Sometimes it's good to fly for a short time from a huge city to a country where a fresh breeze from the ocean cleanses the lungs, and the weather changes almost every minute; where clouds of steam come out of the ground and you can swim in the open air in warm geothermal water, while snow lies around. To a country where there seem to be more sheep than people. Fly away to where calm "lunar" landscapes promote meditation, and fresh thoughts come to mind.
