At the moment, North Korea looks like a nice place. I, unfortunately, live in a metropolis...and I hate it. Everyone flocks here like flies to ****...it smells like it as well, and the air is crap. I hate it.
Big cities? It's a cop out...once you get used to the conveniance of being able to buy anything with not much effort..you start to see the bad points. Like idiots who think that making noise at night is clever. Yes, I hate it. Idiots in general like big cities...don't know why...maybe a short attention span. I hate it.
We have every nationality here and everyone is trying to turn their patch of dirt to something resembling back home. If you miss your home, why don;t you eff off back there...nobody is forcing you to stay. Yes I hate this effing bastard place.
Why don't I move? Good question...where I would like to move, everyone wants to live there...i.e. far enough outside the city to get out of the dump, but close enough to work and commute. And unfortunately a lot of these bastards have money (a lot of it) and priced everyone out of the market. So we have to suffer...until we can do something about it...and that's why we really work...to get out of this smeg hole.
I used to live in a small and beautiful spa town...I loved it. So instead of going forward...I must be going backwards.
The point of this rambling?....I would prefer living in North Korea to this ****hole. People denounce the simple things in life too easily. Do you know what it's like to never experience REAL darkness at night? I would love to have NO lights in the street... Cars also...it seems like paradise a place where you don't have to sit in a 7 mile tailback...and yes I would ride a bike, if it wasn't so dangerous...you know, 24 people have been killed on a bike here in the past 2 years....that's not to mention the badly injured. Crime...they'll kill you here of you look at someone funny...or drug adicts will kill you for your watch...some will kill you for fun.
So yes...in some ways they are lucky...
