When I return from Cuba, for example, I always look at objects differently, more creatively, wondering how they can be reused or repurposed.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619893972959296912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002013719792166310.post-3577843962856097342009-07-09T23:10:22.875-04:002009-07-09T23:10:22.875-04:00@Will101, thanks for sharing this related link.

Being in tune with a new environment coupled with having the free time to just let my mind wander usually results in some deep thinking and reflection. Great food for thought, thanks for posting!Cancemini4https://www.blogger.com/profile/15258441805895260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002013719792166310.post-32634593553849896672009-07-09T10:18:56.768-04:002009-07-09T10:18:56.768-04:00Interesting topic, though I must admit I am scepti...Interesting topic, though I must admit I am sceptical of the link. After all, could it be that people who chose to live abroad are just generally more creative? I must admit I am also sceptical because the research is by a professor at INSEAD, which has a vested interest in talking up the benefits of a global, international business, being the "international business school" and all.<br /><br />I do think there is something to learning a language helping people think in other areas as well. I'm rubbish at languages, but have experienced the same thing when doing sudukos or crosswords.

Living abroad too, although after a long period of time, I'm not so sure.<br /><br />I guess your brain works differently to cope with cultural differences, and you break the routine, hence the creativity burst.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002013719792166310.post-20600546109800569832009-07-08T22:45:56.346-04:002009-07-08T22:45:56.346-04:00i dont know if i feel more creative but i def feel...i dont know if i feel more creative but i def feel more energetic and happy overseasNomadic Matthttp://www.nomadicmatt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002013719792166310.post-44268688943612396942009-07-08T10:29:04.075-04:002009-07-08T10:29:04.075-04:00Great post, check out this blog on the same topic:...Great post, check out this blog on the same topic: http://abroad101.blogspot.com/2009/06/living-abroad-linked-to-increase-in.htmlWill101https://www.blogger.com/profile/00252919347187370423noreply@blogger.com
