One of the reasons I'm enjoying #Hammondal as a small, unregarded city away from the centers of the world is that it let's me have a modest variety of cultures without dumbing down the world as a whole ... just a couple dozen countries have any presence at all in the port, and less than one dozen have anything like prominence. But the hundreds of others can peek in, one traveler at a time, at need. It makes the whole thing both more intimate and more isolated, in a cozy way.
