I used to like buses and trains, I miss them because we drive everywhere now (or cycle for short local trips). The last time I used a subway was about 25 years ago, used them often when I lived in Germany.
Hi, Gru!!! I can't agree more with your ideas, and I totally feel you. I think the phenomenon you mentioned is not just commonplace but also a worldwide issue.I see similar problems in our region as well. In essence, I believe it's about manners and courtesy. Whether in the online world or in real life, it's politeness and respect that make the world a better place.
The reason I really enjoy reading threads and blogs is that I often find the ideas and issues people are facing are alike—or even identical. Sometimes I deliberately check the time and year when the posts were written, and I genuinely feel amazed at the elapse of time and how the same situation can bring people from different periods together in one thread. Most importantly, the answers remain relevant and continue to shed light on future readers. That's why I think giving feedback is of vital significance.
Ahhh, it's a pity that I can't drive in my city, Beijing—not because I don't have a driver's license, but because I don't have access to a number plate.
Anyways, bikes are enough for my daily use.
BTW: German is really hard to learn, and I find difficulty in remembering all the cases in German language.
