Ahh, now that's not such a great example.
Travel isn't about the distance coved.
200 miles in some parts of Europe can take you in to a radically different culture,
lifestyle, language, nation, landscape etc.
2000 miles in Australia or America, for example, might only change the landscape.
London to Moscow may be the same distance as [American City #1] to [American City #2],
butthat hardly tells the full story. |
Well, seeing that we cannot hop into our car and drive 200 miles for that radical culture change, I think distance plays a role in our travel plans
