I am sure there are as many correct answers to this question as there are people who experience a culture as an outsider. Experience is personal. But, I can answer personally. As an outsider, I have found that I am often more inquisitive about the origins of other cultures' practices than are those who, because they grew up in the culture, simply accept the pratices as "just the way it is done". For example, I asked at least thirty Mexicans of various ages and educational backgrounds what the significance of the pinata was. None knew. I researched it myself. Furthermore, none of my Mexican friends could tell me why they make such an elaborate affair for a baby's first birthday or why Christmas is tamale making time. I guess it is like the fact that many native New Yorkers never visit the Statue of Liberty. Because it isn't novel to them it just isn't as fascinating.
Feeling like an outsider in a culture can provide a unique perspective as it allows one to observe and analyze the culture from an external viewpoint. This experience can lead to a deeper understanding of the culture's customs, values, and social dynamics. It can also foster empathy and awareness of the challenges faced by those who are marginalized within that culture.

Factors such as environment, social organization, technology, and diet can influence how hominids live.

He taught that it is in our nature to experience suffering, but that there is a way to experience life differently, by understanding the origins of our suffering. These origins of suffering have to do with clinging to things as permanent (such as the notion of a permanent self, among others), when in fact there are no such permanent things. The way to overcome this clinging is to cultivate certain habits in how we experience the world. These habits include understanding how morality & remorse affect our experience, how our ability to concentrate on our experience from moment to moment affects it, and how developing wisdom about the true nature of reality affects it. This true nature of reality is normally hidden from us by mistaken thoughts & feelings. It is what exists beneath or behind the world of thought-feelings. The habits of experience needed to penetrate the delusions of thought-feelings are developed by pursuing behavior that does not lead to remorse, by increasing one's ability to concentrate & be aware of what's happening in the moment, & by thus developing the wisdom to live with true understanding of the nature of things are they actually are.
