Say what??? When it comes to species diversity and the bright colours of flora and fauna, I am afraid that you might get a bit dissapointed. But I hope the reason you are moving there will cover for the lack of the "brightness" in the nature around you... Oh, and a BIG welcome is in place as well :)
