This morning I stood on a street corner waiting for a bus and in the twenty minutes that I was waiting three people walked by me. In the same amount of time probably 300 cars went by me. Last night I took a short car trip down to Ikea and we drove on a section of the busiest highway in the area. If I remember correctly at one point there were five lanes of traffic going in the same direction and another two lanes that were separate but also in the same direction. Now that’s a quite a lot of cars and highway, especially for me, someone who didn’t grow up in a driving focused country, and it’s just one more adjustment that I’m finding I have to make. A car makes life a lot easier here.
