OP wonders why anyone would want to live lonely and isolated and chooses a photo that shows a stream of people walking towards alleged isolated lonely location.


That is an example of an isolated fort. 1000 years ago, there were no tourists.

OP doesn't even make 200k a year so it not like he's in the running to live a wealthy person's dream

You would be surprised, peasant.

Go read my posts in the business board.
You've got to be so short and one of the most insecure people. Yikes!

You see all the ruined buildings in the photo, right? In your mind, all for one person I guess.

Is it a fort, or a castle, be consistent.

Can you describe in detail what castle/fort life was like 1000 years ago? Thanks in advance.

We just did a week of castle hopping in Ireland a few weeks ago and it was awesome! Living like royalty for a week spoils you quickly.

Kind of crazy that even the least fortunate around us live better than the highest royalty of yore. I'll keep my temp controlled home with warm water and flushing toilets.

When I was a kid growing up in England, my principal lived in an old English farmhouse that had a moat.

It was AWESOME going over there and visiting.

Ever been in that place? What's it like? I'm guessing they do a heckuva wedding business.

Is that built onto the side of a cliff or does it just look like it? What's their A/C situation?

I've seen this somewhere before.

I think that's where Lex Luthor lived in Smallville

It's a very common misconception that Oktoberfest is the month of October.

Oktoberfest has always ended in October. It's not a one day event. I think the rest of the world is maybe just full of bad assumers.

Or, the rest of the world thought it last for 3-4 weeks in October.

Never heard anyone think it lasted a day.

I thought it was common knowledge that it started in September and ended early October.
