One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My research for the studies on cultural anthropology has been an unforgettable experience. For five months I lived in a 'long neck' village in Thailand (famous tourist attraction). Becoming part of their society; understanding the local politics; learning about the opinions, values, motivations, and life stories of the villagers has been an amazing experience.
