you are comparing a visit w/living there... my home is there, my bed is there, my recliner is there, my computer is there... my friends and family are there... We were raising a kid who I would pick up at school every day... lunch w/friends in town, afternoon nap and foot massage simultaneously... and since there was not much English spoken, I can now speak Thai w/relative fluidity.. not boring at all...
If I visited for a day or two, I might have been bored too...
