I think a lot of people need to learn the fine art of “shut up and listen and then go think about it” when encountering cultures unfamiliar to them.
I’m proud to say that this is something I was taught as a child and it’s allowed me to learn how to learn.
It’s great to be curious and inquisitive, but it’s also necessary to know how and WHEN to ask questions and understand that some things are not yours to know (there’s knowledge in that, too).
