Mimosa, would you say in your long history of seeing newbies arrive here that more of them are looking for a place like they left? Or are more looking for a place nothing like the place they left? I've met so many people in a short time that all seem so happy to be here, they don't tend to talk much of where they came from. And they don't seem to complain about Puna's shortcomings or the hardships it can present. Only seem to love where they are their friends their pets and Puna. And many tell me they wouldn't ever want to live anywhere else. And many say they never want to leave for any reason not even to visit family or friends. The two year threshold seems long to me to decide if you like it here. I would expect most people who come here reasonably informed would know weather they loved or hated it in more like two months
