Man, your comments are why Steem needs a "laugh" button like Facebook has.

I date an ex-model, I've taught in five countries (my alumni are on Dean's Lists ranging from Harvard to Tulane) and visited eleven (and not one of them was in Europe), I've taken part in five rebellions and crushed two, jumped out of planes, charged into burning buildings to pull people out, published a novel, and seen the sunrise from the summit of an active volcano then blitzed down the slope to avoid getting caught in the eruption.
I've got zero regrets about any "missed opportunities," except for the years I wasted in a barbaric shithole like China, educating arrogant brats in the most racist society in Human history. Fortunately, I didn't spend the Chinese stretch of my life laboring under a delusion that my host country was civilized, as you clearly have. I took the opportunity to learn what the Shi-Na Minzoku were really about, and I have taught more about that rock-banging hive of vermin than you will ever learn.

Anyway, keep going kid. The way you weave and wind from topic to topic with nothing threading it together except junior-high one-liners is giving me some damned fine material.
