One Amazing Thing I've Done
I got a cultural shock when I crossed the border from Pakistan to India last year. Suddenly things seemed to be so western. I did not expect to get a "western-cultural-shock" in India and found out once again: It all depends on the angle of view.
My Interests
I love travelling and staying in different countries. It is just so much fun plus I think it is a key for a more peaceful world through a better understanding of different cultures and lifestyles. Being a stranger myself in foreign countries gives me a much better understanding of strangers in my country.
