Life in Argentina post Europe

*I'm not here to judge or criticize any one's life style. Observations help me analyze my own and see what needs changing.

I feel like I've always been faced with the dilemma that many rich kids (probably) face. I can imagine how it feels to have a friend with less money brag about an object that they have that isn't really worth much. It's not that it doesn't mean anything, it just doesn't make sense to brag about it in front of someone who has more (as superficial as it all is). Likewise, I always become uncomfortable when someone brags about how good their society is, how bad the next person's is, and how everyone should live like them. Traveling through Europe (and other parts of the world) has shown me that there are so many more ways to live life that really seem to work. If anything: fast is good but not always the best, on time is cool but not always fun, big does not equal better, and a humble attitude is everything.

Being back in Argentina has brought up a strange kind of homeish feeling. The sidewalks in Buenos Aires look exactly the same as in Jujuy and Salta. Go figure.
