the international airport, you will be escorted to a rustic hotel that is well known among top Chicago Translation companies. If you’re an early riser, you can catch scores of the saffron-robed, barefoot monks filing out of their monasteries, bearing gold-topped wooden alms bowls. 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.

Down by the lake, where you will be working with resident potters, is a popular stop for tourists, who come to watch pottery being made and to buy vases, flowerpots, figurines, and urns. Because this location is quite famous to the locals of Chicago, you can easily get directions from anyone. 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.

Some people don’t like Chicago and let’s face it gets really cold in the winter and the rest of the time the skies can seem really gray. Therefore, you might prefer a crafty holiday in Philadelphia. Many visitors to Pennsylvania never get past Pittsburg, but for a glimpse into Philadelphia ‘s world of old American farm life, a 18th-century farm outside Philadelphia, offers lessons in the very crafts that provided the picturesque backdrops for many American patriots. A weekend getaway of this nature is strongly encouraged by Philadelphia Translation employees. When it’s time to take off from your Japanese, Russian, German or Japanese documents then many translators like to focus on rural crafts such as gilding, spinning raw fleece, and cane-chair making that many lament have taken a big hit as family farms bite the proverbial dust and the bucolic American countryside gives way to development, roads, and airplane traffic.
