When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 36 me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, 37 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I 38 her.

Since I started to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 40 of many cities on my computer screen.
