Let us really BE with each other when we visit, and our times together will be authentic, and worth repeating.. -Dani
Dani, thanks for that compliment.
I give it back to you with sincere gratitude for you have expressed what I wanted to say much better than I did.
I borrowed the idea about the tourist approach to multiculturalism from my reading though I don't remember which article or book. This shallow approach to learning about and/or experiencing different cultures may have been addressed in an article about the book The Ugly American. However, I don't think it was from that book itself.

Here's my list of "be attitudes": 1. be for real {another way of saying "be authentic"} 2. be considerate of other people 3. be open to learning {be curious} 4. be flexible 5. be alert and aware {be safe} 6. be brave {be of good courage} 7. be helpful 8. be healthy 9. be joy full
and
10. be all you can be {that means keep working on knowing your self and improving your self}
{Thanks to the US army recruitment ads for "be all that you can be"}
