Besides Serge, I'm much younger than you. I can only imagine the places I will have seen by the time I'm your age.
How much of the world had you seen at 34?

Joe, sorry to rain on your parade, but your are NOT MUCH YOUNGER than me,
you are only 13 years younger
;-)))
by 34 I've seen:
USSR and 7 of it's satelite republics, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Italy, Israel, Canada and few islands, and 28 states in the Union, not much.
The only excuse I had was:
I was 22 years old when I came and finding myself/proper work/business was very high on my agenda, I didn't have the bank acount or back pack to rely upon. Me and my shadow were my only earthly posessions.
Don't get me wrong, I do not play down your experiences,
just pointing out the obvious:
I am in MUCH better shape to throw stones at those who never left their counties,
and I chose not to. If you think about for a second,
Hieronymous Bosch NEVER left his VILLAGE,
and did it stop HIS creativity?

I wish ALL of us had 1/100 of the vision of the world he did. So far,
only Liberals and Bush haters see the world with Bosch's eyes

and 100%, not 1/100th
