A2: Camels are an important part of many cultures. If you spend time with them and their owners, you will get an understanding of their importance. #TRLT

A2. When I was in high school, I went to a Jewish wedding in India & it was in an Indian Synagogue. I had not idea that there were Jews in India! Amazing! (not my photo, from this interesting article: https://t.co/zuWzsWKsw4) #TRLT
replying to @MoragForbes @MoragForbes Turkey has outstanding hospitality, history, and food. I had my first visit there in 30 years in June. Brought the family with me - they loved it too! #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A3. Traffic in India :) and yes, more camels :) #TRLT

A3: Biggest culture shock I've felt was in Xi'an, China. I was volunteering at a special needs school, and I've never felt such a significant language barrier. #TRLT

A3- #Carnivale in 🇮🇹#Venice was cool, but those mask start to get creepy after awhile

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2. For me it was starting primary school in Australia. Not only was it novel to experience another culture, but to suddenly be so hyperaware of my own. #TRLT
#TRLT My biggest culture shock was probably also on the Pakistan wedding trip - shopping in the massive bazaar in Gujranwala.
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A3. The Komi Republic was fairly overwhelming. Foreign languages are one thing, but foreign alphabets are something else entirely. #TRLT

@RTWBarefoot A4: We use minced turkey for our Christmas Day pasta al forno, and make an English tiramisu trifle.

A4: My visit to the genocide museum in Phnom Penh was the biggest eye opener. Ever since then, life has been different #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A4) Even though I went to a Tango performance in Buenos Aires, I have yet to learn the dance. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A3. Dawn at the festival of St George at the Rock carved Bete Giyorgis church was an amazing, but totally foreign experience. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A4: pretty much everything from living several years in Japan: taking off my shoes inside, Japanese furniture, hanging scrolls, sleeping on a futon, wearing kimono / samue… #TRLT (first pic is a replica of the jizo at Hasedera that I had made for my 40th birthday 😊)
A4: After going to a rugby match in England I started looking for it on TV here in the states. #TRLT
