It just never quite registers with me that I'm in the 2nd world. I mean, I have electricity, running water, heat, air conditioning, fiber optic, cell phone service, super markets, motorways, a car, there is no war brewing, there are no mass shootings, ever, no serial killers. The food here is real, most people speak more than one language, there are three international airports, a really good train system. Longer life expectancy than the US. Access to medical care. What is it that I'm missing???
