RE: Montville, Australia: Nice, but can't imagine enjoying staying there
Wow, gorgeous pictures. Every time I see the green like that it makes me realize what a miserable urban jungle is it that I live in. That is a fantastic view in the first image.
That's too bad about the trash in Thailand. I have noticed that this is an issue in a lot of countries where there is a lot of poverty. It's such a sad thing. It is a combination of culture and really poorly managed government that spends lavishly on itself and leaves the rest of the country to fend for itself. I get that feeling when I spend a lot of time in Mexico as well where I lived for several years.
yeah, but there seems to be a tradeoff. I am in Australia right now and there are friggin rules for everything. Tons of them, all the time whereas Mexico and Thailand have very few.
Yeah, where I lived in Mexico, the closest police station was a 2 hour drive. A lot of areas are kind of self governed. People do ok for the most part as long as the drug cartels don't show up.
