Re: GTKY: Travel Bucket List
Just a couple thoughts, some not related to travel, from reading all the posts. Although I haven't traveled much internationally...though I did grow up 60 miles from the Mexican border, so that was neat to have strong exposure to a different country's culture...I have traveled a good bit within the U.S.
I think that is one of the nice things about this country is, it is so large geographically, that even traveling within it people will be exposed to different cultures. I always joke that I moved to NOLA from CA, because it was all the fun and excitement of moving to another country...but without all the red tape.
Don't get me wrong, I realize there will be a much bigger difference between a foreign country's culture and the U.S., than between NYC and L.A., however I still enjoy seeing the vast tapestries of differences (in a good way) even within our own country.
On a slightly different topic, it can be hard sometimes to not judge how others spend/earn money. That comment is not directed at anyone on this board. I used to have a coworker who would judge me hard because I like the occasional trip to the casino for my entertainment. But then, I thought it was extremely stupid that she would spend (on average) $600/month on 2-3 Coach handbags. Seriously. Every month. Who needs that many purses, much less expensive ones? But then, I there I go being the one judging, lol. Though, I never expressed my thoughts to her.
One of my dearest friends chooses to be a SAHM and home school her daughter. Except they REALLY can't afford to do that. Paycheck to paycheck, no e-fund. It's hard for me to hold my tongue because I think it is a foolish choice for her not to go back to work when their family is so financially insecure...but I just have to keep reminding myself its not my business and this is what is important to them.
