At first, I thought "man, I would kill to live a full year in that temperate four-seasons weather". But then I realised the point of the comic. Everyone encounters the same general grievances in life, no matter where they live. I'm gonna feel dead inside, whether I find myself in the Maldives or Finland...
One of the reasons I rarely took myself off to other places in the world for a holiday is because the thing I need a break from is being me and I don't even know if that's possible.

Literally the best part of my last holiday was the short runway take-off of the aeroplane on the way there. First time I'd ever flown. Massive acceleration and into the air. Total rush.
Spent a lot of my time looking forward to the flight home as a result, but the runway turned out to be longer and it was a disappointment.
