Very true Dennis ... very true, but until you live amongst a 'foreign' community for an extended period of time, you will only ever be sharing glimpses of that place's realities (as I have come to find out), Often, those nice glimpses mask life's realities there..

It's an interesting appraisal though. Well done for sharing your analysis of your world jaunts.

Hello Dennis … this is Fred … also writing to thank you for choosing to follow me. I really appreciate that, and after checking out your Home Page, I’ve decided to ‘follow’ you too.

So, 'hello' my new friend on Medium.

Nice to meet you.

Note: If you haven’t yet seen the “NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes” (pinned near the top of my home page), you can use the underlined link above.

I wish you well on your continuing writing journey.

Fred
