When I said clichéd SETTING, for those who didn't understand, I was reffering to the narrative term "setting" (quoting wikipedia):
"Moment in time and geographic location in which a story takes place, and helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story. --- Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour. Along with the plot, character, theme, and style, setting is considered one of the fundamental components of fiction."
Fact, it is clichéd, like it or not... sheesh.
