In the US, I rarely walk unless I am going for a hike or a walk in the park or a walk on the beach. But here in Asia, I tend to walk a lot, especially when going from one bus stop to another or from one MRT (subway, monorail, elevated train, etc). And if my destination is within walking distance, I prefer to walk (especially if I am not in a rush). At least I am able to see the neighborhoods up close and at the same time, capture some images and videos for my photography and video projects. Also you learn a lot about a neighborhood and its people by walking and interacting with them. I just wish that even though I am not shy, I’ve got the nerve to ask people to photograph them and to shoot a video of them as part of my travel photography and video project.
