So I have been out of the country for a few days and have found it to be the best of character studies. Here are my findings.
First: People are seriously. pretty much the same no matter where you go. I have been riding the subway system in Madrid and haven't noticed much of a difference between the people I see in New York, LA, or San Francisco. Same people, different country. It's wild!
Second: People of certain nationalities do seem trapped in a time capsule. I can't tell you how many times I saw people wearing the parachute style, low riding crotch, MC Hammer pants. Seriously, I though those died in the 80's. But here I am witnessing their come back first hand. WOW!
And Third: It's great to see amore in all ages and stages when you walk around an unfamiliar city. It truly is a universal language. Sometimes it brings a smile to our face when we see two people so in love, sometimes it brings a jealousy, but no matter how you see it it's just nice to know it exists no matter where you go.
So inspiration is out there in different places, with different people, but always flourishing. I have a lot of new and fun characters to pull from now thanks to this excursion.
