Nigerian guy here(3rd world country). I hope America gets better & better but always be grateful for the things you have that others don't👍

[riliemorgan]

I'll never forget the Vietnam immigrant who ordered a hotdog when he first got to America. After receiving his dish, he returned it saying, "Not this part. No. No. Not this part."

I've been teaching at international schools around the world for almost 20 years, and yes, it has given me the insight to realize that the U.S., with all of its problems and issues, is an incredible place to live.

“I can go to any sink in America” Flint Michigan: “Am I a joke to you”

[eastafrika]

It is such a huge relief whenever I come back to my country Kenya from western countries or Eastern countries. Kenya is safe, has clean water, the food is healthier and trasport is everywhere, not to mention the women are fantastic.

When you grow up with nothing
You appreciate so much more of what this country has.
And I grew up here
People's complacency IS a problem
Drives me crazy man

He gets it. I went to Vietnam in 1992. I tell you, I came back with a TREMENDOUS appreciation for the US.

[ericschroeder]

While on active duty in the USMC (1989 - 1995), when returning from any deployment (Desert Shield/Desert Storm, etc), I would literally kiss the ground when I got off the plane or ship. Since then, whenever returning from abroad, I am always grateful to return to the USA. This guy is spot on.

I see a few people in the comments are taking his words out of context. He’s not saying that the United States is better than any other country. He’s just highlighting the fact that there are opportunities and luxuries in America that are not available entirely elsewhere. And by traveling the world and coming back home he’s able to appreciate those differences a whole lot more. Every country has something admirable about it but also has small cultural differences that may seem strange or inconvenient when you’re not used to it. In the end it all comes down to the person.

[ManagerMatt]

I been to 76 countries, I can think of less than 10 where I thought “I’m glad to be back”..

[mikeliterus]

That is the 3rd time I have heard that Congo is the worst place on earth. I had an ex-Marine tell me that and and ex-army guy working as a security contractor tell me that as well.
They said that everything in the country kills you. From the snakes, to the bugs, to the people, to the parasites. The Marine told me that they were their on a U.N. peace keeping mission and he said when they were departing, his entire unit had to stand on the airfield and take off all of their clothes and put new uniforms on and leave anything made out of cloth on the ground. Because there were parasites in the dirt that would infect your clothing and they could not bring that back to the U.S.

[tomotr]

I am working in the DRC(Congo) at the moment, from the UK. Not a shitty place. underdeveloped - yes. Poor - yes. Shitty - no. The people are great and when you see what the US, UK, French and Belgians did to this country to keep it destabilised so companies could come and exploit. He has a very dismissive outlook on countries!

[iali]

He hasn’t been to Flint, Michigan. Water there has lead.

[rasmusrasmusson]

I'd like to point out that China in 2002 and 2022 are two very different places (having lived there at both times).

[GodMovesAllThings]

But the US is terrible compared to the likes of Scandinavia and Western Europe because of the poverty. When I travelled around US I couldn’t get over how bad the homeless
problem is and the general economic divide. Many people in the US have nothing and I felt there’s a dog-eat-dog mentality. I’m sure Americans don’t notice is this because it’s what they’ve always seen but it’s shocking to an outsider.

[jaymartinez]

For me it’s exact opposite. Every time I travel overseas, I realize how refreshing it is to leave the United States. The most depressing part of my trip is returning. Your financial punching power exceeds what it is in the US in many countries. Try it for yourself and see what works for you. Additionally, I always feel healthier when I eat overseas because the food is not loaded with preservatives, seed oils, and all types of general shit that should not be in the food but is in the United States to maximize profit and shelf life.

[Me-vljl]

I lived in China for a year - eating dog is not "common"

It's actually seen as disgusting / taboo by most educated and middle class people.

It's more common in the south of china, but still not common. Most normal people think it's gross and many people keep dogs as pets.

[sorde]

Left Portland a decade ago. No regrets. Very interesting place, but Oregon govt is unhinged.

[imunchienandalusia]

that's how i felt after my time in the Navy. I loved traveling and seeing other places, especially in my early 20s but God i was so glad to be back in the states when i got home.

[fredbarnes]

When I've been to the USA, I've been told NOT to drink the water ⚠️
