The Traveling Baby

Traveling with a baby is surprisingly easier than I would have expected. In part because with a baby you are always used to expecting the unexpected. But it is also easier because babies and kids are everywhere here.

No one seems to mind their screaming for joy or other reasons and there a many kid friendly playgrounds at places that adults can also enjoy too. Even issues that one would think of as difficult such as sterilizing baby bottles or finding age appropriate food are no longer as thorny as before. If you have the money of course....





It is a learning experience in many ways. First, in terms of how culturally specific parenting styles seem to be and how children raised in particular ways develop attitudes about socializing, sleeping, and coping in general that are not so much natural as bred. Also, it makes me realize how fearful of change on can become how doing something different can be so much more difficult in one's mind than it actually is in practice.
