Open Mindful to the FOREIGN life?

While watching this Olympic bonanza on mainstream television, am inspired and in awe of the sheer volume of different countries this EARTH holds down.
I think sometimes, we as American citizens get caught up and stuck in our own little lives. We think small and worry about our jobs, our cities, & our immediate circle of influence, friends, partners, business allies, etc.
Today's theme is to bring us OUT into the world. To remain OPEN MINDFUL to different countries, people, languages, governments and methods for life. So are YOU the reader, OPEN MINDFUL to FOREIGN COUNTRIES? FOREIGN PEOPLE, FOREIGN CULTURE, & FOREIGN LANDSCAPES? Or, are you settled and burrowed into one destination? Like a groundhog, buried in a hole.
For example, would you ever live and actually reside in a Foreign Nation? Where? Which one? Would you consider dating or marrying a foreign person? Do you care to pay attention to foreign news?
Personally, I hope to stay OPEN MINDFUL to foreign countries and people. Previously, I have romantically dated a foreign girl for over a year, and it was fantastic and genuine. Also, I actually resided and had a flat/apartment in Sevilla, Spain for 1 summer. That was an absolutely joyous time-frame too.
What are your best FOREIGN experiences and stories? Where should we escape and adventure to?
Where should we NOT go?
Thanks for your genuine, truthful foreign experiences and comments.
I hope we as a country, world and citizenry, will progressively grow more OPEN MINDFUL to the diversity, yet bonding sameness of human life here on earth.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

MORALS.... Who is to Judge your Actions?

Image
As we've discussed recently, each person is individually, physically and intellectually unique. What are your personal MORALS? Do you even have them? Should we, are they necessary? Let's not confuse morals with simply following the LAW. It is understood that the USA is a wonderful, prosperous splendid country with a plethora of freedoms. Of course, we are asked and try our best to faithfully follow our country's law and rules. But what about MORALS? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to morality? Whom is to judge what is right and wrong? Personally I would say just follow the Golden Rule. Simply treat others as you would like to be treated, with respect and kindness. Does having morals induce a better life? Often times, the BEST MOMENTS in my life, have occurred while having fun, living life with NO SHAME, and not upholding to a moral compass. For example, whimsical nights of care-free fun, randomness, friends, and newness. I do believe it is immoral to cheat on a spouse or r

How do we get there? Open Mindful with Transportation?

There are a number of ways, we as fellow humans transport ourselves from one destination to the other. Whether you are going somewhere for a work commute, visiting a friend's place, traveling, or exploring our world, there are a multitude of ways to get there. Let's discuss! Which method of movement is the most economical? efficient? Which mode of transportation is the coolest? the Healthiest? Some obvious transportation examples that come to mind include using a regular car, walking, train, bicycle, subway, plane, moped, motorcycle, cab, bus, boat, pedicab, limousine, hybrid car, the segway, and more I'm sure. Feel free to add on. What is your favorite or preferred method? Recently I asked a client if she minded the windy drive to a particular neighborhood. She proclaimed, it was fair, pleasant, easy going & bearable. Personally, I am an avid believer & fan of walking. It would be my #1 vote for the best transportation method. With walking it is healthy and a
