Geocache Description:



xenomania

n. A strong preference for foreign customs, manners, or institutions; the gaining of pleasure from meeting strangers or visiting foreign countries.


 I was recently passing by Central Park, which I hadn't visited in several years, and I was amazed by how much it's been improved since I was last there.  I was also amazed that it didn't contain a geocache!

The area of the city around Central Park is very popular with newcomer families, who in recent years have immigrated mostly from Africa.  As I wandered through the park, seeing all the recent newcomers, I almost felt as though I was being transported to another country and another culture.

Being a bit of a xenomaniac myself (I love to travel and experience new places and new customs), I loved the feeling of being immersed, if only momentarily, into a group of people who have customs and a culture distinct from what I'm used to.

If you are a newcomer to Canada, then welcome here, and thanks for contributing to the multicultural mosaic that is Canada!  If you're not, then come experience a little xenomania while you find this cache.

Congratulations to Wizago on being First to Find!
