So far the thing that is striking me the most is just how incredibly nice and non-selfish people here are.  When we were going through the sewers yesterday, any time one of us would slip a bit or say 'ow!', the others would immediately turn around and ask if you were alright.  I've been offered beer by so many others.  The people in the squat woke up after a three-day bender and immediately began cleaning up, to the point of even fixing a wooden chair that had been basically smashed to bits the night before.  The hangover day was spent buildng a gate to keep the dogs in the yard and tending to the garden.  These are the things that could keep me in a place like this.
