    Good morning Tim,
    It’s a beautiful spring morning, just enough crispness that promises warm weather today!
    Your post reminds me we have so much to be thankful for and how we take so much for granted. Last week I had to make a call and the person on the other end was responding to me from the Philippines. This usually frustrates me but that day I was determined to listen more carefully and talk more slowly. My patience was garnered from reading your posts so thank you. You are teaching so much to so many. Good job!

      Hi Rosie, Thanks for the comment. I’m glad that what I’m learning on my travels is helpful to you. I’m writing about it not only to share with others but to remind myself of everything I’m experiencing so I don’t forget these lessons.

    Well written. I often think about this topic too. I always find it interesting that most white skinned people want a nice tan and most dark skinned people cover up to stay as light as possible.

    Certainly gives a lot to think about. Are white women treated the same way? or just the men?

      The white women I’ve spoken to have had similar experiences, but there are also many things women travelers have to deal with that I haven’t.

      Hi Linda, I realized your comments are sometimes going to my spam folder, so I’m checking that every time for them just in case. This one came through as blank, but I know you took the time to write and appreciate it!

    Sad in some respects that there are inequalities everywhere..
    I need to practice not judging others

      Thanks for your comment. I think we all need to practice that – it’s just part of human nature to judge each other.
