Always used to think that was funny until it happened to me.

I mean, is any floor ever perfectly level? Like really. That sounds like one of those things contractors say to scare you into paying for more work. Unless you're rolling marbles across the room and they all gather in one corner, how bad could it be? Most houses settle a bit anyway. People get way too hung up on stuff you'd never notice unless you were looking for it.

Did you find that walking let you notice the small stuff, like how the light hits the tiles on the buildings or overhear bits of conversation? I always feel that slow pace shows you the city's rhythm, like catching the evening breeze at a miradouro instead of rushing to the next photo op. It's those unplanned stops that stick with you, like a random courtyard garden or a family-run shop you'd never see from a bus window.
