Stephen, your comment on how some people seem to live their entire life in one area and unlike us in the US, seem less interested in the hustle and bustle of diversification is not so unusual, especially in isolated areas. You would think that in this "global" world, all share the same views, or at least similar views. I know when i first came to Tucson, there were several Mexicans that i worked with who lived thier entire life in the 1 sqaure mile of "little Mexico" i.e., the Barrio, in down town Tucson. I remember talking to 1 girl and asking her if she ever saw snow or a pine tree, considering Mt. Lemmon was only 45 minutes away, but she never had, and she must have been about 40. Her entire life was to go to work and then back to that 1 square mile, where her entire family and extended family had lived for more then 50 years and she had no desire to see anything else except that little area of Tucson. So i think in some ways, what you are seeing is more common then others might be aware.
