I seldom read travel pieces, but wow, this was great. Just maybe there are a very few places like this left in Canada (but without the clams and coconuts). Places so out there that there's only softly-flanged shortwave music to fall asleep by. (Previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19446237) |

My test: if it's a story being told, it's appropriate. Otherwise, cut to the point.
I really enjoyed this piece, which was long and written as a story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19446237
