    Let me tell you about these magical lands called “equatorial mountain” climates.

    See, you go to a place that’s hot year round, then go 1-2km directly upwards, and you get 365 days of spring weather, only variation being how much precipitation you get.

    Bogota, Medellin, Da Lat, Kunming, all amazing weather year round. They also tend to have tons of edible mushrooms.

    spoiler

    There is a really jarring sensation when you go from wet, cold, and cloudy to hot, dry, and sunny by taking a 5 minute bike ride down into a valley, like you just rode into another world.

      I know about mountain climates. However, I grew up close to an ocean coast, I love the salty smell of the sea, mountains are nice for a vacation but bearing down in the long run. Also Kunming is in China (fuck the CCP) and due to me being pretty much not able to work I am still best where I am (for now at least. Too many rich asses working on dismantling welfare here).
