i live on a boat.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A houseboat (different from boathouse, which is a shed for storing boats) is a boat that has been designed or modified to be used primarily as a home. Some houseboats are not motorized, because they are usually \"moored\", kept stationary at a fixed point and often tethered to land to provide utilities. However, many are capable of operation under their own power. \"Float house\" is a Canadian and American term for a house on a float (raft), a rough house may be called a \"shanty boat\". In Western countries, houseboats tend to be either owned privately or rented out to holiday-goers, and on some canals in Europe, people dwell in houseboats all year round. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, Amsterdam, London, and Paris. In Zimbabwe, specifically on Lake Kariba, houseboats have been in use since the creation of the lake in the late 1950s/early 1960s. A houseboat makes it easy to experience the Zambezi basin and all the associated wildlife, as a lot of game come down to the water for drinking and to cool down. There is a houseboat and fishing community on the southern side of Hong Kong Island known as Aberdeen floating village. There was also one such community in the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I call a houseboat in Amsterdam home.

France does a good job of that too... a lot of the places where major battles in WW1 took place are preserved. It's so spooky... it looks like a moonscape covered in grass.
