So Different?!

At first glance, my colleagues and I working in Copenhagen seem to be quite different from one another. Whether it is the way each one of us dresses, speaks, behaves, or our personal experiences, it is without a doubt that we are all unique in our own way. As a matter of fact, we all belong to different generations.

Yet, as we get to know one another, we are not so different after all. We all enjoy eating exotic food like sushi, Thai, and Indian food. In fact, I have come to learn that many of us have travelled and worked in Hong Kong. Consequently, we have alot in common when it comes to talking about travelling and Hong Kong. I always knew that "momentai" meant no problem in Cantonese. Now I have learned from one of my colleagues that "yaomentai" means big problem in Cantonese!

If we look deep enough and take the time to understand one another, we come to find that although we all are unique in this world, we do have many things in common. So regardless of what religion or country we may come from, we have so many similarities to build on. We should respect our differences, but use our common bonds and interests to build a better tomorrow for the common good.
