a world appart

So thinking about travels, I have come to realise the differences between areas. Some may be the smallest things that can go unoticed, but not all. Language barriers are one of the biggest differences between areas. With little or no understanding can pose a very large communication barrier, causing difficulties of all kinds. Atmosphere also can vary from one region to the next, making comfortability harder to come by. A good example of this is the pace of life in France. It is very different from that of Canada. Even the smaller differences can in turn add up, making ones experience different from that of another. The placement of keys on the computer is not the same as the ones in North America. The Q is where the A should be and the , is where the M should be... so confusing. I am also finding that Canadians are generally friendlier than the French, we will acknowledge a stranger while they will go unnoticed here. The first sight of a Canadian smile is no doubt one of the greatest experiences after not seeing a friendly maple-sirop-loving-poutine-eating-canadian. Without new experiences no one would ever be complete, it is what shapes us. Uniqueness is a great virtue that everyone should experience.
