Realizations of Relativity

Tonight I went to the Transformers movie at a theatre with my host siblings. It was so interesting to learn these little differences and similarities that we all share. For instance, the theatre was in a mall, much like we have in the US, but you have to go through metal detectors (common for many buildings here) to get in. At the start of the movie, the national anthem is played. There is an intermission! (I thought it was the end of the movie and was very upset because I wanted to know what happened to Optimus Prime) People clap and woot and holler whenever something cool happens, and at the end of the movie. 

Though these are petty differences and unimportant In the ultimate scheme of things, it helped me to further realize that we are all very similar beings. Though born and raised thousands of miles apart from one another, we all develop very similar habits and have similar forms of entertainment and humor. People are people and we are all somehow related. It was a cool realization that I had, siting in this theatre that looked exactly like the one I have at home. It's amazing how similar we all are.
