firstly some background.

  1. i tend to walk fast.
  2. i’m trying to be a buddha, but some things would even test the buddha.

so i’m walking home from work after stopping at the grocery. moving along well and then everything slows to crawl as i’m stuck behind a group of three walking arm in arm and moving at a snails pace oblivious to anyone around them. i could not walk that slowly even if i tried – and the walk is completely blocked. pileup forming behind me.

seriously they needed some warning lights.

i suggest this test – if you’re holding up someone with a broken foot you’re moving too slowly and need to yield.

i was looking for an image and found the one above on a site for tourists to korea. the caption made my day.
“It is very common for female friends to walk arm in arm or to hold hands while walking in public. This does not always require corn on a stick.“

everyone has probably had the experience of walking down the sidewalk with someone coming directly towards them. you move a bit to the left – just as they do the same, so you move a bit to right – just as they do. this repeats several times and usually both parties laugh a bit as the barely avoid a collision at the last second.

my issue is that this happens to me several times a day and i’m quite sure that i’m testing the patience of a nation.

i’m sure this is based on my inner navigation that keeps pulling me to the right side of the sidewalk directly into the path of the kiwis who walk on the left. can’t explain why this is taking some time to sink in whilst i’ve had no problem with driving, but let’s hope i can get it right before i’m sent to sidewalk school.

the pigeon diet

Published on October 2, 2007 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , .

a new potential diet fad in the making.

today at lunch i got a takeaway from a local cafe and walked to the city square to enjoy the nice day and eat my sandwich.

i unwrap the sandwich, take out half to eat and put the other half right next to me.

i had maybe one bite before straight of a scene from the birds i was descended upon by an army of determined pigeons who made short work of the other half of my sandwich. it was like a swarm of piranhas.

i guess i wasn’t that hungry…
