If i was in a place with a different culture or social status it would be a very unique experience. Personally, i've always wanted to go to a place where the culture is different from my own. America is great, and some places have different cultures here, but i've always wanted to go India or Africa, or places like that to be immersed in it and see how they live differently from us. I find other cultures to be extremely beautiful, and from what i've heard, it's a wonderful and enlightening experience. Mainly because you realize that there is so much about people and about the world that you never knew. I've always wanted to go to Mexico too, for the Day of the Dead and see what it's like down there. Every time i hear about it, or see documentaries discussing it and showing pictures, its always so colorful and unique from anything i've ever seen here in America. Or China! It would be amazing to go to China for Chinese New Years! It's a huge celebration filled with so much culture and tradition, and i don't want to die knowing i missed out! There is so much i still don't know, partially because i've never been out of the country, but i really would like to travel someday and see the world. The closest thing i've ever gotten to other cultures is in Epcot in Disney world, and all of that stuff is just to give you the 'feel' of what it would be like to travel to a different place with a different culture. I want to GO to all those places.
On the social status side, the places where a persons social status is way lower than yours changes you. When my mom went to Bulgaria on a mission trip, it really changed her view on life. She was among people who were so poor, they barely had any clothes at all. It made her realize how lucky we are, and how you can't let a persons social status decide for you how you will treat someone. Going to a place where people are different from you can really make you appreciate the life you live.
