haha. the last thing i want to do is come off as one of those pretentious kids that think they are soooo righteous and holier than thou. you shouldnt feel like you're shallow, obviously you're not going to be thinking about whats going on in some distant place all the time. and besides, i fully know my own vices and materialistic tendencies - i embrace them, haha.
also: in retrospect (actually, while i was writing it too) this post makes me sound so lame, because its like, how much of an impact could i have in terms of making the world a little better? but i guess i'm an optimist. also, despite all my ambitions, i realize that most of the benefits of my trip went to me as opposed to the people i was visiting and talking to - therein lies the irony. at least i recognize it, i guess.
