I just returned from a trip to China. Flying from Shanghai and landing into JFK gave me the distinct impression of leaving an advanced country (immaculate transportation, well-behaved citizens, extraordinary service standards, polite English) to a third world country (USA) riddled with rude employees who do not speak good English, ill-behaved crowds, and filth everywhere.

Sorry, but it's very true. Many cities like New York and even areas like South Florida no longer resemble the United States nor is representative of Americans.

When my Morena Latina wife and I moved from South Florida to Arizona, we had a major culture shock. People were wonderful to us. Service was/is outstanding to us. Going to restaurants yielded uniformly excellent service. It took almost a year to get used to people being nice to us.

That was when it struck me that when I had moved out of SoFlo to Arizona, I had moved back to America.

There's no other explanation for it.

Even the kids, raised in tropical weather their entire lives love Arizona and don't want to live in South Florida even if they had the choice to return.

This is HUGE (I'm series?) coming from me...

Arizona is my home and I am proud to live amongst such wonderful people.
