Trash fills our cities, but it is nothing compared to what you would see if you were in Jamaica. We are a very overfed and wealthy country that does not see the overwhelming site of famished children and adults all over the places. The experiences in that one-week were very eye opening. I would hate to live in this place of depression, but the vacation part of our trip was very fun filled. Not all people live as well as I have it.
Poverty is ten times worse.
Guys in jeeps with machine guns is something I will never see at home. I now appreciate all the things I have, even though it would be nice to have more, and try not to take anything for granite. It was a very enlightening experience that opened my eyes to the world since not all countries live in wealth as we do. I wish that everybody could visit places like this because it could definitely be an eye opener for those who are selfish. Those people who do not appreciate the technologies and benefits that we have in our country would be grief stricken if they had to spend as little as one hour in this country.
