i'm fine right here Posted by poolboyjames on October 21, 2010 at 3:59 PM comments (0)i want to explain something i have never understood
why do people want to travel so bad? i mean like without a real reason.. like i understand if u r deeply into fashion and paris is the fashion capital then u will probably want to go there, i understand that but i don't get why people want to go on trips to just look around.. especially when its a place that really has no good traits to it like for example, i remember on the 1998 season of the real world the cast decided to go to nepal think about that.. why would a person want to go to nepal? its really hot outside.. 8 or 9 times out of 10 when u find a bathroom its not like a real bathroom, its just a hole in the ground.. one of the cast members drank water and had diarrhea for like 3 days.. people don't really have cars they ride elephants and ish like.. u see what i'm saying? i've never really understood why people are always so excited to leave the country and study abroad or just visit some place that really is horrible when u look at it on paper for example.. today in spanish class the teacher was telling us about a place in some spanish speaking country where people build everything they use out of straw.. she's talking about it like its so neat and cool and interesting but THEY MAKE EVERYTHING WITH STRAW like.. they live on water and somehow they make a foundation on a lake with straw.. then they build houses, and boats and all these things.. but.. say they make a boat.. it only lasts up to 4 months because its made of straw.. and same with their houses, they have to constantly remake everything because its built with straw and animal fat and junk so she's talking about how great this place is and how great their people are.. but to me that sounds like an ignorant way to live life.. like.. even going back to the three little pigs.. the wise pig built his house on a strong foundation out of bricks but the dumbest one used straw so i fail to see why anyone would want to visit or spend time at such a place.. she also explained to us how in some other country the homes and hotels are very small.. to the point where if you go to a hotel, they don't give u ur own bathroom, they have community showers at the hotel and a house for a family of like 6 people is the size of an apartment or something stuff like this i never understand.. why would i want to pay to go to a place that is hotter than tennessee? a lot poorer than tennessee a place that has a lot less space than tennessee a place where i'm more likely to get robbed simply because i am from the states a place that doesn't always have running water in the "bathrooms" a place where shoes and windows are a coveted luxury like why would i want to visit a place that is basically a downgrade from where i already live? see this is how i think: YES, in a lot of places, people live a lot different than us.. and we see that as culture but in a lot of ways i see it as.. we don't live like that CUZ WE DONT HAVE TO with all humility we are blessed here in the states so i've never really understood why people want to go somewhere else that is wack in comparison if i study abroad or travel i want to go somewhere that like.. HAS THE INTERNET and ish u know what i mean? people study abroad and come back and they're like.. "yeah we lived in huts for three weeks and ate frogs and drank goat milk.. isn't that great?" NO!!!! just wanted to get that off my chest
