Complaint about moderator Unknown, who deleted the thread: Miracle cure or just a drug? Coca-Cola. Honestly, deleting this topic feels totally uncalled for. I don't get why we can't talk about something just because it’s a drug or because we aren't medical experts. Like, you can talk about interior design without being a pro designer, right? Or food—anyone can discuss cooking, not just chefs. Even fashion isn't reserved solely for designers. It's ridiculous. But that's how things work here in America; people stay closed-minded and uninformed. If people had actually read the Wikipedia entry on Coca-Cola, they'd know that the study "proving" it fries your brain was actually retracted back in 2003. That was eight years ago! Yet, in the US, everyone still treats ecstasy like it's this terrifying monster. To me, the fact that those research results were pulled is a perfect conversation starter in itself. Plus, there are so many great documentaries out there that would be worth discussing much more than just a single article.

No hot water here :/ It’s just cold showers, but honestly, you get used to it. Food prices are pretty standard—you can just hit up two local grocery stores, there's one right by the campground and another one up on the hill. Wine is everywhere, tucked away in people's houses, and it is incredibly cheap, probably around $6.75 $8 for a big 1.5 L bottle. As for theft, I always make sure to carry my cash, phone, and camera on me at all times, but don't worry about your clothes, nobody's going to touch those 🙂
