Isn't USA a rich country?

Not to mention that EVERYTHING is so expensive to the point where there's no time to simply sit back and breathe.

i.e. I just registered my truck and it cost me $650, which was after spending $1,200 to repair it to pass inspection. Then there's the cellphone bill, $185.20 this month. Even if you have a Super Cub in the U.S. it's usually over $80 just to service it each time and $10 to change the oil. Things add up quickly and the rich country soon becomes not so nice to live in.

^Two lines of Verizon on a business contract. I'd get rid of it but the damn cancelation fee is something like $750.

Alaska, BTW/ The last picture is of Killer Whales munching salmon next to the boat. Killer Whales were bigger than the boat.

i think that should not a big deal, since you can earn more money down there. I guess we pay more for gasoline in Cambodia. I am not so sure but yes for so many things here we pay almost the same price in US.

Thanks Sailorman for posting those beautiful pictures. I am keen to touch and play with snow one day. Touching and seeing snow is one of the thing in my bucket list.

Just make sure the snow isn't yellow before you do so.

The average American car though gets 10 km per litre (mine gets 4-5 km per litre) and the average American drives over 60 km every day. I personally spend an average of about $150-200 a month on fuel now, but before when petrol was expensive, I was well over $400 a month. Then car insurance is $150 a month, oil changes are $80 etc etc. I know you can make more, but it's very easy to spend more too which is why I think a massive amount of Americans are in a lot of debt.

Cars are a lot cheaper though,

so what will happen when the snow becomes yellow ?

You are right, in Cambodia we pay more for car, but many Cambodians can afford it for some reasons and in many ways.
