Since you asked…The Kid left home exactly one year ago, setting for a journey to the Far East. He travelled for three months, visiting Japan, South Korea and China and then settled down in Hong Kong for a job waiting for him there. Lots and lots and lots of experiences. And now – lots and lots and lots of stories and photos to share. He returned home and will be looking to settle down in London now. This is much better for me of course, as he will be so close again. So I’m happy, as you can imagine.
What I meant to say about differences and similarities is that yes, it is rituals and traditions and cultural and social “add-ons” that make us so different in a way we behave, we communicate with others, we are upbringing our children. However, in the very core of all the human beings are the same very simple needs. To be warm, to be fed, to have a roof under your head, to be safe and to protect your offspring. To survive to your best abilities. Everything else seems to be a secondary needs or more even – wants. So in every nook of the World we see people doing different, often strange things, yet when you see into it, it is all to serve just a few very simple needs, all the same for the all of human beings. I’m travelling to the places I perceive as exotic, yet I found people there to be nothing of a strange at all. Their traditions – are. But then again, our own might look pretty much out of ordinary to some just as well.
