ugh, worse still is when the kids sneak onto the bus when they live like, 8 minutes away from the school and the kids who live 40 minutes away have to be squashed into the seats. but i know that when it's warm enough then even the kids who live 40 minutes away prefer to walk home.
anyways, besides diet and exercise, most asians genetically have a smaller body, right? like, their bone structure.
and also, i think the reason people use cars and trucks more in north america and in europe people ride their bikes and walk is that i believe everything's alot closer together. because north america is a BIG place, and it's fairly new, so there's alot of room. so people build their houses further away from things and so often have to use cars to get where they want to go. for example, the nearest convenience store to my house is about a 20 minute walk. but when i was visiting relatives in dublin and london, they all had convenience stores about 5 minutes from their house. i think in europe things are just built closer together.
