An introduction

Saludos a todos and thank you for visiting my blog!
     I am using this technology to share my findings as I turn over the cultural rocks of this beautiful, linda city of Los Angeles and more largely, the USA and the world in search of cultural underpinnings.  I seek the seedy, but also the vulnerable.  The lesser-known, the unvoiced, the viewpoints which are rarely uttered out loud.  I want to understand the opinions un-presented by the media and rarely found outside a single neighborhood or an insular worldview.  
     I hope that in sharing my findings I might inspire in you a similar journey, encouraging an adventure you would not normally have dared to undertake, allowing yourselves to revel in a little social discomfort and in doing so foster an empathy for the Other, and facilitate global thinking and universal understanding.  Be a minority, infiltrate and begin to learn about another class, another race, another religion.  Find the wisdom in opinions that are different from your own.  Be a world citizen!  That has long been my mission, and I hope you will enjoy my viewpoints from the road.
Your global hitchhiking amigita,
