If you want to see the world, go on tour with a band.

That's what my professor told me when I was back in college, and he would rave about his experience going on a coast-to-coast tour with a band.

One thing that I remember he mentioned was this idea that back in the 80s when he went on tour, there wasn't such a homogeneity of culture.

It used to be that if you went down south or you went somewhere in the middle of the west, you were not going to get a Caesar salad.

If you asked for a Caesar salad, they would look at you sideways.

But nowadays...

You can not only get a Caesar salad anywhere.

You could probably find a matcha bar.

You could probably find, you know, pho.

Good Mexican food.

You could find anything.

especially Dubai chocolate.

You could probably find it in every store across the country.

And although I think this is great, it's great that we have the ability to experience all of these cultures all in one.

I am not against that.

Growing up where I grew up, I could eat any corner of the world anytime I wanted to.

It was a blessing, right?

But everything has started to feel the same, look the same.

If you are an adult right now and you're kind of getting into this transition of adulthood, you've probably realized that a lot of the apartments that you are being sold to that are pretty expensive because life is expensive, they all look the same.

And it makes you kind of go insane.
