For me it's the uniquely American parochialism of these type of articles that grates: 'Hey look guys, I found out that there is actually a world outside America, and in this strange exotic world there are places, and people, and even things!!!!'
- throwaway427 8y agoBizarre comment, the entire world does this to the rest of the world all the time. It tends to be called travel writing.
- hugofirth 8y agoYeah this article isn't that so hackles down. Its someone writing a charming description of a tradition which is most likely completely unknown to their target audience. Also - the fact that Americans have not taken the time to find out what a Bothy is before now should cause no great offence to anyone. I'm a brit who lived for around a decade in Northumberland and although I know the word bothy I certainly have never seen one.
