I lived in Spain when I was 21 years old and I thought that everyone worked 8-5 and then went home for the day. I didn't realize that around 1 pm they would go home for a siesta and then come back to work for a few hours and then go home. I quickly came to find out that they lived a much more relaxed lifestyle than what I was used to.

My experience is with an ex-brother in-law. I had the misconception that all Iranian were very rude and looked down on other cultures. He would say donkeys were our cousins and things like that. I have since met more people from Iran with very different mindsets.

My school population is predominantly Russian. I thought the parents would be rough and abrupt and honestly, somewhat scary. However, they are hardworking people with strong work efforts and hold education and teachers very high.

I heard from another teacher that she wanted to have a show including dancing, and she was sure that her two Cuban students could dance in this show, but she was very surprised when they told her they could not even learn to dance. This is not the only time that I have heard this kind of stories. What a big assumption!

My mom lived in San Diego California. When I would go to visit her I would always refer to people/culture as Cuban instead of Mexican. Born and raised in Hialeah I am comfortable and immersed in the culture and the food and when I would visit my mom I had to adjust my thinking. The culture and food was quite different.

People usually ask me are the beaches as beautiful as it look in the pictures? The answer is yes. The Bahamas has one of the biggest barriers reefs in the world, and is home to all kinds of exotic fish of all shapes and sizes. Do all Bahamian know how to swim and are they do they all know how to make straw basket and conch salad and conch fritters?
