I’m feeling like a princess. It’s kind of funny—I feel like I’m doing “cultural immersion” in my own country. I’ve been wandering into places I once ignored or even avoided. The backstreets, the tiny alleyways, the corners that seemed too ordinary to matter. One turn leads to a hole-in-the-wall eatery, another to a wall of graffiti that looks like accidental art. It’s like discovering a whole new world, but it was right here all along, just waiting for me to pay attention.
