World's Fastest Walker
Now give yourself a pat on the back and say "I'm the World's Fastest Walker!"
Some researchers are so free, they went to time the time taken for city prowlers to walk 60 feet, that's about 18.3 metres. And apparently Singaporeans walk the fastest. We took 10.55 seconds for that. If you hold a pink identification card, say hello.
It is reported that Singaporeans walk 30% faster than we did in the 1990s. So after calculations, we used to take 13.7 seconds to do that. Hey, that's quite a large difference. Look at this:
1) Singapore (Singapore): 10.55
2) Copenhagen (Denmark): 10.82
3) Madrid (Spain): 10.89
4) Guangzhou (China): 10.94
5) Dublin (Ireland): 11.03
6) Curitiba (Brazil): 11.13
7) Berlin (Germany): 11.16
8) New York (United States of America): 12.00
9) Utrecht (Netherlands): 12.04
10) Vienna (Austria): 12.06
11) Warsaw (Poland): 12.07
12) London (United Kingdom): 12.17
13) Zagreb (Croatia): 12.20
14) Prague (Czech Republic): 12.35
15) Wellington (New Zealand): 12.62
16) Paris (France): 12.65
17) Stockholm (Sweden): 12.75
18) Ljubljana (Slovenia): 12.76
19) Tokyo (Japan): 12.83
20) Ottawa (Canada): 13.72
21) Harare (Zimbabwe): 13.92
22) Sofia (Bulgaria): 13.96
23) Taipei (Taiwan): 14.00
24) Cairo (Egypt): 14.18
25) Sana'a (Yemen): 14.29
26) Bucharest (Romania): 14.36
27) Dubai (United Arab Emirates): 14.64
28) Damascus (Syria): 14.94
29) Amman (Jordan): 15.95
30) Bern (Switzerland): 17.37
31) Manama (Bahrain): 17.69
32) Blantyre (Malawi): 31.60
My oh my, 31.60s to walk 18 metres? Do they crawl?? No offence, but taking more than half a minute to walk 18 metres is seriously looooooooooooooooong. I bet the people there are very relaxed and...maybe, happy. Unlike us. Muaha.
