If you can afford to, travel. If you can't, still try to.. coz it's a great teacher. You learn through observation, immersion, and a lot of interactions. For instance, I was fascinated by the varied experiences in recent years at Vietnam, Ladakh, Japan, Bali, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, during international travels. Also, within India, I went to Nagaland for the first time, and had a fascinating interaction with an MLA and a Minister, and learnt a lot. Also met a businessman who drove us around, and told us about modernisation of business practices.
People in Bali including taxi drivers were very polite, punctual and well-behaved. Their architecture- temples particularly- is fascinating, and different.
Japan is a very modern country technically, but they follow quite a few traditions too. Innovators in many ways, ahead of the West.
Vietnam- just the Ha Long Bay cruise is enough to give you goosebumps. And they have a Temple of Literature dedicated to Confucius, my hero..
Cambodia has a rich culture, partly Hindu, part Buddhist..
Sri Lanka grows a lot of tea and spices, and follows Ayurveda..
Singapore is known for good governance, and Management of govt. services. Great universities too.
