I was reading the Escapade of a gay traveler by Joseph Itiel, a book which I bookmarked on my google books when I suddenly felt a pang of homesickness for the country I left behind 3 years ago.
I think it is nice to be a traveler or someone who lives in a different country. But it is just as good to know that you can always go back to those that you are familiar with when ever you want.
With the internet you can now take virtual tours of places around the world without leaving your home. Of course it wouldn’t be the same as being there physically yourself but good enough to have a feeling of being there for a short while.
I found a website that has a collection of panoramic view in 360 degree of cities all around the world. 360cities.net. Just search for the city you are looking for and voila! a list of panoramic pictures from the city will be listed.
My homesickness is satiated. Well, for a while at least.
