What’s your favorite place on Earth?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’ve been to so many beautiful places, but my favorite one is my summer getaway - my village, where my grandparents lived and I visited every summer after school ended. It was the best place to get rid of the noise of the capital.

That was a small village but thinking how happy I was there, makes me think even of the whole world stopped existing but that place stayed, I would still be happy and fulfilled there.

Sometimes I remember the things I dreamed about sitting on top of a tree house or on the roof of my home while looking at the sceneries and dreaming and even in my wildest dreams I couldn’t imagine I would live an adventure filled life like this.

When I feel happy I remember of that place and when I feel sad I also remember that place, seems like that little village house is my mind palace always giving me the peace of mind.

I don't have one anymore.
Frankly, that's really sad.

If I had to pick a place that still exists and hasn't been mutated into shit, it's here:

In the middle of this photo is metal park bench.

It is located approximately here near the corner of 3rd Street and Washington Street in Troy NY:

This park is Washington Park, a small PRIVATE park in the city of Troy NY.

On the evening of Wednesday, 22 AUG 1990, at that park and at that bench, I had a very very special moment. It would become the pinnacle of my life... and, unknowingly at the time, the end of it.

When I lived in the northeast USA, I would attempt to visit the park once a year between August 10th and August 22nd. I was very lucky in 1990 that I was able to get into the park; it's normally locked and I've never been able to go to that bench again.

Akihabara shopping district in Tokyo, Japan. I really wish a place like this existed where I live.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Looks amazing! you are closer to where I live.

I am in Shanghai.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I live in the United States lol

Sadly I can't find a geek catering city in the US, it might exist, but if it does, its bad at advertizing itself.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Oops. Okay.

But I’d be surprised if you didn’t have a place like that in the US.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Have you ever been in China?

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but I look like I'm from there.

I've never been to another country before.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

So, you look Asian?

Or just saying that cause you’ve read I like Asians? 🤣

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am joking.

I would suggest you to go there! It’s amazing!

[TheSpaceGnome]

I am genetically Asian.

I dunno what reading like Asians means 🤷🏻

I started reading as a toddler.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Reading like Asians?

I don’t know what you mean.

Read that sentence again.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s the homework for tomorrow.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm confused._.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Ah ok, sorry I'm tired lol, No I didn't know you liked Asians.

My favourite place is our car. I just feel calm in it. It is big enough for me to sleep in it.

We have two houses. One is a 1 BHK flat and the other one is a bungalow. But the funny thing is, I have never lived in either of those long enough to grow attached to them. I was always on the move. That is why I have nearly one school for two grades on average.

So, a good well-maintained vehicle is what I find comfortable the most. But now that we have our own SUV (Hyundai Creta), I find it the most comfortable to be in.

The mountains or Hawaii

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Are you from there? I had a friend from Hawaii.

[Charliefretz329]

I am not, I’ve just vacationed there
