    That’s different from anything I’ve seen in the UK. Every house seems to be surrounded with lawns and so spread out, and yet you still need whatever that giant building with the green roof and car park is. Presumably a shop? Why’d you need such a big building for so few people? And why are all the houses detached with no terraces? Very strange…

    (All of that was rhetorical, I’m sure it makes sense if that’s what you’re used to. And having more room to spread out and less history to deal with)

    A) No, I like my jacket too much. Also I’d just die.

    B) Also no. All I carry with me is phone, keys, wallet - all of which are useless on their own.

    C) I think I’d like to give this a go. I have a couple of weeks of food in the house, I’ve got all my books. Kinda sucks not having electric once the batteries die - we have solar panels but they’re on a shed roof so all I’d get to take is the batteries and inverter! I’d expect to find potatoes in Peru which I could recognise and know how to turn into food, plus I know (in theory) how to test which plants are edible. My main concerns would be not speaking the language and not having the right skin colour. But I often think about whether it would be fun to live in the wilderness in prehistoric times (or I guess 1300s Peru…) and if I get to keep my books too, that sounds great! I’d probably die in a couple of years, especially if I try to stay alone, but why not try it?
