POPSSatisfaction Según un estudio de la Universidad de Cornell, la satisfacción al contratar unas vacaciones o comprar una bicicleta para usarla u otras experiencias similares es alta al principio y puede incluso crecer con el tiempo. Sin embargo, el subidón al comprar un televisor de 50 pulgadas o un coche nuevo decae rápidamente. Por qué son las experiencias más satisfactorias que los objetos? Al parecer por una cosa: es difícil compararlas con otras experiencias, son únicas y nos pertenecen.

POPSHo Chi Minh City Tour
One of the region's top attractions is the Cat Tien National Park, a 70,000-hectare Unesco-rated biosphere boasting a startling variety of flora and fauna. Visitors can go bird-watching, take to hiking trails, overnight in a crocodile swamp and look for signs of Vietnam's rarest wildlife. The Con Dao Islands, a 40-minute flight from the city, offer an equally attractive getaway, albeit of a tropical island flavour. A former prison colony under the French and US regimes, Con Dao today boasts largely undiscovered beaches, empty coastal roads and a healthy ecosystem complete with coral reefs and colonies of green sea turtles - one of Vietnam's best places to see them in the wild. Other fine beaches stretch just east of the gruff oilman's town of Vung Tau. Although lacking the popularity of Mui Ne and Nha Trang further up the coast, there are some sparkling gems here - particularly Long Hai and Ho Tram - for those seeking a quiet beach holiday far from the madding crowd.
