Ironically, when going to less stressful place, many westerners dislike the slow pace of life, which probably increase their blood pressure for a little while. I'm in the caribean right now, and things are weird, slow, transient.. but there's a very very gentle side to it. People are way calmer, they smile, they let you pass in front of them. Not everybody, but it's easy to see the difference to most European city. We're running nowhere there.

[unsurprisingly] I saw many 90yo persons there with good health. Walking with family to rituals. Good memory, good spirit. These people often lived in tiny houses with not much. Something to think about.
