The truth is a lot messier than that. In this video I walk you through the things people expect I've mastered but that actually took me years to understand and some I'm still working out. The language battle that doesn't end when you become fluent, the way rules really work here, how genuinely diverse the country is, how wealthy it actually is, the huge middle class most visitors never notice, the weight colonial history still carries and the gap between how religious life looks on the surface and what everyday life is really like.
