Lee stresses that even though digitized information is now almost universally available, travel remains invaluable because personal experience has "authenticity." It isn't just a matter of seeing things at first hand, but rather of being wholly immersed in a place and time with all our senses in play, pricked by stimuli made especially piercing by their unfamiliarity.
他強調，即使在數位化資訊隨處可擷取的今天，旅行依舊有著無法取代的價值，那就是親身體驗的「真確性」(authenticity)，它不僅是眼見為憑，更代表著「全身感官此時此地在這裡」，全心全意地接收各種因為陌生而顯得特別尖刻有力的刺激。
