to virtually travel all over the world without even leaving their houses. With the enternet humanity became able to learn more about other poples' lifestyle, learn their culture and traditions.
However

, from my point of view, it does not mean that the enternet relieved us of need to travel to meet new life-changing environment in foreign countries.
While

exploring new cultures virtually through computer is a great way of learning something new, a flight to another country for several days can affect a person more than several months of exploration via computer. Is is not something misterious but facts.
For instance
