Activity 2 - "My Dream Holiday"
1. Imagine that you are given a virtual budget enough for you to go on the “Dream Holiday” visiting the country which you have always wanted to go to.
I would like to visit a lot of places! But as for a holiday, I would like to travel over to Maldives! I've seen a lot of travelling shows on TV. Most of them was introducing different places, their food, accommodations and a lot more! But Maldives drew most of my attention. Their sea views, their accommodations and entertainments makes me wanna fly there right away each time I look at the TV shows when they were filming at Maldives. I find that Maldives will be a nice and good chilling place where people get to really enjoy for holidays!
2. Search for multimedia websites (tourism / travel related ones) that magically showcase the places of your “Dream Holiday”.
This is a video I saw from Facebook, a friend of mine posted this up. And without hesitation, I played and watched it. This is a self record video by a Korean couple who went Maldives for a holiday! They were showing us how the accommodations looks like over there. The facilities in the room makes me go 'WOW' at the first look at it, and I bet after you have watched it, you would wish to go there for a holiday too!!
A picture of Maldives!!
Tell me who can resist the beautiful blue sea over there!?!?!
3. Evaluate the website/s and identify the most important criteria you used to get information about your “Dream Holiday”.
I saw reviews from Tripadvisor.com.sg, all the reviews came in with 5 stars full ratings!! All the reviews were given from people who went there and been there for holiday before, thus, I believed that the information given by them was reliable. There's also ratings for Value, Rooms, Location, Cleaniness, Sleep Quality and Service. All of them was more to the 5 stars ratings too! Besides that, there is options for us to check rates for the trip too! We just simply have to give us the date of travelling and the number of people going, and they will search for packages from 5 different travelling websites.
Activity 3 - Blog Reflections
Which evaluation criteria did you use to evaluate the multimedia websites for your “Dream Holiday”? Why?
I used 'Authority' to evaluate the mulitmedia websites for my 'Dream Holiday'. As in the web that I have found, tripadvisor.sg, written down others opinion and their experience for their holidays. Besides that, they also gave us a brief information and picture of how the particular looks like and is that place worth to go.
Why did you choose to go to your Dream Holiday destination.
Maldives is a beautiful place for diving, relaxing and have a real 'holiday'. After watching TV shows that introduce them, I started to look for more information about Maldives on the web. The pictures given was gorgeous! The sea was so blue.. which I would like to see it in real. And also, they gave me a 'peaceful' feeling which could allow me to really enjoy my holiday if I couls really travel there.
Compare your virtual Second Life experience with that of evaluating the multimedia websites for your Dream Holiday
I think that Second Life gave me a ‘fast’ view of how Maldives looks like. It will be fun if I could really step on the sandy island of Maldives my own.. J
