Great public transportation that is CLEAN and super efficient

Cars that have well over 50 MPG that ain't hybrids

Strangers that offer places for you to sleep in. It creeped me out, but someone that lived there informed me that Americans that are open minded are always welcome and it is a kind gesture. I cannot fathom letting a tourist that I never met before sleeping over my crib.

Free education to the PhD level.

Children that all know their biological parents and extended family and none of them are dysfunctional.

Marriage rates that are well over 90% successful and everyone honoring their father (in a black country. Not even white countries are on that wave)

No homeless people

No GMO foods

4 day workweeks that have parties from Wednesday to Sunday night as the norm.

Last trip was to Amsterdam .....I would have to say the overall willingness to use bicycles for travel. I have seen more bikes in my 4 days there than probably most of my adult life :whoo:

Bruh! The amount of bikes in Amsterdam is probably more then the amount of bikes in most US states.

In morroco you can cross busy ass streets whenever you want. The cars stop for pedestrians no matter what

In Tokyo there were homeless tents/camps right outside the metropolitan government building

Great public transportation, that was both clean and always on time.

In Japan and Korea I always found it fascinating when on escalators ppl who didn't want to walk stayed on the right and ppl who wanted to walk stayed on the left. shyt was like a well oiled machine.

Also relatively not as much litter or trash just piled up outside.

I have never seen so many truely happy people with nothing to their names beyond the clothes on their backs and shoes on their feet, as I saw in MOST of the people in the hoods and campos in DR. More so in the campo versus the hoods. But still.

No first world problems, no stress, no misery: as long as there was music, food for the day and a little alcohol, it was a perfect day. I've been all over the country and hung out with people living 7 deep in a 2 room shack that they built on unclaimed land, and they were some of the happiest, spontaneous and fun loving people I have ever met.

the lack of miserable people was astounding to me. I dont know what it is. because a lot of them have been seriously abused by life and have taken major Ls but they cant even begin to see it that way. I think its the faith and fear in god, the community aspect (if you're broke and hungry you can find a meal with a neighbor easily) and the constant sunshine. everyone ive ever encountered down there was really living in the moment and taking their enjoyment of life's basic / free pleasures extremely serious. nothing would dare get in the way of having a good day and eating, drinking and dancing.

even the people i know down there with real day jobs who are grinding it out were like that. their job doesnt run their life ...its just a 6-8 hour break in an otherwise very happy and fun day. I was with a pretty prominant doctor who works hard and they were able to do their morning, come home for a big lunch, go back to work for a few hours, and make it to the beach for the last couple hours of sun...like it was just a regular ass day

compare that with the lifestyle in any major American city :francis:

going anywhere else and seeing how they handle the rat race...or finding out the rat race doesnt even exist...only to come back to the daily grind here is both inspiring and depressing. i strive to take a little of that back with me but after 3 or 4 rush hour commutes its back to normal :francis:
