~:[CH14 - Day 187]:~ The Interconnected World
I landed in Bangkok after a few days in Indonesia covering Prambanan Jazz Festival. Upon landing, I went to grab some snacks and picked up a few bags of Lays which were branded with BT21 characters. I met with a fried who just flew in from Dubai and we ate Korean food. When you travel around the world, access to other cultures is everywhere. From food to music and everything in between, we live in a world that is Interconnected. The past few days, I experienced a large group of Indonesians celebrating with Jae, as they appreciate his music halfway around the world. Similarly, this is the case with many things around thr wotld. Diversity is what keeps thing progressing as we learn and grow from each other. There are definitely places where hatred and animosity exist, even in my own front yard, but I am often encouraged as I travel, as the world finds ways to connect. I hope we can allow ourselves to accept other's differences to allow for us to connect even further. Just because someone is different than us, doesn't make them distant. We can learn from them and appreciate what they can teach us and expose us to. I was sad to say goodbye to Indonesia, but I look forward to another few beautiful days with my friends in Bangkok so I can continue to learn and grow, adding to this Interconnected world.
