A continent of dreams called mylot.

How do I describe it, hmm while on myLot I feel that I am traveling all over the word in a few hours. I also feel that MANY welcome me in their homes daily. They share their triumphs, experiences, loves and hearts with me. Therefore, each day I open my home as well to all. I have one Indian myLotter visiting here later this year for which I will be showing our big city too. There is another who someday plans to visit her sister, errrm and me too. You are not the only one because my heart, thoughts and mind is completely with so many in myLot!

Indeed you are not the only one! I have made so many friends here and immediately when I log on at breakfast time my thoughts go to my friends from India and the Philippines who ae already here, while most of my US friends are sound asleep. My dreams go outside the Lot and further on in years to the day when I will be retired and how wonderful it would be to travel the continents and shake hands with as many of my Lotting friends as possible Who is the 'fair Italian maiden' as I would love to add her too?

myLot is like my first virtual home ... I've always pictured the lot as a big , giant cafe. Isn't it fascinating how people all over the world can connect with one another ... it's just great. I would love to shake hands with the owner of myLot , who might buy coffee from Starbucks anonymously and be free from public eyes , haha.

Hi. ajk111. MyLot allows me to daydream and imagine myself very far away from home. I enjoy feeling like this, it is very fun and exciting. I have enjoyed reading your discussion opening. It is very interesting and creative!

I wonder too. It is 4.30 p.m. here in India which would mean early morning in the US, while Europe still sleeps and Australia would be getting ready to hit the pillow and in the midst of all these time zones here we are as one community getting to understand each other as though there is no difference between religion or race. Long live myLot.

For me at MyLot - There is no Atlas. MyLot is my extended family and I am happy that I am a part of this global world - a window or a place where there are no barriers, just the shades of Love, Friendship, and a load of healthy things... Arguments, discussions, disagreements all make my family stronger and well knit. At last there is some place where there are not much differences and we are all what we are - humans integrated into bonds of friendship, togetherness...

I don't know how can I describe myLot-for-me. It's sort of a soothing world where I can just rest And when I need it most (that's now!) it seems so far! Quite true. Sun never goes down in the empire of myLot! Now, I didn't ever have that thirst to be a globetrotter but maybe one day.... waiting for that effect

hi ajk how poetic is your discussion and I too have thought of the many places that I have friends from and how one mylotter is always telling me to come to Thailand as its so beautiful and I envision the country and the sea and envy this person their home then I look outside and see the lovely Jacaranda trees in bloom on Dawson street. I talk to an elderly couple of Vietnamese people out for a walk on Dawson as we are in the middle of Little Saigon right smack in the middle of Garden Grove California. these were boat people who fled Vietnam during the last horrible war. they settled here in Southern California as they loved the climate. they make very pleasant neighbors here. When some my lotter from Sweden responds to me I envison water and snow and ice bergs and very friendly people too.Scotland and bagpipe and kilts from my Scottish friends, and from Malaysia I see tropical paradise and my Filipino friends make nme think of palm trees and tropical fruits and tropical weather.

That got me thinking! I think I also feel lost in a mini atlas. I can imagine myself, cowering in fear because of the heavy rain and thunder but still feeling great , typing a response to this discussion while you read this smelling the sweet aroma of coffee as you pass a diner in Manhatten, again. Wow! It feels really great. For now, I'm thanking technology.

WOW you painted such a beautiful picture :) i should log in to mylot more often it is such a wonderful place peopled by so many people from diverse cultures and every corner of the world....though i stick to 'discussions started by friends' because of the time limit i still love reading different opinions :) Long live mylot :)
