Every time I travel to the third world I am reminded just how much privilege Americans enjoy. Everywhere I go there will be someone who speaks decent English. Everyone is happy to take my dollars. Everything is super inexpensive. The entire world bands over backwards to accommodate me. I will watch some tourists from France or Germany struggle to communicate and I just walk up and talk to the same person with a fairly safe assumption that we can stumble through the language barrier.

For now at least, America is the center of the world. Never forget that.

LOL. "Corporate" does not really exist here. Everything is mom and pop. Yeah, there is a Walmart here but the only people who shop there are stupid ex-pat gringos and rich Mexicans who want to appear American
