Virtual Vacation

Perhaps you do not have the time or means (for now) to visit places you may be interested in, but you could consider the next best thing: a virtual vacation.
Here's the idea....

Plan a week in a location. Let's say India as an example.
For the entire week you can do things to virtually put you there. Of course nothing is like the real thing, but this can still be a good learning experience. To spend a week in India "virtually" you can do some of the following things.
-Buy a travel guide to India
-Learn some Hindi 
-Watch films or read books set in India
-Eat Indian cuisine
-Talk to friends from India or who have been there
-Watch Indian tv or film
-Study Indian culture, history, and religion
-Get on Google Earth and "visit" India
-Daydream that you are there

Of course none of this is as good as the real thing, but it can allow you to spend a week in a learning experience.
Happy travels.
