The south of france, that is the farthest I have been. I am still planning to go to India sometime, but didn't get it arranged last year.

Beaches and islands are so familiar to me, I don't consider them exotic at all. Exotic to me is somewhere like Japan or India.
Familiarity doesn't ruin the beauty of a white sand beach or a crystal blue sea. Sure it gets boring, but nature's awesome. We also had some wicked forests, but now half of them are burned down.

I never said they weren't beautiful. It's just not exotic.

Exotic is in the eye of the beholder, if you never seen beaches then they are exotic to you. But if you have seen them everyday
they are a lot less exotic.

You know what's exotic to me? Earthquakes. I've never been in one.

Earthquakes are scary. The one experienced most recently made me afraid my house was going to crumble, there was a lot of shaking.

I've experienced about 4 or 5 minor earthquakes. For some reason, Facebook spontaneously explodes after one, with everyone posting about the Earthquake.

Florida doesn't get things like tornadoes or earthquakes, but we do gt hurricanes. And sink holes.

Hurricanes are sucky. I have to remember to charge all my electronics before the power is cut. Then use them sparingly until it comes back.

Only had experienced one hurricane, the one in 2003 I believe. We had a fallen tree down the block and everything!

You're very nonchalant about it, missy. >:I The one time I was in a hurricane, I was huddled in an elementary school cafeteria and watched a giant side window blow out.

Mine was in 2004. We came home from the school to find a tree laying across the avenue just before our house.

Sure is fun living in a place with stable climate and with little seismic activity.

Gets slightly cold sometimes, but I can live with that. Not mind-numbingly cold anyways.

Got to have some benefits when the winter days are so fucking short as they are.

After living in the Caribbean I find American authorities overreact to weak hurricanes. Remember Isaac? That bitch was weak, yet they closed schools for 2 days I think. I remember a hurricane in 1999 destroyed my grandmother's okra tree. We had to buy okras from that day on.

You live in northern Europe, how does it not get mind numbingly cold.

Mine was a Category 4, so it was pretty serious, but yeah, I can see that sometimes. Like Sandy, it wasn't all that powerful, but it struck in a really unusual and unprepared spot, of course.

Living next to the ocean sure helps. Gulf Stream sure helps.

To be honest, it would have to drop below -15 for extended periods to even bother, and below -20 for some period for it to become unusually cold. Of course, inland have it generally colder, but it's not too bad really.

Back in my home town, even during the winter it doesn't usually get below -5-6 degrees. Below -10 is irregular. Of course, I'm further north now, but still. Mild winters is offset by not having rather warm summers though.

Gotcha, true enough. At least you would get light flurries if dropping below -15 would be an issue, cause I would assume -5 is the norm.

It's very variable though. Basically the snow have been melting this week, and most of it have rained away earlier than I expected. Not that I'm really complaining.

It's always funny to see other countries freak out when some snow suddenly falls though.
