I suspect that we travel a lot less frequently than we'd like and that's why this forum is still dead. How do you travel to work? Do you have a secret path?
I have a secret path that goes to 'work' (Starbucks) and it's a secret because the path along the main road goes up and then back down but this one is level all the way even though it's parallel. It also goes right by where my favourite girl works. |

I moved last month & I love my new commute.
Right alongside my villa are 50 concrete steps straight up -- the panorama of Seoraksan is epic. I've befriended some dogs that live up top. Then I walk alongside a field of soy under a canopy of chestnut trees. Then I follow a bit of forest trail.
Then I'm at work without having seen or set foot on any streets at all.
7 minutes, or a bit longer if I pause to awe at the view. I'm a happy trekker. |

| My work is right across the street. Easiest commute I ever had. I had a nice commute in Seattle, mind you. Basically I drove from my apartment to my office along a road that ran along Lake Washington. Every morning it was a relaxing 15 minute drive along a mist-shrouded lake. |

Sounds like my commute when I lived in California a few years back. I lived in Napa and worked in St. Helena so my commute was about 20 minutes or so through the heart of wine country. Lovely.
Now my commute is about 1 minute: out my door, down the driveway and into my school door. I couldn't come up with an alternative route if I wanted to.  |

Currently it's a 10 minute, full throttle taxi ride. My best ever commute was Vietnam.
Down the long narrow lanes from my villa, in between the two lakes (west lake and Tu Bac) and then past Ho Chi Minh's Mausaleum then down the wide boulevards past the embassies, into BATHROOM STREET and my language school. It was a magical and beautiful journey and I felt like I was living out my Indochine fantasies.
All on my trusty Honda Wave and at the cruising speed of 35k (which is 5km over the limit) |
