Visiting Relatives
I got family in Ireland. And when I was 14 I was allowed to go visit them. They lived way out in the country and did things that were primitive by my standards. The reality was they were simple farmers.
I had alot of fun and I experienced life in a way that was different from everything I knew. I guess I learned alot that summer, I learned the type of stuff they dont teach in school,stuff that on some subconscious level is far more useful than textbook learning.
Years later I got an email randomly from one of the cousins from the farm. I replied and asked where he was, as I was quite shocked. He replied he was in Ireland, and asked me why I was ask that of him, and I informed him I was unaware they had electricity in Ireland, let alone computers and Internet.
