Publisher's Synopsis
To travel abroad is an enticing and intriguing opportunity, to experience the delight of beholding and directly perceiving some of the wonders of the world as ancient as the Pyramids in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Colosseum in Italy, or first-hand contemplating and even touching famous buildings as the Taj Mahal in India, the Tour Eiffel in France, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the Iguazu Falls at the border between Argentina and Brazil, or walking part of the Great Wall of China. It is a pleasant experience to see a film taking place at St Mark's Square in Venice, or Buckingham Palace in London, and to say to yourself something like, "I have been there". You feel lucky having been present in those places. Through this book readers increase their knowledge about different cultures, religions and traditions. What about practicing foreign languages in their native countries? It feels like being a citizen of the world! The travelers are also subject to be exposed to unforeseen circumstances that may spoil their joy, such as getting sick, or being pickpocketed. This book offers suggestions as far as getting prepared, or coping with inconveniences. This author has been traveling abroad for 63 years through countries having different political, economic and social systems. The narrative is based on the experience of an inborn professor, inspirational speaker getting his message across, and hard-working writer, whose main passion is to travel around the world.
