I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

    I’m American and I have to agree with you. I’m so thankful I was brought by parents that loved to travel and explore. Oftentimes when talking about different countries and cultures to my friends they seem disinterested and I’ve even been called anti-American or snobby. I know many people that say they will never nor do they have any interest in traveling outside of America. My own brother and nephew act shocked when I mention traveling outside the country and they give me this whole “if you don’t like it here then leave” attitude. It’s mind boggling.

      Oh god mentioning you’ve traveled = snobby is such a thing in the US. Ironically it’s always among people who are absolutely affluent enough to have done the same. All of my friends with Disneyland annual passes think I’m a snob for having been to countries where a hotel room costs $10/night.
