| The intriguing topic of discussion at hand is whether visiting museums is the best way to learn about a country. Although the verdict may be out, in opinion, I believe there are several other better ways to learn about a country. In this essay I will present two reasons why I think museum is not the best choice. | To begin with, museums are often extremely expensive for foreigners. They have already used too much on plane tickets, so additional costs would apparently be a burden. Instead, other inexpensive ways to learn about a country exist such as eating traditional food. To take my friend as an illustration, he visited Korea for a vacation during summer. He considered Korea as an interesting place, therefore we decided to gain more information about Korean history together. We decided to eat traditional Korean food and learn the origins of it. After tasting the most renown Korean traditional food Bibibup, we were truly able to fathom the history of Korea as it demonstrated the poverty state of Korea long time ago. Plus, it costed no more than ten dollars for each meal. | In addition, information in museums are obscure and vague to those unfamiliar with the country. This is due to the fact that not enough information is provided to foreign people. Museums display traditions of a country with the premise that people posses basic background information. Thus, without a professional guide, it is impractical and useless to go. To take the friend i mentioned above as an illustration, he told me he paid a visit to a museum with his family. However, I was surprised to recognize his uncertainty about Korea's history after the visit. He complained that the information in the museum was too difficult to analyze from a foreign perspective. In the end, it was i who had to teach more about the history of Korea. | In conclusion, I have stated two reasons supporting my standpoint. Museums are often too expensive for people with a low budget as well as ambivalent to those new to the country. Although the jury may be out, as far as im concerned, i believe the two of my rationales are sufficiently convincing enough to support the majority of people who are also in favor of my claim. |
