What has been your greatest cultural experience so far (positive or negative) ? What did you learn from this and what impact has it had on you ? If you went through that experience again what would you do differently ?
Well?? This question is not addressed to me to my mind. I'm not experiencing any American thing. I'm living with 7 Tunisian trainees, I'm having fun with them, but I'm here to meet, live, learn and discover other nationalities and cultures.
The point is: when I try to go over the Tunisian circle I found my self surrounded by our beloved trainees. I like them all (most of them to be honest :-p), but they are all concerned by the MasterCard hardship and have not enough patient for old guys like me.
It doesn't mean that it's not possible to meet other people but the time is missing.
To be honest I don't want to think about cultural differences specially in St.Louis. I don't consider myself in the USA here, at least not the USA I used to know before I arrive.
