I was just looking at the #stats from my @Castopod for the #podcast #audio version of #firesideFedi. I'm blown away at the diversity of folks. I see folks from #Nigera , #Brazil , #SouthAfrica , #Malaysia , #HongKong , #SouthKorea ! And of course #US , #Canada , #EU .
As an American that's never traveled, I can't wait to learn all about everyone, their cultures, their experiences, etc. I'm humbled as well. I'll be honest, if you asked me to point out on a map where these countries were, I probably couldn't. And I feel like I have to do better there. The internet allows all of us to connect and we need to learn as much about each other as we can so we can all learn.
Thank you ALL! <3

#KLIA#Malaysia is a badly designed airport. But not sure the right comparison about terrible #international to #domestic connections is 3 airports that have no domestic flights.
