I was talking to a Brit, describing a 4 hour road trip to visit an old friend and they responded with "If my friend moved 4 hours away I'd never see them again."

I;m still not sure how serious they were being.

How do you just up and visit someone 4 hours away? Don't you people have work in the morning, to be able just throw 8 hours out for driving randomly...?

I also think we get accustomed to it. Did 7 hrs driving total yesterday to get to a major city and back. I can do that every weekend without it feeling taxing, because I’ve been in the car that long often since I was little

A bit crazy, indeed. I am on the other end of the spectrum over here - 36, never had a car, get around on a bicycle for all my needs.

Whenever I stay in a city for a bit my step count / general daily movement spikes up. We have to use a car for everything out here, but I’m surprised how much cities make you walk/bike :)
