Pretty much the same as yours. Many Americans view non western countries as inferior and subhuman for whatever reason (look at trumps “shithole” comment) and it’s refreshing to travel to different countries and realize that It’s the contrary. I’ve visited korea, Hong Kong, turkey, and Argentina and all have been great experiences. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that we are all humans and share universal feelings and behaviors.

Completely agree with you! People in most countries are friendly in my experience, if you try to talk to them. I found the folk in Jerusalem, away from the tourist areas, very friendly, while Lisbon was friendly all over. Italians are brilliant, French not bad - Germans were OK as well - so far I have never been in a country where people in general are 'un'- friendly.

Likewise, I'm from Europe so I've probably travelled to every inch of Europe and found them to be friendly.
Before I traveled to Pakistan, I had this theory that someone was going to kidnap me, all the women are covered from head to toe and only their eyes were visible. Talibans are freely roaming in pick up trucks with ak47 attached and ready to be fired.
I was so wrong, so very very wrong. Stereotype vanished in thin air. The people were so very friendly.

@Random1Thoughts I have never been to Pakistan but I have worked with Pakistanis and (shock, horror) they are just like everybody else! Some good, some not so good, some friendly, some not so friendly - in other words human beings. To misquote Kipling 'most remarkably like us'.

If one can’t see the beauty of their culture, you are arrogant. Those who come with just negative remarks of a country are the one with screwed head. In my experience I have seen beautiful people regardless of how different they are or their culture is.
