This
essay will discuss both points of views and express my opinion about
this
.
Firstly
, I would like to add from myself, that both ways can use for learning cultures or traditions of countries.
Secondly
, Visiting any countries it's always new impressions. it's the opportunity to touch my own hands, communicate with local residents, and

country
, tradition, religion, origin different tribes. it wasn't enough for me, and I decided to go to that
country

country
, and a single available method is watching a special TV channel and reading different magazines and books. Here, human beings have a limited opportunity, but there is an enormous list of different TV programmes on channels or on the Internet, which can
