INTRODUCTION
Hook:
Traveling nowadays is becoming more and more popular all over the world. Background information: Most people, especially the youth, like travelling. However, not many people know the benefits of travelling. Some people say that their mind and knowledge are much more opened than what they have imagined through reading books, magazines or newspapers. Saint Augustine said “A world is a book, and who do not travel only read one page.” (Wikipedia entry on Augustine of Hippo). In my opinion, travel around the world is considered as a means of education. Thesis statement: In this paper, I would like to present four proofs of travel as a means of education: travel is a document, it improves languages skill, travel is the real life practical and it brings appreciation.

Firstly, while traveling, you will be able to interact with different people to get to know about their countries and people. Certainly, you can accumulate the information as a valuable living source for your own. According to Aldous Huxley “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about the other countries”, you will have chances to discover different cultures around the world. In western, married couples or lovers can kiss each other in public, while in some countries in eastern, “it is not acceptable” ( Aradmin. (2012, August 29th). Cultural differences).

In the novel “Fallen Angels” you can tell that the soldiers were very timid with what they said in their letters that were sent back home. Most letters sent back home were about the little things that brought them joy like playing games with kids. Not many actually said they went into battle or fought in a bullet parade. They would ask them what it's really like over there because they could see what was happening on TV, but media blocked a lot of reality from the war and the graphic effects.

Like stated by Lynne Phillips, “...migrant laborers, refugees and resettled populations, immigrants, students, business consultants, nutritionists, agronomists, tourists, and other travelers all play a role in the reproduction and expansion of ideas about food and food systems…” (45).

In the victory people are tempted to rip down flags and steal the remaining useful supplies, but the Vietnamese wouldn’t let them get valuables that easily.

Much like the Narrator, his parents were born in North Vietnam and immigrated to the south in 1958. This was because catholic priests convinced them that the Viet Cong would commit atrocities when they took over. When the communist reach spread to the south, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s mother fled alongside him and his brother, leaving his father and sister behind in Saigon.

There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need.
