Surely I'm not the only one here who has a job that sends me all over the place. Often to the less glamorous parts of the world.
This week I've been in a southern Norwegian dormitory town learning just why the suicide rate is so high in scandinavia. (Endless rain, nothing open on sundays)
Anyway what are your strategies for coping, even enjoying being dropped in a little known corner of the world, or even being alone in a busy one. it can be fun and exciting but it takes a certain effort of will to want to go and explore a strange place after an 11 hour work day in the wrong timezone.
