Having a mote con huesillos on a hot Chilean day. A more simplistic way of life. The less jaded population. Seeing the Andes every day on the metro.

Having a mote con huesillos on a hot Chilean day.

A more simplistic way of life.

The less jaded population.

Seeing the Andes every day on the metro.

How giving up one’s seat on the metro or bus for an elderly person or pregnant woman was just, what you do.

How people aren’t consumed by technology and still rely on face to face interaction.

Appelflappen after a long hard day Being able to call just one more place home Being able to feel secure and safe while alone Exploring little towns that no one has ever heard of Getting lost and not knowing the language Being forced into looking at life from a different angle Being forced into learning a new language The love of my life. The feeling you get when you start seeing things that you have never seen before.

Appelflappen after a long hard day

Being able to call just one more place home

Being able to feel secure and safe while alone

Exploring little towns that no one has ever heard of

Getting lost and not knowing the language

Being forced into looking at life from a different angle

Being forced into learning a new language

The love of my life.

Food. Every week is a new adventure in culinary delights. Tea houses and tea stations. I can't imagine life without either. The scents, tastes, and sights of Asian night markets.

I think I spent at least a third of my total time in Japan in supermarkets. How about grilled bananas dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles? Or fried bananas with cream cheese? The possibilities for bananas alone are endless. Great insights everyone! Keep 'em coming. @ Tom – I forgot about supermarkets!
