Some people think that it is necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. Others say that books, films and the Internet can be used as a source of information about different cultures. Do you agree or disagree?

Although

travelling to other countries is thought by some to be mandatory for learning and culture, others believe that it might be discovered on the Internet. I completely disagree with the statement as reading and observing information can be misleading and do not provide immersing in customs. On one hand, information searched from

such

sources as films, articles, and blogs is checked and controlled by nobody.

This

means, that nobody can guarantee that what

people

read is correct and relevant, as well as not misleading and not outdated.

Therefore

,

people

are unable to learn utterly about other countries’ customs remotely.

For example

, it is frequently shown on the Internet that Ukrainians wear their national clothes,

however

, it is not simple truth and only some Ukrainian citizens wear vyshyvanka on the holidays.

On the other hand

, not only do tourists observe and learn traditions while being in a particular country, but they

also

plunge into them.

This

leads to the fact that travellers dive into the original customs, food, music and arts.

Moreover

, they try all new aspects

first

-hand and immerse themselves in a genuine country’s atmosphere. When my family and I,

for instance

, were in Cyprus and lived among indigenous

people

we had known extremely more about the food and everyday life of Cypriots due

soaking their vision inside. In conclusion, while some

people

can consider travelling excessive for understanding other cultures I am firmly convinced that only inside the country and living among local habitants a curios tourist can absorb all colours of foreign traditions.
