Advantages of Being A Small Island Nation

I've come to realize that there are some benefits to living in a country which is essentially an island. Mind you it has to be a small one and not a huge one like Australia.

The fact of the matter is that Sri Lanka is a good place to live in (minus all the politics of the country).

Here are the main reasons as to why.....

  1.  You are surrounded by the beach
    For me the beach is a mere 20 minute drive so there is an infinite abundance of the beach all around. So if I feel like getting some sea water and a good breeze it just takes me a few minutes to get just that.
  2. Able to travel to all end of the country in less than a day
    You know how some people don't get to see all that there is in their own country? Well for us it's not that much of a hassle because the maximum time it would take a person to travel from south of the country to the north would be just about 12 hours. The added benefit is that you don't have to travel there by the plane but can drive it.
  3. You know most people
    The thing I discovered is that when it's a small island nation we know someone from  somewhere. When meeting a person first time you would start talking, they start talking about where their from, their family etc etc. At the end of it all you know someone who is either a mutual friend or you find out you'll are related.
  4. Often understand the value of nature
    Because of the fact that you are living in a comparatively small country, you realize that nature is important and is vital for existence. Recently I went on a bit of a road trip and went to have a bath in a river. People generally gather at this place to eat as well, they were conscious enough so as not to litter.
  5. Fresh sea food for low prices
    In other countries having fresh fish/sea food from the sea is expensive, taking into account the transport cost and everything. But, in a island it's not an issue, since fresh fish is always available at a low price.

Junko Furuta

Junko Furuta was just another teenager living an ordinary life, worrying about exams, dates, boys etc. However, she faced one of the most gruesome, inhumane deaths in the fall of 1989. In the fall of 1989 Junko was abducted by four boys of her age and held captive in the house of one of the abductors. In order to avoid suspicion the captors made her call her parents and inform them that she had run away and was staying over at a friends place. Her days held as a captive before her death were even termed as 44 days of hell, during this time period she underwent unfathomable methods of torture and rape. Junko Furuta Her days of hell started off with: DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend Raped (over 400 times in total) Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away Starved and malnutrition Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink Forced to masturbate Forced to strip in front of others B...

Back At It

Ok so looks like I've been M.I.A for the past three years....just wow....but fear not, I am making a come back but not in the oh-so-politically correct way that I used to post.  Oh no, I've been inspired by the Sex Life TV series on Netflix and also partly by the delicious, very adult, very erotic blog of The Great Cock Hunt . If you haven't checked it you better check it - there's even a show about it. It's fabulous, it's sensational and to be honest it will great you worked up in no time (if you're into the cock on cock action that is).  Anyway circling back to my own story, I thought I'd take a walk down memory lane and start some recollection of the sex history (wait, did I just say sex history? My younger-self would be utterly mortified but I'm in my late twenties and have learnt over the years not the be prudish).  So here we go...one....two...three...... I am gay. My first realisation of me being gay dawned pretty early on to be honest....I al...

Is It All Worth It? (2)

Continuation from my previous post... After reading the story, it got me thinking if this is what life is all about? The same cycle that everyone routinely follows. The first phase of the cycle is being born, growing up, studying so that you could reach great heights some day. The whole while you are studying for exams, try to beat the other kid who got higher marks than you did last time. The second phase of the cycle is finding a job trying to settle into the slow pace of the thing we call life, we get up in the morning to go to work and then come back home in the evening, almost everyday. The third phase of the cycle is getting married and then having kids, still you get up early in the morning to go to work so that you could support your family. Sometimes disputes arise between your spouse and then before you know your children have married. the fourth phase is where you retire, have grandchildren and try to live the rest of your life at a very slow pace and eventually you die...
