An
example:
In
the USA, I often drive a car to take care of daily business and shopping, but when I moved to China this summer I had no car and I found that there
were no taxis and very few buses in the city where I lived.
I adapted by walking a lot. As
a result, I became thinner and in better shape, so walking was not a problem. I also adapted by learning where to buy things without having
to walk far, and I learned the bus routes to places where I had to go.
