I love meeting new people, seeing new things, trying new things and all that you learn about your new surroundings, who you are and where you came fromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403420927496531946.post-16663281229593889162009-07-18T03:08:37.529+02:002009-07-18T03:08:37.529+02:00I love traveling to new places because I love lear...I love traveling to new places because I love learning about how people around the world view life and living differently. I was lucky to live abroad in Africa for 2 years, and I was amazed how they view time, death, relationships, etc. It made me realize there are so many ways of approaching life and enjoying it.Mary and Seanhttp://www.maryandseansadventuresabroad.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403420927496531946.post-13535355470521850672009-06-26T11:41:16.913+02:002009-06-26T11:41:16.913+02:00The most important thing I learned when I was fres...The most important thing I learned when I was fresh off the plane for the first time in Europe, just 18 years old and with a heavy backpack on my back, sweating under the weight and walking around lost for 2 and a half hours in Vienna:<br /><br />HOLD THE MAP THE RIGHT WAY UP.<br /><br />That's my best pearl of wisdom for ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403420927496531946.post-45370057189560704432009-06-22T14:17:08.581+02:002009-06-22T14:17:08.581+02:00Hi Angela, you have material for 5 or more posts h...Hi Angela, you have material for 5 or more posts here! Absolutely, I agree with you that traveling makes you change your view of the world. You become more patient, you discover other sides of life, you learn more about people. I got very surprised with people's reactions since I live in the Netherlands. For example, yesterday during a birthday party the "jarig" (a boy of 8 years old) stated how much he disliked his present - smiling! Then his mother said the same and the boy's father too. Everybody found it so natural, to be sincere about the useless of a certain gift - even if it was something expensive. I didn't get shocked anymore for this Dutch behaviour. But of course I tell my children about never reacting this way (about a gift).Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565051295371049516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403420927496531946.post-60014498248871580012009-06-21T22:22:42.636+02:002009-06-21T22:22:42.636+02:00Do you remember when we were stuck at Heathrow for...Do you remember when we were stuck at Heathrow for 8 hours after a 12 hr flight with no sleep and wasted 30 pounds on a sandwich? That also thought me a lesson on frustration.Matsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403420927496531946.post-67113781543785001532009-06-18T17:57:41.549+02:002009-06-18T17:57:41.549+02:007 hours waiting for your flight is impressive. .
