I find that it’s sometimes hard to identify with people you do know have commonalities with, but it’s especially hard to identify with someone who is radically different. Cultural barriers have ...read more

    based on 5 ratings

Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more
