These links were excellent.

I was reminded of when I was 18 or 19, and returning home from travelling alone in Eastern Europe, mostly hiking in the mountains in Romania. I had met and seen so many people with vastly reduced choices compared to me, and been met with everything from adulation to hostility. I remember very vividly the feeling of stepping onto the air-conditioned, clean, quiet, well-functioning train home, and realizing how massively privileged I was.
