You want to become more tolerant? Travel!

How can I learn tolerance, to look at the world through the eyes of those who are on the other side of the fence and is different from your opinion? It turns out that sometimes it is enough to step outside the hotel to the system "all inclusive" and plunge into the life of the local population at least for a few days.

Aziz Abu Sarah - a Palestinian who decided to study Hebrew at the moment, along with two friends, the Israelis engaged in a very unusual business. They make something like a cross-cultural trips, during which the Jews come to visit the camp for Palestinian refugees, communicate and share food with them. Or, for example, a group of Muslims from the UK coming to an orthodox Jewish family on a Friday dinner, and in the course of the conversation it turns out that the relatives on both sides lived once on the same territory in the North Africa.

This is not the standard tour, during which you see the world only through the window of the bus, spend the night at the hotel and go for a guide tail trodden tourist trails. So you will never know neither the country nor its people. Crowd "batchfile" in airports that loud the syllables derive Austrian bartender "BU-Loch-KA With KO-RI-Tsey "10 times, each time for a higher tone as if by this he will understand them immediately - it is not tourists. This body, which in what does not want to delve into and find that they all have, because "uplocheno"! They do not know the world, do not delve into the new culture. They always drag their culture with them and do not want to know anything else. If you really want to learn to understand other people and to become at least a little more tolerant, travel with an open mind.
