Spending a few days in Bangalore, India has been most interesting.

The culture here is totally different to that of Australia. For fun I’ll name a few differences.

• Eating: A whole lot of stuff is eaten with the hands. Back home it would be unheard of to mix and eat rice with just your hands. Oh and do not eat with your left hand, don’t ask
• Roads: The traffic in Bangalore appears to be very chaotic. Practically anything that is done on the roads here would get you pulled over and fined by police at home

But even with all the different smells, tastes and crazy running across highways I’ve noticed that it doesn’t really feel different to me.

Although I am in India, I still feel the same as I felt in Australia.

People are still people and I still feel just as connected. Even though most of the time I can’t understand what they are saying.

To me this proves something that I had wanted to check.

No matter where we come from, what our upbringing was like, what are beliefs are, what religion we follow.

We are all the same.

While it is nice to read, it is much more important to feel. I would urge everyone to try and feel the likeness.
