Though I didn't face any culture shocks yet, I really know some culture shocks which are very common in other countries , but can be thought very rude in some foreigners' mind. For example, if one is burping on a feast, others might think that they are offended, but the Mongolian people think that it represents they are full and satisified of the food. It sounds interesting! In China, people often sit around a table for dinner, they like to talk about anything. Sometimes, it sounds a little bit noisy for others, but nobody cares about it. As for the men live in Scotland, kilts are very regular clothes, but it is very awkward for foreigners. I was once curious about what they wore under the kilts. So, the world is full of diversities which also form a interesting, fantastic and marvelous home. We need to treat each other like brothers, and don't always focus on their differences. So, if you face a big culture shock next time, just join them and enjoy it!

*I would choose to go back and live in Brazil again... What about you?

Discipline is absolutely something to me but I can see I am a fighter now. I try and give up, then try again and give up again for thousand times. Nevertherless, I don't ever think about giving up forever. I must say thanks to myself because I could see some progress on the way of striving. Being patient with myself is the only choice.

I haven’t really thought about this topic before, but I believe that chance and skill are the main reasons some people get promoted. Whether or not you have the opportunity to be promoted often depends on luck. Chance is shaped by factors like time and place. If you have a good opportunity now, it’s possible that you wouldn’t have had the same chance if you were in a different situation or time period. However, even if you do get the opportunity for promotion, you won’t succeed without the necessary skills. You have to be able to seize the opportunity when it comes. Taking advantage of opportunities is crucial not just for getting promoted, but in many areas of life. I want to be prepared for when a big opportunity comes my way.

Hi How

The weather is beautiful today. We got up early this morning because my dad found a udon bistro that was featured on his favorite food show. He was determined to try it. As expected, it was located in a labyrinth of narrow streets. We walked long distance to get there. The bistro was sixty years old, meaning the owner started to learn cooking noodles when he was a kid about my age and is still making udons as an old grandpa. The noodles were incredible, truly one-of-a-kind. This must be what udon ought to be like, the rest are all wrong! However, on the contrary to its food, it was the shabbiest eatery I've ever seen. Can you believe there was a manhole between the table where we ate and the counter? The tables and chairs were so old and worn-out that I couldn't even tell what color they were. While we were eating, a spider crawled onto my dad's back. Of course, he didn't mind it at all. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it, weirdo! Regardless, it was a unique and interesting experience for me.

What was it that helped you decide to go it alone? What were the pitfalls? What surprised you about it? Would you do it again? Let me know - I am a solo traveller again. I started back in the late 1980s by hitching a ride onto a ferry to find myself walking across France, hoping to pick grapes and to escape a depressing situation in my late teens in the UK. After a few months, I ended up in Switzerland building a hotel before Christmas arrived and I became homesick. But, for much of that solo journey, I had never been so alive, so close to the edge, so in tune with my instincts to survive to find a way to discover myself. Here I am, kids raised, all grown up and left home years ago; and once again I am travelling solo around Europe initially and now the UK (rediscovering the land of my birth after 20 years living mostly on the other side of the globe). And, now as a permanent nomad over these last 3.5 years, I think I have found the perfect lifestyle for me in my late 50s: Challenging and ever changing as I move every month or so to a new location in the city or more likely the countryside - and always my students travel with me - my glue keeping me focussed, on track - every day of the week for a few hours a day I seem normal - whatever that means.
