First, for 3 days I will be living as a monk at a Buddhist Monastery.
A part of that means waking up at 5:00am. Oh, joy. Some vacation hey?

fall victim to the illusion that:
you are not enough
you are lacking something to fulfill you
you are superior to anyone

Four film makers traveled to 14 different countries and asked local residents what they thought of america, how they viewed american citizens, and what they thought could be done to change for the better.
