it helps you have functional public infrastructure.
America? Not so much. It can take hours to get somewhere outside of like new york or chicago, where it takes a care maybe 20-30 minutes to get to. and I know this for a fact, because I've tried to take the bus on numerous occasions, and found it to be faster to walk unless you luck out and happen to have your destination on the same bus route you got on with no transfers.
Yeah I know, like I said in my original comment, I realize I'm incredibly lucky to have been born here with all this available for me.
and I'm so glad for you, and totally not seething with green eyed jealousy <3
Theehee. I've said this many times to many people, if anyone wants to migrate, I'm willing to do a Finnish equivalent of a green-card marriage lol
do I get to be the big spoon?
Sounds like a good deal to me! In fact, I demand to be the small spoon.
you know what, if I dont have to walk for ~~3 miles~~ 4.828032km of a ~~5 mile~~ 8.04672km bus ride, I'd take being the small spoon
it's that 4828033rd millimeter that really gets you, huh?
