    I'm currently sitting on an Island. I'm staying in a house that has a deck with a view on the Atlantic Ocean. I'm surrounded by green and by some sort of farms. One of the locals gave me a basket full of bananas and figs from one of the farms. It will be perfect weather all week.

    In situations like this I wonder why I bother living in an expensive country with constant rain and miserable people. I'm aware things won't be perfect in a place like this either but I'm willing to bet I'd be a bit happier.

      As a British person I can relate.

      Moments like this are bittersweet because you kinda realise how things that make life shitty are unnecessarily shoved upon you an inefficient and oppressive socioeconomic system for the benefit for a tiny minority.

      Yeah, Mediterranean is great. Turkey is great. Dominican Republic is great. I wish I was there.

      Edit: I'm Turkish and Dominican, btw.
