Reality to Virtual Reality

Before my departure to Nantes, France I wanted to do as much research as possible about the coutnry and culture. As I search the web I found blogs about Nantes and even a blog about virtual world. This upcoming class will be about Virtual World and I am looking foward to finding out what it is. The blog that spoke about Nante's virutal world was made by a lady who once studied abroad there and wanted to continue her experience by inviting people who love Nante, lived in Nante or interested in Nante to join her "world."

Although, I think it's interesting I feel like it is better just to go to Nantes and live there if you really like tha city. I can understand though if you don't have the time or the money to travel to create worlds online parallel to a town you wish to visit. I do not know the extent to what virtual world is but I think it would be nice for me to visit Washington DC virtually once I leave this coutry just by a click on my mouse.

I also like to visit a new place via some sites or blogs. Writers give us many great information with photos.
However, I love real world than virtual world. I love to eat new foods and take pictures of new place. When I visit blogs about new place, I can get great information about that place, but I can not eat and take picture at all.
But, as you said, visit blogs is very good way of research before going to new places!
