Does anyone else love learning about new cultures and customs?

I think it is so interesting learning about other cultures and customs. I feel like my mutt/Protestant upbringing is so boring but then again most people probably think that they are boring because it's all you know growing up. I went to a very, very diverse college and loved it. I made so many friends that were from different countries, and different religions and how even within certain religions there are different customs and sects and I just find it all so fascinating and I love asking a lot of questions just because I love soaking it all in and learning and I def want my children to learn all about the different people in the world.

We routinely watch shows about other cultures. Even DC are interested in what other people do. 5yo DD wrote "Hannukah" and "Kwanzaa" as well as "Christmas" on our whiteboard calendar this month. We have several books about other cultures. We love eating food from other nations, and DW is really good at cooking other cuisines.

Once in a while, we'll just look random stuff up on the web. Last month, DW and I looked up the various versions of Judaism, and how different groups of the same religion have different beliefs, even. Some groups allow clothing of mixed fibers, some do, but only if it's single fibers for each layer, others forbid any mixing of fibers, etc.

Absolutely love learning about other cultures! It's very enriching. I will look up random things online whenever I'm curious. It's also why I love museums.

Love it! DH and I are of very different cultures - American-Irish Christian for me, Bengali-born, American-raised Muslim for him.

Funny thing is, when you really break down cultures and traditions of many backgrounds, so much is similar when you talk about the root of traditions :)

Gotta love trying different types of food, too! Yum!
