Why do some people admire Latin American cultures but not want to be from or live in those countries?

I love Latin America, I grew up there but have to admit quality of life is better in the west. There are laws that protect the workers and it’s all together more comfortable, less crime too.

Nah, I’m better far away from all of that. But I really do love it there, as a tourist.

Did you know it’s normal over there to work 6 times a week like 10 hours per day? I love my heritage but in the West I work 5 times a week 40 hours, including lunch. It’s also normal to have 10, 20 minutes lunch.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

Life is just better in the West. The traffic is horrible, the noise never stops and I will repeat myself, the crime. Terrible crime.
