How mesmerizing, new worlds of food and dance, stories and history. To engulf yourself so fully into something unknown and coming out greater for it. My wanderlust begs for new soil, new people.
Culture is the inside jokes of thousands of generations until nobody remembers what started it and nobody remembers to explain it to outsiders. It is the way you point, whether with your fingers or your lips, the way you wait in line for the bathroom, the way you spend money and the way you save it, the time you show up to the party and the time they invite you.
The culture in Laos was different from the US. In Laos, the children respected their parents and listened to their advice, even to the extent of agreeing to marry someone that they didn’t particularly like. And on that day, she dressed in traditional dress and sat on the floor with her elders, across the sea of gifts brought by her husband’s family. Then he entered and she caught her breath.
