Perspective

I went to Kildonan Place today. Had to go by bus, so walked from Johnson and Henderson to the Louise Bridge. And when I got to the bridge, I was surprised at how little time it had taken to get there. See, for the past 7 years I've been driving everywhere in my car, and to walk that far seemed AWFULLY far. Even walking across the parking lot at Superstore seemed a long way. But in Japan I walked a lot for lack of car, and I guess I've gotten used to it. Anyway, distances that once seemed horrendous are no longer a problem. Isn't that good?
