   Wow, you have found paradise where I find stress and rage. Road rage   
   is our biggest problem, followed by the lack of space and the presence   
   of hobos and junkies in our parks.   
      
   I find that walking and riding a bike release stress like nothing else   
   --except when you come across the stupid drivers. In California   
   drivers give you the right of way at the corners, but here you must be   
   looking over your shoulder, as if you were in the jungle.
