Being able to take a trip to a totally different culture is a gift. I appreciate being a guest in a foreign land. It makes the world seem smaller and I appreciate what unites us as fellow habitants of this planet. It is a gift to experience the kindness and patience of residents when we stumble with the language, directions, or the mass transit. We return the kindness any chance we can to those visiting the US.
