21 Things I Observed When Traveling Overseas

1.  Some airlines check your passport 7 times before letting you board. This is no    exaggeration. 2.     Some airports have men standing throughout with machine guns. 3.     Getting stamps in your passport is a new ink addiction that I didn't know existed. 4.      Some Grecian men like curves. 5.     People are friendly. These people are no longer "over there". These people are created in His image just like me. These people have the same emotions I do. I know this may seem like a "duh" moment, but it was a very real and sobering time for me. Too often I get caught up in this world here that I forget there's a big world out there full of people just like me.  6.     Big bills and no change--The ATM only gives you big bills. But the merchants only want small bills. It's very confusing and frustrating. Spending money that looks like this is fun for some reason...
