This sure sounded pessimistic. Please don't try to depress me, still the start of the week!

As Scarlett said, we have to make the best of what we've got. Instead of wasting our time complaining about how bad things are, we should go out there and do something fun. It's up to us. Don't think about it as "lonely expats just trying to pass by"...think of it as "adventurous expats experiencing a new culture and learning new things from such a diverse place" :-)

Remember...Bored people are boring people lol.
