When you've been living with the same amazing scenery for two years, it just stops being quite as amazing.
You definitely make a good point, though, in that there's probably something out there that he could be doing. Problem being it probably won't involve many other people, as there just aren't any nearby (particularly any that share his interests), which seems to be his most significant problem.
- bemmu 14y agoIt keeps being amazing still, and going to those scenic places is our main weekend activity. I volunteered as an english conversation partner for a while, so that was a way to get a bit plugged in. I ended up meeting some of those people later, so there was some success there. Teaching English is not something I'm interested in doing all that much though.
- obviouslygreen 14y agoWell, I'm glad to be wrong in this case. ;)

For prehistoric man, I'm sure this helped a lot." We crave change in some parts of our lives. It's like in marriage, do one "exciting" activity with your partner every week and your happiness goes way up. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/opinion/sunday/new-love-a-short-shelf-life.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/opinion/sunday/new-love-a-...
