The gossip here is unbelieveable, but I guess as its such a small community, everyone knows everyone else...
Its a blessing and a curse...
Appearence is king here, to the point that people will debt themselves to the eyeballs to appear "better off" to the neighbours... its like the british, "keeping up with the jones'" but on a much grander scale...
I dont think its a major issue tho, as you just learn to fit in with the gossip and ignore the illusions of wealth...
