(Bhodisamaya, what are you complaining about? So your place is small---BUT YOU LIVE IN PARADISE! Mmm...mangoes.)
Fabrice, I'll take you canoeing in the summer in Algonquin Park.

We have some of the cleanest drinking water anywhere. The parks all have public showers (if waterfalls are too cold for you) and bathrooms. It never gets too hot or cold at night so you can sleep naked on the beach. Hitch-hiking is safe for getting anywhere you want to go.bodhisamaya Wrote:You guys have great karma with those nice homes!

I was born and raised in Wisconsin all my life, and I HATE cheese. Like, we're talking dai-flipping-kirai here. So I guess I'm just stuck out in the cold all by myself
...(maybe I can import some natto or something...)

bodhisamaya Wrote:Okay, the cheese thing is complicated. I do like normal pepperoni and/or sausage pizza, as long as it doesn't have too much cheese. As for plain cheese pizza, though, I'd rather eat a bowl of cardboard. However, I did surprise myself with the natto. My host family was just waiting for me to be at typical amerikajin (or person in general, even some Japanese hate the stuff) and nearly barf the moment it touched my mouth. But...I loved it. It's a bit sticky. But...it's a tasty sticky. Tasty, that is.igordesu Wrote:You hate cheese (pizza!) and love natto?

The spot in my picture is a few miles away from the main public beaches and you have to trek a few hundreds yards to get to it so most people don't bother. From the standpoint of that pic there is probably another 100 yards of beach/dunes behind me that is just as white. If you notice the little specs in the distance that is actually dune grass growing because it's just that uncrowded all the time.
