28. I'm curious
about what you mean here.

I want to travel all over the world someday. I think I want to graduate from college first, but I've never been outside the U.S. and I've always wondered whether the whole "Land of Opportunity" is really as true as they say.

BTW, I have a friend who went to India to teach English and got married to a beautiful Indian lady who has a wonderful accent. I'm happy for them both. She is going to go to college now, too. Her father wouldn't let her go past a certain level of education, but she's married now and wants to try and her husband is pretty well off.

32. yea, I can see that
I can definitely see that changing the opportunities available.

Do you ever intend to return? I can imagine if you were to become wealthier than you are now here, and then returned to India, would you not be even wealthier?
