I grew up in NOLA as well. Went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya, Hakone.

The subway surpassed any system I’ve experienced. Yes, it’s silent. They definitely shame you as you said.

But way too conforming. And they hate outsiders. You will not be accepted. It’s the same shite over and over. One can argue it’s nice shite. But it’s the SAME shite.

I think people forget about how France fought and what they lost in WW1. Just 20 years earlier.

The senior officials who surrendered in WW2 survived WWI. They remember what happened. 20 years isn’t a long time. That was Katrina long ago.

And Germany comes calling AGAIN

That’s been my experience. I work with a bunch of Japanese for work. They do two year rotation in the States for work.

They are blown away with the variety of life here. What they do back home, they do very well.

But when I take them clay shooting and fishing, they lose their damn minds.

Agreed

Live. Japan would be 1

Can only speak on Japan as I haven’t been to the other two. I understand your point on shame culture and agree there.

But although my time in Japan was some of the best weeks traveling I ever had, I would have trouble living there.

Visiting, yes. Living, no. Not enough variety. I absolutely love the food there, but no variety. I was begging for a burger after week 2.

Culture the same. Zero space anywhere in the cities. It’s all hyper focused on specific ideology.

Have you spend much time there? Where do you keep your boat?

That’s where my heads is at. I’m assuming if you finish top 4 in SEC and get the tourney byes, you will be a national seed.

I agree that not a lock. But I’d be shocked if not. 4-2 is a lock. But I think 3-3 is rather strong. But 2-4…

I don’t like it either. Was boiling crawfish with a few Aggies. I wanted to beat the bubbles so badly.

Does 3-3 down the stretch get a national seed?

It would be interesting to have a conversation with people that have lived in multiple places.

And/or talk about what they love about where they live. Instead of cutting down places they spent a weekend. And never lived.

I absolutely love my weekends in BR and/or NOLA. But living there is not something I want to do after 30+ years.

Everyone I know who lived in Poland left and moved to the US. The speak highly of their home but at the end of the day, they left for the US. And much happier now.

To be fair, this consists of one coworker and one client. So the sample size is small. Haha.

I think you missed the point. The “American dream” is people from any walk of life can have the opportunity to improve their status of life.

The pic you link looks like paradise for a large portion of the underdeveloped world. Now if you were born in that picture and haven’t improved your status of life, well that’s on you.

Your ignorance is showing. Perhaps you only ate at chain restaurants that time you went to Houston. But they have an incredibly diverse food scene and top of the class in a few cuisines.

Houston food scene is incredibly underrated

Nola is the stripper you bang that wild night. Nothing more. You don’t make a home with the stripper. And you shouldn’t make a home in Nola. You visit, get drunk, piss on her and leave.
