World Travelers

Watching the world cup incessantly (and the World Cup’s official K’Naan song) makes the world seem so much smaller, and everyone so much more similar.

We re-watched another youtube video this morning, “Where the hell is Matt?,” and I remembered how adorable it was. This guy travels all over and dances with random passer-by-ers in each city. Perhaps dancing and smiling is all it takes to speak the universal language – Esperanto really isn’t needed.

And, little reminders that news travels and that the world is all really one big place persist: a co-worker was reading an article about “Deadly Star Wars Lifesavers in the UK” this morning. Another Tanzanian was wearing a cowboy shirt and hat to work.
