Mount Athos

again...

fantastic video

I wish I could live in an environment like that with zero levels of stress, but unfortunately I love women too much to be apart from them and I love technology too.

Not everyone is made for this kind of life. We all serve our own destiny! Enjoy life!

I am trying to enjoy life, but sometimes the burdens of it makes me think that most of us are fighting not for a better life but for more trouble :), that's why I find this way of life a good way to live and I don't mean necessarily the monastic part which as you said is for few people only but the simple life, without the need for money or the need to be with the edge of technology but close to nature as much as possible.

I saw this 60 Minutes show.
Eight hours of church services every single day, they still keep Byzantine time, and no women allowed on the island.

Harsh

that was nice

Not to mention that they do work as well, others as farmers in the fields, as iconography artists etc

Oh nice place!
When are those British Knights of the round table or whatever and these French armored frogs are going to storm in stealing everything like they used to do time and time again?

Ah I forgot!
There's no money now!
Everything is locked up in those Royal banks of theirs...
Now they have to wait for Prince Charles like he does every summer to go by throwing them such small change just to keep the appearances...
