NZ Hike Day 8: On Privacy...
Ever since the South Africa/Dubai portion of my trip there hasn't been much of a notion of privacy. There was not much in the backpacker dorms or hostels I stayed in. And there certainly is none in the hut when there are 30 other people sleeping in the room with you. This is probably the Turkish military experience I have to look forward to. And you know what? It ain't half bad - in fact, I really like it. This notion of needing space is a modern day construct in my opinion. I notice it far more so in the US than I do in any other country. We live in the age of the individual and the US is the capital of the individual. Communal space is being annexed at a rapid clip - I am afraid by the time we're satisfied in with having our own space, we're not going to have anyone to share that joy with....

OMG! All this damn Hiking seems to have turned you into a d@mn hippy! You want communal living...fine Brent is looking for a roommate so I'll have him contact you. See how you like that.
I don't see how living with a motorcycle in my bedroom is going to satisfy my hippy urges..but fine..do that.
So this is what guys talk about ... a motorbike in the bedroom? Is it a big one?
You're no hippy, you're clearly half Kiwi now. ;)
