At the risk of getting all profound, seeing how other cultures make sense of the stresses and strains of every day existence and celebrate the good things in life can be a thoroughly life affirming experience.

The conclusion we often reach when on research trips? We're mighty different on some levels, but when push comes to shove, we're all comfortingly similar. Here ends the philosophy lecture.
