sounds like a fun trip, i just wish they’d stop making such a big deal of how out-there and unpopulated it will be, how terra nulius and everything. people live and work there, there are towns, petropavlovsk-kamchatsky must have half a dozen fly fishing shops by now. tourists are going fly fishing and snowboarding and volcano watching, scientists are doing research all over the place, locals are going camping and hiking, even surfing a little bit – why don’t they look up edik gabov and ask him where he’s been surfing lately, or the guy who made these videos: http://vimeo.com/26262063, http://vimeo.com/49718726? surfers can really be such irritating people, always going on about how special what they’re doing is. come to think of it maybe that’s the reason they’re pretending there’s no one there, so as not to have to meet irritating people like themselves! gggrrrr… grumble over.
Oh, Al. Stop being so grumpy ha ha They are just being romantic. Also, they want to feel ‘hardcore’. Still, I really want to go here! I’ll skip the yoga though.
