Let's explore that in this video ;)

Still, I want to share it with you because it so nicely illustrates errors in judgement due to one’s preconceived ideas and ignorance (in this case - my own). This is one of the intense experiences I’ve had during my 1 year trip across Southeast Asia back in 2008, that changed me profoundly. I hope my story gets you thinking of similar encounters you may have had in your own life and how you dealt with them. The big question is: Do YOU give the “Martins” in your life a chance? ;)
