4horsemen Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 great thread, good to see that people are trying to understand different cultures. After reading rocinhajj post i have to say that nomatter where you live or how you live, there will always be ignorant people. People that have a good heart and mean well will always find each other. I have been to so many country's and I have always found good people to talk too and hangout with, that' not saying that I never met an asshole. Yes there will always be some people that just has hate in their heart. I hope this thread educates some of you dickhead graff fags and opens your minds. One thing I noticed when traveling to other countries is that I tried not to speak english to people cause everyone hates americans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILONE/SK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 One thing I noticed when traveling to other countries is that I tried not to speak english to people cause everyone hates americans! Everywhere I have been, everyone is cool with Americans and I know that I have been told a few times in different country's that they like us, but not our politics. It is all in how you act as a person. One time there was a protest the next day and I was sitting at a bar in Italy with my wife and there were a ton of protesters in the bar with us. We all chilled and there was no problems. Everyone was cool. BTW, they were protesting us having US Military over there and more then likely they knew I was a Soldier. Next day I went to work as a Soldier and they protested me, nothing personal. You should never be ashamed of who or what you are. Speak English and be proud of being an American, Some people would kill to be where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawood Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did some travelling of my own. It's refreshing to travel to other countries, especially countries without as many priveleges as the US (and other western countries) have. I took a lot of picture while I was overseas of egypt and in Saudi Arabia. Maybe I'll start a thread about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TresOne Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've always wanted to do what Pfffft did, and go see the favelas in rio.. they've fascinated me for years. I've spent quite a bit of time throughout South East Asia, and I can say the same for the slums that I've seen. In Bangkok, there will be some massive office tower of a multi-million dollar corporation, and literally across the street, it's all massive slums. But the people are (seemingly) so happy - they make the most of what they have in life, however little that may be. Then you get back to western civilization and see how completely ass-backwards life is. Everyone pisses and moans about what they don't have, they never appreciate what they DO have. Ridiculous.

Milk Grenades Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 don't know if this was already mentioned, but from my understanding, most if not all favelas are run by drug traffickers, right? and people may or may not choose to live in one because they receive protection and community advantages? there's a vice dvd where they travel to the favelas. interesting, but short.

ERIZENO Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thank you rocinhajj. It is so refreshing to get a taste of a place in the world so foreign to most of us who are sitting behind a computer in relative saftey and absurd comfort. (however that 2 liter/tape arm chair did look comfy) Good looks on getting a thread going for this seeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
