What an odd question.

In one hour he could make more than what Vietnamese people make in one month…

Such a sweet family. I really enjoyed visiting with him, and it was sure an eye-opening experience.

That’s interesting. You’d think a roof would be more highly valued than a satellite dish. I saw something similar in the Philippines. They lived in VERY humble bamboo huts on stilts but had satellite TV. I found that curious. Of course, I guess a bamboo house is much cheaper to maintain, rebuild, and expand, but . . . so fascinating.

I love how travel puts things into perspective. Each place has affected me in some different way. I’ve learned so much, and my interactions with locals are some of the most priceless moments.

Traveling and seeing different parts of the world and how people REALLY live puts things into perspective and can and should help you appreciate things – even the bad. Driving through a small town in Brazil gave me a new appreciate for roofs. Seemed everyone had a satellite dish and TV but no roof. When I got home – in a rain storm – I was thankful for something I never really gave a second thought to before.

Feel sorry for their tough lives but I’m sure it meant a lot to him that you listened. And we are really blessed. Our trivial problems are nothing compared to real tough issues that others face.
