I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and what they had to say about the US. One family I met from Queensland, Australia flew into Los Angles last March and bought an RV to do a walk-about. He met his wife when he was a teacher in Vietnam and they now have a 5 year old boy. It was very interesting to learn about life there so many years after the war. One of the things he wanted to talk about was he didn't understand why the US government spends some much money on defense. He questions why his country follows the US lead in these wars for the last several years. Being a teacher he thinks the US would be way a head in the world if we would have spent that money on education. I couldn't disagree with him so we moved on to other subjects. That little family will head back to Los Angles in December, sell their RV and fly back to Queensland for Christmas.
I talked to another guy and his wife from Belgium. They bought an RV a couple of years ago and come over here a couple of times a year. He has his own business so he can afford it. He said Europe is so crowed everywhere you go and here in the US it is so vast with wide open spaces. They love it as do I.
