For some reason, that makes me feel uncomfortable and completely unsure of myself tore I can take the healthier and wealthier part, but the happier part really hurts. "I guess maybe there is more of a Wild, Wild, West mentality here in the states" when compared to other countries. I always wanted to live/relocate to "Cape Town, South Africa" myself. (I'm kidding of course).
