OPEN YOUR MIND

by martinelli - last update: Nov 4, 2007

WAKE UP AND LEAVE YOUR PREJUDICE AT HOME

___________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

I usually log onto VT twice a YEAR. That means that you shouldn't expect e-mails to be replied any time soon.

If you have questions about Oslo or Salvador, I have to warn you that my pages are grusomly OUTDATED. It will be better for you to contact another VT member who isn't as lazy as old me.

For the funny guys: I am happily married.

Before travelling, here are some phrases I'd recommend you to write down in your travelbook and read every day as you wake up. </font> </center>

<p>

1. IT'S NOT ONLY UNFAIR BUT ALSO <b>RIDICULOUS</b> TO JUDGE OR TREAT ONE BASED IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIS/HER CHARACTER.

2. DON'T "PRESUME" > ASK.

3. DON'T "ASSUME" > TRY TO UNDERSTAND.</left>

4. WHEN ABROAD, <b>YOU</b> ARE THE VISITOR, THE INVADOR, THE INTRUDER, THE STRANGER, THE ALIEN. WHEN IN ROME...

5. NEVER LOOK DOWN TO ONE'S CULTURE. THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS "PRIMITIVE CULTURE" OR "DEVELOPED SOCIETY".

6. IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO EXPERIENCE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES WITHOUT JUDGING THEM - STAY HOME AND RENT A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC VIDEO! YOU'LL BE DOING EVERYONE A FAVOUR!

<br><b>HERE'S A LITTLE TRUE STORY THAT WILL PROVE IT:</b></center>

<i>One beautiful sunny day the brittish scientists decided to study the PRIMITIVE society of the Black Foot indians in Nort America.

"How do you heal your diseases", asked the english.

"Well, we do it two different ways. ", replied the shaman.

"And how is that?"

"Within each of us there are two people that do not know each other and do not control each other, who don't speak the same language but dialogue, in a way, one is invisible to the other and when one is sick, you have to treat both. The sickness of one, provokes the sickness of the other and vice-versa."

"Two people in one, you said?"

"Yes. They are not friends and they frequently trick each other - but they are brothers that live in separate shifts."

The english scientists got to the conclusion that the Black Foot were inferior in inteligence and had a distorted perception of the human being.

Years and years afterwards, Freud was made worldwide famous for his theories about the conscient, the insconscient and the subcounscious.</i>

life is always an adventure!!

keep a smile

if you're nice to people they'll probably be nice to you.

take it easy

you wont solve things by stressing out

be yourself

no matter what!

 Your log in is just one more than your birthday (once a year). You give a clear indication that you do not want to do anything with anybody except rating your photos. That's in a sense what VT should be.If I meet your site once a year, i will do that.
