Kansas City Wasteland

America has some of the worst neighborhoods I have ever seen.  The class separation that exists in this country is mind-blowing.  Urban centers are continually built up and renovated, while all of the poor are forced to flock to super-slums surrounding the perimeter of these cities.  Kansas City sucks, and this area is terrible.  Every building and business is vacant and boarded up - pretty depressing.  There are some places of the United States I really enjoy, but the whole mid-west isn't too great.

I miss Canada, and Tim Hortons.  I've replaced 'Timmy Ho's' with a frequent visit to the Starbucks in cities across the country (triple-grande soy marble mocha!).  It's a great social activity and very delicious.  Looking forward to the wonderful Canadian eateries once I return.  It will also be nice to cook for myself again.  6 more days remain, and then life will change.  Pizza is here, mmmmm.
