Episode 13 | The time I received a very, very special gift
Cross-cultural surprises
🇿🇦 In this episode set in South Africa, I tell you about the time I received an unexpected gift that touched me deeply... and introduced me to an aspect of the local culture that fascinated me.
It happened in a bar, an evening (almost) like any other. And there was this girl. No, it's not the beginning of a love story. Well, sort of, a love story with an aspect of South African culture, in fact.
And a word...
Ubuntu.
I'll tell you what the word means and its importance in the country's history. You'll see, it's not just the name of an open source operating system!
In this new episode of Surprises Interculturel, I'd like to talk about our values, what they mean for a country, and how they are embodied in everyday life. A deeper insight than the ones we usually talk about.
Do you know of any philosophies or strong values in other countries that have a strong impact on the culture and daily lives of their inhabitants?
Whether you're an expat, a traveller or just curious about cultures and diversity, this podcast is for you!
Enjoy!
