Walk in the city

I was outside today, walking with my friend. It's rather unusual for me these days, as I spent most of the time in front of my computor in classes... But anyway, I am thinking about different perseptions and different styles of life. Like, you do concider fast walkin useful? Can you see what's going on around if you walk fast and you talk to your friend? Should people work too hard? I think it's nice that is Europe people know what means to relax, to stop for a while, to drink a cup of tea or coffee. Because these things are also part of our life, maybe even more important than our work :)
