Visitors' World Culture Stories

Has this ever happen to you?

As you step out of the Beijing airport, at the corner of your eye, you see a gorgeous Asia woman standing there. As she looks up, your eye starts to blink, your heart races, your skin turns red, your face flushes; your hair stood up because you can feel the electrical charge in the air. Her crystal, dark eyes meet yours for the first time and starts to smile. You feel proud because normally woman never makes the first move. She puts her hand up and wave, you thought you couldn't be any luckier. Your hand shoots up in the sky with a dorky smile on your face as you try to wave back, but, you didn't realize she is waving to a person behind you. You try to cover your embarrassment by pretending that you are waving to somebody else as well. Only one problem, nobody is behind her. You immediately escape into the taxi and the "Hello" song by Lionel Richie start to play on the radio. Irony.

This is the part of the website where we can share our own unique travel story, our own culture shock moment, some travel tip, and fun little family story during the time that you travel the world. Life is no fun if we can't make fun of it. I hope to read yours.
