In addition to some beautiful images captured on the streets of Tokyo, Winnie has this to say on travelling.
I wrote about my psychological health improving when I travel, I think a part of it is that travelling increases the opportunities for positive and warm human interactions. Because of all the awkwardness that exists due to language and cultural differences, there seems to be a special kind of grace reserved. We do have our fair share of negative encounters but in general there is warmth.
As someone who lives both language and a cultural differences almost daily, I can only attest to the opportunity for warmth, grace and shared moments of joy that they bring. We all need to travel more, to experience these barriers and the warmth they can bring.
