Cross cultural

Many a times my friends ask me why i have all these friends from other countries i don't know and probably never will meet them either.
Its for a simple reason, i don't wish to be limited by restriction i didn't choose.
It helps me learn about their culture their life and what are the things that occupy their minds.
Apart from that which was the expected result out of befriending them there were some unexpected results too. One of these and which no one can guess is... 'A better understanding of my own culture and society.'
For those of you from India this can be summarized in the saying "Ghar ki Murgi Dal barabar".
Yes, its sad but its true! While we live in a bubble of our own creation, there are things present right in front of us that we ignore. Some times in order to see things which your eyes are not conditioned to see you have to borrow others eyes.
One such case if a friend of mine who is a Catalan, studying in Hungary. She sent me these videos today. She says when she i down they help her fill up with energy.
I hadn't expected what these will turn out to be!
Have a look please :)
