Yeah. Moved to a village a few years back, I had people marching straight up to my construction site and ask me where I was from and how I came to move and build a house here. And then offering me help sometimes when I could obviously use some kind of work equipment I didn't have or how they would do this or that.

It felt highly weird to me as a dude from the city, but by now I'm a volunteer firefighter here and sometimes, when me and the boys are returning from a middle of the night call and we're sitting in the cabin of our truck and joking around I feel so at home like I've never felt before.
