I've personally backpacked most of States when I was back stateside I took time to go to blovia /Brazil and places of that nature has anyone who has also travlled abroad noticed that most people are in say south american Spanish speaking countries have so Much less then us yet are the most wonderful humble people you would ever enctour .I lived with some French and Jordanians in my time in Europe when I was in Frankfurt .Just want to gather other peoples thoughts on this subject may the force be with you all .

people are people all over. I've met plenty of humble rich folks and plenty of humble poor folks both in the states and through central America on my travels. But I must say, hospitality is a BIG thing in their culture down there. Especially when it comes to food

As I always say the less you have the more happy and giving that you are I'm not by any means rich comfortable yes rich no I still give back every Sunday like clockwork I buy the homeless donuts and coffee karma goes a long long way
