the different cultures I’ve discovered

I’ve visited multiple countries but the first moment that really showed me the difference between people, and how it opened my mind to the idea that not everyone shares the same ideas. The first country I’ve ever visited besides other parts of Canada and the US is Germany. I remember going into shops and restaurants and thinking that everyone knew a bit of English and could understand me. The people of Germany had such an amazing cultural effect on me. People would dress in the traditional clothing regularly, 15-16 year olds drinking beer in pubs.
