When i went to Jebel Ali there were a lot of buildings that looked like someone blew them the fuck up. half of them gone like OK City.
When I went further into Dubai it was rich as fuck. Literally hundreds of sky scrapers being built. Benz's everywhere. But, it was 130 fucking degrees so they still lose.

Like you said though, going to other countries really puts things into perspective, except Australia, i think that place is better.

and even after looking at the pictures or even GOING there, that real reality wont sink in to alot of people. shit, i admit it sinks in but not to that level where i can fully acknowledge and understand how lucky i am

^^ thats true, I have been to other countries and it doesn't really sink in.
On the other hand, people who have grown up in shit 3rd and 4th world countries don't know any thing else. They have never live in the collagen, botox, appetizer eating, offended of fly soup country we call America.
If you never give a dog a treat he will never want one.

certain places in the world have a certain smell that pictures simply cannot convey.
