Last Saturday I rented a rowboat for half an hour (800円) and floated around a pond in Nara park. I found it amusing how I always end up in the cliche romantic scenarios/scenes/places by myself but…it was really relaxing. Imagine having to take a rowboat to work everyday? Why don’t we have more of these?

While I haven’t seen rowboats, those foot paddleboats were fairly popular in Lausanne. A common chillout pastime was paddling out to the middle of the lake with a friend and a pack of beer. Romantic? No. But entertaining and frivolous: it’s the journey, not the destination.
