First of all this is an awesome picture and in my opinion we should learn something where we live because every place have it's own essence, it's great to hear that this place made you tough and loving soul too, means literally you had great roller-coaster journey otherwise two aspects is not possible. And yes it's great to hear that you are exploring many cultures and its really great to expand the vision. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
