Once, I showed an American visitor around the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in , and at one point she stopped, caught her breath, and asked me:

"How do you manage to walk uphill and talk at the same time?"

That may be wise.

A friend of mine from South Africa lived here for 14 years, but she was still out of breath very quickly when we climbed a minor hill near Bielefeld two weeks ago.

She's all excited from the pictures but I think we will need to do some daily walks before then to get her used to it. 😄

To be fair, walking anywhere in an American city could mean risking your life.

At hotel reception they booked me a restaurant and asked if they could call me a taxi there. I could see the restaurant on the other side of the road!
