對老年人, 這種生活型態會比較好嗎?

Yesterday afternoon, I visited a supermarket near my daughters, a relatively wealthy residential area. When I finished shopping, I saw two vehicles were coming and parking at either side of mine. Getting out of their luxurious SUVs apiece, two gray-haired but well-dressed old ladies slowly emerged. Then they gave each other mutual support with trembling hands and walked the short distance to the supermarket on their feeble feet.

I guess the old ladies are good friends, and they engaged each other to shop together. They may live in decent houses in the town and afford expensive cars. But are they leading an easy and convenient life in their senior days without driving alone? In this regard, I empathize with them because I am nearing 80 and must drive here in the State. Fortunately, I may return to Taiwan for an easier and more convenient life.

Good luck, ladies.

不知格主竟年近80,失敬!

美國居大不易的一點是:交通。各州馬路多,少公車系統,感覺是在配合汽車,石油消費市場。

我和先生都不開車,會選擇住舊金山灣區,就是看中那裡公車捷運相對進步。回台後,特適應,這裡的確是退休“老人”的好選擇,到哪兒都方便。宅配服務尤其優,因為我非常討厭出門購物。我相當同情那些上了年紀還得開車奔波道途的老人家,出門三分險啊。

我旅居南灣, 也算是鄰居了.
