Us and the Russians: realising our similarities!

Submitted by russianmind on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 21:00

‘Culture is the thing we only notice when it is different’. This is one of the reasons we love to travel – we love to see different places and to experience something of another culture. Journeying to and spending time in another country provides us with an escape and a fresh view on life, giving us an insight into things from another point of view. So when we travel abroad, whether we know it or not, we are in a constant mind-set of comparing things. We love to identify the differences between cultures and when we are in another country for any length of time, we can get to know the people, delve a little deeper and understand different culture’s mentality.
