Change and continuous deformation of logic and perspective

I am wrapping up a long adventure, which took place all over Asia. Tomorrow I return to the US, and I can't say that I'm happy about that! However, the details describing my journeys are immeasurably interesting, and I leave a very satisfied man. But there is still a burning sensation of non-accomplishment serving counterpart to all that I've achieved...
I very much enjoyed my visit to Bhutan. The country is best described as similar to an 'extreme hills forest' biome in Minecraft. The mountains, similarly, are spotted with tiny villages spaced rather uniformly and at only a small displacement from one another - often no more than a single kilometer.
Hawaii and Thailand have been anything but enthralling. Hawaii (at least Oahu, to be accurate) is, quite literally, a tourist TRAP. Since Hawaii is an island, let us envisage that the ocean itself is a wall of its own. Well, guess what? A literal fence serves to enclose all visitors from wandering the natural environment freely! A fence actually blocks you from visiting any undeveloped territory. And guess what's printed on signs affixed to the fences? "NO TRESPASSING. PROPERTY OF US GOVERNMENT. VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED" (or something on this order!) I have NO respect for American power or influence, and I'll burn my passport when I can finally secure citizenship elsewhere. First, I'll shit on every page, but that's just an added measure of symbolism incidental to its final fate.
And the prices! Holy fuck, I thought Times Square was as high as any business could go in the art of swindling... boy, was I wrong! Honolulu takes every cake in the history of baking. I'll spare you all the intricate details, but I shall here caution that you all take measures to avoid Hawaii unless you're of the 1%. If you have millions of dollars, and like being treated like a slave owner or a king, then I strongly recommend it.
Thailand is only slightly more tolerable - and for many of the same reasons, indeed. People do not know the meaning of "NO" in this country. People will ceaselessly and with great effort solicit you for prostitution, transportation... you name it. Street vendors follow you as puppies follow their mothers if they catch one look of your foreign appearance. It's all about the ฿ in Thailand. Seriously, your life is determined on a metric of wealth. You are a human being so long as you have money here. Once you run out, you become, for all intents and purposes, dead. Have you ever visited Japan, and there experienced a great difficulty getting by with English? Multiply that specific difficulty by a hundred billion billion billion for Thailand. NOBODY speaks ANY English (not even yes, no, or hello)! That assessment isn't entirely fair, nor accurate - I like to use hyperbole a lot, in case that fact hasn't caught your attention - the taxi drivers ALL speak English, and they use is as a weapon of mass annoyance! Otherwise, I've entirely relied on gesture and body language to communicate any rudimentary message whatsoever.
I'm glad to be leaving Thailand, but not particularly happy to be returning to the US. I'll merely enjoy seeing friends and family, but beyond this exists nothing but good cause to leave.
