I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed the article:)<br /><br />I wouldn't discount your own travel experience within the States -- it's only a mere technicality that you haven't left the country, but you've certainly had to deal with your share of culture. Moving from east coast to west coast after college (not only becoming acclimated but also indigenous) has it's own merit that I can not yet claim. Well, besides the transition from country-girl to city-girl after college, myself, too.<br /><br />I think your transition/life experience reveals that your own 'culture shock,' when you do go international, will not be nearly as severe as mine. <br /><br />Do you have any inklings as to where you might want to go internationally?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949626558367208065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619556360520941426.post-35863166528388336672011-01-21T23:35:36.789-05:002011-01-21T23:35:36.789-05:00Amazing post and experience Stephie! Great advice,...Amazing post and experience Stephie! Great advice, "I've applied this principal to various areas of my life in the States since my trip. When I interact with people of different upbringings, generations or regions of the country, I find myself able to recognize our differences as simply different instead of wrong. It saves a lot of headaches and conflicts."<br /><br />That is SO TRUE and I wish more people would do that. Unfortunetly, I have never had an aboard experience, but I learned that when I went from living the city life to living the country life and had to deal with the harsh reality of distance does matter for some people.Mel DePaolihttp://www.meldepaoli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619556360520941426.post-66552917760280905892010-08-15T21:21:18.563-04:002010-08-15T21:21:18.563-04:00What an epic post!
