Ok, I may have the best view just outside my window (zig zag mountains, fishing river right by me and an authentic fishing village next to it with men in long boats and triangular straw hats...) BUT I miss normal life!! I miss bars, noisy cars and ethnic food restaurants. I could go on and on but I already did that before in an earlier article so I'll just get to the point.
