"It was very tough at first. Moving to a new country is like being born all over again. You are just like a baby. You can’t speak, you can’t move around, and you don’t know the culture."

[mintyfresch]

This is so incredibly true, even in the context of an American moving to England where they technically speak the same language.

Love this rooftop picnic!

[mintyfresch]

Once upon a time, I was a senior in high school and had a picnic on the roof of my school's auditorium with two of my best friends. Someone thought we were terrorists and we almost got suspended. True story.

Dark Sky Island

The gorgeous Isle of Sark, the smallest self-governing island in Europe, is located in the English channel 130 miles off the southern English coast. In January 2011 it became the world’s first “Dark Sky island” by controlling light pollution. The island’s single electricity source is an oil-fired power station, and there are no cars, streetlights or even paved roads: you can only get around by bike, horse, carriage or tractor-drawn bus. Due to the lack of light pollution, the Milky Way stretches gloriously overhead—from horizon to horizon across the pristine black sky.
