Approaching and socializing with foreigners have made me see how diverse the world is. Do you feel its good too?

So in this post I will share how socializing with foreigners made me see how diverse people can be even from the same country and also how I stopped treating foreigners as some celebrity or VIP figure. So Bollywood and many media often group or show Europeans as only blondes but my interactions in real life shows its simply not true. So 3 days ago in Chai Point Cafe of Church Street area of our city Bangalore in India, I talked with these 2 women from Netherlands. They were very friendly but one of them was very Mediterranean looking rather than blonde whereas the other one was a Brunette woman with hazel eye color. Both were very friendly, asked about me and even asked whether I am from India haha(maybe because I make my accent a bit Westernized sounding or maybe because of my confidence) but it was a great conversation. I am 25 and they were closer in age too mostly.

Then in Dyu Art Cafe of Koramangala area of our city Bangalore, I initiated conversation with this another woman who looked very Portuguese so I thought maybe she is from Brazil or Portugal or somewhere similar but after talking to her, I came to know she is from France. Yeah we again had a great conversation. Then in 1MG mall in Trinity area of our city, I initiated conversation with this woman who too looked very Spanish but she said she is from Ukraine. I really loved her strong Eastern European accent and she was friendly. I was literally drinking sugarcane juice in the mall while talking to her while she was eating yogurt as she just had a spicy food. We eventually had a high five by ending the conversation. Also talked with a German expat woman in the same mall who was also very friendly.

But then in Church Street in the Cafe, I had a long conversation with a blonde Swedish woman and she was fully engaging in a conversation with me about various topics about which I posted in detail in one of my previous post. Also navigated a moment with a British woman who is a lot older(definitely over 40) in this Cafe who is deaf. At first when I approached, she noticed me but couldn't hear what I said but then she wore her hearing aids and said "Sorry I wasn't wearing my hearing aids. I am actually deaf". I then said her sorry about it and talked a bit with her. So yeah I had plenty such conversations. These has made me feel how diverse many people are even within the same country. I became habituated now to cross-cultural interactions. And its not just women but on the same day, in the Cafe of Church Street, I even talked a bit and had a handshake with 2 white expat men who are from Czech Republic. Also a month ago in Indiranagar area of our city Bangalore, I did have a good conversation with a man who is from UK but of Irish descent and it was another good cross-cultural interaction. Nowadays I no longer see foreigners as VIP or celebrity type as I go to Central Bangalore so much that I am habituated to seeing people from different countries. Plenty of Indians still see foreigners especially whites as celebrity-like or VIP due to lack of exposure to cosmopolitan environments but I no longer do.
