If I could travel to a new and unfamiliar area it would probably be Pakistan. This is a very complicated area to travel to but my father is from Pakistan so thats basically why I would love to go. I think I would definitely have to bring some knowledge of Islam since 97% of Pakistanis are muslim. I would probably bring books such as the Koran and books about the history of Pakistan and India so as i would experience the cultural shock I could have some guide to inform me on the basic history of the country and the culture. Someone in an earlier blog also mentioned having an openmind which anyone will need when going out of their comfort zone. I completely agree with that person because if you can't embrace the differences of one's culture you seem to be ignorant and you really actually miss out on learning a new way of life and tradition.
