Want to try something new for your next trip? Push your family out of your comfortable home with these ideas for an adventure you can have together.

New Zealand

New Zealand's natural beauty and excellent fame for outdoor activities make it a popular tourist area for families. Finding a camper car to explore（探索）the country not only saves you money but also lets you travel freely on the open road and enjoy the fun of outdoor life without having to put a tent up each night.

South Africa

Seeing animals in the wild gets pretty high scores on the adventure for most people. South Africa's Kruger National Park is loved by children because they like watching animals at a small distance travelling round the southern part of the park. There are also family-friendly hotels with pools when everyone needs to cool off.

Southwestern Australia

Do your kids have their heads in the clouds?（想入非非）Treat them to a 600m-long walk in the Valley of the Giants. Or do they prefer to go underground? Check out the attractive caves in the Margaret River region. Go whale watching in Geographe Bay. Bike riding? Tree climbing? You've guessed it.

Japan

For robot-loving, game-playing, tech-happy teens, a trip to Japan is a dream that comes true. You can visit old temples and palaces. Pay a visit to one of the national parks or island beaches when everyone needs to relax. Before you know it, you've got a trip to please the adventurers in your family.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.

In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.

However, it wasn’t all good.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason

for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means giving in .

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
