As an aside; one thing that was kind of sad was seeing little groups of street children. The US has a fair share of poverty but generally you don’t at least see little kids living on the street.

I like going abroad, I like doing it from a comfy seat in the back and going for a week.

you’re just as tired doing a long domestic day with a long duty day. Come home from work. Crash that night. Boom no more work for weeks. Both have pros and cons but 3 nights of messed up sleep? Nah. You’re on a 24-30 hour layover not a 90 hour layover where you get acclimatized to their time zones like your vacations
