Today's communication and technologies make us feel our planet shrinking and we all are living in a tiny global village, but nothing can replace the first-hand experience to get the look and feel about different cultures, customs, landscape and seascape. if you are not there, can you imagine how you feel when you are sinking at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and gazing upward? How romantic Venice is? How majestic Niagara falls?
Ideally, you will stay at one place for a few months and move on to another, living and working there as a resident rather than as a tourist, because as a tourist, it will leave the confused memories of the places where your time goes too quickly and swiftly.
When you set foot on the strange, foreign land, your number one enemy is loneliness. That is up to you to overcome it. Sooner or later, you will get over it, making new friends, soaking up the view of astonishing strange land, getting yourself lost in the new culture, immersing yourself in your study and your work?
My dad once told me that when you are young, it is time for building up your memories by exploring the world! When you are old, you will be sitting in the garden and digging them up to remember.
