I have fond memories of watching that 2006 world cup with a couple of friends!
I would have to say that my best vacation was on my 2nd visit to the United States back in 2008, I was 13 years old and that time i finally understood the difference between where i was living and the USA, i had so much fun walking around the streets, visiting malls and eating fast food that from that time on, i decided that i would eventually move into the United States.
Taking a vacation is always good, especially if you are starting to feel burnout.
