Travelling the World
who has been lucky enough to travel, out of their usual environment and explore other areas, regions or countries, may agree with me that is a unique and invaluable experience as it is a subject that is not learned at school or college.
The power to know and respect other languages \u200b\u200band cultures, having the opportunity to mingle with people outside your " habitat" normal, everyday, it enriches and transforms the way think, act and function in your normal life.
There are several ways to travel, but the most common-or at least are the ones that to me I like particularly, are traveling for pleasure or vacation and travel for work.
for me the times I've traveled are 80% for work, and mainly, for my work-out in Spain.
All the countries I visited have taught me something and all I have learned to understand the why of things (things) that occur in each and every one of them, and while unassimilated or accept all of what you see, if that makes you think and look the other way other cultures, religions and attitudes, and most importantly, eradicated from my mind for an Independent Exculpation and radicals that exist in all countries, including Spain. All this while reafirmarte as yours, as you live, what you believe in your history, your culture, your language.
To reach such a conviction is not necessary to travel, but for those who do not think so, yes it is necessary for this trip around other lands, and I dare say that no rental, but working alone and with a companion case.
was inconceivable in 1983, after my first experience of travel (usually only), the power to accept a self-exclusion by my way of thinking and life, we're different in our behavior, but we also like our priorities. When we go out (and when I say outside, is outside Spain) foreigners, we are strangers, they are at home.
is contemplating moving in Dallas, the place where they killed John F. Kennedy, see the ship or building where he was shot (allegedly) and visit the monolith that the city has spent as President of USA, and in memory of his assassination.
is spectacular to see the skyscrapers of New York, riding the Metro, walk through Central Park (before 6 pm) or climb the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty.
is alarming to be on the top floor of the Tokyo Tower Communications, in toilets, and watch as the water stand, swinging from left to right within it. On these dates as dramatic for Japan come to mind me, I traveled to several cities: Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Mie (Spain Park), etc. using the bullet train, education, cleanliness and respect of Japanese nationals, I noticed during all my travels.
It's great to walk by Melbourne (Australia) drive in a park-of many who have, which is larger than all Manises.
is tragic to see, in central Sydney in 1985, a barracks with people inside, and to ask what was it, I explained that they were immigrants who had arrived in Australia in small boats and were held for deportation.
is overwhelming to be in Dubai, capital of the UAE, to + 50 ยบ C. the sun, in jacket and tie at 13:00, waiting for a taxi that never came, and not fall a single drop of sweat. But at 18:00, leaving the hotel in short sleeves and jeans and having to go up and change it at 5 minutes were dripping with sweat.
It's great to visit the ruins of Petra and swim in the Dead Sea in Jordan where time runs, slides, sit and watch as we talk, discuss or even insult the soldiers Israelis and Jordanians, separated only by a strip of cloth on the floor.
is, the less shocking, that pairs a taxi in Mexico City and you go up 2 or 3 people sharing the same taxi, or you stop and say one "Right now I COME " 2 hours and you're still waiting, in the same place, to pass at you.
is to stay frozen to be a - 28 ° C. in Sweden and Chicago, with broken shoes (open the soles on the cold) and walk the streets in a memorable and unforgettable journey for the unusual and novel.
Valencia may be the best land in the world, but Los Angeles, for example, has our own vitality, climate and way of life that we, in case there are many more famous and known in Valencia without the high purchasing power most of its inhabitants.
Of all I have a special memory, but if I had to miss possibly be in Mexico or Jordan, two countries that have impacted me and those who keep a special affection.
A tour of these countries, people, stories, danger, and so on. I will try to reflect in a few short stories, and will help me remember the good times and bad, that everything has been " during my 20 years traveling the world.
