You need to move to Minneapolis. We have a nice art scene, and nobody occupied our airport.

Yes, I would love to move to Minneapolis, or any civilized places which are far away from the threats of a civil war or a genocide. I can actually live in any places which have no art scenes. Art scenes seem to be not important to me any more. A Thai academic just wrote that a civil war and a genocide can occur in Thailand. After reading it, I think I would prefer to live in Antarctica to Thailand. :-)
