Have Fun!!! :)
Less than a month left in Curacao! More excited to go to Aruba than sad to leave Curacao. I've had a decent enough time in Curacao but also struggled with illness that I just now feel like I'm hopefully getting over. Also I feel like there isn't that much left on Curacao that I wanna see.
Aruba looks small but in a good way. Seems maybe easier to get around, denser, more fun than Curacao. I think Aruba's far more touristy/tourist-oriented, while Curacao's more of a normal place with a bit of tourist activity. I like seeing the normal side of places and the tourist side of travel. I feel like I've had a while living in a normal place, working and recovering from illness. Now ready for a bit of artificial fun! :)
Eventually I'll leave the Caribbean, at least that's the plan. Then instead of touristy islands I expect to travel through more interesting to me places that have their cultures geared towards residents rather than tourists. Also hop back on a bike, hopefully electric soon enough.
I've had enough mediocre rum! :)
Delicious rice and beans and stews, though! :)
If you go to the Dutch Caribbean, I'd recommend trying the Indonesian food!!!
I'm genetically endowed with a high propensity for testosterone. 100th percentile in my whole genome sequencing results. I like sex a lot. I think that having a bunch of anti-sex laws is biased against my genetic predisposition. It's like if they had anti-carbohydrate laws for people who have a genetic predisposition for carbs, or anti-(pick a race or sex) laws for people whose genes make them that race or sex.
The Netherlands has legal marijuana and prostitution. Islamic countries have horrendous atavistic punishments for marijuana and prostitution. The Netherlands is a rich and happy country, while Islamic countries tend to be poor and with trouble. Tons of people risk their lives to flee from Islamic countries to Denmark. Maybe more countries should legalize marijuana and prostitution.
Viva la libertad! :)
