It is true that we are all brothers in the human race. We are all hurt, we feel happiness, we wish for peace, we wonder about the end of life, and we share the planet. But what happens when two worlds collide? Everyone can share one planet but many times we come from different worlds! A man who grew up in Iraq is viewed very differently than a man who was raised in New Zealand. A woman from the United States sees her husband differently than an Argentine woman So what happens when a person or even a family wants to go to another culture? Whether temporary or permanent, adjustments will need to be made.
If you go to Turkey and plan to stay in five stars, you will immediately find that arriving at the standard of five stars is very different than States. If you go to Mexico, everything moves much slower. If you are in Africa, you will have to watch much more carefully because of the weakness of eating or drinking. What he did not say is that the US is perfect, of course there are flocks and medicine and many other things. However, there is a story about when an American citizen approaches another culture and how to adapt.
We must adapt our expectations to a different culture of learning. Of course, being very convenient for many people. For others travel is more about adventure. A consultation should be done before you are. You must decide if comfort is what you want, or if you want adventure. They often do not mix.
When you go, please don’t think that you are better than the people because you came from the States. It’s serious and the people really deserve it. I like to think that we are no better; that we differ. This is true, a Latin American man cannot look at his watch every five minutes to make sure it isn’t. nothing slow, but more relaxed than the one who does it. This cannot be done as much as we want it to be done, but that is only because of the difference of cultures. one is not better than the other. People have different values. They may value time and wealth, while they value friendship and relationships.
Once in another, keep the culture. If we can understand that one culture is not better than another because of different values, we can adapt to any culture. Another part of culture and having an open mind can teach us wonderful things. It can open our eyes to many things that we never learn within ourselves.
I highly recommend again and vacation in other parts of the world. It is a wonderful experience and with the right attitude it can be life changing. So go ahead and try it, go with an open mind and an open heart and there will be priceless treasures to find.
