People excitedly sharing their culture with you is the most beautiful thing…. thinking about when my childhood friend drew Mehendi on my hands…. when my bfs mum taught me how to make russian salad….. when a Māori student asked me to come watch her sing…. when an Aboriginal man drew stars on my face…. anyway the world is beautiful and so are the people in it
