Leaving the rat race for more cheaper, more graceful living.
Qicat mentioned they were leaving California for North China. I recently listened to a podcast of a woman who'd left New York City for small town Italy, and loved it. A simpler life, no rushing, meeting friends in a cafe, daily after work. Small gatherings around the TV. Simple delicious food, 1/4 the expense. It was an escape from a world of busy and competitiveness.
Who of you have made similar trips? What did you find?
Hoping for stories of the good and bad.
Lol, reminds me of back in the good ole Manifest Destiny days when the "good cop" missionaries were also "trying to do good social work" by converting and "civilizing" (obedience training) the natives...in preparation for their new imperialistic, "bad cop" masters. And with such an effective 1-2 combo of soft and hard power, indigenous cultures, land, men, women, and kids...were all soon LIBERATED!
So heartwarming to see the colonial stepchildren of this great heritage loyally preserving and continuing their hallowed traditions even today! Their legacy lives on!!! *slow clap*
