I never heard of those roman water ways before, that's interesting, although it does sound like a horrible job to work there. I have read a few books with underground cities, but not this one, they usually seem to take place in London or something like that. Great idea for a feature, there are so many things you rarely see books about. And I learned something new about these topics/ places too!

Thinking about working like that underground makes me feel claustrophobic, though. It must have been awful. I love the idea of a hidden underground city, that would definitely make a great book setting. I could see a weird cult living underground that rejected all of the modern world above. I didn't know about Glass Beach. It's sad they threw so much waste into the ocean but nice that something beautiful came out of it. It's so terrible how much plastic ends up in the ocean. Lots of whales and fish die from swallowing it. I'm trying to reduce the amount of plastic I use at the moment, but it seems to be everywhere. I fear our efforts to change are too little, too late.

Ugh. <br /><br />On a less dramatic note, I think all these places you listed on here sound refreshing. I mean, I think I'd get claustrophobic in all of them (except for the beach one, I suppose). But, I can just see a dystopian novel with the Roman miners. Also: the whole secret city thing in Turkey just sounds like it can go so many places. Like, it could be that faeries or trolls live in that city. Or, it could be a rebellion type of city (sort of like District 13 in the Hunger Games). <br /><br />By the way: It is such a pleasure to meet you! Always nice to stumble on fun blogs like yours.
