A feast for your senses - an honest account of experiencing a new culture - Part 1

Same Same but Different - Episode 1 - Language

The thing about this very podcast episode lies in the honest, sometimes a sense of conflicting views, yet a wondrous outlook of Sarina when she visited India for the first time.

This episode is curated to be chatty, vulnerable, open and honest without putting either Australia or India, as a nation, as a culture down. Neither is there any negative connotations attributed to either - just a curious comparison.

One thing to note, is that Sarina has recounted her experience of India, from her outlook, and I have responded from mine. The thing is, everyone will experience India, and for that matter any country differently. As long as you are open minded, open to try and open to conversations - your experience of another country's culture, traditions, practices...will be truly an eye-opening one.

One has to also remember, that there is a WHOLE world outside of our own that is different to what we are used to - thus, some things may seem very alien, weird and even unnatural - getting a historical context will help in understanding why things are done the way they are in that country.

In part 1, of 'A feast for your senses - an honest account of experiencing a new culture' , Sarina and I talked about

• her unique business as a Sponsorship & Partnership Specialist;
• her reason for opening up her business ;
• difference in sleeping arrangements in India vs a western country;
• how food is an integral part of a country's experience; and
• how the prevalence of gold, gold giving is a tradition in India

I truly hope you get some nuggets of wisdom as you hear Sarina speak about how India, for her, was not an ASSAULT on her senses but a FEAST for them. Here is how you can get in touch with Sarina,
