Julien would agree that:

• We need to interpret from our own standpoint.

• We need to interpret based on the other person's culture.

• Things should be taken as mere facts.

A new culture should also mean:

• Learn to be comfortable disregarding peoples feelings.

• Learning what books say about the people.

• Learning to be ok with being uncomfortable.

Seeing how people handle personal space:

• You can get an idea on their culture.

• You can see how they've developed their interpersonal skills.

• You can see how they've developed their intrapersonal skills.

Cultural differences will prevail...

• We need to understand that we will never enjoy the same things.

• We need to find common ground.

The lens through which you see the world, shapes your reality.

• If I change the city where I live, I will see the world through a different lens.

• Based on your culture, your perception of the world might change.

According to Julien: A person from a "hard/cold" culture is more likely to invite you to their place after a short time of knowing each other.
