So after a couple days of walking, my roommate and I decided to seek alternative routes of transportation. We conclude that our best bet is a bike, mostly because everyone here rides one. No kidding--there are separate sidewalks for bikes and for people and if you get caught walking on a biking sidewalk its lights out...I feel like "Frogger" trying to cross the street!
We will however end up taking the bus/train system when it snows here, because Meghan on bike + snow and ice = hospital visit. I have yet to figure out the bus system and usually end up just following Dodi and getting my bus pass stamped whenever she does. I guess at some point I should get a tutorial of sorts in order to figure out the bus system in case I'm ever by myself, sans bike, and not in walking distance.
It has to be so different over there. I remember trying to figure out the bus system in DC and Austin back here in the states. I guess if you don't live around it, it can be a little overwhelming. I bet it is even harder in a foreign language. Well have a great time!!
