Things I learn from traveling

- It's never too much.
- You discover things about yourself you didn't know.
- You discover things about other people you don't want to know.
- You also discover things about other people you would not know until you travel with them.
- You learn / are forced to learn the art of bargaining.
- You experience discomfort you don't expect at home, but you do that anyways.
- You learn to wake up early.
- You learn to be a bit more generous.
- You exercise.
- You finally learn how to pass your idle time meaningfully (or not?)
- You learn to appreciate your life.
- No matter how much you read up and travel in a country, you'll never know the real country. It's a myth.

I always knew, to know the real someone, travel or live with them. It's very very true.

Learned that :
* You always end up sitting next to some huge man who snorts or kids who keep climbing over you on the plane.
* The cup of icecream they give you is always hard enough to punch through walls.
* The only stationary bike in the hotel gym is used by a guy who's just reading his newspaper.
* Your office is the only one place in the entire country that the taxi driver doesn't know how to get to.
* You actually have a liking for "Thunder Tea Rice".
