I remember the feeling of traveling in Japan and China, with really nice infrastructure, then my wife and I flying home and landing in the shabby San Francisco Airport. We were in a great mood from our trip, but then getting home and looking at how run down things looked at home was so very disappointing. Most Americans don’t much travel abroad, don’t see how nice life can be in Europe, how beautiful and energetic the people are in Africa (but a lot of violence in some places), the calm energy and generally very good vibes in India, the vibrancy of Asia. I love my country but I also believe in having a realistic view of the world.
