Not many tourists but lots of xpats. I enjoyed the open spaces but like a little more variety of landscape. Now living in a much smaller "local" tourist town with the occasional foreign tourists passing through. Might be the most spectacular place I've called home and sense it is only a matter of time before more tourists find it. To really experience it you have to be healthy and adventurous but even the domestic type find it appealing with a claimed 5 star hotel opening a few years back and many other new nice hotels. Went for a run today up lava rock hills and swam in a pristine swimming hole in the middle of a slab of lava rock. Nobody but me to enjoy it but I occasionally take along my beautiful wife Life can be hard at times but the vast majority of days here don't suck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it so easy for me to quit. I joined an AA group years ago and I got the vibe other members thought I was a fake alcoholic or alternatively just didn't like me. I guess I'm lucky possibly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tourist industry is setup to keep people transitory, drinking & fornicating. The alcohol sales bans are used to keep the locals peaceful. Whoah, terrible news, is there a fornication ban as well? I mean with no booze, a fornication ban, how am I to pass the day? Model Railway may get some attention l suppose! Or have I misunderstood something? Would some kind soul tell me which way the plot went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about are young children & workers. I long for the days when they return to their oil platform for another stint at working (presumably without alcohol.)
