TIME TO GO INTERNATIONAL

Travel, Employment & Basic Survival

Documenting my post-college life (at the ripe old age of 55) as I venture into the unknown during a time of economic, social, and environmental upheaval. Hopefully, I’ve also managed to include some useful information along the way.

I've Got My Trifecta - Yerevan, Armenia - July 4, 2022
Everybody needs to decide for themselves, but I just thought I'd throw my own selection out there just so people can get a sense of what they might want to lookout for.

A SMALL SAMPLING OF AMERICA:

Teacher! Teacher!...Where are you from?

When there are no words...

¿Qué Pasa, USA?: Episodio 2 (Ay Abuela)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Rk9j3apcg&t=1319s

Why this episode?

I can't recall if it was a joke or just a general sentiment I stumbled across, but apparently, the Cuban attribute of respecting elders seems to strike other latin groups as absurd or humorous.

Maybe it's just respecting FEMALE elders that strikes them as amusing. - If I recall correctly, I believe they DID specify "Abuelita".

So...if displaying respect for your own society is a particularly Cuban attribute...

Well, then...

The final days...

I used to listen to the news on the radio...

I needed to know how all this was going on...

OMG - People's perception of reality...

A constant bewilderment for me.

The big bang theory-Sheldon gets robbed.. again

Absolute fan.

Again, my final days back in the States...

I don't know if ANYONE is just a passive witness to the open hostility anymore.

Complete strangers would actually walk up to you.

They may or may not SAY anything...but, yeah, things like that were actually happening.

This episode?

A VERY cleaned-up version of the general atmosphere.

I suppose I should specify my locale. -> Houston.
