Wasnt that fascinating? I'm a little way too spoiled by my comforts for that kind of life but it's really impressive and inspiring.

I also really liked the layout and the pictures, they made for a very engaging article.

I'm really curious what it was like prior to mid-century post-war reform, I want to see a companion article with just the agrarian lifestyle and interesting cultural history and artifacts.
