Traveling: one of life's biggest pleasures. I mean, what's not to like about discovering new places and cultures, enjoying the scenery, the food, the people... the language? Ok, so sometimes communication might get in the way of finding that super cool store you once saw in a magazine. Or might get you the wrong plate at a restaurant... or even worst, might keep you from talking to that gorgeous local having coffee next to you.
I could go on, but I think you get what I'm saying. Learn the language!! Or better yet, LIVE THE LANGUAGE!! I just saw these four videos form EF (Education First) encouraging students to learn another language and travel around the world... OMG, they are so beautifully done, you're gonna want to jump on the next plane. The question is... where to?
Paris. You get croissants, cigarettes and spend your day at the café terrace. Yep, no guilt either.

London. Don't let the rain scare you away, there's always tea and biscuits and they call you "dear" and "darling" all the time.

Barcelona. There's tapas, the beach, tapas... oh, and more tapas.

Beijing. In case you're feeling a bit more adventurous and looking for something really different.
