My first overseas trip was part of an international exchange program in sports (track and field) and I traveled to Northern Italy and Switzerland.
It definitely changed how I felt about other cultures and I had realized that coming from the South I had been seriously sheltered! Not to mention, I learned quite a bit by watching some of the other participants act like "stupid" Americans. I think sometimes it pays to keep your lips sealed if in doubt!
I was grateful to hae had the experience and don't regret it.
