Living in a foreign country for three months taught me
How to say good morning in seven different languages
How Turks view the Armenian genocide
How people in other countries perceive Americans
How the Israel-Palestine conflict affects Israel and Palestine
How to communicate using only gestures
What happened when Amadinejad stole the elections in Iran
What it’s like to live in a country where you don’t speak the language
That the United States is not the center of the universe
But that the music produced in the United States is heard across the universe--
Particularly the Beatle’s track “Across the Universe”
What methods NASA used to explore the moon
How globalized economies affect daily lives in times of depression
How difficult it is to learn a new language
And how to teach children who speak English as a fourth or fifth language.
I did not learn about the lives of celebrities like Rihanna and Chris Brown
Or why humans live in such complex societies.
