__ Going solo __ The most obvious high about travelling alone are smaller expenses. Of course if you’re travelling with a friend you might not have to pay for all of his or her expenses, but alone the hotel rooms might still be more affordable. While travelling alone you can also decide what to do for yourself: nobody is going to tell you that the museum or other sightseeing spot you are heading to is boring or not worth it. Leaving early and moving around also gets easier if you don’t have to constantly wait for someone. On the other hand if you share similar interests with the person you’re travelling with these kinds of problems could be completely evaded. One of the cons of travelling alone could be loneliness. Especially if you aren’t the kind of guy that makes friends easily it might be nice to have someone to talk to. Travelling with someone else also makes you feel more safe while roaming around your destination, even though you should usually be safe if you don’t go walking by yourself at night. Still if you can make friends easily travelling alone allows you to get to know people from different countries and cultures that you would probably have never met otherwise.

**WHAT’S ON?**

Nowadays television plays an important role in one's life. Besides being the source of information, it provides endless entertainment.

At first, the TV brings us news from all over the world. Political happenings, festivals, social events, people and almost everything from all parts of the world comes to us through the TV. We just do not have to spend a big sum of money to go overseas to get the news.

Furthermore, TV can be considered as a path for the students to improve their knowledge. For housewives or elderly people who stay at home most of the time, the television can be like a friend. Children are also not left out. There are many programs planned for children like cartoons, animal adventures, quizzes and explorations.

But as always, there are two sides of the coin. We must not forget that there are also many disadvantages of watching TV. Lately, social problems involving teenagers are becoming wide spread. It's too easy to turn it on, sit down with a bag of chips and watch it for hours. This will also give bad effect to health.

In a nutshell, television is a necessity in a developing country to educate the masses. Though it can give us many positives things like news, entertainment and knowledge, unfortunately it can also be dangerous.
