I was very sheltered before [moving].I think it made me aware of the fact that
there are people who do things differently.There are different cultures....I
tended to look at things a lot more basic....People are the same all over the
world to a certain extent.You got to go to work.You got to do your daily job.
I tended not to be so narrow minded....What I really thought about the
United States was how shallow,how provincial....We didn’t know anything
about other countries,we were so isolated.We always thought we were the
best.I was starting to think that maybe we weren’t the best,because we are
missing out on so much.When you’re living in Europe you’re exposed to so
many different languages and cultures and so much history and beauty that
we miss out on here.We are isolated,so I started to think of my country as
not being number one anymore [Taylor,1993,p.179].
