Does travel help to promote understanding and communication between countries? Travel has become easier and those countries that were hardly approached about 100 years ago, are now seen on social network as well. As threshold becomes lower for traveling, communication and interaction between different countries, cultures and races are more and more frequent. Therefore I think traveling could breakdown the wall and smooth the confliction between countries. People live in seperated areas would develop thoroughly different culture logics in what kind of virtue they emphasize, how they deal with crime, and how they survive from environment. These differences become the blasting fuse of confliction when first time they met each other, such as the Spanish met Azteca, the West met China, and the Mongol met the Arab. However, these misunderstanding could be erased if travelers live for a not-short time and internalize the custom and culture. There had been a girl grow up in a pack of wolves, and she was taken back to society when she was 11 year-old. She knows how to trace the prey, but she could not realize how to sit on a chair til 5 years later. This case remind me that people live on the planet are all the same, but they are divided into groups due to where they grow up. It's no doubt that we can not realize what other people think unless we live for enough time. Though travel could shorten the distance between two cultures, there still exist gaps in religion, benefit and custom. This probably means we can not cease confliction forever, but on the other hand, travel may be the first step to know each other, to mininalize the possible dispute and misunderstanding. ------------------- Is there any wrong I did not notice? Thanks!

What's the difference of "country", "nation" and "state" in definition? These words are fluently used in news and some of them seems to have the same meaning. Take a sentence in news about China's willing to quit “one-child policy” for example, "But the party still insists, unlike the government of any other nation, that it has the right to control people’s fertility." Could the "nation" in this sentence be replace by "country"?

１０月の日記 最近の天気が涼しく、でもたまに暑いときがありました。それに、スクーターに乗るとき薄いセーターを付けています。 この時期には病人が増えることがあって、医者と看護士にとって、忙しい季節のです。家へ帰る途中に、薑汁撞奶と焼き仙草と湯圓などいろいろなホットドリンクが売り始めることが見えできます。ホットドリンクの温かみで喜んでいるの人の笑い顔も見えった。そちらは秋の風景そうです。
