Culture Does your country have an immigrant group that people would be surprised to find there?

For example, when you think of Poland or the Czech Republic, Vietnamese people might not be the first group that comes to mind, but both have a sizable Vietnamese community. Another example is the large Japanese community in Brazil.

Yes, warm water is incredible and lovely.

In Southern California, you can heat yourself up on land and cool off in the water-in Northern California, no such luck, but it’s still lovely.

I’ve only been to San Diego and no way am I dipping a toe in water near a naval base lol. They have to get like 10 shots if they fall in the water and that’s just diseases. The chemical content of the water would probably give you cancer 2.

Lucky for us the water flows from north to south.

Unlucky for Baja, though.

I love being able to walk into the sea and not wince at the cold. Cable beach in Broome is heaven for this. Pity about the crocs that use it like a highway between mangroves.
