I just think it is amazing that we still feel pretty ordinary and live what feels to be a pretty ordinary life, yet others consider it an adventure to visit us. Bizarre what you can get used to, hey!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882558757262419263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-37278348853927640342010-12-27T22:25:30.447+09:002010-12-27T22:25:30.447+09:00They're all adventures!

Maybe it's about "control" as well. When you go camping or even snow skiing, you still have a fair degree of control over what happens, when it happens and how it happens. Go overseas and there are lots of things you cannot control. <br /><br />By the way, I love that the boys consider Tokyo "home".

Interesting. I think I'd rate them the other way. By the way, we have running water, shops down the road and a roof over our head. They don't need to bring their own food, water and shelter with them. We even have two flush toilets! And it isn't as dangerous as taking up skiing, either.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882558757262419263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-85337432689564402872010-12-27T18:54:46.411+09:002010-12-27T18:54:46.411+09:00I was going to say the same thing...I think it'...I was going to say the same thing...I think it's the idea of a whole different culture that people think is adventurous. I know that I would see it that way.<br />Or maybe it's because they are travelling much further away from home than the coral island?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213944904796774622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-79257141950203618272010-12-26T20:51:01.097+09:002010-12-26T20:51:01.097+09:00I don't think it's visiting the Marshall&#...I don't think it's visiting the Marshall's that is so adventurous, but rather the whole idea of leaving one's own country and going to another one where you cannot speak or even understand the language. I think adventure is about getting out of your comfort zone, and it would definitely be an adventure for me to visit Japan! Thailand - OK, Cambodia is home, but Japan - that's a bit scary! Hope both you and your visitors enjoy their adventure when they have it.KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.com
