Walking in American cities is awful, but if you live in a good country that limits vehicle access its super relaxing to walk around the city and see all the cool stuff going on.

No toxic fumes. No engine noise. No risk of sudden death. Just the low background noise of footsteps, chatter, people laughing, etc.



I know it's fun to hate on America but that's bs. We walk several miles in our city every day and it's great. We'll walk in state parks or near our cabin on the weekends but there's nothing wrong at all with walking in an American city.


Depends if you're some rural city somewhere or some exception, or the average built for cars US mega-city.


Sounds like paradise, I know :)

And I cherish the scarce opportunities to experience it.

It's always a revelation to experience quietness for the first time in a couple of weeks...
