*********************************************************************************************The melting pot..
One thing I really like about living in the US is the fact that its truly a melting pot of cultures. In the past fortnight, I have met people from 4 different countries! None of which are my own! In my group exercize classes, I have sorta befriended (the word sounds totally weird :-D) 3 ladies, one from Costa Rica, one from Mexico and another from Peru. Yesterday we went to yet another of those sales that I was talking about and met a sweet family who are originally from Bulgaria! I haven't really socialized with any of these people (don't even have their phone numbers as such), but it feels nice to have that opportunity of having a peek into different cultures, different accents and different languages :). Its one of those things that makes me grateful to be living in another country, the experiences are really enriching...

Totally agree with you!! This is the best thing about living in another country!! It is really enriching the exchanges about our ways and theirs

Absolutely! It is really amazing how much we can learn by just knowing people from different countries, to actually meet someone from a country which was just a speck on the map until now.
In my case, I have had the same feeling about knowing people from different states in India too, only after coming to the US.
All in all, I would say it is a very enriching and humbling experience.
Wanna retort?
