Big Hyun! Great post man. Glad to read of your experiences in Spain, they sound very interesting. I’ve been living in Barbados for nearly four years now. Of course, island living is amazing, and Barbados is super-rich in culture, history and cuisine. My biggest challenge here, and it was easy to handle, was the common culture curve. Just the little nuances of how locals here speak and behave vs. some of it being considered rude back home. But adapting here didn’t take long. Like the cliche says: when in Rome, do what the Romans do. I hang out with all locals so I learned my way pretty well without having to ask much, but rather simply observing the locals’ customs and ways, sort of like an anthropologist.
Awesome post. You could def write a book just on that topic. One of the most valuable things from living overseas/traveling has definitely been realizing that there are as many ways to do something as there are people in the world, and chances are none of them is better than the other.
