This is dedicated to all those who have friends so far away from home, particularly all those who have someone in another country, either Europe or Asia, Africa or Oceania and so on.
We live in such different countries. We have different cultures, different ways of living and behaving. We think the world so differently from each other. Moreover, some of them go so far as to discriminate. But this post will not be about that. This is about the importance of meeting people the world over. You see their point of view about life, behaviour and what is most important: Their language and how it changes the way they speak and think.
It is so incredible to sit for a while and to listen to the way they speak, the way they move their hands or even the way they look at you. You wonder why everyone in each country has a different way to do it.
I would not like to generalize and there are people AND people, but for instance Italian people, when they pick up the phone and they realize it is you, they go flipping crazy and they shout in that particular Italian way and it makes someone so happy.
Most of the British people, when there's a problem they face it so quietly and they always try to find a solution without getting nuts. Very, very diplomatic people.
Or even Russian people, they hardly smile, don't they? But they respect you quite a lot and the way you think.
Of course you will find good and bad people around the world, as I said before there are people and people and you can even argue with them.
But the point is: You have to take the best of them. Don't just stay with the way people from your country think and behave. Go out, visit new places, meet new cultures. Open your mind.
Diversity is what makes us unique.
