Tateru, I need to be the first in on this one. I'd planned to do my monthly road-trip to the continent, but I don't think there are any roads!

First impression: kudos to Malvina Reynolds. From her "Little Boxes":

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
