Oh, this is very interesting... I have travelled a great deal -- I dreamed of travel as a child and it was my job as a foreign correspondent -- and I can tell you that all places on earth are the same. Superficial decoration may be different but in essence, human life is absolutely the same everywhere. And so in a way, you don't need to go anywhere, you don't need to get out of your armchair. But you only reach this realisation after you have travelled quite a lot. When the time is right, I am sure you will go abroad, if only for a short visit. You have already taken the trouble to learn another language to a very high standard. You have also found a way of living here that suits you. I think you already know that wherever you go, Vriad Lee always goes with you. (By the way, for this reason, you don't need to worry about missing feral dogs because you carry those ferals dogs inside yourself.) So here, there or wherever, everything will be fine, I promise you. I will dig out a poem for you about travel. It's by Cavafy and he's referring to the Odyssey. Wait a sec...
