Learning about other countries and cultures is really fun. Traveling to see them in person is even better! Throughout my years of traveling I have met so many kinds of people. Not to mention the different  food and fruits.

Sometimes it has been hard eating what the host is serving, considering that what they prepared we would consider dog-food! Fortunately, I think I should say, I  was too polite or too shy to refuse! Otherwise I wouldn’t have had all these fantastic experiences.  Although I have to admit that a few dishes I only tasted- once! Other times, I have been introduced to dishes that became favorites. Like when we were traveling around in Thailand. From all the food I tried, and it was a lot, one dish really stood out. It is something many people in the West love- green curry. Usually with chicken and those small egg-plants they use. It’s been on our menu for the past 15 years now.

The culture is both very different and so similar in the world. The normal way of dressing in the Caribbean, for example,  is not acceptable in the country-side of Ethiopia. But little boys in Africa play foot-ball the same way as children in Europe. Sometimes you are supposed to kiss everybody you meet on the cheeks, other times you don’t even shake hands.

Traveling to a country and living in it also brings you different perspectives. For the past twenty years I have lived in four different countries, which has brought me a real treasure of knowledge and experience. While living in Ethiopia we marveled at how some parts seemed to be stuck in time. Nothing has changed for the past one thousand years, or so. At least on the surface. Of course, with modern communication reaching everywhere, changes are bound to come. Even to Ethiopia!

Traveling is great, there is no doubt about it. Getting to know people everywhere is a wonderful experience. Most of the time we even learn something useful!
