Lived in a tipi in the Rockies for 14 months after I got out of the army.
Kodiak for a decade, Ketchikan for 3-4 years. The coolest was Kodiak. Never knew what would happen next. |

Santa Fe for a year when I was 22. They call themselves "The city different" and it is. The building code says all dwellings have to be adobe, and a lot of business follow suit. A lot of alternative medicine shops/businesses and art galleries, far out of proportion for a city its size. It's like a sort of boutique of a city created by rich people from somewhere else.

Republican Palace, Baghdad, Iraq View from the bed  Bathroom wasn't bad, 24K plated fixtures, real Italian Marble  Bedroom during the day  Living room chair was a little over the top  Going to work everyday was not your average commute!   |

1. A tent at a Scout camp all summer. Some summers the tent was next to a bog, but one summer it was about 100 feet up a hill from the lakeshore. Noises and the breeze off a lake make for great sleeping.
2. West coast of Ireland, about 200 feet from the waterline, in a small cottage heated by a peat fire. The view was incredible. 3. Georgetown in Washington DC. |

Futenma, Okinawa for one year. Lived near the foot of Kakazu Ridge, which was perhaps the first real jap defense line during the invasion. Amongst other things, I did some training in the martial arts there. Futenma is regarded by some as the "birthplace of modern karate", or something like that. Reference the movie "Kill Bill".
The Iraqi desert was not fun, but kinda interesting after a fashion. I've visited some rather exotic places, but I don't think that being somewhere a month constitues having "lived" there. Most interesting amongst those would be Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia; in about that order. |

 In the pic with the person on the throne with the rockets, they've turned that into a MWR room. It's either that room or the one down the hall. They turned the one down the hall into a coffee shop/MWR/place to chill and play games or read.  Kuwait Iraq [

I don't know about that. I lived there in '80 and '81, not much later. This country boy wasn't ready for two guys in leather motorcycle outfits leaning aginst a lamp post between the sides of a busy divided street in the Quarter hugging and kissing on each other.

That room started out as the Chapel then became a giant bedroom with a hundred bunkbeds, by then I was in an upstairs hallway on my own bed, later I made it into one of the trailers. They took the throne away when it became a bedroom. The Throne was made like the rest of the furniture, looked good on TV but in real life it was a piece of garbage, pine spray painted with Gold paint!! |

I vacationed in Sabbath, Borneo back in 2003, due to free air fare. Trade rate was 3.75 ringets to the dollar. Hyatt was $50/night. Water was so clear and excellent for snorkeling. It's too bad Durians are not allowed in the hotels, talk about discrimination

Amateurs. Thompson, Manitoba, Canada. The winter of 1987. It's 500 miles N of the US border. The only reason the town exists (circa 1960) is the nickel mine. There are two fur sales a year when buyers come to buy mink, otter, beaver, etc. pelts. We heated w/ jack pine and spruce. Any time we drove outside the city limits, I had to carry survival gear for the whole family (me, wife and 4 kids) in case we broke down. Churchill,Manitoba (all the polar bear documentaries are filmed there) was just up the railroad from us. Our next door neighbor was a Mountie. Indians and even Inuit were everywhere. Sounds even stranger now for some reason.

I lived for a couple years in the anus of the planet, a place known as "Birganj" which looks like the set of a Mad Max movie located on the Nepal/India border. It is where I gained my firm belief regarding the importance of the RTKABA! The Lonely Planet Guide to Nepal describes it as; "The LEAST attractive place on Earth". That is an understatement!

Can't call yourself a local if you don't like it..... had a chance to get some when I was in Bangkok over Christmas. It'd been 3 years since I had durian. Man, it was worth the wait.....

Yep, thats how most things are here. Spray painted gold or gold foil. All the good stuff was destroyed or already looted.  That palace is freaking huge. Did they have the airlock doors while you were there? |
