Right now, I cannot visit these places, yet often find myself staring at their beauty, watching people halfway around the world scurry across plazas from work to home to the restaurant to the barber shop to the grocery store. As perverse as this may seem, it is nice to be reminded (in relatively real time) that all of these other places exist, that people inhabit them, and that one day I may also be there, with them. It also serves as a reminder to appreciate what I have in my immediate environment, for it too has its own beauty and value.
