These Europeans have very crazy ideas about transportation. They use big metal boxes that are underground to transport people from one area of the city to another. They refer to this as "taking the metro". They also have very big metal boxes above ground that they call "buses". No one is afraid to ride these buses as the typical customers are usually completely without mental instability and free of a "shady" character. To be fair, the typical customer falls on the "not stinky" to "walking cadaver stench" spectrum closer to not stinky although we have had the unfortunate encounter on several occasions with specimens of walking cadaver stench.
We were further puzzled by the Europeans' use of things called "Legs". Apparently people use these legs to travel from one place to another. At first I thought they were playing a joke on me but after using my own legs for transport for an ENTIRE DAY, I knew there was no joke. I actually use MY OWN BODY for transportation. In fact, there is a direct correlation between using legs and eating cheese. The more legs one uses, the more cheese one eats. After visiting the grocery store's cheese section - which easily would take up a whole isle of an American grocery store - I see that there is very compelling rationale for utilizing my own legs. Blue cheese, I will see you soon.
In case you missed the moral of the story as you salivate over the cheese gamut, make sure you bring some good walking shoes as we walk everywhere out here. Especially if you're doing the tourist stuff, expect to be on your feet for hours and easily walk 5 miles a day. Good preparation is to go to the gym and walk on the treadmill until you can do at least 2 hours, make sure you include an incline as Europeans are big fans of steps. To give you an idea of how much they like steps, I had to walk up a step just to post this message.
