A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
International travel certainly does broaden a person’s perspective. It’s great if your can do it, but anyone acting superior because they can travel is just an asshole.
I enjoy traveling but it does bring a bit of guilt that I have the ability to do it when so many people never will.
Hoping there’s some advancing in vr/ar to provide better cultural sharing and better immigration reception to provide the physical interactions.
I have to wonder if these people are really getting the straight dope anyway, or going to all the tourist spots and being shown what they want to see. They’re definitely not hanging out in a refugee camp if they’re spending that much.

These days, it’s much cheaper to just have international friends online.
