As an interpreter for a major translations company, I always thought that I would be doing a lot of international travel. I now see that we simply don't have that much time.In addition, when we do have some time we like doing things a little bit differently. As a result, I wrote this paper to discuss some vacation ideas that translation workers might like to go on.

The first recommendation that I would like to provide is a trip to Chicago. The city of Chicago has many cultural opportunities to enjoy. 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. 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.

During your stay in Chicago, you will stay in a historic hotel that is famous among the Chicago Translation Services 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. They will be somewhat camouflaged by skyscrapers, heavy traffic and dense crowds of people on their way to work.

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. Just like in regular school, this one has its holiday breaks too and when those come you can always find something fun to occupy your time like going to a large mall, attending a festival, going to a flea market, checking out lot of eclectic shops and just walking around and looking at the architecture. Since Austin Translation workers like myself enjoy all of the cultural we can squeeze into our lives, we can definitely find some of those too.

There are some translators who just can see having a quality vacation in Chicago for a number of reasons and as a result, would prefer to go to 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. The experiences gained here are all highly recommended by Philadelphia Translation workers. 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.
