> Anyway, most everyone likes to walk around and explore whatever environment they're in. I know a lot of people who never walk anywhere, never really "wander", think it's weird at best, unsafe at worst. They will on vacation, in an environment branded for it. think cutesy town, think Disneyland. What you're doing is maybe not exceptional, but it _is_ noteworthy that it's not universal. Wandering in nature isn't really the sort of urban wandering the "flaneur" does either. That only exist in the industrialized city. It requires some anonymity, since it's a little voyeuristic. It requires leisure time, wealth, it's consumptive, since the flaneur and cafe culture are complementary. The city needs to be large enough to discover new experiences. I don't think we're disagreeing overall, more maybe in our assessment how widespread it is.
