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.
