When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I her.
Since I started to work for a company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the

Let's make use of information technology more , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
