To prepare for our trip, this past winter semester the Wind Symphony took a Cultural Survey class together. We learned the history, culture, and Do's/Don'ts of the countries we are visiting. My conductor shared a quote that really stuck to me:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." -Mark Twain
Pretty eye opening quote I'd say. I am looking forward to growing and becoming more knowledgeable of our world. Traveling these next three weeks will kill any ignorance I have of what's out there. But I hope the stereotype that Belgium has the best chocolates is still true ;P I shall blog about it soon!
