With regards to understanding culture, I believe it is of utmost importance to arrive with an open mindset. A mindset in which learning and acknowledging the fact that your'e not in culture that you're normally in is very important. One way to do this is by always striving to step out of your comfort circle. In more ways than one, keeping this in the back of your mind is sure to provide many new experiences and cultural understanding.
With a positive mindset and an attitude of stepping out of your comfort circle, you are bound to learn more about other cultures and contribute to the learning of others as well. These people have perhaps not had as much to do with your culture that you're well acquainted with. It definitely works both ways, others you may meet with different cultural backgrounds are perhaps more likely to divulge and share new facets of theirs.
All in all, a positive and willing attitude to learn new things, and talk to new people may result in experiences unlike any you've had.
