It’s been 40 years since I was in this part of the world, and I’m reminded that nature abhors a vacuum: Europeans came here and disappeared the “Indians”, now actual Indians are back. In numbers.

Niiiice. Golden's a great place for skiing in the winter, I hear. Old friend used to be a ski bum there.Indian ppl generally appreciate natural places more than other cultures I've lived in. (I'm of Indian heritage btw.) There's a mountain in Switzerland that's over-run with Indian tourist because it fits within the venn diagram of spectacular nature and bollywood: https://www.utracks.com/Blog/mount-titlis-bollywoods-favourite-swiss-mountain
The quiet waterfalls in my hometown are packed every weekend these days with Indian ppl appreciating the hell out of nature. :Hello:

There's a place not far from us, Stepping Stones in Dovedale. We went last year mid-week and it was quiet AF. Next time we went it was a weekend and the whole place was heaving. Very popular with Indians who were 90% of the visitors. I don't know why this place specifically, as it's in countryside in the middle of nowhere and all the villages nearby are tiny, populated by white old folks. It just seemed like a bit of a pilgrimage.God I sound old and white. But it was just surprising to see such a concentration and be in a very small white minority in a place so typically British. There are the usual complaints on the internet about freestyle parking and littering but this is a trait common to every culture when the facilities do not match the audience.

Would love to see Hope, B.C. - Where "First Blood" was filmed. Despite the local five-oh (Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle) needing to keep it "Boring." Turns out he was given war he wouldn't believe because he wouldn't let it go.

I like Amsterdam/Holland, but I think I’d like to live in Brussels next. It’s got a unique vibe. Kind of scuzzy, bohemian, dotted with little bistros and places you could respectably while away an afternoon/lifetime necking red wine and working on a never-to-be-finished novel.
