Nature
is my Weakness
People
who often take a vacation from work are active and optimist in their life.
Because the human brain becomes tired and body may lose energy, every person
needs to rest and relax. For example, I need a vacation at least two or three
times a year. Despite that I live in the U.S, which is the most economically
developed country in the world, and I have a lot of opportunity to spend an
enjoyable vacation, I cannot relax or relieve stress as I want. Spending time
outdoors is my dream and it is my preferred method to relax and rejuvenate. I
like spend a few days on top of a mountain or on the mud resort, and I like go
to a picnic to a dark forest. Outdoor recreation can create a calming effect
and help to clear my mind. Unfortunately since I have moved to Chicago, I could
not find the vacation’s places near Chicago which are similar to vacation’s
place in Kyrgyzstan.
When I
lived in Kyrgyzstan, the place where I was born and raised, I usually spent my
vacation on top of the mountain. Kyrgyzstan is a land of mountains. When I
spent a few days or weeks on the high mountains in Kyrgyzstan, it helped me to
relieve stress and tiredness. Clear fresh water, fresh air and green grass of
mountains made pleasant pleasure for me. I cannot forget those feelings that I
felt when I was sleeping in nature at the night. It was like paradise. I want a
feel those feelings again, but I cannot find mountains near Chicago. The
mountains in Kyrgyzstan are not dangerous to visit. Most of the farmers are
there while weather is warm. Vacationers and travelers can also go to there,
where farmers live. Usually they build their tents or national houses to live.
I also used to go to there for a week or more. When I moved to Chicago, first I
looked for mountains, but I couldn’t see any. When I want to relax in the
mountains as in Kyrgyzstan, I usually go to Wisconsin Dells which is a small
mountain and located north of Chicago. Unfortunately, the Wisconsin Dells do
not look like Kyrgyzstan’s mountains. Because of Wisconsin Dells are not high
and there are no wild animals. In spite of there is no wild animal and safe,
employers and police do not allow people to sleep in tents at night. Moreover,
there are too many people and they don’t give me relax as I was in Kyrgyzstan.
Besides
relaxing in the mountains, I like to rest in a natural mud resort. I had been
to in Yssykata Resort many times in
Kyrgyzstan. Yssykata Resort is
helpful and beneficial to human health. When I spent time there, it helped me
to get away from noise and the polluted air of city, because the resort is
located far from city and quiet place. That kind of resort differs from resort in
the US. Of course, the US has many resorts and relaxing places, but they are
not located near Chicago. Most of them are near the ocean or in the mountains.
My husband and I were on Crescent Resort in Miami last summer. Crescent resorts
was not similar to Yssykata Resort.
The water in the swimming pool and Jacuzzi smelled a chlorine and a bromine.
Chlorine and bromine can kill bacteria in the water, yet they are not healthy.
Crescent Resort was located near the beach, where many people were relaxing. Yssykata Resort’s water was mineral and mud
was natural. They were inartificially going out from the land. I miss my
vacations which I spent on mountains and on Yssykata
Resort.
Moreover,
I also like to go to a picnic because nature is my weakness. When I was in Kyrgyzstan,
I had a picnics with my friend in Arlanbob
forest. It is a large wild walnut forest in the Kyrgyzstan. A picnic in Arslanbob forest helped me to forget
daily problems. Most of the forests, which are near Chicago, are not
comfortable to visit, because there is too much scattered dead branches of
tree. Also, government does not allow to have picnics there. We often go for a
picnic in the public parks in Chicago. When I go to picnic in Chicago, I cannot
picnic as in Kyrgyzstan. The public parks of Chicago are always too noisy
because they placed in the city. I don’t have any choice for go to a picnic in
other place, so I have to adapt public parks of Chicago.
In
conclusion, every person has daily life that will be repeat every day and they
want to do something different from daily life. Also, they needs to relax their
brain and relieve stress. The best method of relaxing is being outdoors. Fresh
air has a lot of advantages. It can remove negative thoughts. It can help
people be optimist in their life. For addition, nature is my weakness. I like
go to mountains, resorts, forests and parks. Since I moved to the US, I have not been able
to vacation as I wish. I could not find an ideal spot near Chicago which are
similar to places in Kyrgyzstan. Places, which is near Chicago, they are not calm
and peaceful for create a calming effect and help to clear my mind. Now I have
decided that I will find a place where I can have pleasurable rest.
The views are awesome, it makes me want to take a trip there:)
ReplyDeleteChristine, you can visit there, Kyrgyzstan is close to China.
DeleteReading your essay seems like the mountains in your country are more peaceful and higher than the one located in Wisconsin. Basically you used to sleep on the mountains. How could you feel relaxed sleeping in a mountain that have wild animals?
ReplyDeleteI was sleeping there in tent or national house. Of course, a sleeping in mountain is dangerous, but I chose place where farmers lived. That places are safe, because they have dogs which can help protect people from wild animals. People also have special guns.
DeleteReading this makes me want to go hiking:) I never thought that Kyrgyzstan is such a beautiful natural place. Go for a road trip to Yosemite, you will love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I try visit to Yosemite
DeleteI understand you, i feel stuck in chicago because it has no mountains!
