The taxis are not plentiful but somehow always present, people don’t get lost, and there is no unspeakable traffic that makes you want to take advantage of the assumedly lax local gun laws. It puts a Super Bowl in New York or a Grand Prix in Indy to shame, and the weather is nicer.
9. The Golf
If you’ve never played golf before, you can’t know how difficult it is, and if you’ve never seen golf played by professionals, it is impossible to explain how skilled these athletes are. But if you understand what you’re looking at, it is an absolute astonishment that forces you to forget about everything else.
It leaves you with an amazing amount of respect for the sport, a sense of humility that you were allowed to witness it. And regardless of your skill or your physical condition, it makes you want to pick up a club and just play. Or at least come back next year.
