Close yet far away




Another impression is how close yet how far everything is. As the crow flies, it is a small country and nothing is very far away. But the problem is that very little of the land is flat, and what is flat, is sloping at an angle. So to go from point A to point B requires descending and ascending, perhaps multiple times. It is not a place for people with weak knees! In addition, buildings tend to enlarge by going up rather than spreading out.
