This is a nice, typical message that people living abroad tend to get:
"Wow, stunning photos "Joe". it looks like you're having a surreal experience. i can't wait to hear about your adventures someday! ♥"
Stunning? okay, maybe. thanks. How flattering of you. or maybe you're just impressed by what's in the photos more so than my photographic skill. meh, either way, thanks.
Words like "surreal experience" and "adventure" are what get to me. I might just be quibbling over semantics here, and perhaps there's an element of "every person's experience of something depends on their background"...
But, I guess, what I mean to say, is that for the natives who live in foreign countries of whatever photo in question, the stuff that you see in the photos isn't an "adventure" or "surreal"... it's routine life... ( إلى حد ما ). Sure, for you it might be surreal to see the pyramids, but I guarantee that a majority of the people living with a view of the pyramids would rather be living in bumble-fuck-dingle-berry Arkansas.
But, I guess, my point regarding "i can't wait to hear about your adventures someday!" is:
GO, GET OUT THERE and EXPERIENCE THE ADVENTURE FOR YOURSELF!
