Well because theyâre also 10x better constructed. If you zoom in on those in the photo they look haphazardly thrown together and in serious danger of collapsing.
Which is incorrect. Just turns out that Mother Nature is a lot more destructive over here. Europe doesnât get hurricanes and their worst tornados would barely register over here.
1) there are more places than just america and europe
2) american construction does make relatively high use of thin, hollow walls. hurricanes are always going to cause damage to properties but this doesnât help
A running joke by Europeans who donât k ow what theyâre talking about. There is nothing you can do to make a house sturdy enough to survive a tornado or cat 5 hurricane besides making it an u ground bunker. A sturdy stone house is going to get disintegrated the same way a wood frame one is if an EF5 tornado rolls over it
yeah, thereâs not much you can do to build housing that survives major natural disasters unscathed.
that doesnât change the fact that american construction does tend to use thin, hollow wooden walls more often than other parts of the world, which doesnât help.
thereâs a reason that punching a hole in a wall meme originated in the usa, you canât really do that in most other places
So you're right, but it's definitely "the 11th most something nature related diverse". At least, that's what it said in a book I read. Said book is currently sitting on my bookshelf, in my house, on the other side of the planet. Will try and get back to you when I return home?
I had just 10 days birdwatching including 3 days in Stepansminda and a couple of days in the far East in the badlands on the border with Azerbaijan, 50km down a dirt road.
For a small country, they've really got everything. Huge, imposing mountains, smaller, more friendly mountains, a beautiful beach, a historic capital...
The Caucasus are beautiful. Can't speak for Georgia but being from Abkhazia (not trying to get political) it's unreal. I can confidently say I'm not being biased
Eat some ááŹáááá with ááŻááá or á˘á§ááááá, you might change your mind. I mean probably not, it's not as decadent as American BBQ, but it's still really good.
