So I’ve been here for over a month now and I’ve noticed how quickly Japanese people tend to walk as if they’re about to miss a flight or something. Now I’m not super tall @ 5’7″ and have a stride of about 0.73m, but I just can’t seem to keep up with the flow of walking traffic. Even people shorter than me walk super fast (lots of steps quickly) and it just baffles me why everyone is in such a hurry.
Is it just me? Am I a slow walker?
