"Put My Mind On Permanent Vacation"

Cool idea.

Build a floating city.

To counteract the effects of sea level rise, The Maldives, with more than 80% of its area less than one metre above sea level, are building a floating city in the ocean.

Designed in a pattern similar to brain coral, the city will consist of 5,000 floating units including houses, restaurants, shops and schools, with canals running in between. 

With the technology they are using, they are supposed to be affordable for the masses.

Great idea.  

What could go wrong? Besides maybe waves. So you buy some Gravol.  No biggie.

And I guess you have to hope you don't have noisy - or nosey - neighbours.

But if you ever do go to the mainland, you'll probably look like one of those drunken sailors who have been at sea for months. Can't walk straight.

Better than having your country underwater, I guess. 

P.S. Of course, "Put My Mind On Permanent Vacation" is a line from the Zac Brown/Jimmy Buffett song "Knee Deep".
