Remote places
This section is fundamental to the significance of the entire Week of Life project. In the form of interviews, we introduce individuals who live in places that are not at the center of the present fast-paced lifestyle. In places that are perhaps not at the forefront of world interest, but where the quality of life and awareness of one’s own identity comes long before career and financial prosperity. Perhaps these are the very places where the term “quality of life” still has its place.
Remote places - Belize

The unspoiled nature, the diverse fauna and flora, the rich underwater world – all of which can be found in Belize, a small country on the eastern shore of Central America that can be passed through by car in a single day. Its territory is home to the remains of the Mayan culture dated back to the times between the 3rd and 8th century, when Belize was part of the Mayan Empire. Colonizers were present in the later era of the country as well. In the 16th century, the territory was under the rule of the Spanish and subsequently, British lumberjacks settled in. Belize is a country, where on one side you enjoy the beauties of nature and on the other, turn your head in disbelief looking at the living conditions (high number of citizens, primarily children infected with AIDS, poor hygienic conditions) the citizens live in during this advanced age.
Remote places - Costa Rica

Costa Rica, Pura Vida. This phrase (often used when greeting someone in Costa Rica), translated into pure life or an expression of utter well-being, immediately makes a strong statement about this ‘rich coast’ country. The happiness index, which identifies the level of satisfaction of residents living in a given country, ranks Costa Rica amongst the top countries in the world, portraying it as a so-called wonderland and one of the happiest places to live on earth. We had the chance to find out what life really is about in Costa Rica while interviewing Toh Gouttenoire, a French photographer who settled in this country and started a family a few years back. Why and how Costa Rica influenced him the way it did is only a small part of the following interview.
Remote places - Vietnam

Hoang Thao, a young lady living in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, gave the first interview from this part of the world, in which she openly expressed feelings that are held by the younger Vietnamese generation of today. She even openly answered questions regarding the current problems of her country. A country where people are closely tied by tradition and where the family stands at the forefront of life. Read the interview with this young lady who represents the young Vietnam generation.
Remote places - Samoa

Samoa is certainly a remote country for many of us. Its very name and the beautiful way it sounds invites exploration. Nadya Domashneva is not a native Samoan, yet for this very reason you have an opportunity to discover this land through her eyes: the eyes of someone who fell in love with it while striving to keep a realistic outlook. Let yourself get carried away by the words of a woman who adopted a life in a country that is very diff erent from her native Russia.
