Every country I've been to is trying to mimic Western Culture methink, but hard to tell if tis a true mimic. Perhaps Western Culture just promotes progress more so than others and by doing so becomes representative of progress. I now understand progress can be had without it and NOT dependent on any one culture. So far Western Culture has been the best and most nurturing. Answer to your question, No, not so much.

When I first arrived in Seoul I realized I did not understand a word written on bill boards or street signs. 

Americans are overly concerned about keeping food sanitary so when I saw Parisians carrying a loaf of unwrapped bread under their arm, or Turks wrapping a sandwich in newspaper, I was taken aback. In Morocco we had a large dead cockroach on a plate of olives. When we pointed it out to the waiter, he removed it and set the plate back on our table.

I've been to a lot of countries but I think when I went to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania that I really saw a whole different way of life and I liked it. Don't know what it's like now but that was a total shock to me. Never met nicer welcoming people like that before. It was quite a shock being treated so nicely after some of the rudeness in other countries.

not that i remember but i was only 7 when i came here
