This year I have successively visited several countries and seen a little bit of the world.
It's not a shocking eye-opening experience, but rather very specific feelings of differences: the pace of cities, the distance between people, attitudes towards time and rules. Many judgments before were based only on screens and imagination; only after actually going out did I realize that the world is quieter than I imagined and also more complex.
The more I see, the less likely I am to draw easy conclusions. Some places may not necessarily be better, but their ways of operation are different; some issues are not about right or wrong, but about choices. This little bit of insight may not change my life, but at least it makes me less eager to take sides on many things.
