Years ago, when I visited Banaue, I noticed several carabao skulls displayed in some hut houses. They seemed to hold cultural or historical meaning, not just decoration. Seeing them made me curious about the traditions and stories behind them. According to some locals, depending on the number of skulls displayed, it could indicate the family's economic status. It is also believed that skulls call upon spirits for protection.
But this one, I saw it in a hut-like museum that shows Banaue culture in a gist.
Travel really open our eyes we would not normally see.

It is said here that traveling broadens our horizons. Pretty and I used to travel across the US for vacations when she was little and as a teenager. We haven't traveled in years, though. We worry we'll get far away from home and my eyes will swell closed and I can't drive us home again.

It’s true that traveling to different places provides a wealth of information. Travel can be one of the best ways to learn about a place, often more effectively than books, since experiencing it firsthand helps you retain more than simply reading and looking at pictures.
