Lombard Street

Moreover, I had one more similar experience again during the travel.
It is about Lombard Street, which is in the photo below.



Before visiting the place, I saw the place on postcard which looks similar to this photo – a zigzag road surrounded by pretty flowers.

However, the Lombard Street I saw during the travel was much different from the photo.
There were no flowers along the road,
and the road was filled with too many cars which look like bugs.
It was just disgusting.

I was thinking why many people were willing to pass the road though it was like nothing during the season.
For me, passing the road is just difficult because of the zigzag shape.

How come they wait in line for too long time to drive the empty road!?
Isn’t it worthless!?
It just takes too much time!

They might be satisfied with the fact that they pass the famous road.
We are satisfied when we do something special.
For example,
don’t you feel happy or excited when you step on the equator and take photos
though it is just a border?

Lombard Street is in the same way – people are happy to drive the road because they think that the road is still special regardless how poorly the road looks because of season.

Tourists are looking for satisfaction and excitement through the travel.
I seek the satisfaction and excitement through matching my image and the reality.
And those other tourists in Lombard Street seek the satisfaction and excitement through passing the road regardless the visual.
However, we feel empty if we cannot achieve the excitement and satisfaction.
