I agree, it takes some time getting used to a new culture. Especially if you have to travel 30 mintues to get to it.

Or you can live IN the new culture and experience it.

I for one didn't travel almost halfway around the world to experience what I can back home, but then maybe that's just me. I just think if you surround yourself with different people than you are used to and you can adapt easily to different things than you are used to.
