Worldly

Haven't written in 2 days. You know what is a challenge coming back home for a while that I wouldn't have thought would be a challenge. Now that I am "worldly" I notice the differences between Americans and other countries and I try to point them out to people (even my family) and people get upset by the comparisons. For instance, sometimes I say "That's a very American thing to do" (Buy the newest and best thing all the time, live outside of our comfort zone with credit cards, aggressively drive, healthy foods being expensive or anything) and people get really offended by that. It is interesting because although people say that they are patriotic. I don't think our country is. We believe we are the best, that doesn't make us patriotic.
