Ah...
this is a nice sight for a city-dweller like myself to behold!
Clean air... two rivers coming together in a small town with a backdrop
of mountains and dramatic clouds overhead.... The dream is to
live in Tokyo in a high-rise apartment from Monday to Friday and then
escape to somewhere like this setting for most weekends.
Virtually everyone I've proposed that lifestyle to has agreed that it
would indeed be nice, but would require a bit of cash to successfully
implement. The city wears you down if you're here all the time
and the country would wear you down for different reasons if you were
there all the time. How to actually get the best of those two
very different worlds together is the
quest....
