And we saw yes a lot of beautiful wonderful things but also incredible amounts of poverty, wealth disparity, lack of education.

I can still count on one hand the number of countries where we could actually drink the tap water.

And we also saw glaciers. we could actually drink the tap water.

And we also saw glaciers that have receded

many hundreds of meters.

We saw lakes and rivers that are drying up

or being dammed and how that's affecting the livelihoods of the people around those bodies of water.

So I think it gave me the perspective that I should not be upset at what President Trump is doing.

I should try to in my own way bring attention to or think about or work towards solving the bigger issues that I saw out there.

Hello and

I am back state side,

I am your host Bill Yang and I am back state side,

although I'm coming to you from Utah.

Just a few days removed from my trip to

Shamani and UTMB before, yeah I'm here before getting off to Boulder

Colorado for a few days tomorrow and then merc mercifully, back home in LA for the foreseeable

future.

It's been a busy summer, and as we wind our way into fall, there would be a lot of office and post-production time and a return to more of my routine which is welcomed at this point.

Because I'm not quite a lie, it's been a rough adjustment between jet lag and travel the past couple of weeks,

the past few weeks actually, but listen, it's still my preferred way to live, to do what I love, to see the world, to meet so many of

you wonderful people.

I really love it all.
