Walking is Fun!

From Fred's World, an intoduction to Europe:

1. Everyone in Europe smokes. Everyone.
2. You need a ladder to climb in and out of the shower.
3. You have to hold your nose when on the Paris subway. It seems daily bathing is not in vogue.
4. Parisians don’t mind carrying their bread under their arm. Even when they’re wearing a tank top.

There's more, of course.  Read it.
