Just about everyone has dreamned about distant horizons. Many people often wonder what the rest of the world is like. who wouldn't like to see the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon, or the grandeur of the snowy Swiss Alps?
Others may be fascinated by places full of reminders of ancient civilizations, such as pyramids of Egypt, the ruins of the Parthenon in Athens, or the almost endless catacombs in Rome. The past can come alive before your very eyes.
But the present is exciting too. You may have heard about the famed Paris with its Eiffel Tower and Champs Élysées, or Hong Kong with its colorful streets and shops. You could gaze at a koala bear in Australia, or have a plate of sukiyaki served by an almond-eyed kimono-clad lady in Japan.
Best of all, you could meet people and share the color, excitement, and sometimes the sadness, of those whose life-style may differ from yours. You can meet people from different backgrounds and cultures who share the same beliefs and interests that you cherish, and you may realize that it is a small world afterall.
