Oh, What A World

As Americans, we have this naïve assumption that people all over the world are struggling and way behind us. They’re not. Sweden and South Korea have more advanced high speed internet networks. Japan has the most advanced trains and transportation systems. Norwegians make more money. The biggest and most advanced plane in the world is flown out of Singapore. The tallest buildings in the world are now in Dubai and Shanghai. Meanwhile, the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

A beach in Maldives awash in bioluminescent Phytoplankton looks like an ocean of stars.

I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence.
