You last point, about the life span, is a vital one (literally), but I have lived in a very, very remote area of Namibia without plumbing and running water and must say it was still the best time of my life (the rest of Namibia has a standard comparable to rural areas of the US, so it's still a fine country). In Germany we have a saying that roughly translates to: ""If you want the one thing, you have to like the other", meaning that if you want to have a great natural surrounding, you have to like a certain amount of discomfort. <BR/>But honestly, I'd also opt for short time tours...<BR/><BR/>Hi Mon@rch!<BR/>I once quit drinking coffee for about three years but wanted a substitute for it in the form of a creamy, warm drink (tea just wasn't doing it). I then learned however that all the other options were even less healthy (e.g. in most instant hot chocolates is a certain poisonous fungus) and so I returned to coffee with fresh milk (although I tend to drink more decaf these days...). But I do love Hot Chocolate, well, anything that's got chocolate...<BR/><BR/>Corey, I am so glad you share my cravings for sodium silicoaluminate, but honestly, the best-tasting ingredient must be dipotassium phosphate.<BR/>You gotta love it!Jochenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852825311605464857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-8883804957824763932007-08-31T02:14:00.000+02:002007-08-31T02:14:00.000+02:00mmm...sodium silicoaluminate...mmm [me drooling]mmm...sodium silicoaluminate...mmm [me drooling]coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647003656628845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-42384643914065803022007-08-30T17:26:00.000+02:002007-08-30T17:26:00.000+02:00I have never been a big coffee drinker but I do lo...I have never been a big coffee drinker but I do love my milk with my Hot Chocolate!
