Traveling to Hong Kong has definitely opened my eyes. My family and I go pretty often, around once every two years. Every time I go to Hong Kong, I feel like I've learned something new and tried something that I would never be able to in San Diego. Being in Hong Kong, there is a lot of pollution and people, unlike San Diego which is less crowded. The buildings are also much taller, and it's kinda scary. But the thing I feel like I've learned most is that not everybody is as lucky and fortunate as me. A house in Hong Kong could buy you two houses in America, because there is such limited space. Most people have to walk or take the bus to work everyday, because there is just not enough space for everyone to have cars. This is how traveling to Hong Kong really changed my perspective.
I think that learning about other places, you have a better understanding of why someone from that place does what they do. Understanding other places and cultures can shape you as a person, and make you a better communicator over all. For example, if I go to China I can learn from the way that they cook and speak, and it would make my life more interesting. You can also develop sympathy with others because you know where thay are coming from.
