Agreed! I always try to keep space for some of my passions. Whenever I travel for instance, I like to play badminton in the new place I'm in and many of my friends ask me why I would want to do something that I already do back home - sometimes its comforting to do something you are passionate about, and it can be an especially different experience abroad.
agree on that too! it is very nice to see how we do what we love in different places and share our pleasure with others. maybe we don't even speak the language but we can do something together !!
