I lived in the countryside all of my
Ife, whenever I brought my friends who are from the city, they always ended up angry with me after 20 min walk, ╮(￣▽￣)╭
lmao yeah a lot of city folks(not all) don't have much stamina, I usually walk everywhere I have to go but my stamina still doesn't compare to that of my cousins who grew up in the countryside and I get made fun of whenever I go visit. A lot of my friends are worse than me so it's a relief lol
One time my college friends and I went to a waterfalls (there are about 7 small waterfalls in that area) near the city and the locals were like "it's just a little walk to the waterfalls" and we had to walk on a slippery (it was raining the night before) steep hill, had to cross a waterfall by climbing by the wet rocks, carefully walk on a straight but dangerous path because it's a small path and at the left side there's a shallow river that's 20 ft below the path and the right side is a steep hill so we can't walk on it. Idk how I didn't or at least accidentally slip. Probably because my 18th birthday is the day after that lol
i'm originally from the a city where you drive everywhere (my fam too), but then I moved to NYC and was cheap af, so i never took public transit, I walked everywhere so i built up some stamina. when my sister visited me on the day of a snow storm, i left my bags with my friends and went to go pick her up from the train station. ONce she arrived i told her it was a short walk from the station to where I left my stuff plus a restaurant was near it so we could do lunch. She was complaining the entire 20 minutes we walked, and complained some more because we had to climb two flights of stairs after the walk to get to the place i left my bags. We got food, and then walked to my place which was passed the station she came from. Lol, he exact words were "I'm from CT, we don't walk anymore than what it takes to get to the car from the front door!" Doesn't help she only brought a jacket (with no hood, nonetheless) with her even though it was snowing ALOT that weekend.
Everything aside, it's true that you should never trust someone from the countryside who says "it's just a short walk from here." man do I have memories of crying during those "short walks" specially since everywhere around here seems to be steep mountains and hills, 10/10 never doing that again
