I really found it interesting when he was talking to the seniors. I think a few of the ladies they talked to regretted not actually doing more for themselves when they were younger.

Even when i was in University a decade ago you had to meet everyone the traditional way (get drunk at bar/social clubs). I met my wife on a pub crawl (she was a friend of a friend of my cousin) a few years after university, right on the cusp of the social media/texting revolution. I am glad i did as I feel like it would have been one big headache.

About 3 months before this I met a girl at the bar, got her number and then carried on a text conversation for a few days afterwards. A grand total of 8 texts (5 for me and 3 for her) over 2 days. Apparently I was texting her too much and she stopped responding (according to one of her friends). Talk about a headache.

Kids these days do have way more choice and the ease at which you can break off communication/break up with someone really increases the amount of people you interact with. I can see it both working for good and for bad.

I loved the differences between Argentina, Japan and France as well.. but that is probably another topic for later.

A super-confident guy in Japan is living the life ... haha
