Only people who have never traveled the world think they are better than everyone else

Unlike most of my friends who pride themselves for visiting as many countries in the globe that they can cover, my family is a bit weird, as we prefer to visit the same cities again and again, especially if we had an enjoyable time there.

We were already departing Brunei this time, but the funny thing was we were already planning our next trip to it - this time - hoping to bring the kids along!

I think it's important that they experience the Istana royal family visit so that they can shake hands with the Sultan and his gracious family, and experience the post-Ramadan open house celebrations of the Muslims, as it is a totally different cultural experience that would give them an appreciation that it is not only a Christian world.

Also, nothing like real world experiences to teach them how to behave properly in a different culture, practice the proper etiquette and develop their interest in food, fashion and interior design, which is not always Western in context.

Ignorance is often the source of all the intolerance in the world so when I encounter people who make stupid racist remarks (whether they be white, Filipino, Chinoy or whatever), I just say to myself, this person has never been anywhere in the world.
