We tend to become apathetic toward our daily environments taking for granted the beauty that surrounds us.
This results in people who live in tropical places not really appreciating the jungle glory, and the environments that might intrigue them would be places that do not have the jungle landscapes they are so used to.
Those who live surrounded by sand and desert would love to live in the jungle, and those who live in a jungle might like to experience life in a drier climate.
We all can find beauty in our own homelands. It is found everywhere across the planet in so many different ecosystems. What makes it special to one is the intimate details and the intricate interactions that one has with it. And these things can be had in the most isolated and seemingly barren of places.
As a child I used to get right into the little pools that the small stream in my neighborhood had. getting right in there allowed me to find things that I would never have known even existed. Pollywogs with only two rear legs. Waterskippers that barely made a ripple on the surface of the water. You have to roll over the rocks to and logs to find the salamanders.
Point is that the greater beauty is not always the view from everyone's POV. Its found in the individual attraction and curiosity.
Now that Zack has experienced the tropical theme, and the poorer city realm, he might now be excited about once again experiencing the big city life.
Of course, some might now think me just a load of hogwash.
