The internet means people do not need to travel to foreign countries to understand how others live. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some community believe that with the internet, it is no longer necessary for the public to tour to understand foreign cultures. I completely disagree with
this
view because travelling is the only way for people
to make authentic, international friendships and taste local foods.
Firstly
, the public still needs to travel to other countries in order to make friends abroad and learn about their culture. When someone travels abroad, they normally make companion with language teachers, tour guides and friendly locals at hotels and bars. Many of these friendships result in invitations to weddings, parties and cultural festivals that are special to the folk who live there. For example
, when I went to Mexico, I became a buddy with a local university student who invited me to her cousin’s elaborate wedding in Mexico City. If I had not travelled to Mexico, I would not have learned about the “Torna Boda”, the exciting after-party that starts after many of the guests go home.
Secondly
, travelling abroad is also
necessary if people
want to taste local foods that are made by the community who live there. When people
go to other countries, eating local delicacies is often the best way to learn about the place. People
learn about uniquely grown vegetables and fruits and get an aftertaste of new seasonings and herbs. For example
, in Chile, many visitors can get an aroma of “pebre”, a unique appetizer that starts almost every meal in that country. If people
do not actually travel to this
country, they could never eat this
dish by an actual Chilean who has sourced local ingredients and cooked it expertly.
In conclusion, I completely disagree that people
no longer have to travel to learn about new cultures because they still need to make friends abroad and eat authentic meals in order to truly experience them.Submitted by tahmid.hassan on
