    Perhaps there should be a campaign encouraging people to adopt the ‘paseo’ (Spanish) or ‘passegiatta’ (Italian). This tradition of taking an evening walk after dinner is pleasant, healthy and sociable and particularly nice in Summer or the daylight-saving months for those outside of Qld. Country towns and walkable cities where people can stroll and greet each other would be good for both mental as well as physical health.
