If people live in one place, they can have stable lives and don’t have to adjust to other situations. However, I prefer to move around throughout my lives because the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages; I can experience other cultures and meet new people.
The first reason is that people can experience a variety of cultures moving to other areas. Experiencing and learning other cultures can broaden your mind. For example, I was grown up at Seoul, Korea until I was twenty-four and I had never been to other countries. I was longing for moving to another country, so our family moved to Australia. At Australia, I could experience many novel cultures, which were significantly different from Korean. In Korea, people took off their shoes before getting in to their houses, but Australians wore their shoes in their rooms. Furthermore, I had to learn how to use chopsticks in Korea, but I am using forks in Australia. It was a little hard for me to get adjust to another culture at the first time. However, I soon realized that all the different countries have different cultures and this helped me understand many difference not only when I travel abroad, but also in our daily lives.
Another reason I prefer to move a number of times is that I can meet many people. Although I could also meet many people in Korea, it’s not as much as I met in Australia. I have been teaching Korean in welfare center for those who are willing to learn, since I moved to Australia. This gave me an opportunity to meet about 500 students a year. Since many students have interests in me and we have many activities together, I can meet them frequently and get along with them. I’ve been teaching 5 years now and I wish I could meet more and more people in the future. Maybe, moving to other area will give me other chances to meet people in other ways.
People who don’t want change prefer to live in one place. However, I think people should experience as much things as they could throughout their lives, so I’d like to move around to search other places because, I can experience many cultures and have chances to meet new people.
