00:00When you travel, in my case to China, it becomes an education.
00:14People in different countries have sometimes similar ideas to you, but also other ideas.
00:22And they have ideas about the history of the countries.
00:34When you travel in trains and you're meeting people from other countries,
00:38you realise that people worldwide could be nice. People could get on together by meeting and
00:45talking and sharing a drink together and chatting. It's that way of communicating that
00:54people accepted me and they knew that I was there because I had great love for the country,
00:59great love for the people, and I tried to get on with them.
01:06I don't feel odd.
01:10People have differences, yes. People of different culture, people eat differently.
01:14But you get to know them and you find there's a lot of wonderful people. I feel completely at home.
