Feeling real immersed, Duolingo

Would it kill them to better represent other cultures and countries or do they just have the one set of Corporate Memphis art assets and they're too stingy to create more

In Japan basically the kids just walk to school or take the train

Sounds nice. I can't knock yellow school buses either, it's public transportation for the kids. When I was in high school though taking the bus rather than driving was for nerds, years later I long for the bus, fuck cars.

In Finland students who live far away from their schools receive a free travel card (only valid on week days though), but they do have school bus service in rural areas where the population density is roughly equivalent to the average distribution of atoms in interstellar space.

Also, disabled and special needs students in urban areas get their own mini buses for obvious reasons
