I believe it is so important for us to look beyond our borders to understand how our neighbors live their day to day lives. Reality is a very subjective term, and until you truly enter into another culture, it is difficult to understand. By first speaking the language, talking to everyday people, forming relationships, and listening with an open mind you gain a global appreciation of our world.
