    There's a saying... “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.”

  10. Ethnocentrism indeed. We were recently on a river cruise in Russia, where most of the passengers were American. They were so surprised to find Russians are "ordinary people, just like us"!!
