The value of world travel.
I was born in a British colony in southern central Africa, and my family traveled all over that region to all the other colonies, British, German, South African , Portugese. So I learnt at at an early age about foreign travel and different cultures. Besides the imported European cultures in those colonies, I also was submerged in the African cultures and languages that bombarded me on a daily basis. So when we emigrated to New Zealand when I was 5 years old, I was not fazed at all by the move and the changed culture I was confronted with. It was a big adventure. In fact I started Elementary school in New Zealand. Really the only different thing I was confronted with was a new and strange people and culture, the Moari. The facial tribal tattoos, the language, the food. The music and the dancing. I just filed it away in my memories.
