I mean sure to an extent. But there are still different cultures. Going shopping in a filipeno grocery store and having to duck every 6 steps so I don't hit my head on anything. Eating authentic Filipino food. I think that is just as culturally different than eating gator in the swamps and tasting soul food.
That being said, I don't REALLY care about cultures. How the live their lives, daily patterns, and way of doing things don't matter to me. Just not interested but camping, seeing nature, and just being out and about that is a lot of fun. I can do all that without leaving the US.
You would be my prime example of someone then who should, because I also thought I didn't care until I was fully immersed. And no, going to a grocery store is not immersing yourself.
Lol it was an example, I actually stayed with the family for a week. They are the family of my best friend and I was invited to go to one of the family members Debut. As a rather tall person going shopping with Grandma was a treat and stood out for many reasons.
