Finding beauty in unexpected places from "summary" of 360 Degrees Longitude by John Higham
In our travels around the world, we have come to realize that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. It is not always in the grandeur of famous landmarks or in the opulence of luxurious resorts. Sometimes, beauty reveals itself in the simplicity and authenticity of everyday life. One such instance that comes to mind is our visit to a small village in rural Japan. As we wandered through the narrow streets lined with traditional wooden houses, we were struck by the quiet elegance of the architecture and the peacefulness of the surroundings. The locals greeted us with warm smiles and showed us hospitality that touched our hearts. Similarly, during our journey through the remote villages of Laos, we were captivated by the lush greenery of the landscape and the genuine kindness of the people we encountered. Despite their modest means, they shared what little they had with us and welcomed us into their homes with open arms. Even in bustling cities like Mumbai, where the chaos and noise can be overwhelming, we discovered pockets of beauty in the vibrant street markets, the colorful saris worn by women, and the mouth-watering aromas wafting from food stalls. It was in these unexpected moments that we found true beauty - in the resilience, creativity, and generosity of the human spirit. As we continue our journey around the globe, we are constantly reminded that beauty is not confined to the pages of travel brochures or the screens of Instagram posts. It is all around us, waiting to be discovered in the most unlikely of places. All we have to do is open our eyes, our hearts, and our minds to see it.
