It could be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KZZ2au6i4zQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">small town Texas<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bskffXGviDI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buc-ees<\/a><\/strong>, big American cities like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ykl2TAStEZw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NY <\/a><\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LYW-vcFdzmA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago<\/a><\/strong>, or, as in the video below, American gun culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching the wonder in these sisters&#8217; eyes as they experience America &#8211; and freedom &#8211; is truly heartening. As they said in one of the videos, they couldn&#8217;t choose where they were born but now they are free to choose how they live. Sometimes it takes an outsider&#8217;s eyes to open our own eyes to what we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XtjydPAqN84?si=rantJnhfU5pWRy4J\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stumbled across a YouTube channel today featuring two sisters who are defectors from North Korea.
