Wow!
Virtual Travel Around the World

• Are you planning a trip?
  With virtual travel via web cams, you can now see where you are going before even packing your bags.

• Can't travel now, but want to see the world?
  Then virtual travel is for you.

Most places around the world now have a web cam so you can see places far and wide.

So what's a web cam, anyway? A web cam is a small digital camera that someone usually volunteers to place in a strategic or picturesque location, then connects it to a computer and finally to the Internet...the World Wide Web. Some cameras take a shot and send it to the Internet every few minutes. Some cameras can be even controlled remotely by someone from their web browser. Someone like you! You can to zoom or move from side to side (pan shot) or up and down.

Once you arrive at your destination, you can surprise your business associates, family, and friends. Here's how I did it with a global web cam and an international cell phone.

At the Kotel - Western Wall in Jerusalem, a student and I were facing the Kotel cam. I had the student phone her mother in Los Angeles using her global cell phone. She had her mother go to the computer and surf over to the Kotel cam site. Her mother was then able to see her daughter on the Kotel cam while speaking to her over the international cell phone! Now that's a wow!

Have fun when you surf to one of the following international web cam sites.
