Traveling is fun, seeing new things and taking pictures. Memories for a lifetime. But, I have to say that living in a place for a few years is the experience.
That is really where you come to know the people, make friends and enjoy the life of a particular area for a while. Every place is so different, and yet everyplace is very much the same. It falls upon the basic needs of humanity, working, playing, and the day to day routines are very much the same all over the world.
It is really very small things that make us different. Things like religion, music, foods, and language create and separate humans of different areas on this planet. Remember it is only small things that make us all different, the basic needs of living make us all of the same family.
