Silence on the elevator.
I now have the forming opinion that Wisconsinites like talking on elevators. How do I know this? Because in my attempts to blend in with the culture that I’m staying, I notice a strong desire to talk in the elevators.
Nobody talks in elevators here.
I think it’s good for more people to spend time in cultures far outside of their primary ones. You learn so much about yourself — pros and flaws — by having another culture reflect yourself back at you.
What might I do differently back at home from what I’ve learned here? Unsure. I need to think on it more.
