You never realize how ignorant you are till you come to a new place and you meet people who know about your country down to its population, economics and culture and you know next to nothing about theirs. which is embarrassing. Every person i meet asks me the city i am from and I have barely any comments to make. Oh Slovakia.. werent u once part of Czechoslovakia!! is that what i say. Which begs the question.. are we as clueless as we make americans out to be. we are so absorbed with our own country, our own culture, languages that we dont bother to understand others. or Maybe its just that india is a known country.. perhaps more so than other countries. But i guess i am in a good place to learn. I can understand a little bit about these countries and how they work.
Yes, i am grateful for this opportunity.
