a foreigner isolated in a small asian country. what happens when you grow up in the richest country in the world and you intentionally remove all that is familiar, all that is comfortable, all that you know. you learn.. everything you know is wrong! and you have been brainwashed by the familiar. what does 30 years of tv and radio and all you can eat and bigger is better do to you? it turns you into a consumer! consume becomes your unspoken motto from morning to nite. and if you dont believe it, and you live in a rich country, try one week with no electronic contact. can you do it? well, it sure wasnt easy for this pilgrim.
