Internationals

I have never met so many internationals in a single month in my entire life. Cambridge is unique in that aspect – a university town, made up of mostly students, and their families, or teachers, and those who work are in one way or the other related to uni affairs like admin, or serving the community like the markets and shops.

In just 2 playgroups that I go to each week, I have met Belgians, Germans, Mainland Chinese, Koreans (lots of them), Africans, Japanese, Turkish, Chileans, Irish, Iranians, Indians, Scottish, Italians, French and of course, the English. Wow, just how many nationalities are there? And these are the ones I’ve spoken to, quite a bit, know them by names and some, even dined at the table at least once.

Makes you realize how small the world is. If we really take the time and effort, we can learn from one another the diverse cultures and historical backgrounds, there is a lot to talk about. I’m so looking forward to it, should I start a travel log then?
