Interesting! I certainly need to travel abroad more. I have a fear of flying, so I spent most of my adult life doing road trips across the U.S. as my travel.

I want to visit more cultures so I can really understand how people are overall, what's most common, and what's really unique about each group.

There are positives to these groups that are a little hard on themselves and others. They are polite, and tend to perform well as a cohesive society. So maybe it's just my American sensibilities that make me think we should all be friendly and cherish diversity (though under our current administration it's hard to equate being American with such a thing).

Thank you for sharing your experiences!
