I lived a solitary life like that for many years before. We lived in the mountain and had a farm there. There was no electricity, no wifi and no internet. There were no other people living nearby, only when we cross the river that we can meet and socialize with others. We were used to that kind of life before but as we step into another era, such life is now just a memory. But I think I can still survive in the jungle but oh, I can't be alone, I am afraid of venomous snakes ever since.

That's an awesome answer. Yes life should be lived and accepted wherever it takes you and whatever it does to you.

I was with my parents those days. It was a quite life way back. I only heard the birds chirping, the rivers and streams flowing but then we needed to move to the city for my studies and I have never gone back since then.

@maezee yeah it's more enjoyable in the city hehe coz you will be able to meet different types of people and be able to connect with them through internet just like what we're doing now. However, I still miss the old days where there was no pollution at all and everything is natural but it can be hard in the mountain when you're sick coz there's no access to health care facilities.

You would need an internet satellite and a source of power there, maybe you can use a generator. That will work. Many of the people mountains these days are already active facebookers hehe, they just climbed the coconut tree and capture a signal then they can use free data for facebook LOL.

It is challenging and exciting for me but it should be in groups though. you will get too bored in there like there was no hope but if you just love being surrounded by the green vistas, then there's no way you wouldn't enjoy it there.

I spend a good many years in the country side and do miss it as well. We do need other people and meeting people was certainly not as frequent as it can be in the city. When I wondered if I was in the right place would turn on the radio. When the traffic reporter came on to say everyone was stuck in some isolated car on some busy road would turn it off and smile.
