I'm from Mexico city, the perspective to live in this natural, beautiful and far away place is exciting. You are so far from the bustle of the cities that I imagine they live quietly

its a trade off. in small places like this, you have limited options for services. so you pay more, and if you accidentally sleep with the local electrician's wife, you will never get your house wired again. (jokes).

Oh how I miss Gove. Lived there for 11 years and I still feel homesick. Wanna go back aswell but Gove has turned into a bad town since the mining shutdown forcing all the people that worked there to move away with their families. Unlucky my family was one too. #govegirlforever

I worked on the town site from 70-72, back then there was the mine on one end, and a few housing places on the other. I had hoped that some of the buildings I worked on might still be there but viewing this I cannot be sure. One thing for sure, it was a wonderful time for a Yank back then.

Rapih ya... Walu sepi tapi rapih dan terbangun infra struktuk dengan baik... Jauh beda dengan kita di papua..... Sedih memang jauh lebih kaya tapi sangat minim dan miskin sekali.... Korupsi luar biasa dan kkn serta pembodohan sistimatis membuat kami seperti ini... Belum tau kapan kami sepakat untuk memutuskan untuk mau maju... Mungkin 100 atau 200 tahun lagi.... Kalau kemarin sih kita butuh 350 tahun. Untuk memutuskan ya kita mau sedikit maju. Dengan merdeka.
