On our travels, we came across a Sikh gentleman while waiting for 6 hours in the airport. He was very educated and very well traveled. It was great conversation, we got to discuss the backlash his people felt post 9/11 (for some reason, most people associate a turban with the muslim extremists). It was interesting to hear his side of things, to learn a bit about the Sikh's religion, and a bit about Indian culture from a native.
I guess that's another benefit of having taken the trip, I learned a LOT about other religions and cultures that I had no idea about before hand.
Yes... I feel lucky!
