I always thought it would be cool to be one of those people that traveled all the time. Realistically though, that costs a lot of money, time, and ambition. When you think about it though, don't you want to see more than just where you've always been?
It would be so interesting to be able to see how other people live their everyday lives. How in other areas they can wear shorts and a t-shirt year round, and in others a heavy jacket is the minimum for being outdoors. Some areas are more strict with how you act, and others not. Complaining about the traffic in my area would be a ridiculous thing to do for someone who grew up in a much bigger city.
In other countries, their basic culture ideas are completely different compared to the ones in ours. The things people do all the time in our country might be the weirdest thing ever to someone who lives somewhere else. The food in other countries are so different than ours, too. Eating out to an authentic ethnic restaurant doesn't mean you know what their food tastes like, you just know America's version of it.
I
had a swim coach last year that came here from Australia, and she said
that she sees kangaroos there like we see squirrels here. To us,
kangaroos are such a crazy though, but to them they are just another
animal around them all the time, maybe even annoying to a few.
If you had unlimited time and money what would you do? Go see how others see things, and understand a million more perspectives than what you do now. Spend a month in a different place spending your time exactly how they do; dress as they do, eat as they do, act as they do.(304)
