1. I have never seen so many scooters with obese people on them. They hog up the lanes, busses, and lines for rides. It takes 5 damn minutes to lower and raise the draw bridge to load their fat asses on the bus. For every 1 person I saw who was actually disabled, I saw 10 obese people riding around. Side note: I saw tons of foreigners and 95% were normal size or slightly overweight

The scooters are a big problem... and I say that knowing that in a week and a half, I'll be there with my family and my wife's parents will both have one. But they are 70+ and have trouble walking. No issue with weight.

But they do dramatically slow down the bus service. I've often said there needs to be seperate busses and times for them.

However... with many of these obese people... there obesity is such that it truly becomes a handicap. It's no more easier for them to get around than a person who is actually in a wheelchair.

2. its your money and by all means spend as you may, but what’s with bringing babies and 1/2 year olds? I saw hundreds of women and men with strollers and month old babies strapped to their chests. It was 90 degrees and you’re on your feet all day spending a ton of money. Why bring a baby or infant? Curious of the rationale behind that.

Most of the time, they are their with other children/family, and don't want to let having a young baby cause them to miss out.

If it's just husband, wife, and 6 month old... that's odd. But usually that's not the case.
