Great tips! I like the more laid-back, more accepting, respectful attitude towards the elderly that seems stronger in Mexico, where I live, though not as big as in Asia, I understand. Retirement homes are a more newfangled thing, and more families are willing to adapt to give a hand with caregiving. In our city I was delighted to find that the university had started to offer courses for older adults, and this has been one way I've continued to grow, learn, and meet new people.
