We all have military stuff in our backgrounds. They only kept us for a couple of days and then threw us out with no real explanation.
I am fascinated by volcanos. I don't know that I could be that brave myself. Amazing
I find just the thought of that very distressing.India. There were three of us. They told us we were arrested because they thought we were going to Pakistan to train insurgents.
Yes, it was a professional cook. I never thought about how difficult it could be ! What a job and experience that must have been for your brother ! And yes in my imagination it was only on other continents that there were cooks in trains
.If you have more money than we did, you can eat excellent lamb in Iceland. Canned fish was just the cheapest option! Not much vegetables though.
It's definitely worth it. The weather is not easy, so there is a bit of luck involved. I don't know how much work has been done on the gravel roads since I went in 2009. There were quite a few places you couldn't be sure to reach because you needed to cross some streams which would not be feasible if there has been too much rain.
One of my cousin I grew up with is a full time reporter at Radio France International. He got that very coveted place as a specialist of middle east and more precisely Central Asia, in the early 2000. He wasn't an adventurous guy at all and after some years he thought it was getting more dangerous. He had an issue with one of his fixer, and also he made babies, and that decided him to stop. RFI was ditching many employees at the time and he really wanted to stay, but there were not many options. So what did he find in 2017 ? Full time correspondant in Moscow covering Russia, Biélorussie, Ukraine and all of the ex CCCR istan countries . It was wonderful the first years but talk about choosing the wrong place

Yes, they are a wonderful diversion. I find puzzles relaxing and satisfying, and your wonderful chickens make it even better.
That's true, but in my case it manifested as riding my bike in a risky way and squabbling with my Dad
If I'd been there, would I have slithered across a road at nighttime with bullets zipping above just to relieve boredom? I don't think so, but I would have read every book in the hostel and relied upon your good self for news of the outdoors.
And I suppose if the Chief wasn't trustworthy, you'd have known it either intuitively or because the carpet seller would have told you.
You know, the one landscape that genuinely impressed me was the Grand Canyon. One day I'd like to go back and canoe along the river so I can look up at the canyon's magnificence.
Oh! I didn't realise sheep were raised in Iceland! I imagined it was too cold for them.
But I like unexpected problems in the landscape, so I wouldn't mind if I couldn't go any further and had to turn around. The adventure of it would be invigorating.
My friends Louise and Mariusz went there and loved it. They kept to the tourist traps but still had a wonderful time.
You must have inadvertently planned it by seeking adventure and going to "out of the way" places that have little social cohesion.
It was a special moment. The painting also made me thing of mum who was a chronic schizophrenic. Between knowing a little of van Gogh's lived experience and the effervescent colours, she was brought to mind in that moment even though she had died long before.
