Alright, so this post comes a little late, but honestly I've been feeling very pessimistic lately and it's been preventing me from wanting to write because I'm afraid that some of my pessimism might come across in my blog posts. Well, my thoughts are getting in the way of me focusing on my homework, so I'm just going to take the time to get it all out. That's what these experiences are supposed to do, right? Get you thinking and seeing your world in a different way. I'm afraid that even after having traveled abroad before, I'm still experiencing reverse culture shock. I'm unhappy with how many overweight strangers I see and upset with myself for driving my car. I'm going slightly insane I think, but I'm going to do my best to explain the photos below, taken during my Slow Food Youth Network Think Tank day, a full day spent with other Slow Food Youth members to work in groups to solve a problem. Our problem? Solving the rural-urban gap.
