Thoughts/Emotions/Observations:
It's worthwhile to take time to appreciate where you come from. It's important to recognize cultures beyond the ones you are familiar with. I like how time was taken for a week to dignify Armenian culture. It gave westernized Armenians the opportunity to embrace their heritage and take pride in their homeland. I think it's important to your time to marvel anyone's culture, especially your own culture.
