Same reason I spend so much time on the internet. Where else would you get the chance of talking to someone from the other side of the planet? If you ever do visit, please do it in late spring or early autumn. The climate here is a bit extreme, especially for someone from milder ones. (I've always lived here, and you don't pay much attention to -40°C winters and +35°C summers after living with it for a few decades.) It's not that bad all the time, but if you do happen to arrive in the middle of such an event, it's not a fun experience. Nomads were doing the logical thing and moving around with seasons. We, not so much.
